Rival producers Timbaland and Scott Storch -- who've trash-talked each other in song -- had a near run-in Monday night at BED's Motley Bird-sponsored Secret Society party. Each was with his respective entourage, lounging on a bed, and both sipped on energy drinks and vodka for a good two hours before noticing that the other was also there. After a few final sips of his cocktail, Timbaland finished up and headed out with his crew in a black Mercedes-Benz. No exchanges were made, no badly rhyming barbs... Link To Original Article

For once, Cyndi Lauper wishes she weren't so unusual. The singing star, with hits including Girls Just Want to Have Fun and Time After Time, wants heterosexuals to become ''straight allies'' to gay people. Link To Original Article

This probably isn't shocking, but the guys I went to Hebrew school with weren't the world's greatest athletes. We were pretty decent in basketball and soccer but not one of us received a scholarship to play collegiate level sports. However, on a really good day, I bet we could have beaten the Miami Dolphins this season. And if we just trained a bit harder, we might have steamrolled over the Heat as well.

Before taking off next week to wherever the turkey beckons, give thanks to the fact that Miami's no longer the coma-inducing cultural turkey it used to be. Sleepless Night drew 100,000 people to Miami Beach earlier this month and at least 22 art fairs are expected during the Art Basel onslaught three weeks from now. The only coma we may suffer now will be from wearing ourselves out with too much to do. Link To Original Article

It has survived Prohibition, the Depression, various hurricanes, an influx of crack houses and the emergence of South Beach as an international night-life hot spot.

In a city where aging is as frowned upon as a woman who wrinkles her nose at Botox, it's hard to imagine celebrating lines and age spots, but alas, we will do just that on Friday, as the city's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, marks its 95th birthday. Link To Original Article

After scouring the Internet for facts about Daylight Saving Time, I'm no better informed than I was at the beginning of my quest. However, and this is not a joke, from what I've learned William Willett initiated the modern version of DST in 1907 because he was an avid golfer and desired more daylight in the afternoon to practice his putts.

I was on the computer late one night checking e-mails, when I received a message from a friend. ''OK, when do you know if a man that you hang out with likes you or is just being nice,'' Amanda wrote. ``It's like you get the vibe, that he likes you, but he doesn't make the move.''

Actors Benjamin Bratt and John Leguizamo celebrated the premiere of their movie, Love in the Time of Cholera, at Social Miami at Sagamore Thursday night (costar Javier Bardem was supposed to attend, but missed his connecting flight). Bratt and Leguizamo showed up together with Leguizamo's wife in a black van around 11:15 p.m. They were both laughing as someone dressed as Juan Valdez walked the red carpet with a donkey named Conchita, compliments of the Colombia tourism board.

October is a rough month for me so I felt no remorse as I recently flipped my Dave Barry desk calendar over to November. First of all, I had to deal with my birthday and the new gray hairs that accompanied it. Secondly, Oktoberfest's barrage of bratwurst is literally weighing me down. And now I may have to do a detoxifying body flush from the pounds of Halloween candy still sitting in my stomach. And lastly, isn't it about time someone publishes the official and absolutely hilarious Gabe Berman desk... Link To Original Article

Office romance. Those are two words that can cause plenty of trouble. I'm not talking about the stereotypical boss who leaves his wife for his secretary storyline. I mean singles in office settings who pursue their co-workers regardless of the warning signs human resources send.

It's pretty scary that it's already Halloween. Scarier than that is that Dennis Rodman and his best gal pal Elaine Lancaster are hosting the Rodmania Halloween Party at Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino tonight, featuring DJ Irie, costume contests for sexiest and most creative costumes and drink specials -- although the cover charge is $20 in advance and $25 at the door, it's not open bar. But we think you're really paying for the chance to see the five-time NBA champ get dolled up in his freakiest... Link To Original Article

Democrats disagree with Republicans. Wars are fought over religion. And there's bias over skin color and gender. But there are really only three types of people on our planet: those who love candy corn, those who despise it, and a few, like me, who absolutely abhor candy corn but yet cannot refrain from consuming handfuls of the aforementioned waxy confection.

OK, so Fall Fashion Week in NYC crowned the hot colors for the season -- browns, purples, grays, orange and a reddish hue called chili pepper. While some may challenge the so-called fashion establishment and say that in Miami, nude is the new black, the real color that's hot on the nocturnal circuit is green -- and we're not talking money. Take the first annual Green is Glam party from 7-10 p.m. Saturday at The Setai. Thrown by the nonprofit Dream in Green to aid the public and private sectors in... Link To Original Article

Halloween is one of the few holidays when it doesn't really matter whether you're single or dating someone. With inhibitions cast aside, we can pretend to be something we usually aren't (which is kind of what happens in the dating process anyway). The only time that doesn't work well is during a Halloween first date (which we will get to shortly). Link To Original Article

What's a Yankees slugger to do when his team blows it? Why, hit South Beach, of course! Seems Derek Jeter has some free time on his hands since his team got knocked out during the first round of playoffs, so he checked into the Shore Club on Friday and hit Nobu with Timbaland. The duo then partied in Skybar's Redroom with five women and two other men. After that, they stopped by SET with nightlife promoter Antonio Misuraca, where they were surrounded by, according to a source, ``women five rows deep... Link To Original Article

The Internet never ceases to amaze me. I was nonchalantly procrastinating online as I so often do and serendipitously stumbled upon an interesting article about an exercise routine that originated in Tibet thousands of years ago. Digging around using Yahoo as my tool, I managed to find forums solely dedicated to this ancient form of training. From there, I poked around Amazon.com until I isolated three books detailing these exercises. Link To Original Article

You've got a few weeks before you have to give candy to eager neighborhood kids, so while you're figuring out your own costumes, consider putting on your charitable face by attending a few very cause-worthy events.
