Story of the Day

In the words of Billy Joel "We didn't start the fire" but this lady did! To herself!

A woman set herself on fire while at the Mall of the Americas in Miami yesterday.

The 43 year old woman poured flammable liquid on herself and subsequently suffered third degree burns on over 75% of her body.

Witnesses were understandably shocked at the sight of this woman walking very slowly and on fire.

Super freaky!

Dexter Morgan is a blood-splatter analyst in the forensics department for the Miami Metro Police Department.

When not analyzing crime scenes, or cleaning up his own crime scenes, Dexter can be found hanging out with his girlfriend, dealing with his sister, and having flashbacks with his father.

He has a killer eye for detail and if you have it coming to you, Dexter will make sure you get it!

Story of the Day

Familiar with the saying "if it's too good to be true, it's probably not"?

Well that's exactly what happened at a Best Buy in Kissimmee when a bunch of shoppers showed up to buy a 52 inch high definition television for only $9.99!

The manager of the store told everyone waiting to get their hands on "cheap" TV that Best Buy was NOT honoring the online deal because it was a mistake.

That totally sucks because many businesses will give you the price a product is listed as, even if it's a mistake.

No news on how long the mistake was online for.

WTF Miami??

When the South Florida owner of "Geronimo", a beautiful brown and white horse, reported him missing, she didn't expect he would be found dead under a tree.

Apparently, 19 horses have been killed in Southeast Florida since January---and many believe they are being killed for their meat.

Although the police believe it is too premature to form a motive, a member of the SPCA believes that horses are being killed for their meat by people of different nationalities.

Miami is a melting pot of many, many cultures, and I guess in some of these cultures, eating meat is legal.

This is SO disgusting.

I hope Geronimo didn't die in vain, and that the awareness this story has brought will put an end to such a heinous crime.

G.I. Ho!

The owner of a "dancing" troupe in Florida has just released footage of "G.I. Joe" star, and Tampa-raised, Channing Tatum, stripping.

Turns out Channing was a "dancer" for over a year for an all male revue called "Male Encounter" back in 1999.

What a bad name---not catchy like "Thunder Down Under!"

The video is pretty scandalous, considering he gets down to a thong and gyrates. Quite a bit.

Try not to laugh at how silly he looks in nothing but a thong and gym socks!

Story of the Day

Jude Law's happy-go-lucky Vespa riding days have hit a bump, a baby bump you could say.

It's been announced that model Samantha Burke from Pensacola is pregnant with Jude's fourth child.

Jude and Samantha are not currently dating.

I'm not at all surprised Jude fell for the charms of a Florida girl.
What I am surprised about is that he wouldn't practice safe sex when he's worth a lot of money and there are a lot of ladies with bad intentions out there.

But not Samantha, because Florida girls are good girls *wink*
