Miami, FL

The ever versatile and talented Project Runway winner Jay McCarroll was in town promoting his new documentary, Eleven Minutes, at the tenth annual Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Saturday.

Since winning Project Runway, McCarroll has been busy readying his fashion line, which is the subject of the documentary.  As an added treat to watching him prepare the line in Eleven Minutes, McCarroll put on a live fashion show of the looks featured in the documentary.  I was lucky to have been one of the invited guests and snapped away as the models walked the cat walk atop the Claremont Hotel.

I got the opportunity to briefly chat with McCarroll.  He was a great sport and stayed for more than an hour after the show greeting fans who snapped pictures with the reality tv star.

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus, also known as Hannah Montana, was in Miami this week for her last performance on her infamously sold-out “Best of Both Worlds” concert tour.

This photo was taken as she entered the American Airlines Arena for rehearsals on Thursday of this week.

Locals were going crazy for Hannah Montana tickets, doing crazy stunts such as staying in a van for six days for a chance to win front row seats.  Pretty amazing considered her 3-D movie of the concert was set to open on screens in the area the next day.

Early reports say the 3-D film made over $29 million this weekend, making it the biggest opening weekend ever for a film debuting the same weekend as the Super Bowl.  Not bad for a film showing on limited screens, but the high profits were probably helped by the high ticket prices (reportedly $15 each).

Miami’s own Sean Kingston celebrated his birthday at Mansion night club last night, performing his hit single Beautiful Girls for the crowd and partying with producer Scott Storch.

Kim Kardashian waits for her pedicure at the Stoli hotel on South  Beach earlier this week.  Below she enjoys the spa treatment with her sister, Kortney.

Christina Milian was in Miami this week to host the one year anniversary of the Cielo Garden and Supperclub in Coconut Grove.

Christina is an actress and singer who recently appeared in the television movie Snowglobe with Battlestar Galactica’s Luciana Carro.  She was also on a recent episode of the WB’s Smallville and has written or released several hit songs in the past few years.

Her boyfriend, music producer Dre, was also there for the event with his production partner Cool.

Check out Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ new look, which she showed off in South Beach this weekend! 

Well, not really.  This is really rapper Jacki-O, who attended a birthday party for Miami Heat player Dwayne Wade at the Stoli Hotel on South Beach Saturday night. 

But various photo services have labeled the person in the photo as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the original Jackie O.  Sounds like an excellent entry for Undercover Black Man’s Misidentified Black Person of the Week.

Other stars in attendance included Bill Bellamy, Trina, DJ Clue, Marcus Arneaud, and Lisa Lee.

Singer and sitcom star Eve has been spending some downtime in South Beach.  Here’s the beauty in some bikini shots walking along the beach.  I love the tattoo paws!

Lewis Black

Today, Monday, December 31 9:00 PM at Jackie Gleason Theater; Price: $58.50|$87.50.

Satirist and standup comic Lewis Black rose to prominence in the late ’90s with regular appearances as a commentator on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. Obsessed with human stupidity, Black became one of the show’s most distinctive contributors with his weekly "Back in Black" segment; his delivery was so full of frothing, barely articulate bile and rage that it could sometimes obscure the sharpness of his social and political observations.

Lewis Black rose to prominence in the late ’90s with regular appearances as a commentator on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. Obsessed with human stupidity, Black became one of the show’s most distinctive contributors with his weekly "Back in Black" segment; his delivery was so full of frothing, barely articulate bile and rage that it could sometimes obscure the sharpness of his social and political observations. Black graduated from the Yale Drama School and worked for a government anti-poverty program under President Nixon before becoming the playwright in residence at the West Bank Café Downstairs Theatre Bar in Manhattan. Black authored over 40 plays that were produced there and at other theaters across the country (one, The Deal, was made into a movie). Seeking to move into comedy, Black made his motion-picture debut in Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters in 1986, and went on to land a series of guest-starring roles on TV shows like Law and Order, Murphy Brown, Mad About You, Homicide, and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd (the last of which was recurring); he also appeared in several more films, including 1990’s Jacob’s Ladder. Black’s standup star began to rise with appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and he landed a big break when he signed on as a regular contributor to The Daily Show. Since then, Black has continued to tour the country as a standup comedian, and in 2000 issued his first CD, The White Album (which naturally took its art design from the Beatles’ release).
