TMZ reports that ARod has left the building--that is, his 9 bedroom, 11 bathroom Miami Beach manse, which he just sold for $30 million. Though the Yankee slugger took an $8 million pay cut in the price of the home, originally listed at $38 mil, he bought it in 2010 for $7.4 million, raking in a pretty impressive profit nonetheless. The buyer, TMZ says, is a Palm Beach celeb. Rush Limbaugh? Rod Stewart? G-d forbid Donald Trump? No one knows--yet. Says our real estate mole, "It's a couple from Palm Beach." The home is not so far from Matt Damon's, which is currently on the market for the bargain basement price of $20 million. True high rollers, however, may want to consider the Versace mansion, which just dropped its asking price today from $100 million to $75 million.

Exclusive pix of Lindsay Lohan's latest Miami mug shots!
Here's Lindsay Lohan in rare form, like we've never seen her---working in Miami as opposed to channeling her inner Janis Joplin like she used to back when she was barely legal. In town for just the weekend, Lohan did her best Marilyn Monroe impression at a cover shoot on the roof of the Raleigh Hotel for Plum Magazine. Says our spy, "Her hair and dress were blowing up in the wind, possibly showing more than she intended." But what was seen at the shoot was a hell of a lot better what some have seen from her in the past. And about that past: Lohan's Miamified magazine mug shot will be unveiled on June 15th--just two days before the troubled starlet will have to surrender to authorities to begin serving her jail time for that stolen necklace nonsense. Note to all aspiring starlets: getting arrested and thrown in jail doesn't always guarantee you a magazine cover so do not try this at home.

NeNe Leakes shopping for million dollar Miami mansion?
NeNe Leakes may have walked off the job mid-Celebrity Apprentice, but it seems she doesn't need Donald Trump's PR machine to help her buy a million plus dollar Miami home. Yep, as if Miami didn't have enough of the Real Housewives, now the in your face Hotlanta Housewife may be looking to relocate.
If you believe the rumors, she's also "dating" nemesis Star Jones's ex hubby, Al Reynolds, who lives down here too, and if that's so, the move makes sense. But nothing about that previous sentence makes sense, so never mind.She has, however, made no secret about the fact that she loves being in Miami, recently here again at the National Hotel to film a segment of her show with castmates Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey.
Says our source, "The homes that were shown all ranged in the millions. I assume she is doing a lot better [than estranged husband Gregg], since she is actively looking for million dollar properties. On Saturday, she went out looking with her official real estate agent, Darin Feldman of Majestic Properties." Not at all ironically or coincidentally, we hear said agent is also in talks of co-starring on yet another reality show about--you guessed it--real estate agents. #MakeItStop

First look at the Charlie's Angels redux
ABC just announced they are indeed picking up the new Charlie's Angels series filmed and set in Miami starring Minka Kelly, Rachel Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh with Robert Wagner as the voice of Charlie and Drew Barrymore behind the scenes as executive producer. Synopsis is as expected: "Everyone deserves a second chance. Even a thief, a street racer and a cop who got in a little too deep. After all, the three women who solve cases for their elusive boss Charlie Townsend are no saints - they're angels... Charlie's Angels." Here's a sneak preview. Shockingly, it won't pull a CSI: Miami and will actually film its first season down here. Tune in (or out) when it airs this this fall, Thursday nights at 8 p.m.

Rock of Ages Pre-Casting Call in Fort Lauderdale
Tony nominated, American Idol rejected Constantine Maroulis may have been dissed from playing the lead in the motion picture version of his Broadway smash hit Rock of Ages, but Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Catherine Zeta-Jones and some random dude who took Maroulis's place Gonzalez Boneta, among others, will be in the flick and, as we reported last month, will be not too far from us, filming in Fort Lauderdale this month and possibly, if our big mouthed sources are correct, maybe even staying in Miami. And perchance, for a chance at an even closer view of the big staaahs, a casting call for extras will take place May 6-7, 13-14, and 20-21 at America's Backyard, 100 SW 3rd Ave. in the FLL. Times are 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. except on the 14th when it will be from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Late night casting calls, huh. Interesting, but here's the rub: this is a pre-casting to the actual casting. Apparently all you need to bring with you is a picture, contact phone number and email. Professional photos not necessary. Those people already have their parts in the movie. Good luck and, uh, rock on.
