Dwyane Wade estate up for auction

 

 


Dwyane Wade must really want to get the hell outta here, because why else would he list his Pinecrest estate on a website called BillionaireXchange? Listed since November 13, the sprawling, 11,611 square foot 7 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom estate can be all yours if you put out the lucky bid. Starting bid was $4,599,000. So far there are no active bids and no one watching the auction, although it does say the reserve price has been met. Only a super rich super fan would want this house. Why? The pool is in-laid with his nickname, Flash, and his Miami Heat jersey number 3. Bidding ends on December 13 which is perfect for someone looking for that extra special holiday gift. In related news, an offer has been made on Wyclef Jean's old house on Pinetree Drive, the one that creditors took over 2 weeks ago. Guess he won't be bidding on Wade's house, huh?

Update: Apparently listing Wade's home on that website was a big no-no. When the actual listing agents for the estate got wind of it, they had it taken down. Needless to say they were not happy about it and apparently Wade was completely unware as well.

Who is Cynthia Rodriguez's new boyfriend?

New York media is much more obsessed with A-Rod than we are, but when it comes to what happens in our own backyard, we've no choice but to pay attention. Which brings us to this post. Page Six published a picture of A-Rod's ex wife Cynthia Rodriguez holding hands with a mystery man. Worse than that, they asked women what they thought of the new dude, and one woman bluntly called him, well, "ugly." Not nice! To each his own, and if anyone has any idea who he is, feel free to let us know.

Memo to Sammy Sosa: lighten up!

 

 

It seems that the one thing Sammy Sosa didn't get for his birthday was a sense of humor. And that's exactly what radio host Enrique Santos, so-called King of All Spanglish Media and host of his eponymous show on Univision Radio’s Miami affiliate La Kalle 98.3 FM, wanted to give him as a gift last night. Santos never had the chance. Invited as a guest to Sosa's big birthday bash at the Fontainebleau, Santos thought he'd have a little fun with the whole Lightening Gate situation and show up at the party looking like he got locked into a spray tan booth. "I'm currently using a cream which has darkened my complexion," Santos says. "Ironically, Sammy is going through the same process, but the cream he is using is making him white." While on the red carpet doing interviews, Santos was approached by a publicist who asked him what he was doing, telling Santos, "You can't make fun of him," and ultimately kicking him out of the affair. "I explained to her that it was a special cream I was using that darkened my face and then I asked her, 'How many women in here are wearing makeup?'' but she wasn't having it," Santos tells us. "Was I not white enough for Sammy's party or have the millions gotten to his head--I mean skin?"

This is it! An exclusive look at Sammy Sosa's birthday party invitation

No it's not an invitation to a screening of the late Michael Jackson's This Is It, but what you see here is an exclusive look at the invite to Sammy Sosa's 41st birthday party at the Fontainebleau's oceanfront ballroom Saturday night. Do not adjust your screens! The color, or lack thereof, is spot on--or off, rather.  

Shaunie O'Neal and Shaq: Splitsville Vol. 2.0

 
It's over--again. Shaunie O'Neal has filed for separation from Shaq. According to TMZ, Shaunie flew to LA where she filed the papers and intends to file for divorce. Reason? Irreconcilable differences. Those who remember when Shaq was playing for the Miami Heat--those who happen to be female and live in, say, the Flamingo, shouldn't be shocked.
 

50 Cents puts his two cents (and then some) into Fontainebleau dinner party

Before he celebrates the launch of his new cologne 50 Scent Power at LIV tonight, rapper 50 Cent will be at a dinner party in his honor at Scarpetta at the Fontainebleau. It's funny how things change, really. We recall how, back in the day, circa 2003, when he was riding high on his hit In Da Club, Fiddy (do people still call him that?) had to sign waivers whenever he went into certain swanky South Beach hotels because he was considered a liability with his gangsta background and shootings and all. Tonight the F-bleau rolls out the red carpet for him and the only request the rapper turned perfumer had was that everyone at his dinner must drink his favorite cocktail of Belvedere shaken with, what else, his very own Formula 50 Vitamin Water. Oh yeah, and he also demanded that, on the way into LIV, all revelers will walk through a streaming spritz of Power by 50. Nah. That would have been a request by his younger self. Plus, the new, more mature, brand-batty 50 Cent is now called Fifty Cent. Got that?

Tom and Gisele: the Tweet heard 'round the (Boston) Globe

We were at Prime Italian, across the street from Prime 112, before Tom Brady and very pregnant wife Gisele Bündchen made their very flashy exit amidst gawkers, stalkers and assorted drunk folks in Halloween costumes. We Tweeted about it the following day and had no idea how big the news really was. From Boston to Brazil, the news of the couple eating steak on South Beach created quite the buzz. After dinner, the duo headed back to the Ocean Drive penthouse of Ed Razek, Chief Marketing Officer of Victoria's Secret, where they stayed during this brief jaunt to the Beach. They left yesterday and the media storm continues and for that, we thank The Brady family as well as Mark Shanahan and Meredith Goldstein at The Boston Globe for the very nice ink. Come back again soon, y'hear?

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush didn't get married or anything, they just got some meatballs

 

Seen at Cafe Martorano: On again couple Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush on the eve of the New Orleans Saints Miami Dolphins game. They ate. A lot: meatballs, calamari, grilled hot dogs, shrimp scampi and lobster. No sign of Bush's ex-Miami gal pal---the 20-something, uh, professional, who caused Kardashian to put the kibosh on the relationship the first time around.  

Jennifer Lopez to unleash her inner Lola at LIV Saturday

Every so often a celebrity gets bored with themselves and goes all Sybil on us, revealing their multiple personalities channels their alter ego. Madonna had Esther. Mariah had Mimi. Even the Real Housewives of Atlanta did it. And now, we introduce to you the artist formerly known as Jennifer Lopez, J-Lo and Jenny from the Block, who will emerge from the bowels of the Fontainebleau on Saturday night to appear for the very first time as Lola at LIV on Saturday night. Lop--er, Lola will perform her debut single "Fresh Out of the Oven" along with Pitbull, who will also be there. A grand entrance is expected in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Doesn't Lola need her beauty sleep for her other alter--the Miami Dolphins owner--on Sunday?  

American Idol Winner Kris Allen Performs @ Sunday's Dolphins Game

While American Idol runner up (and if you ask some, the only winner) Adam Lambert lands on the cover of DETAILS magazine, telling 'em "I am gay, but I like kissing women sometimes. Women are pretty. It doesn't mean I 'm necessarily sleeping with them.") the actual winner, Kris Allen, who is finalizing his debut album set for release on November 17, will perform at Landshark Stadium Sunday as the main act on the Dolphins tailgate stage on the Grand Plaza. Show will start before the Dolphins-Saints game at 4:15 p.m. Says Allen, "As a HUGE football fan, I 'm thrilled that my first gig for my band and me is at the Miami/New Orleans tailgate party." Lambert told DETAILS something similar, saying, "It's all fantasy--that's what entertainment is. I'm here to entertain you and if my sexuality is apparent and you respond to it, and you're attracted to it, then great, I'm doing my job."
