FUTURE IS PLAYING IT SAFE

If you ever doubted that the handsome rapper Future is a big-time player, here’s proof. According to Mediatakeout, Future bought a 16.3 million dollar waterfront mansion not long ago in Miami that he shares with his family and special girlfriends. Recently he also purchased a 6000 sq foot 7.5 million dollar ocean view apartment-also in Miami- loaded with amenities (somehow you can see your cars from a living room window!) and it offers total privacy coming and going. This place is for his “side chicks!” or one-night-stands. The website says that he got the money for these investments by selling his music catalog for 70 million dollars.

MARLA MAPLES: EVERYBODY’S MOVING TO MIAMI!

Marla Maples, 57, recently moved from New York to Florida to be closer to her unfortunately named daughter Tiffany Trump, 27, and posted this photo of them together enjoying the Miami sunset. Tiffany got her law degree from Georgetown U, and she and her fiancee Michael Boulos recently moved to Miami (to be near the rest of her family?) Boulos grew up in Nigeria where his father is a mega-millionaire with multiple businesses. It’s easy to see why Donald Trump fell for the beautiful Marla Maples (they divorced in 1999 and she got NO alimony!) and rather surprising that SHE is still single…

BEN AFFLECK ACTS LIKE HE OWNS THE PLACE

Whoa! SOMEBODY is looking mighty relaxed and comfortable and right at home on Jennifer Lopez’s balcony in Miami! Of course, that SOMEBODY is Ben Affleck. She probably wore him out at the gym today. He hasn’t been working out regularly for awhile and it’s not easy keeping up with J.Lo. Ben is sprawled outside smoking a cigarette and enjoying a cold drink. If this second-time-around relationship lasts awhile, we’re betting health conscious Jennifer will find a way to get Ben to stop smoking…

J.LO AND ALEX SPLIT: REAL ESTATE TELLS THE STORY

SOMETHING has been going on between Jennifer Lopez and her fiancee Alex Rodriguez for more than a few months. They were happy as clams last August when the couple paid 32.5 million dollars for a 14,000 sq ft Miami mansion with 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. And their blended family of four kids (two each) were thrilled also. The children have grown up with each other for the past four years. Unfortunately, in August, the deal fell thru and the house went to someone else. Why did they change their minds? It’s possible that coronavirus isolation contributed the the demise of this fairy-tale romance. Certainly the children are heartbroken- they are going to miss all that fun in the sun together…

CINDY CRAWFORD AND RANDE WILL RELAX IN ITALIAN SPLENDOR IN MIAMI

Sometimes it’s so relaxing to lose yourself looking at luxurious real estate. Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber just purchased a 3 million dollar condo penthouse in the brand-new ultra-exclusive Ritz-Carlton Residences in Miami. The huge complex was designed by Italian modern architect Peiro Lissoni, and it really looks dreamy. In the last two months, the complex has sold over 130 million dollars worth of the building. It features every imaginable extra – including a 1/2 acre pool deck with private cabanas, a yoga-meditation studio, and not only do they welcome pets, but the building offers pet grooming. You get a lot more for your money in Miami than you do in LA!

DON JOHNSON WANTS YOU TO READ HIS T-SHIRT

Knives Out star Don Johnson was a major fashion influence on Miami Vice in the 80’s and he hopes to influence you to vote this year. Don’s character on the show, Sonny Crockett, wore pastel linen suits (sleeves pushed up) with t-shirts and no socks. He also popularized “designer stubble” and Rolex watches. Director Michael Mann made Miami look glamorous and cool. In fact, after Miami Vice ended, the city of Miami blossomed and became THE place to party and vacation. Don, now 70, and looking good, has simplified his wardrobe and gets right to the point these days…

BAD BOYS BAD BOYS, WHATCHA GONNA DO?

It’s been almost 25 years since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence played hip young Miami cops in the first Bad Boys action comedy movie, and it was a box office bonanza. They managed to pull together a Bad Boys II in 2006, and it was an even BIGGER hit. A third film in the franchise percolated around Hollywood for 13 years before it came together and Bad Boys For Life is now filming in Miami with Will and Martin and two new acclaimed directors from Belgium. Martin and Will are now old-school cops in their 50’s (but just as funny) and they are called in to work on a drug case with hotshot young detectives. What could possibly go wrong?

JANET JACKSON: TIME TO TRADE THAT BLACK SHROUD FOR A SUNDRESS!

Janet Jackson timed her State of the World Tour just right – she’s spending time between concerts in sunny Miami with her little boy Eissa al Mana, who’s almost a year old. She is NOT back together with her ex-boyfriend Jermaine Dupri as rumored – they are simply friends. It looks like Janet did convert to Islam because every time we see her she’s wearing black and is covered from head to toe IN MIAMI. Time to put that behind her…

JONAH HILL USES HIS BEST ASSET IN MIAMI

It’s tough to be in Miami – the land of beautiful bodies- when you’re not in the best of shape. Jonah Hill is filming “Arms and the Dudes” there with Miles Teller and he’s packed on more than a few pounds lately. But he still manages to flirt. Jonah showed up in the hotel pool in a black t-shirt and turned on the charm for two bikini girls. They found his jokes hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing. (A sense of humor is always appealing.) It’s a good beginning.
