The Dirt Miami

Where do you turn for sassy gossip about South Beach celebrities, besides Joan Fleischman's twice-weekly 4A column in The Miami Herald? Why, The Dirt Miami, where else? Unlike Fleischman, who can't use words such as heirhole to describe Paris Hilton, The Dirt dishes its tell-all copy with the snide impudence of a scorned lover who has a score to settle. The Web page consists of The Dirt Top 10, a weekly compendium of hotness, and a series of spy reports that usually has six degrees of separation from Hilton. A report on Hilton lip-synching her new album during a soiree at Suite included the following: "The fun continued when the crew hit the DJ booth with DJ Vice and [Brandon] Davis began shouting 'Fire Crotch' (the nickname [Hilton's] crew has given Lindsay Lohan for her Ronald McDonald-like bush) into the microphone to the beat of a song that our crackhead source swears says 'Fire Crotch,' as well. Is that a new Scott Storch hit in the making?" The Dirt included the new planets Ceres, Charon and Xena on its Top 10 list in August, summing up the inclusion on the list and its mission with, "Welcome, guys. We have a few locals we want to send your way!"
