Mar 10, 2014 | Contributor: Courtney DriverSouth Florida is known for many things, included among them being a very nice place to call home. Pleasant weather, a vibrant environment and quick flights to New England up north and the Caribbean down south, make the region attractive to pretty much everyone in North America. It’s no surprise that the real estate market is booming, but what may surprise you is the woman who is the powerhouse behind over 250 million dollars worth of the sales. ... Read More | 
Feb 29, 2016 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThere are many reasons we watch the Oscars, from the tearful acceptance speeches to the gorgeous red carpet looks and painfully awkward moments. But this year was all about whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio was finally going to win one of the coveted golden statues. Well, congratulations, Leo!

Feb 3, 2016 | Contributor: Todd JatrasTowards the end of a recent marathon viewing session Breaking Bad, I began to seriously worry for my life after Walter White (the character that earned Bryan Cranston four Emmys).

Feb 1, 2016 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThis year is huge for book adaptations, with several critically-applauded stories being released onto the big screen.

Jan 29, 2016 | Contributor: Todd JatrasThe London Art Fair (January 20-24) took place this past weekend and visitors were greeted at the entrance with Infiniti’s QX30 art car by British wire sculptor Rachel Ducker.

So far, nothing has happened to the comedian other than a lot of side-eye and finger pointing, but other artists haven’t fared so well in the past. ... Read More | 
Jan 14, 2016 | Contributor: Mila PantovichLast year the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite was started by April Reign in response to the Academy’s dismissal of great performances from black actors and unfortunately, it’s trending again.

Jan 21, 2016 | Contributor: Mila PantovichSharks may be presented as terrifying creatures, but photographer Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that they're not all that bad. In an effort to encourage the protection of sharks, he found a model willing to dive into toothy waters for a photoshoot that helps break stereotypes and promote his ongoing petition for shark sanctuaries titled Support a No Shark and Ray Kill Policy & the Creation of a Malaysian Shark Sanctuary. ...

Actor Alan Rickman died this morning at age 69, leaving behind him a long list of beloved roles that include Professor Snape, Sheriff George of Nottingham, Colonel Brandon and Hans Gruber.
