Los Van Van are Coming to Town Los Van Van, a Cuban dance band known for being the first Cuban group to use synthesizers and drum machines in their music, will perform in Miami for the first time since 3,500 Cuban exiles rioted outside of their Miami Arena show in 1999. Protestors spit at the band, yelled obscenities and threw bottles, rocks and eggs. More than 50 Miami police officers emerged in riot gear to control the chaos and five people were arrested. The band is responsible for creating a new genre called "songo" - a combination of disco, soul, go-go music and Cuban son. Los Van Van won a Grammy for best salsa performance in 1999. They will perform at the James L. Knight Center on January 31st. You can buy tickets online at Ticketmaster.com. Chris Brown at Club Play Chris Brown performed at Club Play Friday night. He came with some of his closest friends and fans, Young Jeezy, Selita Ebanks, Bow Wow, Michael Beasley, Cool 'n' Dre, Mario Chalmers, DJ Clue, Antoine Walker, Stephen Jackson and Quincy Combs, Diddy's 19-year-old son.
Lady Gaga at Score After her Concert Lady Gaga performed a fantastic show from her Monster Ball tour at the James L. Knight Center on Saturday night. After the show, she tweeted "Hmmmm...I wonder if I'll score tonight." Apparently, that was her subtle way of mentioning that she was going to Score, the gay bar on Lincoln Road, with her buddy Perez Hilton. She sang a little to juice up the crowd up. She hung out upstairs in the VIP room, making appearances at the balcony. No one, including employees, was allowed up. However, celebrity drag queen Elaine Lancaster introduced Gaga to the crowd and stayed to hang out.

The Siegal Medical Group, the practice of Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, and Dr. Sanford Siegal claim that Kardashian had a "commercial motive" for the attack because she is a spokesperson for a competitor weight-loss program, QuickTrim.
