Star Magazine claims that popstars Rihanna and Chris Brown were secretly married during their Miami reunion at Sean "Diddy" Combs' estate. To the shock of many, Rihanna reunited with Chris Brown over the weekend — but they did more than that! we report that the couple had a tearful face-to-face meeting at Diddy's $14.5 million Miami mansion, during which an emotional Chris apologized, begged for forgiveness and proposed to her on the spot.
"All she's ever wanted was to be with him forever," a source tells Star. "Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, 'I can't live without you.'"
The pair wasted no time making Rihanna's fairy tale come true. They even called a minister to the mansion on exclusive Star Island! source

Lil Jon & Tha Eastside Boys perform live in this clip with Lil Scrappy & Pitbull for the first time onstage together in Fort Lauderdale, Florida during the 2003 Source Magazine Awards weekend in Miami Beach. Their stage show is Dirty South metts Latin Hip Hop at it's KRUNKIEST!! Lil Jon shows & proves that a party ain't a party til' you bring out a midget stripper to "Shake it like a salt-shaker" & "Drop it like it's hot" to turn the party out!
But then ther's more; I can't forget about the "Booty-Cam" juming into the crowd to get plenty of "titties jigglin' & asses wigglin'"! I'm talking about a "bra-bustin', Bootylicious-Badunka-Dunks Bouncing like Beyonce on a Basketball court" Butts!!! It gets no Funkier than this! And uh, the men couldn't keep their hands off the tushes...
Last but not least is what happens after the show. I thought I was walking into an old fashioned Car-hop Doo-Doo brown jump off contest, turned out to be a "Bitch-fight" that ends with gunshots poppin' off like fireworks at a Chinese New Year celebration. Instead of "Gung Hay Fat Choy", it was more like duck down fast boy!!
This joint was so sizzlin' we decided to run it through one of our sister channels called Rapwars.tv. Regardless, it gets no KRUNKIER than this. So enjoy the flick, enjoy the footage, and most of all you may learn something new about public responsibility and keeping Hip Hop alive instead of killing the vibes before killing each other
Are we gonna bust a gun or bust a nut?

58.5% speak Spanish; some English speakers feel marginalized
Melissa Green arranges flowers at her store in Miami The flower shop owner and Miami native says her inability to speak Spanish makes it difficult to conduct business in the city.
MIAMI - Melissa Green's mother spoke Spanish, but she never learned — her father forbid it. Today, that's a frequent problem in this city where the English-speaking population is outnumbered.
The 49-year-old flower shop owner and Miami native said her inability to speak "espanol" makes it difficult to conduct business, seek help at stores and even ask directions. She finds it "frustrating."
"It makes it hard for some people to find a job because they don't speak Spanish, and I don't think that it is right," said Green, who sometimes calls a Spanish-speaking friend to translate for customers who don't speak English.Somemetimes I think they should learn it," she said. In many areas of Miami, Spanish has become the predominant language, replacing English in everyday life. Anyone from Latin America could feel at home on the streets, without having to pronounce a single word in English.
In stores, shopkeepers wait on their clients in Spanish. Universities offer programs for Spanish speakers. And in supermarkets, banks, restaurants — even at the post office and government offices — information is given and assistance is offered in Spanish. In Miami, doctors and nurses speak Spanish with their patients and a large portion of advertising is in Spanish. Daily newspapers and radio and television stations cater to the Hispanic public.
‘The Anglo population is leaving’
But
this situation, so pleasing to Latin American immigrants, makes some
English speakers feel marginalized. In the 1950s, it's estimated that
more than 80 percent of Miami-Dade County residents were non-Hispanic
whites. But in 2006, the Census Bureau estimates that number was only
18.5 percent, and in 2015 it is forecast to be 14 percent. Hispanics
now make up about 60 percent.
"The Anglo population is leaving," said Juan Clark, a sociology professor at Miami Dade College. "One of the reactions is to emigrate toward the north. They resent the fact that (an American) has to learn Spanish in order to have advantages to work. If one doesn't speak Spanish, it's a disadvantage."
According to the Census, 58.5 percent of the county's 2.4 million residents speak Spanish — and half of those say they don't speak English well. English-only speakers make up 27.2 percent of the county's residents.
In the mainly Cuban city of Hialeah and in the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana, 94 percent of residents identified themselves as Hispanic.
Andrew Lynch, an expert on linguistics and bilingualism at the University of Miami, said that the presence of Spanish-speakers first became an issue in Miami-Dade County in the 1960s and '70s with the arrival of Cuban immigrants and intensified in the '80s with immigrants from not just Cuba, but Argentina, Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America. The exodus of English speakers soon followed.

Difficulties for both sides
James
McCleary, his wife and two children left Miami in 1987 for Vermont,
where he is now a farmer. McCleary, 58, said his inability to speak
Spanish made it difficult for him to find work — it once took seven
months to get hired as a cook.
"The job market was very tough. It was very, very difficult," he said.
His wife, Lauren, was born and raised in Miami and they visit at least twice a year, but she feels that it's no longer her hometown.
"I don't like being there anymore. It is very, very different," she said. "I cannot live there anymore, I can't speak their language."
Nevertheless, she likes the diversity of the population of South Florida and regrets not learning Spanish in school.
Librarian Martha Phillips, 61, believes those who speak Spanish will continue to have more opportunities and she doesn't think that's necessarily fair. Phillips said she is sorry to see non-Spanish-speakers abandoning Miami, and said she's concerned that the area "will be like a branch of Latin America."
"I do resent the fact that people seem to expect that the people who live here adjust to their ways, rather than learning English and making adjustments," she said. "Obviously I don't expect an older person to learn to speak English, but younger people come in and they don't seem to make much of an effort to learn to adapt to this country and they expect us to adapt to them."
Some Spanish speakers say they have their own trouble with those who only speak English.
Mary Bravo, a 37-year-old Venezuelan business owner, moved to Miami nine years ago. She understands English but only speaks a little.
"This land is theirs. We should try to speak English," she said, "but they don't even try to understand us."

Paris Hilton arrived in Miami, Florida to promote her new scent, Can Can, and decided to check out the Mansion Party in South Beach. The jetsetting heiress has been all about the globe recently, exciting fans everywhere.
Hilt on recently refuted claims that she was in India on an elephant-saving mission, which British tabloid, The Daily Star, erroneously reported. In this latest fabrication, Paris is quoted to have said she was disturbed by a large group of elephants becoming electrocuted after drinking a local alcoholic beverage, rice-beer.
Hilto n told Ellen Degeneres on her show, "I read that and I was like, `How would an elephant get alcohol in the first place? Why would I talk about that? Why would I care if an elephant got drunk? Can an elephant get drunk?' I've never talked about that in my life. I didn't even know an elephant could get drunk."
Paris Hilton is no stranger to tabloid journalism taking a jab at her. "They always put words in my mouth all over the press all the time. I just laugh at them now. It's literally comedy every morning; we wake up reading these stories... My friends will send them on a BlackBerry to me and we'll just laugh."
