VIDEO of how the Downtown Miami Skyline will look like in a few years…



 Its crazy how the Miami skyline in the 80’s is so unrecognizable to what it is now in 2015. Things have exploded in Miami over the last 30 years or so. And now, within 10 years, Miami will again be a completely different monster in its Downtown and Brickell areas. By the video above, you’ll be able to see how the skyline is projected to transform over the next few years with projects in the Overtown area, Brickell and even Watson Island. You can even see the “hideous” Sky Rise and where its projected to tower over the city.

Has Lil Wayne worked out his issues with Cash Money Records?
Two months after reports said he was planning to file a $51 million lawsuit against Cash Money Records and its co-founder Birdman, word is he's dropped the suit.
According to theJasmineBRAND.com, Weezy filed legal documents on Monday (April 6) to "voluntarily dismiss" his lawsuit against the label.

Despite the report, Karen Civil -- who's had a close relationship with the Young Money camp -- says the lawsuit has not been dropped, but simply "moved to New Orleans."

A suspect named Shezoy Bleary was in custody this morning, says authorities, though charges were pending.
31-year-old Copeland was stabbed in the left elbow and abdomen, while his wife Katrine Saltara, was slashed in the arm and across the breast. A second woman, who was believed to be with the attacker, was slashed in the abdomen. All the victims were hospitalized and are in stable condition.

Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose has been out since late February, after undergoing knee surgery, but will finally return on Wednesday night (April 8), when the Bulls take on the Magic.
 
The star point guard says he's been working hard and happy to finally get back on the court.
"I've been putting a lot of work in, busting my ass to get back and I'm just happy that I'm able to come back to a team where I think we're playing all right basketball," Rose said. "I think defensively we're playing good, so offensively I shouldn't have to worry about it, just come back and play the way that I normally play."
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says Rose would not play a lot of minutes in his return and isn't expected to carry a heavy offensive burden. However, just being on the court, will give the team a big boost.

Serena Williams wins eighth Miami Open :::: #Tennis

It took less than an hour for the world’s No. 1 ranked tennis player Serena Williams to beat No. 12 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain to win her eighth Miami Open on Saturday. Williams won the last 10 games in the 56-minute match, and aced on 20 of the 21 first serves she landed to win 6-2, 6-0.
“I improvised today,” she said (via ESPN) after the match. “I took some pace off to get my first serve in and it worked for me, because I haven’t been serving in this tournament the way I would like to. Improvising was healthy.”
And effective. Williams’s win Saturday ensures that she’ll remain at the top of WTA’s ranking for at least 116 weeks, the third-longest run ever, BBC reports.
Williams also became one of just four women to win the same WTA tournament eight times or more. Chris Evert did it at Hilton Head, Steffi Graf recorded eight wins in the German Open, and Martina Navratilova won eight times or mare at a whopping seven different events.
Williams has now racked up 702 WTA wins, but she probably won’t celebrate with a cake on Saturday. She already did that Wednesday when she won her 700th match, and, oh, what a cake it was.
“Wow 700 wins! I still can’t believe it. Thanks for all the love and support,” Williams captured the Instagram photo she posted after winning her Miami Open quarterfinal match, 7-6 (4), 1-6, 6-3, against Sabine Lisicki.
