Keeping it real!

La Gloriosa Miz Estefan had a concert in Locarno, Switzerland, this weekend - in very very heavy rain!

Rain or shine, though, the show must go on. And, not only that, Estefan herself brought out a mop during one of the first songs and she began to wipe the stage as the rain poured down - all while still singing!

Love her!

Cuban royalty!

Gloria Estefan, Andy Garcia, and Emilio Estefan assembled at a party to celebrate Pulitzer Prize-winning author Liz Balmaseda in Miami on Wednesday night.

When the sun is setting in the sky, everybody knows it's party time!

We wish we could have been there!

P.S. Yes, that's Stephen Bauer in the background.

Who else grew up watching and LOVING ¿Qué Pasa, USA???????

She's got her own football team now!

Gloria and Emilio Estefan will be announced as Miami Dolphins minority owners on Thursday.

The announcement will come via Dolphins majority owner Stephen Ross in a bid to garner interest in the growing Hispanic market. Ross has also been trying to associate the team with a more "show-business" flair.

Well, we think Gloria Estefan fits the bill perfectly!

Sounds like a match made in heaven!

Kathy Griffin was spotted in our hometown of Miami on Thursday afternoon, filming scenes for the upcoming season of her "reality" show, My Life On The D-List.

And she had Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan in tow!

The three ladies cruised around Miami Beach in a convertible chauffeured by O'Donnell and grabbed a bite to eat for the cameras.

Looking for attention much????

Kathy must have been LOVING it!

What a wild seven days it's been!

From Los Angeles to New Orleans to Atlanta to Miami and back to El Lay, we've earned a bunch of frequent flyer miles this past week.

We got to hang with some of our favoritest people - Gloria & Emilio, GaGa, Dita and the Dolls - and we had soooooo much fun along the way!

Weeks like this last one don't come often! It was truly special.

We love us some Gloria Estefan! Duh.

The first woman ever to be named Person of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards has announced some sad news.

The Cuban icon's upcoming Latin American tour will be her last!

On Monday, Gloria said "It is an end to something that began many years ago, in 1975, and it is a dream to be able to do it in Latin America. These will be the last concerts I do, after I want to focus on my daughter, who is going to high school and continue working in other areas. We have eight restaurants, three hotels; I am working on a third book and on films."

As for any of you fans lucky enough to catch her farewell concert, Gloria's tour starts on April 9th in Uruguay and goes though April 23rd, when she ends in Ecuador.

She did say that some dates might be added in a few other Central American countries. We'd go to Mexico City!

Can't wait to see what she has in store for this tour!

And, just because she's no longer "touring" - that doesn't mean she can't set up extended residencies in Las Vegas and the like. Hint! Hint!

Gloria Estefan was named Person of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards on Thursday night.

The Cuban icon is the first woman ever to be given that honor!

And, as if that wasn't enough, our hometown hero also notched wins for Best Traditional Tropical Album and Tropical Song for 90 Millas and Píntame De Colores, respectively.

All very well deserved!

Congratulations, Gloria.

You continue to make Miami proud!
