Barbie DreamFest in Fort Lauderdale is going viral...but not in a good way. Fans paid up to 400 bucks expecting a pink paradise -- and got what people are calling “Barbie Nightmare Fest.” Think cardboard Dreamhouse, a roller rink the size of your driveway, and a VIP swag bag that was basically...hand sanitizer. Organizers now promising refunds -- and maybe a Ken-did apology.

Miami Marlins off to a perfect start! 3-0 after sweeping the Colorado Rockies! Owen Caissie hit a walk off homer, so maybe it’s 3 and Owen! You know when they did that before? 1997. Yep, the year they went to the World Series. So no pressure. (BTW, if you like ballpark food, try the Marlins’ Machete!)

Miami Heat lose an ugly one to Indiana 135-118. Florida Panthers fall to the Ranger 3-1.

Cassettes are trendy again, so Maxell is bringing back its classic personal tape play. Even better: They’ve added modern features like Bluetooth and USB-C charging. (And they did NOT nix the headphone jack. Yay!) I love this because I miss rewinding a song with a pencil...but now you can do it wirelessly haha!
