It’s that time of year.

The Dolphins are in pre-season mode, and their cheerleaders are basking in the limelight.

The dancers unveiled their 2011 swimsuit calendar last night at LIV nightclub in Miami Beach during a party that included the squad starring in a swimsuit fashion show. (Click here for all the photos)

If you like Mike Jachles’ photos of the event, then there’s a chance you’ll like the calendar — with pictures of the hotties shot at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The calendars are selling for $14.99, at www.miamidolphins.com.

There’s new blood on the Miami Dolphins cheerleading squad — and the hottie’s from the TCoast.

Brianne Herndon,18, an ex-honor student from John Carroll High School in Fort Pierce, just went from die-hard Dol-fan to leggy SunLife Stadium sideline eye candy.

So, why did a freshly graduated Catholic schoolgirl want to end up on an NFL cheerleading squad?

“Well, ever since I was little, I always wanted to try out for the Miami Dolphins,” Herndon tells Page2Live’s Sheli Muniz. “It feels awesome . . . like a dream come true.”

Port St. Lucie resident Herndon, who’s been training for the Dolphins tryouts since January, was picked from among more than 600 wannabes, said the Fins’ cheerleading boss, Emily Newton.  Herndon and 76 other hopefuls made it to the final cuts over the weekend. And 42 made the squad after strutting their stuff in front of shoppers and DWTS-style judges at the Aventura Mall.

Former two-term Prez Bill Clinton didn’t do only what he does best — that’s talking (here at the University of Miami) — while in SoFla this weekend.

He was all over the place!

On Saturday night, he attended a Haiti fund-raiser at LIV, the Fontainebleau Resort nightclub that was, until recently, planning to have Nazi garb-loving mistress and Sandra Bullock love rival Michelle McGee host a party.

And the Miami Herald today reports that the usually scantily-clad waitresses at the Miami Beach club were told to cover up for the former Horned-Dog-in-Chief. And to make double sure he wouldn’t come in contact with any of the vixens, only Clinton’s personal staffers were allowed to serve him. No booze. Just water and diet Coke!

Finally, Clinton spent part of Sunday in Homestead, where he and local athletes — including UM QB Jacory Harris and Miami Dolphins receiver Greg Camarillo — helped with construction on a transistional-housing complex for the homeless.

Jones

Was it the booze? The anesthesia from more plastic surgery? Obviously in an altered state, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones badmouthed Florida’s golden child Tim Tebow, Miami Dolphins VP Bill Parcells and even his own quarterback, Tony Romo, in some low-quality cell phone video recently shot in a Dallas bar.

– On whether he’d draft Tebow: “Why? He’d never get on the field!”

– On Parcells: “Bill’s not worth a sh–!” Jones went on to say he lured Parcells to the Cowboys to help get funding for the team’s brand new stadium.

– On Romo: “He almost never got in (on the team), and he almost was gone!”

See the damage, and be ready for some NSFW language:

The hush-hush $25.6 million-sale this week of South Florida billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga’s private playground, the Florida Golf & Yacht Club, will have some consequences for the 200 or so friends and family members to whom Huizenga distributed free yearly memberships for the past decade.

Now, they’ll have to pay to remain members.

Well, pay a little!

The Floridian's clubhouse and marina

In a letter to Huizenga’s friends — including Palm Beach radio star Rush Limbaugh, former General Electric boss Jack Welch, actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Miami Dolphins VP Bill Parcells and others — the new owner invited current members to join for a $25,000 initiation fee, plus $12,000 in annual dues.

The new guy is Houston transportation and logistics magnate Jim Crane.

The Floridian Golf & Yacht Club, billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga’s private Palm City golf club, was quietly sold earlier this week, according to real estate records.

Price: $25.6 million.

Huizenga originally bought the property, which straddles the Martin-St. Lucie counties line,  in 1996 for $750,000, according to St. Lucie County records.

He built a world-class clubhouse, guest cottages, deep water docks on the St. Lucie River and a 300-acre golf course designed by legendary designer Gary Player. Huizenga didn’t respond to a request for comment, but he claimed in a Business Week interview that he sunk $75 million into the place.

Miami Dolphins minority owner Huizenga, who’s from Fort Lauderdale, was often spotted flying in and out of The Floridian in his green helicopters. He entertained mostly friends and family members on the grounds, at times with lavish fireworks.

Huizenga also gave out about 200 memberships, to celebrities like Conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh, actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, NFL players and officials like Dolphins VP Bill Parcells. He allowed golf pros like Jesper Parnevick and Nick Price to hone their skills on the property, which had become one of the Treasure Coast’s choicest.

In winter, Huizenga often hosted charity functions at the clubhouse that were usually attended by Stuart swells.

Former Beatles Paul McCartney’s tour, Up and Coming, took a turn south Saturday night for the Brit icon’s only appearance in South Florida. McCartney played for nearly three hours to a sold out Sun Life Stadium near Miami. He fit in more than 20 classic Beatles songs (Yesterday, Long and Winding Road, Let it Be, and more) as well as tunes from Wings, his old band with his late wife Linda. Hard to believe: the guy’s 67 and sounds 30 years younger! Click here or on the photo for more:

Jenny from Vero may not be as catchy as Jenny from the Block, but the Vero part could come true.

Bootyful Latin diva Jennifer Lopez and her salsero hubby, Marc Anthony, share time between Los Angeles, New York and Miami. But now they’re looking for a beachfront weekend home on the Treasure Coast.

La Lopez and her little guy are particularly interested in the north side of Orchid Island, a barrier island near Vero Beach. She has concentrated her search in the area where Miami sound moguls Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s $1.5 million crib in the dunes.

Palm Beacher Jimmy Buffett suddenly bleeds New Orleans Saints black and gold. Buffett, who made a commercial deal with the Miami Dolphins last year when the stadium was renamed yet again after his Land Shark beer, just posted this picture on his Facebook site. That’s Jimmy with daughter Savannah and the Saints’ Lombardi Trophy. Buffett, by the way, is the guy the Dolphins trusted to rewrite the team’s fight song. So, what gives?

Ricky and friend (Courtesy Sports Illustrated)

Isn’t it fitting that, of all people, Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams would host a “tribute to freedom” party during Super Bowl week?

Williams, after all, longed to be free to do things like smoke pot, something that kept him out of the league for two seasons.

But now, the freedom that Williams celebrates is the type offered by the U.S. Constitution and the military.

“Ricky has been very generous in lending his name and support for the party,” said Rodney Smith, founder of the San Diego-based Helping Hands for Freedom. The non-profit helps military families left behind by soldiers gone to war. “This cause resonates with Ricky.”

Williams’ wingding kicks off at 9 p.m. at club Passion, at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort in Hollywood. Smith says pre-sales have been slow, with just 180 tickets sold. Prices vary between $60 and $250.

“Hopefully, it’ll pick up today,” Smith said.
