It’s sexy calendar season! A day after the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders, firefighters from Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties unveiled their calendar, which includes 20 beefed up, mostly shirtless guys.

The party, at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort in Hollywood, lured several hundred women who hooted and hollered as the boys strutted their stuff and signed their works of art. (Click here for all the photos)

Since 1992, the calendars raised more than $240,000 for diverse charities. The $17, 2011 edition will raise cash for Here’s Help, a group that provides treatment for teenagers with substance abuse problems, and A Safe Haven for Newborn, which works to prevent the abandonment of children.

I only spoke with New York Yankees great Joe DiMaggio twice, but I’m pretty sure the crusty old guy wouldn’t have approved!

Still, the 15th Annual South Florida Tattoo Expo was expected to raise more than $50,000 for Hollywood’s Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.

Franklin, Tuesday night at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood (click on the photo for SoFla concerts)

Aretha Franklin shocked concertgoers Tuesday night at Hard Rock Live, on the grounds of Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Queen of Soul, who turns 68 next week, has been struggling with her weight for years. Two years ago, she slimmed down substantially, telling People magazine that weight issues had vanished during a treadmill workout regimen. But one observer at Tuesday’s performance who has seen Franklin in several concerts over the past decade said she’d never appeared this plus before.
