Marc Anthony will never go thirsty now that Bacardi has honored him as the AmericanAirlines Arena #1 Concert Artist of all time, having sold out 10 shows, 125,000 tickets and more than $9.3 million in ticket sales. Grand prize? His own personal barrel of specially blended Bacardi rum. This exclusive barrel, which consists of a blend of Bacardi rums aged between 10 and 16 years, will be kept at the Bacardi distillery in Puerto Rico. It will be cared for and maintained by the Bacardi Maestro de Ron and hand-bottled and sent to Anthony at his request.

Meanwhile, Anthony and Jennifer Lopez took up residence at Viceroy while in town for a duet of performances (Anthony at AAA, Lopez at LIV). Lopez met with local designer Tui Pranich to talk about decorating the couple's new Dolphins game-day crash pad at Icon Brickell and also managed to enjoy spa time. Also at Viceroy, Dancing with the Stars alum Lance Bass dancing to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi and drinking Atlantico Rum daiquiris at the Club 50 rooftop lounge, while model/actress Molly Simms dined at the 15th floor restaurant Eos.

Seen at Cafe Martorano: On-again couple Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush on the eve of the New Orleans Saints/Miami Dolphins game. They ate. A lot: meatballs, calamari, grilled hot dogs, shrimp scampi and lobster.

Ocean Drive magazine's Jason Binn will host a 60th birthday party for music mogul David Foster at Bancroft Supperclub on Saturday.

South Florida student Beatriz Lopez will represent Miami International University of Art & Design as one of 16 chosen to compete in The Humane Society of the United States' fifth annual Cool vs. Cruel fashion design competition.

Congrats to clubland's Gerry Kelly, who has left Karu & Y and will take over Gulfstream Park's second-floor venue, MI-VI. ``While plans are still in the works, one of the things I'm looking forward to doing at Gulfstream is a concert series with major acts,'' Kelly said. And while they expect celebs, Kelly is adamant in taking care of his regular guests. ``Celebrities come and go, but the regulars are our steady clientele,'' he said.

Renowned local interior designer Michael Wolk of Michael Wolk Design Associates -- whose Neo-Modern-style furniture designs have been featured in movies such as Batman Returns, Inspector Gadget and John Travolta's early '90s Chains of Gold -- will have his latest furniture pieces from the Addison Collection of Campbell Contract Furniture featured in the new CBS show The Good Wife, starring Julianna Margulies.
