\"Spears.jog\"<\/a>Strip gyp<\/strong>: What does $25,000 buy you? At Planet Hollywood<\/strong> it will get you one-twentieth of a minute with Britney F. Spears<\/strong><\/a>. Either the currency of celebrity has become inflated beyond measure<\/a> or our 15 minutes of fame have shrunk to 00:03. Besides, paying to meet your idol is probably a setup to disappointment.<\/p>\n

Small is beautiful<\/strong>. Even supporters of New York State<\/strong> casinos say they don’t want Vegas-style product.

He seems like the person you or I would like to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
