For Sale: Lady Liberty, Torch Sold Separately

NYC is considering selling the MTA to a private company due to a budget crisis -- but it's a slippery slope from there. So we asked Mayor Bloomberg what else might be on the auction block.

8. I know the above say's to keep comments relevant, however i thought you may want to know Selina Gomez was on the Mike & Juliet morning show in New York just about 30 minutes ago. She still claims theres no feud between her and Miley Cirus, and that they are best of friends. Idk what to say to that. When asked if she has a bf she replied no, however she did say she has her occasional crushes and so forth. Hope this info helps Harvey/ TMZ staff :P

11. It's not Bloomberg's fault that the City is shot, budget-wise.

It's our hooker-loving ex-Governor that ran the whole state into the ground.

The City couldn't be any much better - crime is way down and it's cleaner than ever here.
