Country's first 'robot sex brothel' set to open in Texas prompts backlash: report
The first so-called 'robot sex brothel' in the U.S. slated to open in the Houston area this month has prompted a massive backlash from residents and activists who say it will ruin the neighborhood. The company opened its first location last year near Toronto, where $60 buys a half-hour alone with a robot sex doll, according to the Washington Examiner. The dolls start at $2,500 to buy.
Update: Houston officials halt plans to open first US 'robot brothel'
Houston city officials have ordered at least a temporary halt to a Canadian company's plan to open a so-called "robot brothel" in the city. The Houston Chronicle reported that building inspectors ordered the halt after determining that the company, Kinky S Dolls, lacked the permits required for demolition and construction at a former 2,500 sq ft hair salon in the Galleria area of the city.

Well, you know, the bottom line is: marry a rich guy and have a big check written.
My family is generally happily married, so I'm not one that loves the concept of divorce. In fact, just the opposite. I hate the concept of divorce. I hate everything it represents.
There's nothing really nice about it. But in our world, with the long courts and with the vicious lawyers, and with all of the problems, if you have money or if you think you're going to have money, you have to have a prenuptial agreement. Today you have to have a pre-nup. It’s a hard, painful, ugly tool. But there comes a time when you have to say, "darling, I think you’re MAGNIFICENT, we're gonna live our lives together forever, and I care for you deeply, and by the way, sign this sucker or we're not getting married, right? If things don’t work out, this is what you’re going to get." I'm a big pre-nup believer. Even though they're nasty, terrible documents. I mean, I'm a big believer in that stuff. You pay a little up front for the lawyer. And the accountant. But you save TREMENDOUSLY on the back end.
