Urgent! Urgent! Too bad the center of attraction was not available for comment; nor is any historical perspective provided on how previous title-holders may have thrown their caps over the windmill, as the Dutch say when somebody goes on a tear.

Junk "news" about non-events. And what terrific anonymous sources: "Trump's office said," "scenesters told the news," "one nightlife veteran said" -- if you can't trust these folks, who can you trust? This piece flirts with self-parody; it could just as easily have appeared in The Onion.
