Apparently she's lived in the US before, after she married her first husband, who was also American, as this second husband is too. . . .

Fingers crossed she stays in NYC, but if she thinks she'll get a famous profile in USA I think she's got another thing coming. A lot of Brits make that mistake.

Hmm drug issues, might need a waiver for that.

Yes, I wondered about that. She seems to have been very open about the whole topic. . . .

Drug issues are not a waiver but rather (with one exception) a brick wall for immigrant visas. Of course, I don't believe she was prosecuted so there might not be a problem. Although if she talked about pushing them rather than consuming them, mere suspicion is enough to hit the wall.

Some people have "special friends" is "special places" don't they? Why would she make such a song and dance about moving to NYC if she didn't already have it in the bag?

Maybe she'll just turn up at the airport expecting to be a US citizen as she is married to an American

One exception? Who was that?

I see she's a (now) former MP. What other claim to fame does she have?

Not much really. She's from a family of stockbrokers and artists according to Wiki, and the end result of the Oxbridge sausage factory. Wrote some appalling chicklit, somehow wound up in Parliament thanks to the Tories' desire to be more inclusive of women. Along the way she seems to have made sure she is always married to an American.
