Turns out “former” call girl Ashley Alexander Dupre isn’t quite done whoring herself out yet. In the latest issue of People, Ashley gives her first interview about being ensnared in the FBI investigation that led to the resignation of her frequent client New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. (Bikini photos added for journalistic emphasis.):

On the real Ashley:
“I am a normal girl. Everyone knows me as ‘that girl,’ but I’m not just ‘that girl.’ I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers.”

On not knowing who Eliot Spitzer was:
“Some guys, they want to have conversations and really get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that. It was more of a transaction. Strictly business. I was there for a purpose – not to wonder who [he] could be.”

On becoming a prostitute:
“This wasn’t any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them,” she reasoned. “The only difference is I can pay my rent.”

On how her mother found out:
Once the FBI told her they were looking into one of her clients, Dupré says she was forced to confide in her homemaker mother, Carolyn, that she was turning tricks.
“It was extremely painful for her,” Dupré says, though “my mother wasn’t angry. She was supportive.”

“This wasn’t any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them.” - Ashley Alexandra Dupre, hooker, poet, dream girl.

She had me at “I was there for a purpose.” *sigh*

Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s “fame” was built on the fact that she was a prostitute frequented by then-Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York. And, just as Ben Franklin envisioned it, politicians plus whores equals CHA-CHING! Her music career seemed to be taking off and million dollar offers were coming in to see her nude. But then, it turns out Ashley already got all kinds of naked for Joe Francis using a fake ID. Now, Ashley’s struggling to find a publicist willing to stretch out her 15 minutes of fame, according to NY Daily News:

The aspiring singer was looking for a power flak to help her cash in on her 15 minutes of infamy with New York’s luv gov. But she’d been getting the cold shoulder from all the big name firms.
She finally cut a deal with Susan Blond Public Relations, who also represent Usher and several New York City clubs and restaurants. The firm also used to work with PR nightmare Star Jones.

I gotta admit, I’m already bored with this chick. But, hey, you know, best of luck to Ashley. At least she found representation. Although I don’t know if they’re any good because I have no idea what the hell a “Star Jones” is. Some sort of Bavarian dessert? Seriously, I’m drawing a blank.

Governor Eliot Spitzer’s wife Silda supposedly knew about his relations with hookers such as Ashley Alexandra Dupre (above), according to a reliable source for Page Six:

Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told friends his wife was aware of his dalliances with hookers for years but looked the other way. “He said something like, ‘My [bleep]ing wife doesn’t care, so why does anybody else care?” our insider told us.

This site seems to have a marital theme today, but something about the Spitzer’s story is just downright touching you know? What a strong, beautiful foundation of love - based on hookers. These two should write a book on marriage. And call it something catchy like “Whores and Roast Beef.” Put me down for two copies. My folks’ll love it, those crazy Quakers.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s business is booming. But this time not in her pantalones. Donald Trump has made an offer to Ashley for her to appear on a new untitled reality show set to air on MTV, according to People:

Based on a British show called Ladette to Lady, the show will take a group of 15 hard-partying young women and send them off to a boarding school environment where they’ll learn to become more ladylike.
“She’s the perfect candidate,” the show insider says of Dupré, the 22-year-old at the center of the Gov. Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. The show has not yet heard back from Dupré with any reaction to the offer.

Only in America can a hooker that caused the demise of a powerful political figure become a reality TV star. Somewhere in the afterlife, Ben Franklin is plowing a chick in a Viking helmet with tears in his eyes. Our little country is everything he dreamed it could be - which almost makes up for the lack of gravy in heaven. They don’t tell you that part in the Bible. Jerks.

Since I have been giving a decent amount of coverage to Ashley Alexandra Dupre, it’s only fair that I report on Eliot Spitzer’s post-resignation offers. It looks like Playgirl is countering Ashley’s $1 million Hustler deal and wants the former governor to debrief (witty!) himself in a full nude photo shoot, according to their official blog:

Your political career is sadly over; and you owe a lot of money to a lot of people. Hell, you may land in jail before too long. So consider this letter a brief note of urgency.
How about making some loot back, by showing us what you saved for such a select few? How about strutting your sexuality, and defending your right to get down for the magazine and Playgirl.com?

Spitzer, old chum, I say do it. I did a shoot for Playgirl back in the day and those folks are nothing but professional. I mean, the way they called security when I showed up naked on a random set was top notch. Those guys really knew how to pry my steel grip from the stuffed polar bear I mounted in the scenery. I was going for a Grizzly Adams meets James Bond look. Unfortunately, it turned into more of a TASER beam meets testicle look. I pee sitting down now.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre not only got freaky for Gov. Spitzer, but during her week with Joe Francis and Girls Gone Wild, she was the wildest one of the bunch. She claimed to be a 21-year-old waitress named Amber and was so wild the Girls crew ditched her, according to the Palm Beach Post:

Amber hopped on a table in the middle of a hotel lobby crammed with frat boys, one producer told The Post, and launched into a raunchy strip-tease. That’s when the camera crew packed up and returned to their monster bus to leave town.
When asked by our reporter about the party, Amber said: “It got crazy. It was everything you thought it would be.
“It’s not stupid to do it (take off your clothes for GGW). It’s all fun and games.”

It should also be noted that Ashley was actually 17, and not 21, but since she didn’t engage in any sexual conduct her nudity is surprisingly permitted by the state of Florida. That being said, had Ashley been Joe Francis’ cousin, sex would’ve been permitted under the Unspoken Law of the South provided Joe paid the customary fine of saying Dale Earnhardt was Jesus on wheels.

Surprise! Ashley Alexandra Dupre already flashed her boobs for Girls Gone Wild back in 2003. A prostitute got naked for Joe Franics? What are the odds? The AP reports:

“It’ll save me a million bucks,” Francis told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch.”
He said his employees got to work on pulling the footage and planned to offer it on the Web site by Tuesday evening, with a free sampling on the front page and the rest available with a $29.95 monthly subscription.

Uh oh, no million bucks for Ashley. Let this be a lesson, ladies. Girls Gone Wild might seem like a good idea (Note: it’s the best idea.), but it could come back to bite you in the ass. You know, after you inevitably become a prostitute and have sex with middle-aged men who turn out to be elected officials. Then you can’t cash in because Joe Francis owns the right to your ta-ta’s. That’s just poor business planning. In between tricks, get yourself down to the community college and sit in on some classes. You might learn something and, please, there’s no need to thank me. Like Jesus I’m just here to help others - and maybe score a freebie.

Joe Francis is offering Gov. Spitzer’s $4,000 a month prostitute Ashley Alexandra Dupre $1 million to tell her side of the story and do a non-nude photo spread (Eh?) in his new magazine. She’d also go on tour with Girls Gone Wild. Us Magazine reports:

“Her face is on the cover of every newspaper in the country,” Francis said in a statement. “It’s clear that the public wants to see more of her. This is a serious offer and I hope she gets back to me right away.”

Us Magazine also says Ashley has made over $200,000 off her two tracks on Amie Street. Now she stands to rake in a cool mil. It’s almost like Ashley hit the jackpot. Or it hit her on the chin. I dunno, I’m not very good with metaphors. But hopefully I’m good at seducing certain Austrian governors then hitting the big bucks. Do you think Arnold’s into blondes or brunettes? What’s Maria Shriver? Besides the walking dead.

It turns out Governor Spitzer’s expensive friend Ashley Alexandra Dupre has a budding music career. She had just one track “What We Want” on Amie Street that prices songs based on popularity. Just yesterday the song was free, but according to Silicon Alley Insider, it’s blowin’ up 2 tha roof:

Ashley’s first song — “What We Want” — hit Amie Street’s top price of 98 cents before midnight last night. Overnight she’s uploaded a second track — “Move Ya Body” — and this one seems to be selling briskly, too. It’s already at 98 cents.
How many tracks has Ashley actually sold? Amie Street won’t say. But the company does note that her page is now more popular than those of artists you’d actually heard of before this week.

I just listened to both of these tracks which prove that all you need is good production and minimal musical talent. *looks at Britney* Anyway, “What We Want” is already playing on radio stations in New York which will make for some hilarious car rides for Eliot Spitzer and his wife. “Hey, honey, this is that young lady I paid for kinky sex. Her beats are off the sheez- AH! You maced my eyes!” *CRASH* Honestly, I should write family sitcoms. I think I’d be good at it.

This site doesn’t really delve into politics but, once a bikini became involved, the story of Governor Eliot Spitzer and his $4,000 prostitute immediately fell into my jurisdiction. This is a photo of 22-year-old hooker Ashley Alexandra Dupre that the New York governor solicited on the night of February 13, according to the New York Times. She’s admittedly pretty damn hot. Unfortunately to gain access to her lady parts you have to be a governor, willing to drop four grand and have a cool code name like “Client 9.” Well, I’ve got the four grand (Ah, cash advance. How can I lose?) and I’m all set on the code name. Call me “Jean Chuck Norris Van Damme.” Now I just need to work out the governor part which, I’m assuming, entails chopping off Arnold Schwarzenegger’s head thus gaining his powers.

EDIT: Here’s her MySpace page. She currently only has two friends, but I get the feeling that number’s about to drastically increase. At least by one. C’mon, friend request, work your magic.
