Why I'm Glad Joe Francis is Out of Jail

Ashley Alexander Dupré, the alleged call girl that caused former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer’s downfall, also appeared in a 2003 Girls Gone Wild Spring Break production. In response to this discovery, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis withdrew his earlier offer to pay Ms. Dupré one million dollars to appear on the 2008 Girls Gone Wild Spring Break Tour and shoot a pictorial in the brand new GGW magazine.

Girls Gone Wild will shortly release a full video of Ms. Dupre which includes same-sex encounters.

The appearance stems from Ms. Dupré’s 2003 trip to Miami to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. After fighting with a friend and getting thrown out of her hotel, Ms. Dupré sought out a nearby Girls Gone Wild bus, signed her paperwork and immediately began filming. Ms. Dupré spent a full week on the GGW bus and shot seven full length tapes that included nudity and same sex contact.

“We were surprised to find Ms. Dupré in our archives,” commented Joe Francis, CEO and founder of Girls Gone Wild. “She’s like a cloud that keeps circling back over the landscape.” Girls Gone Wild Archivists were tipped off to Ms. Dupré’s 2003 appearance and immediately began searching their archives for legal papers and images. They were surprised to find so much content on Dupré.

“Girls Gone Wild will be releasing the Ashley Alexander Dupré video shortly online,” added Francis.


The New York Post has a preview of the video, edited of course, and some more great quotes from Francis:

"She spent a week on the bus, where she engaged in girl-girl action and got nude."
"I actually think she had a sexual relationship with a cameraman."
"I personally remember Ashley. She was really at her peak back then. I'm glad I got to her before Spitzer - she looked a lot better at 18."

Spitzer's Biggest Offense

What's the worst part of this Eliot Spitzer mess?

Not Spitzer's Lucky Number Either

New York State lottery officials closed down betting on 871 because too many New Yorkers were playing the number - the hotel room where Eliot Spitzer banged a hooker.
Officials retired the number for Tuesday night's Daily Numbers game after it reached $5 million in sales.
The lottery cuts off sales to numbers when they reach $5 million in order to limit the state's payout should the number hit.
But it turned out to be as unlucky for gamblers as it was for Spitzer: Tuesday evening's winning number was 662.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre, Your 15 Minutes of Fame Start Now

The New York Times reports that Ashley Alexandra Dupre, is actually "Kristen," the hooker with whom Eliot Spitzer ruined his career and his life.
Most of the information in the story comes from her MySpace page which says she is an aspiring musician.
She does have one single she is selling and its not bad.
I actually hope she gets a successful music career out of this. Why not root for her?

Spitzer Sex Scandal

Normally I avoid talking about the major news stories because I really don't have much to add.
But I do have to make a few points about Eliot Spitzer getting caught as a client of a high-priced prostitution ring.

No high-profile man is faithful to his wife. And it's partly their fault for refusing to leave their cheating husbands. And the icon for this new breed of spineless woman could be our next President.

I can't wait until someone comes out with a picture of this whore, Kristen.
Hey Playboy she's “an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.” Does that sound like something you might be interested in?

If you are going to cheat on your wife with a high-priced hooker and ruin your career in the process, Room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel seems like a nice place to do it.

If you haven't read anything about this story and watch to catch up, especially on the lascivious details, this New York Times article is the best place to do so, in part because it includes the following passage:

"When she called Ms. Lewis, they discussed the client’s reputation as a “difficult” man who sometimes asked the prostitutes “to do things you might not think were safe,” Ms. Lewis said. But Kristen, according to court papers, was prepared: “I have a way of dealing with that,” she is quoted as having told Ms. Lewis. “I’d be like, Listen, dude, you really want the sex? ...You know what I mean.” The fact was that Kristen liked him, though, and told Ms. Lewis that he wasn’t all that difficult."

Note: The New York Times website allows you to doubleclick on a word, and get the word's definition. Looking up "sang-froid" couldn't possibly be any easier.

If like me, you prefer to read source material, here is the entire criminal complaint.

Spitzer wanted to leave the hotel key for "Kristen" in an envelope with The Concierge. But evidently they didn't trust him because they instructed Spitzer to leave the door slightly ajar so Kristen could go right to the room.
