Celebrity Whoring Pays Better Than Spitzer Whoring

attachments/jen/2008_03_kristen10.jpg Infamous prostitute of the hour Ashley Alexandra Dupre, whose other life as high class hooker "Kristen," forced Governor Eliot Spitzer to resign, is cashing in on her . . . uh, notoriety. From revenue from downloaded music tracks to book, magazine, clothing, and film deals, Dupre could stand to make millions of dollars in coming months. Silicon Alley Insider listed some potential deals that could pay off for the pro from New Jersey.

$200,000+ from song sales so far (300,000+ downloads)

$1 million offer from Hustler magazine; other nude pictorial offers pending

$1 million offer from Kick Ass Pictures for a starring role in a porn film

Expected $1 million offer for a book deal.

Hypothetical "Client No. 9" perfume deal

"Six figure" offer from Georgi Vodka to star in their butts-on-buses campaign ("She's probably got the most popular butt in America right now," a Georgi executive says). Georgi also wants to create a new product around her called "Vodka No. 9."

Commercials, tabloid-TV shows, a sexy clothing line, and more.

Those details were culled from an article in the New York Post, which also features video of Dupre shooting a music video for one of her songs. The Post estimates that the looker hooker could earn anywhere from $2.5 million to $5 million for all the combined deals she's been offered--and classily notes that would equal her performing 581 to 1,162 sex acts with the Governor.

More Dupre details: Some friends tell the Daily News she has abused cocaine ("I'd watch her go through multiple bags [of cocaine] in a single evening") and the management of her West 25th Street building issued a statement to the media saying she's not there, so stop upsetting tenants with the cameras and TV crews. And she has been given immunity by prosecutors.

Dupre's biological father Williams Youmans, who lives in North Carolina, told the Post she called him last week, crying and saying she was in trouble, "She just made the wrong decisions. Everyone makes mistakes, and this was a very large mistake. I love her tremendously and support her, but I am just in so much shock right now."

Of the mercifully few I've seen, no picture yet has justified $5K per hour. Certainly not the one above, which captures all the style of spring break, circa 1987. Ugh.

The IRS will bring an indictment against her for tax evasion.

Streamwise

Guranteed she blows through whatever money she makes within a year, and is back to the same situation. Cmon, she was making $1000/hr and couldn't pay rent because it was all goin up her nose......

Isn't her escort career over?

She seemed to have trouble with the rent. So, why shouldn't she try to take what money she can, because it's all over by the end of summer (at best).

The real question is why we are paying her attention and money.

Wow - I bet shes made more money than Radiohead on music downloads.

Referring to someone as a "high class hooker" is comical. I think they meant to say "high priced hooker."

"Class" has nothing to do with it.

Really? "Her other life" caused him to resign?

It wasn't him being a pig and indulging in an industry that exists because of pathetic overprivileged males that are frustrated at being to exert all kinds of power in public life yet are clueless when it comes to sexual dominance?

I'm pretty sure it was all him.

And what's with dissing this girl. As little as you may want to admit it, every poster here probably has or has had one friend in their life that has been part of the sex industry at one point or the other. No exceptions, even the nicest ones can fall. Y'all a bunch of ignant folks, you know that.

Jen, the progressive way to deal with prostitution is to legalize it.

Let's be honest about what's wrong with this picture. Its not that two consenting adults had sex for money.

Sex for money, sex for dinner, who cares? It's that one of them was a married father of 3 teenage girls who also happened to be the chief executive of the state and a former A.G. who prosecuted prostitution rings.

What's the difference between a jersey girl and garbage?

Garbage gets picked up occasionally.

I love this girl. She is my hero. I've always argued that celebrities are nothing but whores (whether they are male or female), and this "Kristen" character finally puts the equal sign between the two once and for all.

Let us to celebrate the end of all hypocrisies:

They are all whores, and we are all johns!

babyhitler

spitzer met with more than one prostitute. I hope the others come forward and dilute this bitch's fame. it's a free for all. They should have a reality show called Eliot's Nest, where all his whores live in a condo and compete for a one million dollar cash prize.

books

y'all some purtanical folks - people ought to be free to sleep with who they want - you shouldnt expect to own and control other people with this contrived morality. Fcuking is a big part of existence and nothing to be ashamed of.

Jen Chung

Nicholas Kristof's column suggests the progressive way to deal with prositution is to punish the johns - not the prostitutes.

Steven, she probably made a deal with the prosecution - no jail if she talks.

WesleySnipesAlot

Steven, I believe it is called "Pretty Woman Syndrome." As if I don't have enough reasons to dislike Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. But seriously, this whole thing makes me retch more that a 5 dollar bottle of rotgut whiskey.

Why is she not in jail at this very moment!?

Oh right our country has a double standard against the average joe and the elite. If she was caught with some average Joe she would be sitting in prison right now.
