Ashley Dupre Makes Rounds As Post's New Advice Columnist

Ashley Dupre, former Governor Spitzer's high-class escort -turned-aspiring singer- turned-Russell Simmons protege, is all over the TV now that she's the NY Post's new advice columnist. Yesterday, she appeared on The View—video below—discussing why men cheat, and today, it was Good Day New York (also owned by the Post's owner News Corp).

Dupre told GDNY anchor Rosanna Scotto that the advice column is something she's wanted to do for a long time (a reality show producer did say that Dupre saw herself as like Dr. Phil last year). She admitted, "I don't hae a Ph.D. in human behavior. What I do have is experience, on the other side, and I know... the piece missing in a man's marriage," but the column is "kind of tongue in cheek, I'm having fun with it, and it's just my experience. And what better way to learn than [from someone] who's been there and done that."

Still, that's not good enough for the Daily News' Joanna Molloy, who blasts Dupre's hiring at the News' rival paper:

Teenage runaway, girl gone wild, hooker, home wrecker, nude model ... sex advice columnist to the city! Yep, there she was, Ashley Dupre, with her creative and profitable experience between the sheets, giving advice to New York's sexlorn in a newspaper that puts a new down in downmarket.

...With Dupre spread across the newspaper Sundays, perhaps six of Tiger Woods' mistresses could pick up the slack the rest of the week.

Or, taking the logic a bit further, Bernie Madoff could write a what-not-to-do with your money column; we could get travel tips from Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano; Sen. Larry Craig could advise on how to meet new people; Mel Gibson could give lessons on tolerance and Lindsay Lohan, on sobriety.

Oh, snap! Of course, Dupre's latest foray in the spotlight has been causing some issues: She Tweeted on Sunday, "WTF. I just answered my door b/c I'm expecting my neighbor and it was this reporter from Metro. She got into 2 locked doors...And I asked her how did she know where I live and she said its her job and she can't answer that. I told her boundaries, this is my home...She said I have a few questions about your column. Me in my Christmas flannel pajamas directed her to my attorney and gave her his number..."

Things like this only happen in the U.S.

What a dumb bitch!

TheCowman

Damn...if I had the $ to afford any hot looking hooker (escort, whore, whatever) why would someone chose her?

There must be lots of hotter looking escorts out there than this broad.

thehotr0ck

can you think of a better usage for The Post than that? Yes, now you can get all the sage advise on love, marriage and what a hooker needs to pack when visiting a trick across state lines. Ask Ashley will be the most informative new beat in town…as in beat my meat, anyway. Read all about it at http://bit.ly/4N9pvs

hotstepper

tried to watch video. made through 15 annoying seconds of Dupre flapping her filthy, whorish mouth.

can i have a cookie now?

airtech1

And taking the logic further still: Daily News' Joanna Molloy can give advice on credible journalism.

HypocraticOath

God she really is a nauseating piece of shit. Please go away forever you WHORE!

NannyState

Who didn't think she'd also be milking her 15 minutes of fame?

BklynsFinest

Why did I even go to school? "just because this happened to me " jeez....

FunChop

I wonder if like, she's going to like talk like she speaks.

Cuz, like, that would be so rad.

jjazznola

How does a 24 year old whore know anything about relationships? Any men she has been with hit it and ran. As for posing nude, it's a little late in the game, no?

marcasm

Did she give up her musical career to pursue journalism ?

She's no one trick pony. Although, it was one trick that got her where she is today.

dilligaf

I love that a whore can get her own column. I have friends out of work that went the proper route and work at Starbucks now. Yay for our media.....

felixthecat2

dude, she stated she has no Ph.D. but EXPERIENCE. :0. Anyhow who wants to work for the New Joke Post???

dilligaf

Well maybe she can help with advice on how to give a proper dirty sanchez. I think any of my friends out of work would still take a job at the New Joke Post.

She was poised, smart and strong on The View. Those yentas tried to squish her repeatedly with room temperature IQ soundbyte labels and she was just full-on Holly Golightly ho fabulous, impervious. I'd read her column. Bring it, honey!

Dear Ashley,

What's the best way to get a disgusting, wealthy, HIV+ old man who you want to retain as a client to wear a condom when he insists on barebacking up your ass?

Thanks.

sexisicilian

Ha! That's a good question. Here is mine:

Dear Hoe:

Can you please explain the difference between a "prostitute" and an "escort"? Thanx!

Sincerely, a tax paying woman with class who does not sell her body for cash XOXOX

NannyState

Easy: promise him online revenue for his Wall Street Journal.

felixthecat2

Spitzer has better taste than Tiger. Tiger had drive-thru women.

felixthecat2

So she values her privacy but not Spitzer. hate her.

mellow_fellow

Assuming you meant to put an apostrophe-s after Spitzer's name: I don't recall her publicly spilling the beans about her date with him.

felixthecat2

Yes, I was wrong. I didn't realize it until I watch her second interview with Rosanna Scotto. I retract my comment.

Humptydank

This is was a clever idea by the Post.

Spitzer's still pretty effective, and there's a good chance he'll find a way to get back into politics at some point.

This is the Post's way of constantly reminding everyone that Spitzer was a hookerizer without having to find new ways to get it into real news.

captainblackout

My thoughts exactly. Curse you Murdoch and your media empire!

Squard

Now she add the prefix "attention" to her old job title: whore

hotstepper

street-whore turns media-whore. and ain't that pantsuit precious?

leepresson

A hooker who can type? What are the odds?

turkishjade

FTA: "She Tweeted on Sunday, 'WTF. I just...'"

I thought they limited how many characters you can tweet? That's more like a paragraph. Did they change things on Twitter?
