When a Girls Gone Wild video surfaced featuring Ashley Alexandra Dupre, aka the expensive hooker who serviced Eliot Spitzer, Dupre quickly moved to sue the GGW operation and founder Joe Francis for $10 million, claiming she was under 18 in the video. But then Francis fired back, by releasing a video showing Dupre saying she is over 18. Now her lawyer says she's dropping the lawsuit and will "focus on the positive." A statement released by Dupre's lawyer Richard Wolf said, "She has prospects for many exciting new projects, and is looking forward to starting a new chapter."

Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis answered a $10 million lawsuit by releasing a video showing Ashley Dupre giving an assumed name AND claiming she was 18.

Leave it to Joe Francis to make sure Hookergate stays dirty! The Girls Gone Wild founder told the Daily News, "We have some really great footage of Ashley. She was really into girl-on-girl action."

Earlier this week, the FDNY Foundation, a non-profit that raises money for FDNY causes, released the 2008 edition of its popular Calendar of Heroes, featuring some of the Bravest's bare-chested hunks posing in all parts of New York City and thrilling many. But after the calendar crew appeared on the Today show, the eagle-eyed realized that cover boy Michael Biserta, of Ladder Co. 131 in Red Hook, was also featured in a Guys Gone Wild video, showing, as the Post calls it, "his God-given hose." So now the FDNY has decided to stop making the Calendar of Heroes. God, Joe Francis ruins everything!
