A few days ago, Ashley Dupre, forever in the history books as former Governor Spitzer's expensive escort Kristen, complained about (some) women criticizing her for being a prostitute and questioned their moral compasses, saying they "still dive into relationships with wealthy guys who they don't love or even find attractive, but they stay in it because they have a nice home, a car and spending money...I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things." Which has totally pissed off some New York ladies!

After yesterday's rumors about Ashley Alexandra Dupre setting her sights on MTV reality TV fame, the Post found the high-class hooker who serviced former Governor Eliot Spitzer at the Jersey Shore. While she only offered a "coy giggle" and a "no comment" when asked about reality show plans, her mom said, "You'll have to follow her out to LA."

The siren song of the Big Apple lured Ashley Alexandra Dupre back! The 23-year-old known better as "Kristen," former Governor Spitzer's high class prostitute, was spotted taking a bus from NJ (she's been living with her parents) into the Port Authority. Three guesses: the Emperors' Club VIP took a big chunk of her fees; she hasn't been paid for her music; or she believes very strongly in ways to reduce her carbon footprint.

Tameka Rachelle Lewis, a University of Virginia graduate now immortalized as the prostitution ring booker who confirmed an escort's visit with Governor Spitzer, has pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering.

First she nabs Mariah Carey's old manager to represent her. Now Ashley Dupré, also known as "Kristen," the hooker who serviced former governor Eliot Spitzer, is suing Joe Francis and his "Girls Gone Wild" operation for $10 million in damages. She says the GGW video was taken when she was underage.

It's a relatively quiet month for revelations about former governor Eliot Spitzer, so the Post serves up an "Exclusive" about a "second call girl" who says the Steamroller like "props."

Sure, politicians, pundits, psychiatrists, and anyone else who can string together two words have weighed in on Eliot Spitzer's disgrace. But it's just cuter when a little princess explains it all.

Ashley Dupré has become a "don't" in the world of scandalites for not parlaying her 15 minutes into some cold hard cash. NY Mag reports on her quick decline, saying that even market analysts "are now scolding the governor's hooker for not taking full financial advantage." Meanwhile, Silicon Alley reported yesterday that while there's still a possibility of a "low six-figure" offer from Georgi Vodka in the works, what's-her-name's story is going stale; seems her shelf life was about two weeks.

the video was shot. Lawyer Don Buchwald wrote in an e-mail Dupre was kicked off the GGW bus "because she was underage...It would be outrageous at the very least to play the video of an underage female on the Internet."

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."

Television coverage of Governor Spitzer's scandal has been relentless. From extra newscasts from most of the stations and WNET/ Thirteen's special Monday night report (the only one that seemed to gauge statewide reaction) to leading all the local newscasts, but the networks, local stations throughout the country and even the BBC World News.

While call girl "Kristen" is getting a lot of attention, the thoughts and feelings of Governor Spitzer's wife Silda Wall Spitzer are still the object of much curiosity. The Post spoke to a friend of hers who said Wall Spitzer is most upset about Ashley Alexandra Dupre's age (22).

Likely many a person coming to New York City with a dream, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, also known as Governor Spitzer's February 13 call girl "Kristen," wanted to be famous. But did she want to be infamous enough to be on the cover of the NY Post as a "BAD GIRL"? And how bad can she be, if she has a tattoo of a cross on her right hand? In addition to the photo on the cover of The Post, they have several more photos of the girl who brought Spitzer down.

News that Governor Spitzer's high-class escort "Kristen" is a 22-year-old who grew up on the Jersey shore named Ashley Alexandra Dupre has captivated the media. They are camped outside of her Flatiron-area apartment on West 25th Street (one commenter lamented the news crews were preventing him to get to his CVS!) for a glimpse of the aspiring singer whose only comment, so far, has been to the NY Times: “I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster. This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated."

Well, today was quite a day, with Governor Spitzer's resignation bookended by more details about why the authorities were drawn to his activities with prostitutes - banks were alerted because of cash transactions! - and the revelation of who his expensive hooker "Kristen" actually was - a 22-year-old Jersey girl named Ashley. Here are some other interesting tidbits:
• Client No. 6 may be the richest man in England, the Duke of Westminster, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, who has a history of soliciting prostitutes. He's good friends with Prince Charles, he's Prince William's godfather, and he too wanted unprotected sex with a hooker.
• The Daily News has details on some of the other clients, including Client 4 who thought he could pass off the cost as a "business expense."
• Spitzer went to the Mayflower's hotel bar in search of a classical music CD. The Post suggest he was trying to set the mood with "Kristen."
• It's still unclear where Spitzer's state police were during the tryst, but a former state trooper, Assemblyman David Townshend, told the Times, "You have to balance security and privacy...Troopers are in a paramilitary organization, which means they are trained to take orders. If the governor told them to get lost because he wanted some privacy, they aren’t going to disobey that order or they might end up in worse trouble.”

Client No. 9's escort "Kristen" has been unmasked by the NY Times. She's known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre (born Ashley Youmans), a 22-year-old aspiring singer who was raised in NJ, lived in a number of cities before settling in NYC.

Okay, the video of Governor Spitzer's short, vague apology is a classic addition to the apologetic politicians reel, but late night writers got to dissect the Hookergate. David Letterman offered up a Top Ten list that included references to Roy Scheider and Bubba (video, above; entire top ten list after the jump).
