Ashley Dupre, who recently called (some? most?) New York City women hypocrites for looking down on her prostituting past, has now been in the NY Post two days in a row. Yesterday, the Post looked at her road to realization—with a sexy fashion shoot, of course (photo slideshow below, which is set to her second single!)—with the former high-class escort offering this pitch line, "Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback. I'm the poster child for redemption."

Two right-wing filmmakers have teamed up with Fox News to conduct a juicy hidden-camera exposé on the community advocacy group ACORN, a group conservatives hate because it receives government funding to help the indigent. According to Fox, filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, dressed as a cliche pimp and sought housing advice at ACORN offices in New York. Joined by his partner Hannah Giles, 20, who posed as a prostitute, O'Keefe claims to have told employees he needed a house to run a brothel and help Giles escape an abusive pimp.

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!

Police continue to hone in on the woman that Long Island motivational speaker Jeff Locker contacted in East Harlem and is believed to be one of the suspects in the brutal murder that took place while he was being robbed inside his car Thursday morning. The woman along with two men, all described as black and in their mid-20s, were captured on surveillance video while they withdrew from Locker's bank account $200 each at seven different neighborhood ATMs. Yesterday the Post said that police believed the woman to be Locker's girlfriend; today the Daily News is quoting police sources that say it's a prostitute Locker had called from his cell and they're looking for. The paper also gets a graphic description from a mortician who arrived at Locker's body inside his car and tells them, "I knocked on the window to see if he was asleep or doped up or whatever. I saw his mouth open...His shirt had a bunch of holes and there was blood. The blood was dried. His head was back. His hands were tied behind his back. He was pale."

To everyone's prurient delight, a lawyer for the woman who booked clients' "appointments" with ladies from the Emperors Club VIP prostitution ring says that former governor Eliot Spitzer was a regular customer. Marc Agniflio, who represents Temeka Lewis, told reporters that Spitzer's habit "was more than sporadic. It wasn't always more than once a month, but it was sometimes more than once a month."

Disgraced ex-governor Eliot Spitzer is off the hook! After a lengthy investigation, the United States attorney in Manhattan, Michael J. Garcia, says his office has found no evidence that Spitzer misused public or campaign funds to pay the Empire Club VIP for prostitutes. And while it is a federal offense to transport women across state lines "for immoral purposes"—which Spitzer definitely did—Garcia decided that "the public interest would not be further advanced by filing criminal charges in this matter." In a statement, Spitzer said, "I appreciate the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office, and I acknowledge and accept responsibility for the conduct it disclosed. I resigned my position as Governor because I recognized that conduct was unworthy of an elected official. I once again apologize for my actions, and for the pain and disappointment those actions caused my family and the many people who supported me during my career in public life."

The Post reports: "A one-legged hooker was killed in Brooklyn after a john hit her over the head, causing her to fall backwards out of her wheelchair and slam her skull against the wall. Investigators believe she had been servicing a client in the hallway who then hit her on the head with a heavy object." Elizabeth Acevedo, 38, a homeless prostitute who lost her leg in a train accident, was found on Thursday morning at the Wyckoff Gardens houses in Brooklyn and died yesterday after being taken off life support. The Post adds, "She wore a prosthetic leg, but also used a wheelchair." Police are still looking for the killer.

There was plenty of buzz Monday about Radar's investigative report on $2,000 an hour hipster hookers, but that wasn't the week's only close-up on the oldest profession. A bit further down market, to say the least, the Villager's Laurie Mittelmann pals around with transgender street walkers in the West Village: "While shoes may also pain the feet of males and females, underwear can present unique problems for pre-operation transgender women. They want foxy little numbers, but still need to cover bulging male genitalia." And just like the author of the Radar story, Mittelmann also turns down a paranoid john who approached her for "'rocks and sex.' Apparently, he thought there was a chance this reporter was an undercover cop. 'You’re either going to hook me up with some fun, or hook me up in cuffs,' he said, licking his lips and kneading his pants." Demonstrating enormous self-control, Mittelmann somehow resisted his charms.

An officer with a history of false arrest is being accused of more of the same by a 40-year-old grandmother in Sunset Park. Monica Gonzalez tells the Daily News she was walking four blocks from her apartment to the E.R. during an asthma attack at 2:30 in the morning last November when she was arrested by Officer Sean Spencer, who claimed she was holding a condom and approaching vehicles with another woman. (Gonzalez's lawyer never found evidence of the supposed condom.) The charges were finally dropped in May and now Gonzalez, who works as a receptionist, has filed a formal complaint with the city’s Law Department.

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.
