Cumming To A Smut Shop Near You: The Eliot Splitz-Her Story

Well, it was bound to happen: The Eliot Spitzer call girl scandal has been turned into a porn film and the title is perfect: Gov Lov: The Eliot Splitz-Her Story. (How great is it that the DVD box cover looks like the New York Post? Fleshbot has the NSFW version of the box cover.) The film is being released by Hustler, which has a long history of making sex and politics strange bedfellows. "This movie parody is an example of one of the reasons I went to the Supreme Court in 1988 — to make parody protected speech," Hustler publisher Larry Flynt said via a press release we received last night. The movie comes out May 27, but you can see the trailer after the jump. (No worries, it's safe for work.) More »

Pete Pops The Question & Ashlee Says Yes

  • Ashlee Simpson, 23, is engaged to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, 28. He got down on one knee; she said yes. Flat-iron-filled wedding to come! [In Touch Weekly]
  • Is Ashlee pregnant? There's no evidence to that end, but whatever. [Us]
  • Oh! Is Ashlee's team leaking Mariah Carey songs in hopes of creating less competition for Ashlee's album? Maybe this whole marriage thing is a publicity ploy too. [KBS Radio]
  • Beyoncé's little sister Solange says "I don't know anything about [a wedding]. You'll have to ask her yourself." Also: B has a lot to learn when it comes to kids, says Solange (who is 21 and the mother of a 3-year-old). [People]

Dubya: Now For Republicans To Poop On!

You know how sometimes you worry with all this Democratic infighting superdelegating Rock of Love American Idol whoresex ADD distraction etc. etc. that the American people are going to forget how evil Republicans are? Yeah, well guess what? I don't know if it is the war or the economy or the murder rate or the rising cost of like every basic need but somehow they haven't! In fact: the Republicans are so hated that the last time the Republican party tried to raise money from Republicans they got one of their donor requests sent back with an envelope full of feces; I don't know what kind. "It stinks. No other way to put it," says House Minority Leader John Boehner. Anyway I can't say that in my adult life I have ever been proud of this country but I am proud of whatever mail carrier held his or her nose so as to deliver this parcel, and it's that kind of shitshow in general for the GOP today, what with the HUD chief resigning amidst the housing crisis, Paul O'Neill crapping all over his former administration in the best interview with an ex-Bush cabinet member ever and Megan Carpentier and I see the President and we want to paint him crap, after the jump.

Really, Eliot? You Interfaced With This?


  • Commenting on an Eliot Spitzer whore scandal is vaguely as exciting than reading about the intricacies of trade negotiations — and also, somewhat less important — but I had to point out this quote from a source close to Kristin "Billie" Davis (who "hails from a rough-in-tumble California trailer park.") "She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times." Wow, "interface." That used to be corporate jargon for "talked to" and now it is being used to denote... bareback anal. [NYP]
  • "His sex appeal lies in being a successful businessman and politician. Women like a guy who is in control, and a man who knows what he wants." That's the editor-in-chief of Playgirl on why she'd like to land Eliot Spitzer for a cover shoot incorporating a young woman in a Girls Gone Wild T-shirt. I know; you're creaming just thinking of interfacing with it right? [US]
  • Wait, speaking of: raunchy outtakes from the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog are now being sold as a $200 "art" book. [NYP]
  • Wait, no, really speaking of, Barack Obama was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo, who tried to paint him as some sort of Hugo Chavez character by baiting him with a question about the Fed's bailout of Bear, to which he said, "Well, I wasn't privy to Bear Stearns' balance sheet." He doesn't sound like a socialist! [CNBC]

Female Pols Have Fewer Sex Scandals Because Men Don't Find Female Power Erotic

When Samantha Bee stood up at the Daily Show podium and faux admitted to cheating on her husband in a Spitzer-esque press conference, I wondered if there were any female politicians who had been caught red-handed (red-pantied?) in an extramarital affair. In the current issue of Newsweek, Julia Baird ponders the same question — "Why aren't more powerful public women caught up in sex scandals?" — and comes up with a few possibilities. While Baird makes note of a few female pols who have behaved badly (former Charlotte, NC mayor Sue Myrick, Idaho congresswoman Helen Chenoweth, Utah congresswoman Katherine Bryson), one of the possible reasons fewer women have been caught cheating is because there are fewer female politicians, period.

Dear Florida Governor Charlie Crist, If You Can't Charge Joe Francis With Hate Speech, Here's An Idea

Joel Stein's story about the jailbound Joe Francis in the April GQ begins with Joe remembering the first time they met one another, six years ago; God it was great. They'd been in the Girls Gone Wild tour bus, watching the crew tape some chick on a bunk bed. Joe had told Joel to fill a Mike's Hard Lemonade bottle with water, and the girl poured it on her tits and shoved the neck of the bottle in her pussy, and sometime around then her cell phone rang. The number, she said, was her boyfriend's. So Joe Francis flipped it open gleefully — you can almost see him doing it — and announced his identity and that he was watching the caller's girlfriend shove a Mike's Hard Lemonade up her vagina. "His eyes went manic," Joel recalls of the moment, and no doubt they went manic again in fond memory of the event, because now he is in jail, although we can't seem to get rid of him, as evidenced by his charming statements touting his footage of famed Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupre at the tender age of 17: "Our footage is from when she was 18-years-old, and it doesn't get much better than that. Eliot Spitzer has put some miles on that girl!" But wait, the depressing part is here:

"The most beautiful vagina in New York." Yes, friends, that's how Eliot Spitzer's very own "Kristen" (aka Ashley Alexandra Dupre) was known in the high-class call girl community when she first entered the scene as "Victoria" in 2004. Says Jason "King of all Pimps" Itzler: "Big hedge-fund guys, the heaviest hitters, called and I'd say this is the girl with the magic pussy, the best in New York." Confirms Itzler's ex Natalie "The $2,000-an-Hour Woman" McLennan, "As soon as I saw her coochie, I told Jason, this is special." Um, can anyone tell us what makes a vagina "the most beautiful," "magic," and "special"? It's been bothering us all week. [NYMag]

Men Are Men, But It Doesn't Mean They're Assholes

In honor of International Women's Day, the United Nations held a luncheon for its "Women's Club," known in inner circles as the U.N. Wives Club. The New Yorker's Lizzie Widdicombe was on hand to overhear the multicultural ladies' gossip, and just like for the rest of us last week, discussion turned to Eliot Spitzer's wandering wang. How did it happen? The women in brightly hued saris and native headwraps wondered. "As the seventy-year-old wife of a Syrian ex-diplomat put it, wearily," Widdicombe observed, "'Men are men.'" And yes, men are men, but that's not to say that they're all cheating, lying, crap email writing, commitment-shy jerks. The tale of Charles Whiting will restore your faith in men, and maybe in love.

Nathan Lane popped by Martha today to make Easter crafts with Ms. Stewart. Only, he sorta refused to do the craft (making faux-chocolate Easter bunnies) and, while creating the mold (which involved using binder clips) Lane remarked, "Rock Hard Putty — used by Eliot Spitzer!" before going on to exclaim, "It's alright, Martha. They're not going to do this...People have jobs, they have lives, they don't have time to make damn putties!" After a commercial, break Lane told the audience that he had been given a Ritalin during the break and was ready to work. But after Martha handed him a file for him to smooth the edges on his bunny — Lane couldn't help himself: "Did you learn this in prison, Martha?" Martha's reply? "Yes. I did." [Martha Stewart]

Barack Obama's Pastor: More Hated Than The President?!

  • Barack Obama has always been black, but since he was raised by a white mom in Hawaii and Jakarta he did not always have much in the way of a black community, and so when he moved to Chicago he started attending this black church where the pastor says the sort of hyperbolic shit pastors often say, only the media doesn't really cover the hyperbolic shit that gets said at black churches the way they cover the shit that gets said at white churches because black people aren't constantly trying to equate abortion with the Holocaust or replace the Constitution with the Ten Commandments, maybe because they just aren't as bossy as white religious people because they've never been in a position of societal dominance, which is actually something of which they are both aware and not exactly stoked about, and when you are a preacher you kinda play to that. So, like, Obama is going to try and address all of this in a speech tomorrow night. [CNN]
  • And good luck Barry: your pastor's approval rating roughly on par with Al Qaeda's. [Rasmussen]
  • But the church people love him! [ABC News]
  • A leading pimp says Eliot Spitzer must have been a sex addict if he had to pay for any of his sex. [NY Mag]

Not surprisingly, Dina Matos is denying allegations that she had a threeway with ex-husband Jim McGreevey and his former aide, Theodore Pederson. Matos released the following statement to MSNBC earlier today: "This all has to do with the publicity I have received since Governor Spitzer resigned. Jim has enlisted one of his cronies in trying to distinguish that situation from his own, and to discredit me in the media. He cannot stand it when I am receiving attention in the media rather than him." Oh man, the custody battle over little Jacqueline is going to be even sloppier than the Mills/McCartney mess. [MSNBC]

Did Former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey And Wife Have Threesomes With A Male Aide?

Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey may have officially one-upped Eliot Spitzer in terms of "goobernatorial" sex scandal sordidness. McGreevey, who left office in disgrace in November 2004 after admitting to an affair with a male colleague, is now being accused by another former male employee of having with the then-Governor and his wife, Dina Matos. Theodore Pedersen, who was McGreevey's driver and traveling aide, has told the Newark Star-Ledger that from 1999 to 2001, he had "weekly romps" with Dina and Jim "that typically began with dinner at T.G.I. Friday's and ended with a threesome at McGreevey's condo in Woodbridge." Jesus, Jim. Fridays? Are those Southwestern egg roll tequila shooters really a turn on? More »

Ashley Alexandra Dupre: What The World Needs Now? Or Just "What We Want"?

Oh no, really? Another day of this? Doesn't she get old? (No!) So what, did they talk to her pimp or something? Is her song the most-downloaded thing on some website somewhere? Did Penthouse come calling? Whatever it was, the guy who owns my deli was checking out my Daily News when I came back from picking up coffee this morning, so I guess it's just ..."what we want," so to speak. (I'd say, you know, "DO NOT WANT," but for fear of using "dated slang.") Why Glamocracy Megan and I would still, even though we are whores, rather trade places with Silda Spitzer than Ashley Alexandra Dupre, what Obama should say about his crazy pastor, and OMG those Iraqi soldiers they're interviewing on CNN are hottt, after the jump.

Why Must All Dudes "Always Be Closing"?

A few years ago I was writing a story on something called mark-to-market accounting. (No I promise! I'm going somewhere here!) The way mark-to-market worked with this one Enron division is roughly: they'd send salesfolks across the country promising big companies it would save them lots of money if they agreed to let Enron pay their energy bills for a set period of time. As an incentive to sign up, Enron wrote big checks to the companies for the privilege. Now, this division lost shitloads of money, but it didn't matter because when they needed to raise more cash from shareholders they would just prove they were profitable by using "mark-to-market" accounting, whereby they would book the year's portion of the profits they imagined they'd be making over the horizon of the contract. Of course, they had no fucking clue what these profits (or losses) would be. So they made them up! Pulled them out of asses and projections so rosy you couldn't even call them delusional. Anyway, I'm telling you this story not because mark-to-market accounting is currently being blamed for our present financial crisis — I mean, you know, as if — but because it gets back to this conversation I had at a bar the other night where a somewhat miscellaneous Lower East Side sleaze was trying to pick me up. A friend of mine was at right, fielding a flurry of amorous text messages. More »

How Eliot Spitzer's Indiscretions Made His Wife Age Before Our Eyes

Women of a certain age have it hard. They get pushed out of the workforce for younger, "better models." Sometimes their husbands of many decades cheat on them with prostitutes! Which brings us to Silda Wall Spitzer. As the week has worn, the chatter about Eliot Spitzer's accomplished, philanthropic, whip-smart wife — and what she must be feeling, thinking, and planning — has exploded, including commentary by bloggers, internet commenters and Ed Koch (the former mayor of New York), on how the 50-year-old mother of three seemingly aged several years overnight. Curious, we took a look at recent photographs of of the Harvard Law grad and found a marked difference in her face, which can only be described as exhausted and devastated, yet strong*. But that's just us. What do you think? After the jump, a chronological photo gallery of Ms. Spitzer's public appearances through the years. More »

What Does Ashley Alexandra Dupré Teach Us About Our Fucked Economy?

This our favorite picture of Ashley Youmans aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré aka "Kristen." She will forever be known as Eliot Spitzer's whore, even though he fucked several whores including someone named "Sienna," maybe even someone with a higher "diamond rating" than Ashley. Maybe she will find a gig performing her soulful ballads, or maybe she could sing backup in Gennifer Flowers' band. Perhaps she and her mother, who seemed so proud her daughter could "handle someone like the governor," will be offered a reality show or a self-help show or a mother-daughter Playboy spread a la the Kardashians. Who knows what opportunities the economy will afford young Ashley now that her mere image has proven capable of driving such tremendous internet traffic? Well, executives at Viacom and Harper Collins sort of know. But until we do, we're posting this picture to evoke the era when pretty young 22-year-olds hid their prostitution businesses for fear of corrupting families, and talking about Keith Olbermann, John McCain, Camile Paglia, the new five dollar bill, George Clooney... Glamocracy Megan is back! Jump for our lust. More »
