The Lady at the center of the salacious scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and generated national headlines is going to dish on her life as a pricey escort. ABC says Ashley Alexandra Dupre sat down with Diane Sawyer on the program “20/20.”
Dupre reveals how an “upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience.”
Spitzer resigned March 12 after it was disclosed he had used Emperors Club VIP. Dupre worked for the escort service.
On Thursday, federal prosecutors said they wouldn’t bring criminal charges against Spitzer, marking the end of the saga.
Four people pleaded guilty to running the prostitution operation.
I was just talking about this girl and Spitzer the other day. We were talking about how amazing it is that Ashley Alexandra Dupré has not said one word to the press since Eliot Spitzer went down. Especially in this day of media whores (so to speak).
Because of her show of class of keeping her mouth shut (and the fact that it is so incredibly rare for a young lady these days to avoid media exposure), I was thinking of naming her the first G Manifesto’s Woman of the Year at the annual G Manifesto Awards. (Click here for The G Manifesto Awards, The Best of 2007).
But now her chances look bleak.
And I don’t mean Memphis Bleek either.

Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has poured more scorn on Oscar De La Hoya three weeks ahead of the ‘Dream Match’ in Las Vegas.
Roach, who worked with De La Hoya for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007, has ridiculed the boxer’s appearance.
De La Hoya must slim down to 147 pounds for the fight with Pacquiao and will skip the traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day as a result.
He is pleased with his progress in the battle with the scales but Roach said: “I’m glad to hear that Oscar’s diet has made him skinny.
“The photos of him at his media day have him looking like boxing’s version of Twiggy! If Oscar thinks he has it tough skipping Thanksgiving to train for this fight, wait until Manny cooks his golden goose on December 6!
“Manny’s recipe for success will have Oscar plucked and roasted within nine rounds.”
De La Hoya remains a hot favourite to win the fight and is an 8-11 chance with Sky Bet.
Before the current economic crisis became apparent to all, the most popular fable used to describe America’s uncanny economic resiliency was the story of Goldilocks. It was argued that our economy was skipping down a sunny path of moderate growth, low inflation and rising asset prices. However, a much better parable for our economy over the last decade would have been the story of Humpty Dumpty: a bloated, fragile shell perched on the top of a dangerously high stone wall. This week, all the government’s horses and all of its men scrambled to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Here is a look at some of this week’s highlights:
The Mother of all Moral Hazards
No doubt prodded by the administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a new attempt to stop the fall in home prices and foreclosures through a loan modification program that would cap mortgage payments so that a homeowner’s total housing expenses would not exceed 38% of household income for home owners who are 90 days delinquent.
In a classic case of unintended consequences, the plan will encourage a massive new round of delinquencies and household income reduction as homeowners will jump through hoops to qualify for the program and maximize their benefit. Those who could conceivably economize to meet their existing obligations will now have a strong reason to forego such sacrifices. Those who are not 90 days past due will intentionally become so. In many cases, dual income families may decide to eliminate one job altogether as reduced mortgage payments combined with lower child care and other work related expenses will likely exceed the after-tax value of the lost paycheck.
Unfortunately, the last thing our economy needs is falling household incomes and even more bad debt. But that is precisely what this plan will give us.
Somali pirates are in command of a Saudi supertanker in the Indian Ocean after staging their most daring hijacking yet off the coast of Kenya.
The Sirius Star, owned by the Saudi company Aramco, is the largest ship ever taken by the pirates, and can carry a cargo of crude oil worth more than $100 million.
As pirates have become better armed and equipped, they have sailed farther out to sea in search of bigger targets, including the oil tankers, among the 20,000 tankers, freighters and merchant vessels passing through the Gulf of Aden each year.
Attacks have increased by more than 75 per cent this year.
With many attacks ending with million-dollar payouts, piracy is considered the most lucrative work in Somalia. Pirates rarely hurt their hostages, instead holding out for a huge payday.
The strategy has been effective: a report last month by a London-based think-tank said pirates have raked in up to $30 million in ransoms this year alone.
French and Spanish police arrested the reputed leader of ETA’s commando units on Monday — dealing a devastating blow to the armed Basque separatist group.
Mikel de Garikoitz Aspiazu Rubina, 35, is suspected of taking part in several killings, including the December shooting deaths of two Spanish guardsmen in France, according to French and Spanish officials.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said Aspiazu Rubina — known by the alias “Txeroki” (pronounced cher-OH-kee) — has been the operational chief of ETA’s hit squads and bombing units for several years.
The armed group has been fighting since the late 1960s to create an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwest France. The violence has claimed more than 800 lives.
A car carrying one of Israel’s top mafia kingpins exploded as it traveled in central Tel Aviv on Monday, killing him and threatening to unleash an all-out war in Israel’s increasingly violent underworld.
Israeli police officials identified the dead man as Yaakov Alperon — known informally as “Don Alperon” — the head of one of the country’s most powerful crime families. The bloodied body was wearing the same polo shirt Alperon was seen sporting earlier in the day at a Tel Aviv courthouse.
Medics said three bystanders were also lightly wounded in the explosion, including a 13-year-old boy.
Israelis are accustomed to violence with their Palestinian neighbors but have traditionally felt relatively safe from violent crime. In recent years, however, mob wars also have plagued Israeli towns and cities.
Rival underworld gangs have waged bloody battles for control of gambling and protection rackets, including one involving bottle recycling.
One button Suits VS Two Button Suits VS Three Button Suits
This question came from yourfavoritewritersfavoriter:
“What is your opinion of the 1 button suit?”
Funny you ask, I have been rocking tons of One Buttons lately and chopping it up like a chainsaw thru Nutella. (And I love Nutella.)
Although I am no fashion historian, I would say it goes like this:
One Button Suit: Kind of Jazz man smooth. Rat pack steez. Stylishly sleek. Good for picking up Models and Nightlife Princesses. For the Nightshift. Swooping fly girls on the veranda overlooking the Med. Suit worn not because you have to wear a suit for work.
Two Button Suit: Universal. Biz Stilo. Works well on all builds. Good all around battle tested swoop gear. Timeless. JFK.
Three Button Suit: 60’s Mod style. Good for taller cats. Can be Rakish.
Side note:
Four Button Suit: NFL wide receiver. A la Michael Irvin.
Two thieves who stole a £15,000 diamond ring from a jewellers in Edinburgh are being sought by police.
Two women, believed to be of middle-eastern origin, walked into Lime Blue jewellers in George Street and asked to look at a ring in the window display.
They acted as if they wished to pay for the ring but when the shop assistant turned away, the thieves walked out of the shop with it.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: “This was a brazen high-value theft carried out by two women who are believed to have visited a number of shops in George Street yesterday afternoon.
“We are appealing for any members of the public who may have noticed the suspects in George Street, either before or after the theft took place, to contact us immediately.
“Similarly, anyone with any other information that can help us identify the two women should also get in touch.”
And in my experience, is better preformed by women.
