Politics Buzz The call girl who brought down Eliot Spitzer is giving her first round of interviews since her Client 9 days. The full TV interview airs on Friday, but for now we have some semi-juicy magazine quotes like “With [Spitzer]…It was more of a transaction. Strictly business.” Ashley also talks about herself, but so far, no mention of the magic vagina. Come on, Diane Sawyer, don't let us down.
TV Buzz The prostitute at the center of the Eliot Spitzer scandal is weighing a $2 million offer for a reality show. There might be a book involved, too — and maybe, if we’re all really lucky, some kind of animated series starring her magic vagina!
Politics Buzz Well, that didn’t take long: Hustler has turned the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal into its latest porno flick. The YouTube trailer begins with Spitzer’s stand-in (30-year porn veteran Mike Horner) telling a call girl, “I have to leave for Washington on official business in an hour, so we’re going to have to make this a quickie.” It just gets better from there. The DVD hits shelves next month, and seems destined to be come an instant cult classic. The trailer is actually safe for work, but the box cover definitely is not.
Culture Buzz Eliot Spitzer has reportedly been tied to a second prostitution ring. Wicked Models was just busted by NYC cops, who arrested alleged madam Kristen Davis (no, not the actress) on Tuesday.

Politics Buzz The identity of “Kristen,” the Emperor’s Club V.I.P. employee allegedly hired by now former Governor Eliot Spitzer, is revealed as 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupré.

Politics Buzz Who’s the call girl with the single name at the center of the Governor Spitzer sex scandal? Journalists scour the web, looking for the woman named in the FBI files, who said of Spitzer, “I don’t think he’s difficult … I mean it’s just kind of like … whatever … I’m here for a purpose. I know what my purpose is.” Page Six and Gawker say they’ve found her, but there’s no confirmation yet.
Politics Buzz Eliot Spitzer’s face of shame recalls the “I-know-I-done-wrong” looks of politicians past.

It worked for Clinton; good luck, Eliot!
