Eliot Spitzer Movie, Book To Haunt Your Dreams
Penguin Group paid $350,000 for a book about former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's rise and comeuppance (ahem), to be written by Fortune's Peter Elkind, according to a report in the Observer. But better still, there's going to be a movie! In case, you know, visualizations of Spitzer having sex weren't horrifying enough when confined your imagination. Writes the Observer, "Filmmaker Alex Gibney... is working on a Spitzer documentary, the release of which will be timed to the publication of the book." A documentary? Meh. Spitzer's life calls out — screams out, really, in ecstasy — for filthy fictionalization. And of course Larry Flint and Hustler are already on the case with Gov Love: The Elliott Splitz-Her Story, the safe-for-work trailer for which is after the jump. More »

Drunken 17-Year-Old Exonerates Girls Gone Wild
Oh, excellent, poor Joe Francis and his Girls Gone Wild franchise will now almost definitely not have to pay any damages for releasing a Hooker Gone Wild video featuring former Gov. Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre, because he has produced a video of Dupre totally consenting to the whole thing. The video was filmed just outside a shower, logically, and Dupre looks almost definitely drunk. Also, she's only 17. More »

Roger Clemens: Baseball's Eliot Spitzer
Here on day two of the Roger Clemens Infidelity Scandal And Schadenfreude Festival Of '08, it's becoming more clear that the brawny former Yankees ace pitcher and full time jerk did in fact cheat on his wife with the wild country singer Mindy McCready. Because now she's admitted it! McCready said the two did have an ongoing affair, although the sex didn't start until she was of legal age. They first met when she was only 15, (Miley Cyrus joke). But the most entertaining aspect of this scandal is how Clemens—heroic, honored, self-righteous, dismissive of critics, a King of New York—is turning into an uncanny baseball version of another recently fallen hero: Eliot Spitzer.

Hooker Sues Pornographer For Immorality
Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre can sexually exploit herself just fine, thank you, and doesn't need any help from Girls Gone Wild, the video company she is now suing in federal court in Miami. Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis had offered Dupre $1 million to pose for a nude video, but rescinded the offer when he found footage of a 17-year-old Dupre in his archive of drunken teen nudity. He repackaged the footage as Hooker Gone Wild, and Dupre is accusing Francis of marketing the video in a way that makes it sound hotter than it actually is, i.e. properly fulfilling his duties as Chief Poontang Officer at Girls Gone Wild: More »

Spitzer Hooker Nabs Mariah Carey Manager
Ashley Dupre is one step closer to her big dream of being a famous singer instead of the most famous prostitute to service former Gov. Eliot Spitzer. She totally got signed by diva Mariah Carey's manager! Well, her ex-manager, at least. Before a big falling out. But he stills reps this singer called Mika who maybe you've heard of. And according to one anonymous Daily News source, there's been "quite a bit of interest" from record labels in Dupre. Or, if you believe the other anonymous source, "every label passed." Ugh! Seriously, who do you have to blow in this town to get a straight answer about your record demo? [Daily News]

The Post today found a second Eliot Spitzer hooker. No, not Kristin Davis, she was the last second Eliot Spitzer hooker, supposedly, who maybe the Post would like us to forget about? Anyway, this new hooker is unnamed, and this time she's outed by "law enforcement sources," and her story will make your involuntary visualizations of Spitzer's sex sessions (no? just me?) even more uncomfortable:

Spitzer Hooker Hires Andy Warhol Protege For 15 More Minutes
Eliot Spitzer's favorite call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, has finally hired a PR firm. Why she waited so long, we have no idea. If she wanted help fending off media coverage, she would have done well to hire somebody as soon as the story broke; likewise, if she's planning on capitalizing on the scandal to build her own personal brand, she'll need to strike while the iron is hot. Which was about three weeks ago. The Daily News reported that she hired Susan Blond Inc., an entertainment-heavy NYC firm whose client list has included Ice Cube, Britney Spears, David Bowie, and Criss Angel, among many others. I smell a second-rate music career about to be launched! So who is Susan Blond? An Andy Warhol theory come to life. More »
Whoring Ex Guv, Wife In Counseling
"Given that Mr. Spitzer was forced to resign after being implicated in a prostitution scandal, it is perhaps no surprise that he and his wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, are in couples therapy — before his resignation, Mr. Spitzer himself promised to address his personal problems." [Times]

Silda Spitzer Knew Eliot Was a Cheater
Reports by the Post hinting that Silda knew about her governor husband's hooker habit could change her narrative from a reluctant political wife to a complicit, calculating Hillary. Maybe she didn't know the gritty details and thought Eliot was just having an affair, like normal politicians. But according to the Post, a source told Richard Johnson that Eliot said his "[bleep]ing wife doesn't care [about the prostitutes], so why does anybody else care?"More »

Silda Sticking With Client #9?
Last night a tipster emailed to say she spotted Silda Spitzer at 3 pm "on Madison between 77 and 78 looking fantastic, extremely thin, walking and laughing with another woman. Glad to see girlfriend having some fun. No sign of Client 9." Then, this morning, in the Daily News, came word that Silda was, in fact, spending some time around town with her husband, whoring ex-governor Eliot Spitzer. The two were seen hanging affectionately in Central Park: More »

Horace Mann-Sense: Li'l Roy Cohn Sad, Former School Head's Spitzer Connection
Little public figure Charles Stam was the villain of New York Magazine's cover story on the terrible nonsense that goes on at tony prep school Horace Mann. Stam harassed a teacher for being a liberal feminist, and even lied about having a tape of her calling him a Nazi in an attempt to get her fired. He was promptly elected student body president! We posted a small picture of him from the Horace Mann yearbook earlier this week, and that made Stam sad. He emailed Gawker boss Nick Denton to ask that we remove his "personal material" from the site. Instead, we will reprint his email. It's after the jump, along with the sad tale of school head Thomas Kelly's toxic waste playground for the poor kids, and why it's all Eliot Spitzer's fault. More »

Eliot Spitzer: Media Critic
Before The New York Times utterly destroyed former Governor Eliot Spitzer by breaking the news of his whoring ways, Spitzer didn't have much respect for the paper. New York State District Attorney David Soares' report on Troopergate includes an email exchange between Spitzer and aid Rich Baum in which they discuss Times reporter Nick Confessore. "In a separate set of e-mails early in the morning on that date, Spitzer asked Rich Baum: 'So how do u think confessore came out?'""To this, Baum replied: 'Thought confe[ssore] story was what you said—fine but not how should have been written. Amazing what they pass off as analysis."
"Spitzer responded: 'Agreed. Confessor[e] was just so superficial, but our side is there, and headline and lead are okay."
Nice of Spitzer to give Confessore and his Times colleagues some stronger meat to cover.
Spitzer Hooker Mystery Update
Regarding our earlier post about all the conflicting stories surrounding possible Spitzer hooker #2 Kristin Davis: a reliable source at the Daily News assures us that the paper did not pay for Davis' "Black Book" client list, which someone was shopping around to us yesterday. They also reiterated that in all their digging, the Daily News has not come up with any connection between Spitzer and Davis; the Post's sourcing remains a mystery.

The Emperors Club Whored Artists, Too
Modern art is more or less indistinguishable from prostitution, but every now and then something happens to make that relationship a little less symbolic and a little more literal. Emperors Club, the high-priced call girl outfit that provided Eliot Spitzer and countless other wealthy elites with classy sex, also hooked the same wealthy clients up with classy art. According to Artnet: "As it turns out, the company that ran Emperors Club VIP, the Emperors Publishing Media Group, also runs a parallel website titled Emperors Club Contemporary Art." Millionaires and billionaires who signed up with the service would supposedly gain access to "exclusive auctions" of works by folks like Jeff Koons and Andrew Wyeth. More »
