Diane Sawyer Rats Out Hooker To Her Parents


When the blogger and prostitute Debauchette was interviewed by Diane Sawyer for an ABC News report, several tricks were used to conceal her identity. She appeared mainly in silhouette, with a distorted profile and a distorted voice. She was identified only as a "beautiful," "highly educated" woman with a day job in the arts. The tricks were not enough, however, to keep Debauchette's parents from figuring out it was their daughter on the screen when they tuned in, as fate would have it, to watch the show. Mom saw Sawyer's report twice, to make sure her instincts had been correct, then fired off an email to her daughter, quoted in a Debauchette blog post: More »

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?"

British Sex Scandals: 100X More Insane You think our governor paying a few hookers is a scandal? Well, FIA and Formula 1 president Max Mosley was just caught in a completely depraved Nazi-roleplaying-S&M-hooker video. London's News of the Wolrd has the five-hour tape, and Jalopnik made a best-of reel. (Other depraved Brits: Stephen Milligan, the auto-erotic asphyxiation enthusiast and cross-dresser, who died while practicing such things in 1994, an orange wedged firmly in mouth.) [Jalopnik]

Washingtonienne Only a Fake Escort

As the Post revealed last Friday, Jessica Cutler, who first saw scandal in 2004 with her sex-on-the-Hill blog Washingtonienne (which, while it lost her a job, resulted in a $300,000 book contract), has also been linked to the Wicked Models escort agency. But Cutler told Galleycat that while she knew the escort agency's madam, she didn't work there: "I've been through all this before," she told them, rather world-wearily. In fact, she says her head had been Photoshopped onto bodies in the agency's profile pics. If you click to look a little closer, it totes does seem that way. [via Galleycat]

Hooker's MySpace Returns To Calm Panicked Nation

Kristen Ashley Youmans Four-Star Dupre's MySpace profile went down from roughly 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., which we know because it made the news and also we later got an email from someone saying "that whore chick's myspace profile is gone." Well, "that whore chick" is back online, her popularity probably just melted the MySpace servers and half the internet. So, no, she didn't abandon you like like Julia Allison. Why would she, she has a new song to sell, which she just put online today!

When Did the 'Times' Get Tabloidy?

Back in more civilized times, the New York Times never once mentioned the name Jennifer Fitzgerald. That name, Times vet R.W. Apple famously explained in Spy, was "known everywhere, and it is not used." Fitzgerald was the woman who supposedly had a lengthy affair with former President George H. W. Bush. The Times never even looked into the story. "All you've got is sordid gossipy bits," explained another reporter. The first reports of Bill Clinton's alleged extramartial affair didn't name the "Arkansas employee" who made the allegations herself. (Not until the tabloid The Star used her name was it safe to also do so.) Before the Post broke the story of Judith Nathan, the Times coverage of the end of then-mayor Rudy Giulaini's marriage to Donna Hanover was obnoxiously winking. Elisabeth Bumiller only named the mayor's good friend after Rudy and the Post beat them to it. Basically, how insane is it that the Times broke the story of Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the hooker who took down Eliot Spitzer? And how insane was the story that broke it, what with its links to her MySpace profile and bizarre criticism of her "rhythm and blues" music? Arthur Suzlberger truly is "the prophet of the high church of journalism."

Int'l Prostitution Ring Stays Classy

Organizers and managers of an "international prostitution ring" called the Emperor's Club VIP are now in custody. They charged $1,000 to $5,500 for the ladies' services, and denoted how much the gals were worth by giving a one-to-seven diamond rating on their website. That's a lot of carats! Here's their website, offering "most preferred international club for those accustomed to excellence. We offer a convenient variety of services globally." Oh, wait, it's been disabled. [WNBC] Oh, wait, but semi-celebs may have offered their services there...

Sundance Whoring Prostitution Documentary on YouTube

The documentary Pleasure For Sale, about legal prostitutes in Nevada brothels, seems like it might be pretty interesting! To keep up in this 2.0 world, premium cable channel Sundance took a page from HBO's playbook and put a teaser up on YouTube. That's where all the kids are at! Charming how they tagged it: "beautiful," "sexy," "hot," "lust." Catering to the wankers of the world, perhaps? After the jump: a working lady talks about how it feels to be confined to her bawdy house, in order to preserve the integrity of mandatory STD tests. Sexy hot indeed. More »

What Are You Being For Halloween?


Alex Goldberg and I went and harassed the last-minute lunch break costume shoppers outside the big Halloween store on lower Broadway. They are all being either a "pirate" or a "sex instructor" basically! Also a lot of people were being "assholes who are too important to answer one simple question." Halloween: High stress, low stakes!

How To Meet A Prostitute, Part Two

After your negotiations and your cab ride to the corner of 63rd and 2nd, you'll notice that the apartment building in which you'll apparently be having sex with a prostitute is also the home to a noted modern dance center. Perhaps you'll wonder if indeed the lady in question could be a part-time student at the school! That will turn out not to be the case. Through the window, the doorman might peer at you queerly. He's totally is in on what is going on. You'll call the number you were given and you will be told an apartment number. When you pass by, the doorman will be listening to death metal on an iPod mini.

How To Meet A Prostitute

Whenever two adults in New York exchange sex for money, each commits a Class B misdemeanor. So one might think it would be difficult to procure a sex worker. It takes about three minutes. The website of one local spot is your basic HTML slapdash job. It says that "they" would like to be with you very much and uses lots of exclamation points. There's a gallery of women, young and mostly blond and carelessly dressed. Most of the women look like they could be in The Bangles, a bit more on the side of Debbi Peterson than Susanna Hoffs.

Multitasking Prostitute Proves Working Moms CAN Have It All

We may be in the midst of a cocaine shortage here in town, but things aren't as dire upstate:

Schenectady Police have arrested a Saratoga woman in a prostitution bust and they say that woman, Linda Cook, performed sex acts on two men in front of her children and snorted cocaine off of her infant's stomach while breastfeeding him.
We've got to imagine Britney Spears feels just a little better about her parenting skills this morning.

I'm Not A Hipster Slut, But I Play One In An Indie Horror Flick

If you're a hipster, a yuppie, a slut, or an exhibitionist or can convincingly portray one (and come on, you're at least one), there may be a role for you in a new movie being filmed in Williamsburg! We've come across a casting notice for Meshuggeneh , "an indie horror film being shot on HD in Brooklyn. It deals with underground filmmakers who terrorize the pretentious hipsters and yuppies of Williamsburg. In addition, there's a subversive theatre troupe called Bruised Thespians that stage intense multi-media performances that deal with abuse." Admit it, you're curious! Go for it, baby, you're going to be a star! More »
