Berlusconi: 'I Did Not Pay To Have Sexual Relations With That Woman'
Well this settles it: Italian PM and noted insane corrupt horndog Silvio Berlusconi says "I've never paid a woman." So the whole "fucked an escort" thing can't possibly be true, right? Or, uh... More »

How Much a $2,000-an-Hour Hooker Actually Takes Home
Was the Page Six item about semi-famous, media-savvy retired escort Natalie McLennan—and the anonymous website that sprung up accusing her of informing on Spitzer's hooker Ashley Dupre—just a timely form of PR placement? After all, the former call girl has a book coming out November 25, The Price: My Life as Natalia, New York’s $2000 an Hour Escort. And we've got a copy of the book proposal. The tone in the excerpts is a bit flip, low on any serious, raw introspection. But if anyone is interested in the economic breakdown of how a high-class call girl makes her living—she doesn't keep nearly all of the money herself—here's her explanation of the take-home pay of a two-grand girl.

It's a Small World When You Hang Out With the Wrong People
Um, remember the retired escort we wrote about earlier, Natalie McLennan, who may or may not have had anything to do with Spitzer's hooker Ashley Dupre? Turns out, she was also cast in a play called Andy and Edie, which was—bizarrely—cast and written by rapist Peter Braunstein, the futuresexcrazyfakefireman who used to work for Women's Wear Daily. He's in jail now obviously.

Craigslist To Require Credit Card For 'Erotic Services' Ads
It's becoming a real hassle to offer sex for money on Craigslist, apparently. At first sex workers just had to think up a euphemism for prostitution, like "FULL EROTIC EXAMINATION" or "naughty sweet treat" or the cryptic "GFE" or the almost sweet "delightful relaxing time." Then, earlier this year, they had to have a working phone number, and listings dropped 80 percent. Now, under pressure from attorneys general in 40 states, Craigslist is going to require "erotic services" providers to pony up $10 for each listing, and pay with a credit card, which the police will be able to subpoena. The sex workers are already complaining, via NSFW ads. Law enforcement authorities say their real targets are pimps: More »

Sex, drugs, and violence: The 10 surprises in Henry Nicholas's indictment
Nothing former Broadcom CEO Henry Nicholas did is particularly remarkable to anyone who's enjoyed Brett Morgen's The Kid Stays in the Picture biopic about the life and times of Robert Evans. What's remarkable is that it was a technology CEO in Orange County and not someone in the abnormally amoral entertainment industry. As cynical and jaded as we may be about the foibles of the ultrarich of the Valley, even we were surprised by some of the stunts detailed in the allegations, if only for their naïveté. 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?" More »

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."

Imagining The Top Five Films In Eliot Spitzer's Netflix Queue
In case you hadn't heard, recently resigned NY governor Eliot Spitzer likes call girls. A lot. And while we're still busy casting the inevitable movie of the week, our slideshow-obsessed friends over at Us dove into their archives to reminisce on the hooker-laced pasts of Hugh Grant, Eddie Murphy and escort king Charlie Sheen, who've all been caught with their pants (and dignities) down. But call girls don't always come in the form of silicone sketchballs straight out of the Bada Bing. Sometimes they have hearts of gold and charisma as thick as the air on the 101! If they're played by stars, that is. We dove into our own archives and selected our top five films that revolve around the World's Oldest Profession, flicks that will surely be making their way onto Eliot Spitzer's Netflix queue in no time.

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 »

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.

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 » -

Pretend Prostitutes vs. Rent Inflation
Way off our geographical radar, but this has such obvious local application. Tel Aviv "creative co-op" VeeCee has launched a campaign to bring down inflated rents by infesting overpriced neighborhoods with cardboard prostitutes. "More whores in your neighborhood = lower rent prices." Flickr set here, "making of" video here. Hard to argue with the premise, though one could insert a caveat about the quality of the whores, plus context. Nominally "real" but essentially cardboard whores certainly haven't hurt rents in the Meatpacking District. More »
