The Albany Times Union has uncovered a six-page document that shows how an investigation by North Fork Bank brought down former New York governor Eliot Spitzer when he tried to conceal a $5,000 wire transfer to an escort agency.
As previously noted, a huge, awesome interview with The Original LovGuv Eliot Spitzer went up on TED-like website Big Think, and in it, Spitzer gets candid on a number of subjects. Via NYDN, though, the best? The socks-during-sex question.
Police in Everett, Wash., have broken up a prostitution ring operating out of an espresso stand. The baristas were the prostitutes. Welcome to the future.
The community-oriented group ACORN became quite the political target during last year's election. Because, you know, they're brown and poor and conservatives viewed them as a leftist cog in the system. But could the right be, well, right?
Sunday's Daily News featured a gossip item in which a hooker who worked for the same escort agency frequented by Eliot Spitzer claims that she serviced another sitting American governor on three occasions. Who could it be? Let's speculate recklessly!
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...
China is like some crazy backwards Opposite Wonderland! There are so many more men looking to get married than there are eligible women that overenthusiastic dudes are constantly getting scammed out of their "bride prices." Nevada has a solution!
ShamWow! guy Vince Shlomi was arrested for a bloody fight with a tongue-biting prostitute in Miami. Now The Smoking Gun has the police photos of both victims, and the crime scene. They're ugly.
Former alleged Spitzer hooker #2 Kristin Davis: "I got the best response to my escort ad's in New York magazine. They're expensive, but that's where many of my clients got my phone number." [Steppin Out]
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
Secret Diary of a Call Girl will premiere on Showtime this summer, based on the anonymous British memoir with the same name, authored by "Belle du Jour." Not to be outdone, HBO and Sex and the City's Darren Star plans to shoot a pilot for former working girl Tracy Quan's novel, Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl.…
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…
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…
