The Love Gov’s high-priced escort, Ashley Dupre, elbows her way back into the news. Read all about it in The New York Post…

Spitzer’s vixen won’t stay down
By Brian Niemietz

Ashley Dupre — the escort who toppled a governor — is sick of hiding.

Eighteen months after the scandal that took down Eliot Spitzer, the 24-year-old wants to become a singer, a mother, an author — anything but that girl.

“Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback,” she said during an exclusive interview and fashion shoot with The Post. “I’m the poster child for redemption.”

She’s recording pop songs and angling for a record deal, working on a book she calls a “cautionary tale,” and on her reactivated MySpace page, she talks about love, life and wishing “luck” to her former “Client 9.”

“What I meant by ‘I wish him luck’ is that I felt like there was hope in the news that he may be entering politics again,” Dupre said, though she declined to say whether the Luv Gov would get her vote. “If people could forgive him, they could forgive me.”

Sitting in the Midtown hot spot HighBar, Dupre scoffed at the idea she ever sought out fame.

“I didn’t ask for it, but now that I have it, it’s up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now,” she said.

Eliot Spitzer’s hooker tells New York ladies ‘you’re no better than me!’

The woman at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal has sent out a message to New York ladies saying, ‘You’re no better than me!’

Ashley Dupre, 24, who responded to a front-page Post exclusive about Spitzer contemplating a return to office, said that she was tired of people looking down on her.

“Get real and get over yourself,” the New York Post quoted her as telling all the women out there who “just love to judge”.

“Let me say this — most girls, to varying degrees, of course, want to be pampered and have nice shoes, designer handbags and gorgeous clothes,” Dupre wrote in a blog posted on hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons’ Global Grind Web site.

“I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress . . . or being short on rent money — and the guys deliver it,” she wrote.

She then took a poke at all the women who pass judgment on her, but are engaged in “dishonest relationships” of their own.

“I see this all over New York City. Some women aren’t as vindictive, but still dive into relationships with wealthy guys who they don’t love or even find attractive, but they stay in it because they have a nice home, a car and spending money,” she stated.

“They would rather stay in an unfulfilling or loveless relationship than lose that security,” she added.

Madam Davis plans to hold press conference outside Spitzer’s fundraiser

Madam Kristin Davis is planning to hold press conference outside a fund-raiser being hosted by Eliot Spitzer at his Fifth Avenue apartment for Manhattan DA candidate Cyrus Vance Jr.

And Davis’ aim behind the act is, she wants to know if Vance thinks it’’s right that she was charged with promoting prostitution, reports The New York Post.

Davis says she may hold a press conference outside the fund-raiser to ask: “Does [Vance] think it is fair and equitable that a rich, well-connected white man violated the law but avoided prosecution while an ”up-from-nothing” entrepreneurial woman did hard time on Rikers?”

It’s just innuendo, but Deus Ex Malcontent reports some insights by way of Sirius XM Satellite hosts Opie & Anthony, who were interviewing the ubiquitous Kristin Davis…

The Infamous Mr. Ed

A few minutes ago, the cast of the show on Sirius XM radio were interviewing Kristin Davis — not the one from Sex and the City, the former Manhattan Madam who spent four months in Rikers in connection with the Eliot Spitzer hooker scandal from last year. There’s been quite a bit of speculation that her operation at one time serviced another high-profile governor, besides Spitzer…

Well, during the interview, she admitted that someone she called “Governor X” employed her services at least ten times during a year-and-a-half period. She apparently wrote his name down on a piece of paper and showed it to Opie and Anthony, who then proceeded to spend the next ten minutes dropping hints that a 4-year-old could’ve deciphered.

“What, did he pay her in coal and steel?”

“I guess he had a little filly on the side.”

“Did he used to be an Eagles scout?”

Hmmm, with obvious hints like that, it appears the radio personalities were suggesting that the 2nd Luv Guv’s identity is Pennsylvania’s Democrat governor, Ed Rendell.  But I suppose only his hairdresser knows for sure.

That ubiquitous pest, Kristin Davis, can’t seem to stay out of the public eye for more than a few weeks at a time.  While the girls in her stable decide on anonymity when they chose to breach client-prostitute confidentiality, boss Kristin seems willing to name the names in full daylight.

Eliot Spitzer not my only governor – hooker who worked for Kristin Davis

Another gubernatorial sex scandal may be looming. Even as South Carolina’s Mark Sanford waits to see whether his wife, Jenny, forgives his romp in the pampas, a New York call girl could plunge one of America’s most prominent governors into a fresh hell.

In March, we told you about a high-end escort who claimed that former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer had gotten overly aggressive during some kinky role-play (a charge Spitzer’s lawyer called “outrageous and defamatory”).

Now the elegant blond courtesan, whom we’ll continue to call “Annie,” is talking about three “dates” she allegedly had with another state’s chief executive, who we’ll call Gov. X.

Though Annie’s former boss, ex-madam Kristin Davis, corroborates that Gov. X was a client, his spokesman flatly denies that the married politician has ever hired hookers.

Still, it’s hard not to be intrigued by Annie’s detailed story. She contends that, in the spring of 2006, Davis’ agency booked her for an out-of-state date with a man identified as “Michael.”

“He picked me up in an Italian sports car,” says Annie. “He was in his 30s, handsome enough to be an actor, an impeccable dresser. I wouldn’t think he’d have a problem getting girls.

“We went to a restaurant where the governor was dining at another table with two or three other men. Michael said the governor was a client of his. He introduced me to him. I thought it was odd that he’d introduce someone he’d hired, but the governor was very gracious. It was a brief meeting. Later, Michael and I went to an apartment our agency kept. We had sex.

“A couple of days later, Michael booked another appointment. He was supposed to come to the same apartment. I buzzed him in. When I opened the door, it wasn’t Michael. It was the governor. He was smiling. I knew what was happening. I was okay with it.

“He was a very standard client. He didn’t take the full hour. There was no exchange of money. Michael handled the payment.

“I had two more dates with the governor. Never in public. Always for just an hour, around dinner time. He’d arrive at the apartment in a suit. I never had a problem with him, like I did with Spitzer. He was always nice. There wasn’t a lot of conversation. It wasn’t a girlfriend experience, but he was relaxed. He was very appreciative, like I was giving him a sort of affection he wasn’t getting elsewhere. Later I found out he was married. His wife is quite prominent in her own right.” (Annie and Davis say Gov. X is free to say he didn’t pay for sex, since “Michael” took care of the bills.)

The Spitzer saga continues, as the Love Gov’s hooker booker reveals some of his personal, sex industry related habits. Is nothing sacred? Read the whole story at The Press Republican…

Lawyer: NY Gov. Spitzer met often with prostitutes
by LARRY NEUMEISTER

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer met regularly with prostitutes in multiple cities for 18 months before being identified as a client of an escort service and resigning in disgrace, a lawyer for an employee who arranged the trysts said Monday.

Lawyer Marc Agnifilo said his client, escort service booker Temeka Lewis, revealed key information to prosecutors before the March 2008 resignation of Spitzer, who was called Client-9 in court documents charging four employees of the pricey prostitution ring.

He said Lewis, who was sentenced Monday and received no jail time after cooperating with prosecutors, arranged meetings between Spitzer and prostitutes, including one who discovered he was the governor of New York when she saw him on television.

“There was a regularity to it,” Agnifilo said outside court of meetings Spitzer arranged with the Emperors Club V.I.P. escort service using various aliases including George Fox.

The lawyer said Lewis, 33, provided detailed information about the meetings such as the methods of payment, the locations of hotels, the approximate dates, the names of women the governor saw and the names used by the governor.

He said information Lewis provided helped the government conclude Spitzer hadn’t used campaign or government money for the meetings with prostitutes and thus didn’t need to be criminally charged. Prosecutors announced late last year that Spitzer would not be charged.

Agnifilo said Spitzer sometimes used postal money orders, a relatively unsophisticated way to move money around. He said the government investigated the money trail to establish Spitzer hadn’t used government money.

Agnifilo declined to be specific about how many times Spitzer met with prostitutes.

“I think the full truth put his involvement with the Emperors Club at more than sporadic,” he said.

But he nodded his head when he was asked if it was possible Spitzer might have sampled most of the more than a dozen escorts who were advertised by the service, which had a Web site and charged up to $5,500 an hour.

Law enforcement officials have said Spitzer, the millionaire heir to a New York real estate fortune, had spent tens of thousands of dollars, perhaps as much as $80,000, on the high-priced escort service’s women.

Another one of the many threads in the Eliot Spitzer scandal is tied. Read the whole story in The New York Post…

SENTENCING SET FOR SPITZER’S HOOKER BOOKER

A woman who was caught on government tapes arranging a meeting between former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and a prostitute is scheduled to be sentenced.

Temeka Lewis was scheduled to be sentenced in Manhattan on Monday. She worked for the Emperors Club V.I.P. escort service when she set up the February 2008 meeting between the prostitute and “Client-9.” Spitzer was referred to as Client-9 in court papers.

Why do I get the feeling that Kristin Davis will keep popping up for years? This annoying presence on the news landscape is going to wrest the title of ‘most overexposed annoying madam’ from the ubiquitous Heidi Fleiss.

This time, she once again breaches the time honored tradition of escort-client confidentiality. Read the whole story at AM New York…

Ex-madam: Spitzer bargained for call girl rates
by Jason Fink

No matter what the transaction, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer is apparently a tough negotiator.

The infamously hard-charging pol, who resigned last year in a prostitution scandal, used skills that served him well as governor and a top prosecutor to get lower rates for call girls, according to an ex-madam who claims he was a client.

“He was one of my more consistent bargainers,” said Kristin Davis, who ran a high-priced prostitution ring in Manhattan.

Davis, 32, who is hawking a book about her years running the $5 million business, said Spitzer, a regular customer when he was governor and attorney general, would pay $800 to $1,200 an hour for dates, the lower end of the scale, which went up to $2,500.

In her book, which is available on Davis’ Web site and excerpted in the April issue of Penthouse magazine, Davis said Spitzer, who called himself James, was “too aggressive” in trying to avoid using condoms, prompting complaints and a 2006 ban.

“He’d be a real weasel about it, too,” Davis wrote. “After the begging, pleading, and commanding didn’t work, James would pretend to relent, only to change to another approach.”

When she confronted him, Davis recalled yesterday in a phone interview, he lost his temper. “He started yelling at me, and I said that’s the kind of aggression I’m talking about,” she said.

After he was blacklisted, Spitzer booked dates under a different false name, Davis said.

A message left yesterday at Spitzer’s office was not returned. He resigned in March 2008 after it was revealed in court documents that he was “Client No. 9” for a different high-priced hooker ring.

Well, anyone who reads this blog knows that I have no particular affection for that media hog of a NY madam, Kristin Davis.  Turns out this ubiquitous hooker booker is in the weekend news once again.  This time, a couple of loose lips in her stable are kissing and telling – breaching the time-honored tradition of Escort-Client confidentiality.  A shame.

Madam Kristin Davis dated Alex Rodriguez and provided him hookers, sources claim
By George Rush

A former Manhattan madam who supplied Eliot Spitzer with hookers also counted Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez as a customer – and found him so charming she dated him herself for free, former employees of the call-girl agency tell the Daily News.

A-Rod wooed ex-madam Kristin Davis with flowers, jewelry, persistence and heated e-mails, according to the sources.

“Throughout the years, there were a number of clients that I befriended and it was not uncommon for them to want the women they can’t have whether it be the phone bookers or the madam,” Davis said.

“In regard to Alex, all I can say is our paths have definitely crossed personally and professionally.”

Davis met Rodriguez in June of 2006 in a gym in Philadelphia, shortly after she opened a branch of her call-girl service in the City of Brotherly Love, sources said.

Davis told a friend the then-married Rodriguez asked her, “What are you doing tonight?”

The shapely madam didn’t know who A-Rod was but found him “hot as hell,” she told the friend. “I said, ‘I’m having dinner with my boyfriend. But if you’re looking for someone to hang out with, here’s a number.’ I gave him my agency’s card.”

That night, Davis told a friend, Rodriguez booked a two-hour “date” with one of her girls, who met him at the Four Seasons on Rittenhouse Square.

“He gave his real name,” Davis told the friend. “The next day we found out who Alex Rodriguez was. The girl we sent freaked out. Her father (works for) another Major League Baseball team.”

Rodriguez soon became a repeat customer of one of Davis’ three Manhattan agencies, two former employees said.

In an e-mail exchange provided to The News by a former booker for Davis’ Wicked Models, Rodriguez purportedly told Davis on Nov. 17, 2006: “Thanks for setting me up with Samantha. She was gorgeous. But she is not you. When can I see you you are gorgeous . . .”

The exchange goes on:

Davis: “Hi Alex. You don’t want to see me. I’m no fun. lol. Just because your (sic) so sweet, here are some pics of me and I appreciate the compliments. Your (sic) a doll. Thanks, Kristin”

Rodriguez: “You have been playing hard to get for a year now, your (sic) killing me.”

Davis: “It’s not playing I am hard to get. Maybe you should try harder.”

Rodriguez: “Kristin, I definitely will and I love the pics. I put the one on my cell so I can look at you all the time. Alex.”

Davis: “You are too sweet. I’ll let you know when I get someone you like.”

Two former agency workers said A-Rod hired prostitutes more than a half-dozen times, often meeting them at the Four Seasons hotel on W. 57th St.

“Alex was a very nice client to talk to,” the booker said. “He didn’t like one girl we sent over there. He sent her away. He kept calling the agency.

While Ashley Dupre has largely (to her great credit) honored the time-honored tradition of the Escort-Client confidentiality, at least one call girl has some loose lips about the intimacies involved when it came to the Love Guv.

Eliot Spitzer choked her during sex, claims high-end call girl
Rush & Molloy

His political rivals used to accuse Eliot Spitzer of going for the jugular. Now a new call girl is claiming the former governor literally went for hers — claiming he wrapped his fingers around her neck during some kinky role-playing.

As the first anniversary of his resignation as governor approaches, Spitzers Emperors Club VIP plaything Ashley Dupre is still holding back on details about their romp.

But a high-end escort, whom well call Annie, has opened up to us about what she says was a date with Spitzer that “went a little too far.”

Annie says she was working for madam Kristin Davis when she met Spitzer, who was then state attorney general, at Davis apartment at The Corinthian on E. 38th St.

“He booked two hours,” says Annie. “I don’t remember exactly how much he was charged, but definitely over $1,000 an hour.

“He wanted a scenario where I was supposed to say I had just been to a self-defense class. He was supposed to respond, ‘Let’s see if you learned anything. He would be aggressive. I would have to defend myself.

“When he arrived, he took off his jacket but kept on his shirt and tie. His demeanor was nice, but I don’t remember any kissing or tenderness. He wanted to get on with the role-play. It was the first time I’d done that.

“I remember holding his wrists and him pushing back. I felt he was gauging my strength. We moved to the bed. He put his clothes neatly to the side, folding his pants. Yes, he did leave his socks on.

“I was never fully undressed. He was naked. He was perspiring a lot. He was holding me down. He pinned me to the bed. That didn’t bother me. But when he grabbed my throat, that was too much. I remember trying to push myself up off the bed, which made him apply more pressure. I’ve never been worried about my safety, but I was really concerned.

“Finally, I pushed him away and got up. He hadn’t finished. But I’d had enough. I don’t think he was planning on really hurting me. He didn’t ask if I was all right. He didn’t appear to be mad, either. Maybe he had had so many experiences with other people that he could see I didn’t know what I was doing. As he was leaving, he gave me a tip.”

A lawyer for Spitzer said, “This is outrageous and defamatory.” Madam Kristin, now on probation for promoting prostitution, says that she told Spitzer that some of her girls had complained hed gotten “rough and too aggressive” — and that he refused to use a condom.

“Define ‘rough and aggressive,’ ” Davis quotes prosecutor Spitzer as saying in her memoir (available at Manhattan Madam.com). She says he later apologized.

P.S. Annie says she also had a date with “a current governor,” not from New York. “But I’m not going to talk about that one.” For now.
