New York’s Star Call Girl Was A Joe Francis Favourite On The ‘Girls Gone Wild’ Party Bus Long Before SpitzerGate

9:35AM Molly Friedman | It’s not breaking news that boinking a politician can really boost a call girl’s career, but Eliot Spitzer’s speed dial favorite Ashley Dupre is sure milking her fifteen minutes for all they’re worth (and, apparently, they’re worth a lot). Ashley, aka “Kristen,” has gone from cokehead hooker to pop star and potential Penthouse pet in under a week, and it was only a matter of time before Girls Gone Wild parolee Joe Francis dug his grubby claws into her newfound fame. After recently offering Dupre $US1 million to ride along on one of his pervy bus tours and getting denied, the annoyingly clever Francis dipped into his sticky archives and managed to dig out five-year old footage of none other than Ashley herself. To see how Ashley partied at 17, check out our clip, via TMZ, after the jump. More »

7:17AM Defamer Hollywood | While we stand by our casting choices for the inevitable movie version of the Eliot Spitzer debacle, Hollywood Reporter columnist Ray Richmond has his own bright ideas. Lots of them, in fact: he’s got a feature starring Kevin Spacey as the disgraced New York governor; a network TV movie featuring Meg Ryan as Silda Wall Spitzer; a Comedy Central film with Sarah Silverman as high-priced hooker “Kristen”; and the one we’re personally rooting for, a BET biopic of lieutenant governor David Paterson starring LeVar Burton. “Synopsis: A film about The Man Who Would Be Governor,” Richmond writes, “one that embodies the slogan, ‘When life hands you a New York governorship, make New York governorship-ade.’ ” Throw in Burton’s stylish Geordi La Forge eyewear from Star Trek: The Next Generation for the legally blind governor, and we’ll even donate our next month’s pay to the production budget. At least that should cover the props. [Past Deadline] More »

Imagining The Top Five Films In Eliot Spitzer’s Netflix Queue

5:19AM Molly Friedman | 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.
