NEW YORK - The collateral consequence of scandal often is newfound celebrity, and for the 22-year-old call girl involved in the Eliot Spitzer scandal, prospects are rising.

The prostitute identified in court papers as Kristen is an aspiring musician named Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Her identity was only first reported Wednesday, but already her fame is skyrocketing.

As of Thursday evening, the songs had been listened to by some 200,000. Downloads were selling for 98 cents each, though "What We Want" had previously been selling for 13 cents. Prices on the site are based on demand.

That song was also making it onto the nation's radio airwaves.

Not bad for her first day haul as americas newest sweetheart.

The Wall Street Journal has some interesting mashups of her song - the best one with Snoop Dogg’s Sensual Seduction

I wasn’t aware she was somehow dissing him. Is she?

If SNL were smart, and some lurk,
they could do worse than inviting her on.

Pbhttt... her and most of downtown New York. Ya know how many bottles of champaigne or expensive wine were opened that night in the financial districts ? They probably had to restock the Manhattan the next day.

Every politician should be polled on what they think about Spitzer’s ethics and what should be done about him.

Hard Hearted hanna...

In old Savannah, I said Savannah,
The weather there is nice and warm!
The climates of a Southern brand,
But here’s what I don’t understand:
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there,
Who’s colder than an Arctic storm,
Got a heart just like a stone,
Even ice men leave her alone!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah,
The vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Leather is tough, but Hannah’s heart is tougher,
She’s a gal who loves to see men suffer!
To tease ‘em, and thrill ‘em, to torture and kill ‘em,
Is her delight, they say,
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan,
There was Hannah pouring water on a drownding man!
She’s Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah,
The vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Talk of your cold, refrigeratin’ mamas,
Brother, she’s a polar bear’s pajamas!
To tease ‘em, and thrill ‘em, to torture and kill ‘em,
Is her delight, they say,
An evening spent with Hannah sittin’ on your knees,
Is like travelin’ through Alaska in your BVDs.
She’s Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!

Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah
She’s got the right name, The vamp of Savannah
Any time a woman can take a great big pan
And start pouring water on a drownin’ man
She’s hard hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah GA

Ohh she’s sweet as sour milk

Politicians are too busy polling girls like Ashley Dupre to worry about ethics.

I don’t think little Ashley should be celebrating just yet. The IRS might want to have a chat about some back taxes.

“Her song on her facebook web site, just made her $1,000,000.00 since yesterday! Over 1 million downloads at $.95 each.”

If true, then her first day haul was even bigger than I expected. If the artist gets the same 70% cut of the profit from the downloads like that other site, she’s made somewhere between $600,000 and $800,000 in the past 24 hours. Couple more days of this and she’ll be moving into a park avenue penthouse.

She should think this through. Do you really want your epitath to be “Here lies the whore who took down a Governer.”

FBI guy being interviewed today said that the Emperor’s Club appears to be a multi-country organized crime ring.
All Spitzer and the Ho need to do is agree to spill what they know to the feds in return for immunity from prosecution.
IRS may want to talk to the ho about back taxes, but whatever they might want to to collect from her, she’s already made it today, and then some.

Perhaps that should be America's newest sweet tart.

You really think a 22 year old drug abusing prostitute cares about her epitath at this moment of her life?

And it's a worldwide market. I hope she does it right and doesn't end
up in a ditch, broke and strung out.
