There is only one thing on her mind right now, and that would be Bling.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

At that price, she seems more reasonable at a dollar a pop.

Penthouse is already after her. That’s even more bucks.

The IRS might want to have a chat about some back taxes.

So, laws and morals mean less than taxes. What a country!

[MetaThought]

Thats way way better than: "Here lies a whore." or perhaps even "Here lies a whore who died penniless."

I listened to her song on her MySpace. I thought it was actually pretty good.

Wonder if American Idol would kick her off? :)

She will blow the money in no time.

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.

Hope she doesn't blow it all on lollipops. But seriously, I hope she rakes in the cash. I don't consider her a bad person. And I consider her an escort, not a prostitute. If she's smart, she collected the money up front before discussing any activities. If a guy wants to pay a girl for her time, and then she agrees to have sex, I don't see how that could be successfully prosecuted.

There is a vacancy this week after the lapdancer guy was kicked off.

They haven't kicked off Paula Abdul, so how could they justify kicking off Ashley Dupre? Ashley is younger than Paula, probably smarter than Paula, probably more talented than Paula, and perhaps she'll even end up richer than Paula!

That's only because Larry Craig was in a public restroom and couldn't get to a phone to vote.

[ccmay]

Way, way better looking than Paula too.

Here’s a link to her page on Amie Street a website for “musicians”.

LOL!!!!

Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing on us.

Corruption at it’s finest.

Welcome to the new America. Heh. I told people this yesterday. They were all feeling sorry for her - claiming that she’d “ruined her life.”

“Ruined her life?” I said, “by this time tomorrow this girl is going to be rich.”

Rich and famous - the New American Dream. However it happens.

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.

That's going to do "wonders" for her "early retirement" prospects.

Death by "overdose" inside of 24 months?

I’ve been wondering about how many young women may be drawn into being a high end hooker by this event. This young woman will make a fortune from centerfolds and telling her story, and maybe even marry well from this. What a bad example.
