Hooker Ashley Dupre Dishes On Coke, Rape, And Sex With The Governor

Just when you had forgotten all about Ashley Dupre - the hot hooker from Jersey who banged former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer - she’s reemerged with two new interviews for us to ogle over. The brunette bombshell describes herself as “a normal girl” with “a lot of depth, a lot of layers.” She somehow neglects to mention that she’s got a lot of curves, too.

Ashley’s full interview with People magazine hits newsstands this week, and you can watch her chat with Diane Sawyer Friday night on 20/20. Here’s what we’ve learned so far:

  • Sex with Spitzer was “more of a transaction. Strictly business.”
  • Ashley would apologize to Spitzer’s scorned wife Silda if she could. She says, “I’m sorry for your pain.”
  • She revealed that she felt as though she “was suffocating” when she was identified as Spitzer’s call girl.
  • Ashley also divulged that she ran away to Florida at the age of 17 and partied  hard, downing entire bottles of vodka, and getting high on coke, weed, and ecstasy. During this time she was also raped. “It caused me to disconnect - with sex, with real relationships,” she says.
  • She got into prostitution in 2004 after being approached while working as a cocktail waitress. “This wasn’t any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them,” she said of her former profession.
  • Dupre says she wants to “get on with my life,” and has big plans. “I’m 23 years old,” she muses. “I want to do music, to do fashion, to write books - there’s so many things.”

Another Nerd Scores

Resident MSNBC dork-hottie Dan Abrams is apparently getting a taste of all the good stuff Elle MacPherson has to offer. The odd couple have been spotted getting cozy around NYC since early this summer; most recently they left the exclusive Waverly Inn arm-in-arm.

What’s to like about Abrams? For starters, he’s smart. The guy graduated from Duke University and Columbia Law School, and he’s the Chief Legal Correspondant for NBC News. Plus he’s a testicular cancer survivor, and we all know the ladies go crazy for a weepy survival story. Abrams has already dated actresses like Jaime Murray and Elisabeth Rohm, so he’s no newbie when it comes to hot chicks. Whether he can handle a superstar like Elle ‘The Body’ MacPherson remains to be seen, but surely Dan knows he’s got the reputation of nerds everywhere riding on this relationship. If he can score with the hottest woman on earth, why can’t we?  [Page Six. Photos: WireImage, GettyImages ]

Barack Obama: He’s Just Like Us (Maybe Even Nerdier!)

So while President-elect Barack Obama gets to know the White House and fixes that pesky economy problem, a reporter over at the Telegraph compiled a list of “50 Facts You Might Not Know” about him. Turns out, Obama maybe the coolest uncool President we’ve ever had. Check it:

  • Geek Check! Obama collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics. No word on whether he was as disappointed in Spiderman 3 as we were.
  • Barack Obama was known as “O’Bomber” at high school for his basketball skills. Umm, glad the McCain campaigners didn’t get a hold of this one earlier.
  • Barack Obama has read all the Harry Potter books. Could explain his “Cloak Of Invisibility” Exit Strategy for Iraq.
  • As a teen, Obama worked in a Baskin-Robbins. Now, he can’t stand ice cream. This is perhaps the only time we’re OK calling him Un-American.

Citizen Scandal: County Treasurer, 66, Snaps After Losing Election To College Student

Carol Elliott, incumbent treasurer of Grafton County, New Hampshire, does not lose gracefully. After 20-year-old Dartmouth student Vanessa Sievers beat Elliott by 200 votes last week, the older woman—who served for three terms—did not wish the co-ed well. “It was the brainwashed college kids that made the difference,” said Elliott. “You’ve got a teenybopper for a treasurer. I’m concerned for the citizens of Grafton County.”

Sievers, the “teenybopper” in question, is the former treasurer for the Dartmouth College Democrats and a member of the college’s Undergraduate Finance Committee, with bookkeeping and investment experience. The end of the two-year part-time position coincides with Sievers’ planned graduation, and she plans to stay in town year-round to fulfill her position’s obligations—which are signing checks, receiving the town’s money and putting it in low-risk investments. Thrilling, no?

Don’t be a sore loser, Elliott! You should support young people getting involved in local politics. Just make sure you start a Facebook club if you run again in 2010.

Billy Ray Cyrus Should Stick To Blabbing About His Own Daughter

What a week to be Billy Ray Cyrus‘ mouth. On Monday, he said that Barack Obama’s daughters Malia and Sasha “probably will” appear next year on Hannah Montana. Tuesday, the Obama camp said they’d never been asked. Naturally, Cyrus sounded a lot less confident talking to Us at last night’s CMAs.

It’s a double-edge sword for me because first of all, I have a great deal of respect for President-elect Obama. I just mentioned about them being on the show, and it snowballed.

…If the girls want to be on the show, and him and his wife think it’s a good idea, I always say, everything in life, what’s meant to be will happen…If not, it’s probably a good thing also because these girls are going to be in a unique spotlight, and they really do need to walk with certainty and care.

…I’ll leave it up to faith. I think God has a plan for everything. I have no doubt if it’s meant to be. I’ll look up and see them some time before April.

If the President-elect didn’t like the sound of this before, we’re guessing Billy’s “God’s will” talk won’t make things any better—it’s a little too Sarah Palin. Then again, the Obama girls say they want to sing and act when they grow up. Can you imagine telling them “no, you can’t rock out with Miley Cyrus on Disney”? Someone’s going to be huffy at the inauguration.

Cindy McCain Caught Kissing Another Dude?

Could wife-bot Cindy McCain possibly be cheating on sexy Almost-President, John McCain? That’s what the National Enquirer is saying, after their spies spotted a Cindy look-alike sucking face with a pony-tailed(!) hunk who looked like “a washed-up ’80s rock musician” at a Moody Blues concert in Tempe, Arizona. Yes, there are photos of the lip-lock, but all it really shows is a random blond gettin’ her mid-life crisis on.

We imagine that Cindy is just one of a billion icey fake blondes residing in this retirement hub, so surely the Enquirer’s spies could have their info wrong. Not to mention, she’s invested in a deep, loving marriage with a man who lives across the country and enjoys calling her a “trollop” and a “c*nt”. Surely they’ve got the wrong gal, right?  [Photo: GettyImages]

Sarah Palin’s Humiliation Gets Even Worse

While Democrats hungry for schadenfreude are going to love the latest examples of Sarah Palin’s post-election humiliation, we have to admit: no Vice-Presidential nominee has ever had to deal with this level of crap.

For instance, if John McCain had won, it’s hard to imagine that porn director Cezar Capone would be offering Joe Biden $2 million dollars to appear in a porn film. In an open letter on palinsupermilf.com, the self-proclaimed “KING of all ‘MILF’ films” invites the Alaskan governor to help him create “a glossy, adult production starring a beautiful mother recognized by all of America as well as the rest of the world -the most desirable woman over 40!” Being a gentleman, Capone will even throw in another $100,000 if Todd will cum along (yeah, we went there). “Please do not take this offer in jest, as it is completely legitimate,” says Capone. “We at Cezar Capone are prepared to put the money in escrow immediately.” For some reason, we think she’ll stick with preparing for a 2012 presidential run.

Up in Alaska, and surrounded by handlers, Palin can probably ignore this kind of mockery. But what she can’t ignore are the RNC representatives waiting for her to return all the clothes they bought her family. There might be a problem, though—according to her father, some items might be lost. Like the kids’ underwear.

Barack the Merchandise

President-elect Barack Obama will not only go down in history as the first African-American president (we’re still beaming), but also for his progressive marketing (including the works of artist Shepard Fairey) and online initiatives that have proven that you can be creative AND effective. Mindblowing!

And while the rest of the world is applauding our progressive decision, at home we’re patting our own backs for making history — and making products! Because it wasn’t just the Barack camp the got creative — Americans are nothing if not opportunistic. Here’s just a few of the ways Obama fans show their um, love — from the beautiful to the downright bizarre. — Evan G

Bonus: Barack Rolled = Tee Hee

This Internet phenomenon just keeps on rick-rolling. And we just keep on laughing.

Courtney Love Profoundly Confused About California’s Prop 8

Lots of explanations have been given for the success of California’s Proposition 8 (banning gay marriage in the state), but Courtney Love has found a new one: total f*cking incoherency and confusion. From her Myspace blog:

Current mood: bouncy

Not that incoherent, right? Only check out what she originally posted, according to Campaign Silo:

The Sarah Palin Towel Pic That Could Have Been

The post-election blame-fest is well underway in the McCain-Palin camp, and Sarah Palin is receiving the bulk of the verbal punches. McCain’s peeps are painting their VP pic as ignorant, greedy and an exhibitionist. Maybe she would have been an awesome Veep after all?

Sources say that when advisers came to her hotel room to brief her before the Republican Convention, “Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. “I’ll be just a minute,” she said.”

In honor of what is surely one of the greatest political moments to occur on American soil since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we present an artist’s interpretation of the Great Palin Towel Talk of 2008, above. History looks best when dripping wet, don’tcha think?
