Ashley Alexandra Dupre: Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the “high-priced hooker” at the center of the Eliot Spitzer call girl scandal, has signed with Violator Management as she embarks on the next phase of her career. Violator, led by veteran manager Chris Lighty, has helped steer the careers of rappers like 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and Mobb Deep. The deal includes Dupre’s anticipated memoirs, which she’s reportedly working on now, and will no doubt segue into the music world, as Dupre has made it a point in interviews to mention that her goal is to make it big in the music industry. Following the scandal, Dupre’s MySpace page was besieged by 9 million pages views and more than 3 million listens for her singles “Move Ya Body” and “What We Want.” Despite her illegal past occupation, Dupre was granted immunity after testifying against Spitzer, who stepped down as Governor of New York.

BUSTA RHYMES SIGNS WITH UNIVERSAL
Fans don’t care as long as they hear the music and get a hot album, however you really have to admire Busta’s business sense and ability to still stay relevant in the game. Like Common, Busta has been releasing albums since 91′. Being able to survive 17 years in the most fickle artform known to man isn’t easy, and it isn’t down luck. So how many labels has Busta been signed too? Not as many as Mobb Deep, check the stats…. A few years ago, it was considered to be a d

Real talk…I didn’t know how my interview with Krispy Kream and Rah Almillio, the siblings collectively known as The Knux, was going to go. Usually, an artist’s music is indicative of their personality (or lack thereof). But musically, the duo from New Orleans is refreshingly unpredictable. For many Hip-Hop interviews, I chug a shot of espresso and brace myself for yet another drug kingpin-turned-rapper background story. Not so with The Knux. Their self-produced debut album, Remind Me I

Silda Wall Spitzer Signs On to Lure Hedge Fund Investors
Last we heard of Silda Wall Spitzer, she was back to lunching at Michael's with her old friends, gracefully leaving that messy little scandal involving a hooker and her husband behind.

Ashley Dupre 20/20 Video Interview
Let me start by saying that if a cross-eyed mouse mated with a horse, their spawn would be sexier than Ashley Dupre. Ashley also bares a striking resemblance to a gopher-toothed mouse; it’s distracting, and Eliot Spitzer deserves a refund. In fact, all of her clients should get some kind of tax write-off for banging this fug bitch. This homewrecker is as dumb as they come. How can you not know who the governor of your state is? It’s also cheap when someone signs on to do a tell-all interview
