A New Way For Times Reporters To Track Their Own Status [The Workplace]
The New York Times launched its "social networking" feature TimesPeople months ago for no particular reason, and with no particular effect. Back then even top editor Bill Keller wasn't using it. But now he is! You know what this means, don't you? It's one more way for suckup Times reporters to track who the boss is favoring. Almost as good as looking at the front page! So what is Keller recommending? Let's see: Guess what kids: four of Bill Keller's five recommended stories have appeared right here on Ga

Leibovitz Shock: Miley Photog to Shoot One-Year-Old! [Scandal]
Terrible celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz has been documenting the development of the innocent young New York Times Building, and tomorrow she is going to drape it in a sexy sheet and photograph it. So watch out! She's going to do this in a helicopter, flying well below standard FAA restrictions, and then she'll shoot some wolves. They had to write a letter to the neighbors apologizing in advance for having a famous controversial celebrity photographer hanging around in a helicopter all day while they

Who Still Laughs At Eliot Spitzer [Celebrity Science]
For the most part, it would seem, Eliot Spitzer lives a remarkably palatable life, given that he was humiliated and forced to resign as New York governor just six months ago in a prostitution scandal. Spitzer's marriage is intact; he has plenty of well-paying work to do at his father's real estate firm; and he is able to run through Central Park and walk around the city because " he hasn’t gotten a lot of negative stuff out in public," an old friend told the Times. Spitzer has even received well-wishes fr

Washingtonienne Jessica Cutler Engaged [Gossip]
Remember Washingtonienne Jessica Cutler? She was the young oversharing blogger who got fired from Capitol Hill because she blogged up a storm about her after-work sexual exploits—much of it with older, well-known politicos, some of it paid. Sample blog excerpts: "W = a sugar daddy who wants nothing but anal. Keep trying to end it with him, but the money is too good." She got famous on Wonkette and outed. She turned the debacle into a respectable-selling novel, The Washingtonienne, posed for Playboy, w

Well, When Your Use of Yahoo Mail is Widely Publicized...
After her decision to use personal e-mail accounts, instead of official Alaska state e-mail for state business (perhaps to circumvent subpoenas!), has been widely publicized, of course computer hackers would break into one of Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo mail accounts with screenshots posted on WikiLeaks (also on Gawker). And of course the McCain-Palin campaign issued a statement, calling the matter a "shocking invasion of the governor's privacy and a violation of law." The FBI and Secret Service are curr

There's Love for the Sun; Spitzer Calls Paper 'Spectacular'
The New York Sun published a story today that quoted ex-politicians and a few semi-retired journalists saying that it would be a terrible thing if the newspaper closed later this month. In his first public interview since resigning, Eliot Spitzer says, "The Sun has been a spectacular addition to the city's political discourse and is one of the finest papers in terms of editing, writing, and analysis that one can find anywhere." (The Sun was one of the few outlets sympathetic towards Mr. Spitze

Eliot Spitzer To Lecture Everyone Again [Books]
New York magazine broke news of a new gig for Silda Wall Spitzer, wife of the disgraced, whoring former governor: The former corporate attorney will try and "recruit new investors" (good luck with that) for a hedge fund run by some of her husband's old friends. It's a living, and is already helping her look less victim-y and dependent. Less wisely, Silda's husband is thinking about writing a book. Not one that grapples with the hooker thing and maybe clears the air, allowing him to walk past construction si

Okay So I’m a Little Obsessed with This Whole Thing About Sarah Palin’s Pregnant Teen Daughter
There are very few things that can get me genuinely interested in anything political. In fact, I had previously believed that there was nothing that could get me genuinely interested in anything political. This year, however, has proven me wrong. There are two things, at last count, that can get me genuinely interested in politics: hookers and teen pregnancies. Since the Eliot Spitzer scandal has died down, I am now thoroughly obsessed with Sarah Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Bristol, and the child

Elsewhere: Palin's Email, Silver's Warning, Blaming Spitzer
Sheldon Silver said of the Wall Street crisis, "It will affect our ability as a state to fund essential infrastructure projects, schools, and our higher education system.” He also expressed willingness to call the Assembly back to Albany. In "certain circles," according to Liz, Eliot Spitzer is being blamed for Wall Street's woes. Jim Wyne, who lost the Staten Island Republican Congressional primary with about 40 percent of the vote, is going to run as a write-in. Con Ed and anothe

As The Stock Market Tumbles, Call Girls Reap The Rewards
Six months after a sex scandal ousted Eliot Spitzer from office, the New York governor turned “lov gov” is working in real estate, still with his wife Silda, and wondering how it all went so wrong. Meanwhile, call girls are back in the spotlight—and working harder than ever as Wall Street takes another tumble.  According to Columbia researcher and call girl expert Sudhir Venkatesh, working girls may benefit from the nation’s latest financial troubles.

Rush & Molloy: Memoir has Ashley Dupre hook
Eliot Spitzer's favorite hooker, Ashley Dupre, may be wilder than even the ex-guv suspected, according to a former top escort who says she used to turn tricks with her. Natalie McLennan, who used to make $2,000 an hour working under the name Natalia, plays coy in her new memoir about her supposed acquaintances with rockers Lenny Kravitz, Fred Durst and photographer Peter Beard. But she spares no detail when it comes to Dupre. "I don't mind taking my clothes off," McLennan quotes Dupre as saying when t

Paterson and the National (Fake) News Spotlight
Governor David Paterson is set to appear on the Colbert Report tomorrow, according to his official schedule. Paterson's predecessor Eliot Spitzer appeared on the show, and tried to out-funny the faux-conservative anchor, leading to a profoundly unamusing segment. In practical terms, it should be a chance for Paterson to grab some of the national exposure he sort of missed out on at the Democratic convention last week, at which a) Chuck Schumer forgot to introduce him at a breakfast in front of the New York

Spitzer: Out of Public Office, But Still Feisty
The NY Times checked in on former governor Eliot Spitzer six months after his resignation from office. Though remorseful about what he's put his family through, he's still got some spark. Apparently an August Times article, featuring his successor David Paterson's critical thoughts on Spitzer's reign, prompted him to call a Paterson aide and demand a public apology, allegedly "issu[ing] threats, veiled and unveiled." Spitzer is working for his father's real estate business; when recently asked him how he

ELLIOT SPITZER HOOKER ASHLEY DUPRE DIANE SAWYER 20/20 INTERVIEW VIDEO
Diane Sawyer interviewed, Ashley Dupree, the hooker of disgraced NY Governor Eliot Spitzer on a special edition of 20/20. Ashley Dupre wore a conservative outfit during the chat and did her best not to look like the Girls Gone Wild hooker she is in real life.  It's pretty interesting that the same hooker who is cashing in on her sex scandalous 15 minutes of fame is now saying "don't call me a prostitute." Ashley Alexandra Dupre now prefers to say she is a former "escort&

Former Governors Cuomo, Pataki and Spitzer Hope the NY Sun is Saved
The NY Sun, which announced its future was uncertain last week, has been racking up support from prominent people. Not only do Mario Cuomo and George Pataki sing the Sun's praises (Pataki says it's "the best paper in New York" while Cuomo said, "I like understanding from the op-eds and editorials the conservative view of things"), Eliot Spitzer gives his first public comments since his scandal: "The Sun has been a spectacular addition to the city's political discourse and is one of the finest papers in te

The Escort Who Says She Trained Ashley Dupre
Meet Natalia McLennan, a former escort who says she actually trained Eliot Spitzer's call girl, Ashley Dupre. She was one of the most expensive call girls in the world, and you won't believe what her going rate was! "I was the ultimate New York escort," Natalia tells ET. "Clients [paid] $2,000 an hour for me. It was great -- and I had a two hour minimum." As for her take on Ashley and Spitzer, she says, "I don't understand why he made the choices that he made. He's a public figure and he's married with th

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. We thought it was a good sign and predicted that her public outing meant that she was done hiding and would reclaim her spot in the world of charity committees.  Turns out, we were wrong--Ms. Spitzer was preparing for a much greater comeback. In fact, by the time she made an appearance at Michael's in October, she was proba

Ashley Dupre is an Escort, Not a Prostitute
“I think that prostitution is only about sex, whereas an escort… is more … it’s time spent. It’s a lot more than that.” - Ashley Dupre In an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC’s 20/20, the hooker who serviced New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer opened up about the scandal that ended his career and made her a celebrity. She dispensed many deep thoughts such as the one above.

How Long Until Ashley Dupre Becomes a Handbag Designer?
Ashley Dupre, the hooker who serviced former NY governor Eliot Spitzer, was on 20/20 last night telling her side of the story.  I’m always suspicious of people who cry without the presence of tears.  She absolutely seemed fake and scripted to me.  I love the way Diane Sawyer looks at her.  She communicates “Wow, you are really fucking stupid” without even saying a word.  Anyway, Dupre says she’s intelligent but she also didn’t know she was screwing the governor of NY.
