The New Jersey beach, that is.

She ain’t no Annette Funicello.

From CNN:

The call girl involved in the sex scandal with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit Monday suing the founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video series for more than $10 million. In the complaint filed in Miami, Florida, Ashley Alexandra Dupre says she was vacationing in Miami Beach when she was approached by agents and representatives of the defendant, Joe Francis, and offered alcoholic drinks. While intoxicated, Dupre was persuaded to expose her breasts and then told to sign a release form, according to a statement from her legal counsel, Richard C. Wolfe. Wolfe contends that Dupre “was 17 years old and therefore not legally competent to enter into a contract with the defendants.”

In March, Francis was negotiating to pay Dupre $1 million to appear in the “Girls Gone Wild” magazine and on the company’s touring bus. The deal fell through when Francis found he already owned video footage of Dupre.

“But I think it’s ironic that she charged Gov. Spitzer $2,000 for sex and she wants to charge me 10 million for taking some naked pictures of her,” Francis told CNN. “I feel like I’m getting a raw deal.”

Oooh, mama!

Having offered Ashley Alexandra Dupré one million U.S. dollars to do a Girls Gone Wild shoot, Joe Francis has now rescinded the offer once he found out that she’s already in the GGW archives!

Source: Hollywood Today (and many others):

“Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis called off a deal to pay Ashley Dupré $1 million to appear on camera. Apparently, the call girl at the heart of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal had already performed sexually on camera for GGW before she was famous.

A statement released by Francis’ company on Tuesday claimed that Dupré, whose legal name is Ashley DiPietro, spent a week filming lesbian sexual encounters and other nude material for “Girls Gone Wild” in 2003, while she was in Miami celebrating her 18th birthday. At least seven tapes have been found in the vaults. The statement claimed that Dupré decided to film the scenes on the company’s famous tour bus after having a spat with a friend and getting kicked out of her hotel and that she signed all release forms, giving them the right to market the video.

“We were surprised to find Ms. Dupré in our archives,” said Francis. “She’s like a cloud that keeps circling back over the landscape.” According to Francis, the footage will be offered for sale shortly. The now-defunct $1 million offer had been for Dupré to appear unexposed in a magazine spread and while traveling with the company’s tour bus in a future production.

Last week, “Hustler” publisher Larry Flynt announced he had offered Dupré $1 million to pose nude for his magazine. It is unclear if Flynt’s offer still stands.

Also, the NY Post had a few photos of Dupré gettin’ down at Level V (meatpacking district) last Feb:

And where the hell did these come from:

This just in - my next door neighbor, my uncle, and the guy that runs the pharmacy down the street all apparently have pictures of Ashley Alexandra Dupré.

The hooker who brought down New York governor Eliot Spitzer once dressed up as a cheerleader for a wild threesome with actor Charlie Sheen.

“They loved Charlie. They said he was a great guy. A great lover. “One time he had them dressed up like cheerleaders, chanting ‘Charlie! Charlie! He’s our man. If he can’t do it, nobody can!’” Itzler added Sheen also liked to pretend to be a porn film director and got the women to act out various lesbian scenes for him. Sheen, who has admitted using hookers, denied the story when it broke two years ago, but Itzler once again insisted it was true.

Gawker has a gallery set up, too, with a few extra photos you might not have seen. This one is interesting:

The Wall Street Journal talks about “The Entrapment of Eliot” :

There is no hard evidence that Eliot Spitzer was targeted for investigation, but the story of how he was caught does not ring entirely true to many experienced former prosecutors and current criminal lawyers.

…the movement of the amounts of cash required to pay prostitutes, even high-priced prostitutes over a long period of time, does not commonly generate a full-scale investigation.

We are talking about thousands, not millions, of dollars. We are also talking about a man who is a multimillionaire with numerous investments and purchases. The idea that federal investigators would focus on a few transactions to corporations — that were not themselves under investigation — raises as many questions as answers.

Once federal authorities concluded that the “suspicious financial transactions” attributed to Mr. Spitzer did not fit into any of the paradigms for which the statutes were enacted, they should have closed the investigation…but the authorities expanded it, because they had caught a big fish in the wide net they had cast. In this case, they wiretapped 5,000 phone conversations, intercepted 6,000 emails, used surveillance and undercover tactics that are more appropriate for trapping terrorists than entrapping johns.

In this case, if the serendipitous bank audit really led federal agents to Mr. Spitzer, and Mr. Spitzer led them to the Emperor’s Club, and federal prosecutors really wanted to get the Club, they could easily have sent an undercover cop to pose as a john, instead of tapping phones and reading emails — tactics designed to catch and embarrass Mr. Spitzer with his own recorded words, which could be, and were, leaked to the media. As this newspaper has reported: “It isn’t clear why the FBI sought the wiretap warrant. Federal prostitution probes are exceedingly rare, lawyers say, except in cases involving organized-crime leaders or child abuse. Federal wiretaps are seldom used to make these cases . . .”

Spitzer’s Alleged Singing Hooker No Andrea True … But She Could Have a Hit:

She’s not exactly Andrea True, and “What We Want” is no “More More More,” but Ashley Dupre’s MySpace recording could turn out to be a hit. (Andrea True, of course, was the purported ’70s porn star who had a smash disco dance hit with “More More More,” a record that contained the refrain, “How do you like it; how do you like it?”)

Dupre’s lone MySpace entry, “What We Want,” is not as catchy, but it does have the thumpy repetitive set-up that marks most dance hits of this era. Over at amiestreet.com, you can download “What We Want” and another Dupre track, “Move Ya Body,” the latter for a mere 65 cents. That record actually has a better hook, and it’s less expensive. So far, the two tracks on that site have racked up 90,000 listens, according to the on-site counter.

Lew Rockwell comments on the irony and hypocrisy surrounding Eliot Spitzer here and here:

… he has been prosecuting sex-trade rings for years. He called prostitution “modern-day slavery.” His law prosecuting men who hire prostitutes came into effect in November 1, 2006. And yet he is said to have shelled out as much as $80,000 for prostitution services…

Finally, regarding Silda, a girl-in-short-shorts says:

Oh how the feminist-identified ladies and metrosexual chuckleheads are so appalled that Elliot’s wife is pulling a Tammy Wynette.

… The Southern Girl came north to conquer the world, and was briefly distracted when the romance bug bit. In law school she married Peter Stamos, who now operates the three billion dollar private investment fund SterlingStamos, and divorced him twenty-nine days later…. it demonstrates the girl is quite capable of summarily dumping a dude when its called for.

I think we can rest assured she has some ideas on what the appropriate penalty is for an upright, uptight, cumwrong blockhead husband.

Finally, here’s Jim Cramer on the verge of crying like a little bitch over the whole thing:

Wow, Cramer - I had no idea. NO IDEA!
