Eliot Spitzer should run for office again, says Ashley Dupre

April 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Washington, Apr 23 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the infamous call girl who led to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer’s downfall, has said that the politician should run for office again.

Spitzer had to resign from his office after it was exposed that he met for over two hours with Dupre- the 1,000dollars-an-hour call girl and current Playboy cover girl.

But now, Dupre wants that Spitzer should be given a second chance to run for office.

“Let him run and let the people decide. Give him a fair shot. Everyone deserves a shot, right?” Fox News quoted her as saying.

However, she won’t be voting for her former trick.

“I take responsibility for being involved in it in some way. [But Silda] married a scumbag. He’s the one that made an agreement with her and made a promise, and he broke that promise,” she said.

Dupre also said she felt sorry for the long line of mistresses that have come forward in the Tiger Woods and Jesse James infidelity scandals.

“These girls are coming forward and I don’t think they understand the impact that its having, … for themselves and their future.

Its really hard to break that title [of mistress]. It effects not only them, but their family,” she said. (ANI)

When new age ‘Pretty Woman’ turned ugly in real-life

March 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Mon, Mar 29 05:17 PM

It was certainly a ‘Pretty Woman’ story turning ugly, when a Manhattan real-estate developer tried to save a wayward escort by giving her over 100,000 dollars to start a new life, but got conned in return.

Unlike Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in the popular 1990 film, Robert Brot, 57, met Lindsey DeLeon, 26, on a dating Web site in October 2008, Brot fell in love and wanted to marry her, instead, he got conned, as De Leon took the money but went back to her old tricks, he claims in a suit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court.

He knew she had two kids, was deep in debt and had turned to stripping and escort work to make ends meet, the lawsuit says.

But the divorced father of two- who runs the multimillion-dollar development firm the J Companies with his brother- wanted to help her.

“He”s got a really big heart, and he intended to help rescue her. He fell in love with a woman, and he thought he was helping her turn her life around,” the New York Post quoted his lawyer, Andrew Miltenberg as saying.

But the suit has charged that unlike those of the call girl with a heart of gold played by Roberts, DeLeon”s intentions were driven by greed alone.

“She had other ideas for him and his money,” the New York Post quoted Miltenberg as saying.

Overall, Brot said that he forked over 118,061 dollars to DeLeon during their brief affair- 105,380 dollars of which she still owes him.

He is suing for the return of the outstanding loan plus interest and legal fees.

On the other hand, DeLeon said: “I was not aware of the lawsuit. I can”t comment before talking to my attorney.” She declined to say if she had ever worked as an escort.

Ex-New York Governor Spitzer planning political comeback

September 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Sep.1 (ANI): Disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is reportedly thinking of a possible political comeback next year, several sources told The New York Post.

Less than 18 months after he left Albany in a prostitution scandal, Spitzer has held informal discussions in recent weeks about the possibility of making a bid for state comptroller or the US Senate seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand, sources said.

The hooker-happy Democrat has also discussed his own halfway-decent poll numbers in recent surveys, which have shown him more popular than Gov. Paterson, whose own numbers have tanked.

“He’s weighing it,” said one source.

But Spitzer hasn’t shown any interest in campaigning for the office he briefly held, sources said.

The sources stressed that Spitzer, who also served two terms as state attorney general before his landslide election as governor in 2006, has not engaged in any active discussions with political consultants.

Reached at his father’s real-estate firm, where he has been working since he resigned as governor last spring, Spitzer declined comment.

But a source close to him insisted, “It’s not true,” and two other close associates also insisted he was not interested in running for office again and was looking at a range of other options.

Spitzer quit in disgrace in March 2008 after he was unmasked in Manhattan federal court as “Client 9″ in a prostitution bust involving a major call-girl ring. He was revealed to have paid 4,300 dollars for a romp with escort Ashley Dupre, then 22. (ANI)

Oz mile-high club member charged with assaulting a woman

August 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Melbourne, August 26 (ANI): A member of the most notorious “mile high” club Down Under has been charged with assaulting a woman.

Lisa Robertson allegedly assaulted a woman outside a St Kilda restaurant, says a report published in the Herald Sun.

The accused previously was in the news in 2007 when Qantas sacked her from being a flight attendant, after she had sex with film star Ralph Fiennes in the toilet on a flight from Darwin to India.

And after the latest incident involving her, Robertson was arrested at her St Kilda apartment, and charged with assault.

The former call girl and undercover police officer allegedly injured an associate so badly that the latter received facial injuries, outside a Barkly St restaurant on August 16.

Police charged her with recklessly causing serious injury, and other assault related matters.

There is no information on what led to the alleged assault, reports news.com.au.

While leaving the police station, Robertson covered her face and declined to comment on the incident. (ANI)

Berlusconi calls call girl’s sex claims “coordinated mission to malign him”

June 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, June 25 (ANI): Silvio Berlusconi has blasted a call girl who claims she was paid to attend one of his parties, accusing her of being part of a coordinated “mission” to compromise his integrity.

Responding to the claims that he slept with escort Patrizia D’Addario at a party at his Rome mansion in November, he said: “Someone gave a very precise and extremely well paid mission to this Miss D’Addario.”

The Italian Prime Minister gave the response in an interview with magazine, Chi, reports The Telegraph.

The 72-year-old, however, did not elaborate on who was behind the alleged conspiracy, which has gripped Italy for the last week.

After the tycoon’s comments emerged, D’Addario, 42, immediately defended herself from the charge.

“If Mr Berlusconi has the slightest proof backing his claims he must present them to legal authorities,” she said.

“If this is not the case, he should not be making such claims,” she added. (ANI)

Canadian prostitutes getting trained for 2010 Olympics

May 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Washington, May 28 (ANI): Sex workers in Canada are getting trained for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

They are not practicing to contest in the sports events, but are just refining their media-savvy skills.

According to media reports, a Canadian agency that provides support for Vancouver’s sex workers is working up a brochure to train them on how to handle requests for photographs and interviews.

“We just want our members to feel safe. Media attention to the area can be a little less than compassionate and we don’t want them to feel like animals in a zoo,” The CNBC quoted Kerry Porth, a spokeswoman for the Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE), as telling the Canadian Press.

Tracy Quan, a former call girl and author of ‘Diary of a Jetsetting Call Girl’, said that sex workers should really think twice about doing a media interview.

She has claimed that women working in the industry need to know what they want from the interview, and be ready to bail if it’s not going the way they want it to.

“I’m not even sure why someone working in the sex industry would want to talk to the press. What would be their incentive?” asked Quan.

It’s not like they’re selling cars or running a bank, where they need the press.

The PACE brochure will inform the Canadian sex workers of their rights, such as where they can be photographed, and provide them with some tips on how to deal with aggressive media types, including letting them know that it’s OK to refuse an interview.

However, a group of prostitute activists is trying to get that changed so they can open a brothel in time for the Olympics, which could offer these women a safe place to conduct business during the games. (ANI)

Brand’s sex prank call girl Georgina Baillie strips for steamy photoshoot

May 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, May 17 (ANI): Andrew Sachs’ granddaughter Georgina Baillie has dropped her layers to pose for a steamy photoshoot.

Georgina had been at the centre of a scandal after pranksters Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross left lewd messages on the answering machine of 78-year-old Sach, bragging the former had slept with his granddaughter.

But the 23-year-old burlesque dancer, part of the controversial group Satanic Sluts, seemed to have stepped over the row and stripped off for her new racy photos.

“Georgina’s lost a lot of weight and has been concentrating on TV work. This is the first photo shoot she’s done this year and as you can see she is looking great,” News of the World quoted a friend as saying.

Her Fawlty Towers actor-grandfather revealed the two had not been on talking terms since the scandal.

He said: “She has to make changes in her life, as far as I’m concerned. She’s young, I hope she grows out of what she’s doing.” (ANI)

High-end call girl claims Eliot Spitzer almost choked her during sex

March 9, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Mar 9 (ANI): American lawyer and former politician Eliot Spitzer has landed in another scandal after a call girl revealed that he got aggressive during their sex role play and almost choked her.

Spitzer, 49, had resigned from his post as Governor a year ago after his sexual romp with call girl Ashley Dupre was revealed.

Now a high-end escort named Annie has spoken out about the date that “went a little too far” with the ex-Governor.

Annie said that she was working for madam Kristin Davis when she met Spitzer, who was then state attorney general at The Corinthian on E. 38th St.

“He booked two hours,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

“I don’t remember exactly how much he was charged, but definitely over 1,000 dollars an hour.

“He wanted a scenario where I was supposed to say I had just been to a self-defence class. He was supposed to respond, ‘Let’s see if you learned anything. He would be aggressive. I would have to defend myself.

“When he arrived, he took off his jacket but kept on his shirt and tie. His demeanour was nice, but I don’t remember any kissing or tenderness. He wanted to get on with the role-play. It was the first time I’d done that.

“I remember holding his wrists and him pushing back. I felt he was gauging my strength. We moved to the bed. He put his clothes neatly to the side, folding his pants. Yes, he did leave his socks on.

“I was never fully undressed. He was naked. He was perspiring a lot. He was holding me down. He pinned me to the bed. That didn’t bother me. But when he grabbed my throat that was too much. I remember trying to push myself up off the bed, which made him apply more pressure. I’ve never been worried about my safety, but I was really concerned.

“Finally, I pushed him away and got up. He hadn’t finished. But I’d had enough. I don’t think he was planning on really hurting me. He didn’t ask if I was all right. He didn’t appear to be mad, either. Maybe he had had so many experiences with other people that he could see I didn’t know what I was doing. As he was leaving, he gave me a tip,” she added.

A lawyer for Spitzer said: “This is outrageous and defamatory.” (ANI)

Recession turning US women into freelance dominatrixes

February 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Feb 8 (ANI): As the global economic crunch continues to bite people’s pockets, the economy is enduring a serious bruising – it’s ‘forcing’ women to become dominatrixes to pad their income.

“As a former call girl, I know plenty of people in the industry, and I recently spoke to several who have started doing kink work to supplement their incomes,” Tracey Quan writes in The Daily Beast.

“Though dominatrix work is considered by many to be the hardest in the sex industry, being able to avoid actual intercourse is key to its appeal to ‘everyday’ women who are just looking to pick up a little extra money,” Quan writes.

A dominatrix is a woman who subjects her masochistic sexual partner to bondage, ritualistic punishments, and other discipline. It does not mean that she has sexual intercourse with her partner, and in fact, very often the dominatrix does not sleep with her submissive, reports the New York Daily News.

Quan writes that clients are “middle-management types, small business owners, dentists, young lawyers, even a few single males who see themselves as casualties of the gig economy.”

“Sometimes the client is married and their spouse simply won’t engage in this kind of thing and if they aren’t comfortable or into it, it’s not their job to do so. Everybody is entitled to get theirs just the way they want it and a dominatrix makes that happen the best they can,” an NYU student who spent a summer working as a dominatrix told NYULocal.com.

The student, who called herself “Mistress Ava,” continued, telling NYULocal.com:

“For the client, being dominated is 100percent about sensuality but it is not about sex.

There is no sex and no nudity inside a dungeon. Sure, there are places that bend the rules and give the job a bad name but I was never once naked or even close to it, and no one ever did anything to me, period.” (ANI)

Hooker boss in Spitzer prostitute scandal sentenced to six months in prison

January 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, Jan.30 (ANI): A woman who ran former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s favorite call-girl ring, has been sentenced to six months in prison by Manhattan Federal Judge Barbara Jones.

Jones rejected prosecutors’ recommendation of a 21-to-27 month sentence for Cecil (Katie) Suwal, citing the Svengali-like power Emperors Club VIP boss Mark Brener once had over the 24-year-old.

According to the New York Daily News, Alberto Ebanks drove home the point by noting she has an out-of-the-way tattoo on her body that reads “Property of Mark Brener.”

“She became his paramour, his companion and ultimately his assistant,” Ebanks said.

Suwal, clad in a black and white pantsuit, her dark hair wrapped in a matching bow, needed more than a minute to compose herself before tearfully apologizing for her crimes. (ANI)
