New York, March 16 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, found that posing for Playboy could be dangerous when her hair caught fire during a photoshoot, it has emerged.

The incident took when Dupre, 24, was lying nude on the ground surrounded by candles for one of the Stephen Wayda photos that will appear as an eight-page spread in the May issue of Playboy.

“A few strands of her hair caught on fire at one point because of all the hairspray,” the New York Post quoted a source, as saying.

The insider added: “The stylist, Jorge Serrano from the Chris McMillan Salon, was the first one to notice and rushed over to put it out with his hands.” (ANI)

September 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Melbourne, September 17 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, walked the runway during New York Fashion Week.

The 24-year-old made the appearance at Bahar Shahpar’s fashion show, according to Jill Fehrenbacher at Ecouterre.

“It’s a rare rare thing when the tabloid world crosses into the world of eco-fashion, and one that might bring a little more attention to Bahar’s already-provocative line than would normally have been the case,” the Courier Mail quoted Fehrenbacher as saying.

Dupre was dubbed as an ‘informant’ during the scandal that saw the politician patronising a prostitution service that subsequently led to his resignation from the post of New York Governor.

Eighteen months after the storm, Dupre has been recording pop songs and wooing a record deal. (ANI)

September 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, September 14 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, is tired of hiding and wants a comeback.

The 24-year-old was dubbed as an ‘informant’ during the scandal that saw the politician patronising a prostitution service that subsequently led to his resignation from the post of New York Governor.

And eighteen months after the storm, Dupre, who is recording pop songs and wooing a record deal, is seeking to get her life back on track.

“Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback. I’m the poster child for redemption,” the New York Post quoted her as saying.

Dupre, who is also working on a book she calls a “cautionary tale,” further laughed at the idea that she was after the limelight.

She added: “I didn’t ask for it, but now that I have it, it’s up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now.” (ANI)

Car of model who revealed Berlusconi’s sexcapades set aflame

June 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

London, June 26 (ANI): Italian police has opened an investigation after a car owned by Barbara Montereale, the 23-year-old model who claimed that Silvio Berlusconi slept with a prostitute, was found burnt out outside her home in Modugno, near the southern port of Bari.

Carabinieri officers claimed that someone had forced open Honda Jazz’s door and thrown petrol or other flammable material onto the front seats, before setting it alight, reports The Telegraph.

Montereale made headlines after she alleged that she was invited to a party at the Italian prime minister’s mansion in Rome in November, at which a high-class call-girl, Patrizia D’Addario, 42, slept with the prime minister.

The 72-year-old billionaire is embroiled in a host of scandals from his links to an aspiring teenage model, Noemi Letizia, 18, to a messy and potentially expensive divorce from his wife of 20 years, Veronica Lario.

D’Addario told last week that she had gone twice to Berlusconi’s Rome residence on the promise of earning 1,700 pounds. (ANI)

Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre: Yoga saved my life

March 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

New York, March 12 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, has revealed that yoga sessions have helped her find “inner strength.”

The 23-year-old credited yoga classes for providing her with the strength to face the tempestuous row that saw Spitzer’s resignation from his post of New York Governor last year.

“The past year has obviously been very difficult for me,” the New York Post quoted her, as saying.

“Yoga has really helped me turn it into a huge learning experience. I’m working hard to take what I went through and turn it into something positive. Yoga helps me focus,” she added.

The ex escort, who has been keeping a low profile since the storm, revealed she snubbed offers from Penthouse and Playboy saying she was “not the person that the media created”.

Hoping to pen a tell-all-book, she added: “I’d really like to tell my own story on my own terms. I’d love to be able to help people work through their own issues.” (ANI)
