$$$ Late Breaking: Is Ashley Dupre (aka Eliot Spitzer's Kristen) lying about her age? We've heard stories from people who claim to have known her for many years. Something doesn't add up with this claim that she is only 22. This profile from Reunion.com suggests she might be 32. Update: New York Magazine says public records indicate the same thing.

Like trading, you have to be fast. I saw it - it was funny.

Her mom claims she's 46 and calls her daughter 22 in the NYT article. So either NYMag is wrong or the mother's also a lying whore

Her mother's other comments indicate she's delusional and grandiose. Not what you would call a "reliable source."

Something worth noting is that while she was born a Youmans, her last name is legally DiPietro through adoption.

After some sleuthing, it has led me to believe that if the NYmag's article is predicated on the reunion.com profile that they need some better reporters. She's actually from Whitehouse Station, NJ, a simple google search would have told them that.

Is spitzer going to sue Rmperor's VIP Club for misrepresentation and settle with them for $10MM and force their CEO out?

Brian Carney on Gary Gygax:

"But at the risk of sounding like a geek and a curmudgeon at once, in my day we did it the old-fashioned way. In all likelihood we were in somebody's basement, sitting around a table with our dice at the ready and our character sheets in front of us. My brother John was the dungeon master, and he was a good one, too."

Somehow, Carney has never disclosed that he was a Dungeon Master and "a good one, too."

From the Video that's no longer there but can be found by search for "spitzer girl resigns" on you tube:

alabama hot pocket: the art of seperating the vagina lips and taking a shat inside (and possibly having sex with it afterwards)

"Shanya decided her vagina needed some lube so her boyfriend performed an alabama hot pocket."

"the view from an escort service" was stupid.
so this woman was a booking agent at an escort service and from this deduces that almost all married men hire escorts? that's like a guy at a ford dealership announcing that everybody buys fords, and he knows because he sells them all day to all kinds of people.
and i love the description of the average wall streeter worth "hundreds of millions"...

"It's getting clearer and clearer that Gasparino -- a malignant, uninformed thug -- is becoming a liability to CNBC."

Publicly calling Gasparino a malignant uninformed thug is not a good thing to do.
