Penguin Group paid $350,000 for a book about former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's rise and comeuppance (ahem), to be written by Fortune's Peter Elkind, according to a report in the Observer. But better still, there's going to be a movie! In case, you know, visualizations of Spitzer having sex weren't horrifying enough when confined your imagination. Writes the Observer, "Filmmaker Alex Gibney... is working on a Spitzer documentary, the release of which will be timed to the publication of the book." A documentary? Meh. Spitzer's life calls out — screams out, really, in ecstasy — for filthy fictionalization. And of course Larry Flint and Hustler are already on the case with Gov Love: The Elliott Splitz-Her Story, the safe-for-work trailer for which is after the jump.

Oh, excellent, poor Joe Francis and his Girls Gone Wild franchise will now almost definitely not have to pay any damages for releasing a Hooker Gone Wild video featuring former Gov. Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre, because he has produced a video of Dupre totally consenting to the whole thing. The video was filmed just outside a shower, logically, and Dupre looks almost definitely drunk. Also, she's only 17.

Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre can sexually exploit herself just fine, thank you, and doesn't need any help from Girls Gone Wild, the video company she is now suing in federal court in Miami. Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis had offered Dupre $1 million to pose for a nude video, but rescinded the offer when he found footage of a 17-year-old Dupre in his archive of drunken teen nudity. He repackaged the footage as Hooker Gone Wild, and Dupre is accusing Francis of marketing the video in a way that makes it sound hotter than it actually is, i.e. properly fulfilling his duties as Chief Poontang Officer at Girls Gone Wild:

Ashley Dupre is one step closer to her big dream of being a famous singer instead of the most famous prostitute to service former Gov. Eliot Spitzer. She totally got signed by diva Mariah Carey's manager! Well, her ex-manager, at least. Before a big falling out. But he stills reps this singer called Mika who maybe you've heard of. And according to one anonymous Daily News source, there's been "quite a bit of interest" from record labels in Dupre. Or, if you believe the other anonymous source, "every label passed." Ugh! Seriously, who do you have to blow in this town to get a straight answer about your record demo? [Daily News]

The Post today found a second Eliot Spitzer hooker. No, not Kristin Davis, she was the last second Eliot Spitzer hooker, supposedly, who maybe the Post would like us to forget about? Anyway, this new hooker is unnamed, and this time she's outed by "law enforcement sources," and her story will make your involuntary visualizations of Spitzer's sex sessions (no? just me?) even more uncomfortable:

Eliot Spitzer's favorite call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, has finally hired a PR firm. Why she waited so long, we have no idea. If she wanted help fending off media coverage, she would have done well to hire somebody as soon as the story broke; likewise, if she's planning on capitalizing on the scandal to build her own personal brand, she'll need to strike while the iron is hot. Which was about three weeks ago. The Daily News reported that she hired Susan Blond Inc., an entertainment-heavy NYC firm whose client list has included Ice Cube, Britney Spears, David Bowie, and Criss Angel, among many others. I smell a second-rate music career about to be launched! So who is Susan Blond? An Andy Warhol theory come to life.

• Is 30 Rock the new Saturday Night Live? Tina Fey, SNL alum and 30 Rock creator, is talking about bringing onto the show that whore chick Ashley Dupre and also that less-insane-by-the-day singer Britney Spears. Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan don't bring enough crazy to the party? Really?

It's so annoying when inaccurate figures are repeated so often that they become settled data points. A case in point: it's now widely assumed that Eliot Spitzer, the whoremongering Governor of New York, paid $4,300 or even $5,000 for an hour of an escort's time. Wrong! Spitzer did indeed pay $4,300, and he applied a pre-existing credit of some $400, according to the FBI affidavit, making for a total expense of $4,700; but $200 of that was a tip, and $1,500 was on account. So the cost of an individual session with "Kristen"-the girl Spitzer saw in February-was $3,000. Given that the Governor was entitled to four hours, that works out at a more modest $750 per hour-not quite the extravagance that has so colored Spitzer's reputation, and prompted such manufactured shock in the media.

Breaking: Young people are more used to being filmed than earlier generations! And in fact they feel obligated to share their stories on video, so much so that they've "blurred the lines between reality and 'reality,'" according to Newsweek's new trend piece. The changes come because everyone has a camera now, as well as blogs and MySpaces to turn temporary emotions into permanent records. Good news for reality show producers, great news for Media Studies majors, but fantastic news for young people destined to become famous (and we all are totes gonna be famous, dude).

Larry Flynt is willing to pay Ashley Alexandra Dupré — the call girl who had something to do with what's-his-name from New York — $1 million to pose for Hustler. Imagine how much the Orlando Sentinel's website would have made from publishing Dupré's Girls Gone Wild photos back when Britney Spears hadn't yet made her cameo on CBS and Dupre still dominated the news cycle. With the right timing, it would have been bigger than Lindsay Lohan taking it of for New York magazine. But the Sentinel's loss can be your gain, "semantic Web" startups. The newspaper obviously blew it. The reason?

• If you missed the prior leaked stills in the Post or Orlando Sentinel, Girls Gone Wild's video of Eliot Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupre may contain some revelations; otherwise you'll feel like you've already seen it. The video is excerpted by the Post here and for sale here.

If it sometimes seems like every American will be talking constantly and forever about politicians whoring and cheating and having threesomes, until, within our sad lifetimes, the political fabric of the nation turns to ashes and our economy is paralyzed and society burned to the ground, it's because that is probably what is going to happen. In the meantime, let's all read and think about these important sexual issues some more. Here is what everyone is saying about governors having sex with people other than their wives:

Who doesn't have exclusive naughty Ashley Dupre content at this point? The Eliot Spitzer hooker appears topless (and nipple-less, thanks to silly photo editing) in the Orlando Sentinel this evening after the paper discovered it photographed her while preparing an article on video series Girls Gone Wild in 2003. The Sentinel follows in the Dupre-scooping footsteps of Us Weekly (non-nude photos), Girls Gone Wild (nude video), the Post (various, including a nudie cover photo), the Times (non-exclusive but quickly reposted MySpace pics), Daily News (cocaine allegations), Larry King (interview with an alleged Dupre pimp), nightlife impresario Steve Lewis (Dupre's celebrity boyfriend), and Gawker (cell phone video). There is surely more Dupre content lying undiscovered in laptops, cell phones and photo stashes across the country, not to mention social networks, magazine archives and random websites. Find your own EXCLUSIVE Dupre material and publish it to the world before the rest of your friends and relatives do likewise and Dupre finally and mercifully becomes passe, if she hasn't already. An oh-so-sexy sample from the Sentinel's EXCLUSIVE 16-photo gallery is after the jump.

The video Joe Francis has promised would be on the Girls Gone Wild homepage yesterday evening was finally posted this afternoon, but reveals nothing beyond what's in the stills. The Associated Press has more footage than Francis's customers, who can claim deceptive advertising if their Dupré-motivated signups don't deliver on the naughty bits. There's nothing in the members' area, the site is slow to respond, and support emails remain unanswered. Francis could be playing the tease and building anticipation. Or perhaps he's worried that after an explosive burst of traffic, the site would go down. Which is surprising, because commenter Dweezil tells us Francis's backend is fully scalable.

Upon close examination of the latest evidence, Eliot Spitzer's overpriced call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre appears to in fact be twins with—or possibly the same person as—overpriced hip hop producer Scott Storch. Have you ever seen them in the same place together at the same time? We haven't. Just think about it. The visuals really make the case; after the jump, a photographic lineup that says more than words ever could.

It was once such a heartwarming story. New Jersey local girl Ashley Alexandra Dupré goes to the big city, meets a few friends, records a hit song, and makes good. Now, posting the above video to the Web, an alleged rapist will profit off all her hard work, one $29.95 subscription at a time. Must the Internet turn everything tawdry?

Leave it to skeevy softcore baron Joe Francis to prove, irrefutably the commercial merits of digital video and online distribution. Until the advent of cheap cameras, storage and a timely way to get the footage to the masses with little fear of censorship, Francis's Girls Gone Wild cameramen would never have shot seven hours of a then-unknown Ashley Alexandra Dupré shaking her rump, gettin' nekkid and kissing other teens. The Internet makes everything cheaper: Francis had offered Dupré $1 million to appear in a video, until he discovered she was already in his archives. Which means he's getting her for the price of beer and a bus ticket.

After offering Eliot Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupre $1 million to pose for a nude video, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis discovered he already had nude video of Dupre, and now says it will be the final word on the ex-prostitute because "I got to her before Spitzer - she looked a lot better at 18." Francis told the Post he filmed Dupre "in girl-on-girl action" after she was thrown out of a Miami Beach hotel during spring break and took refuge on Francis' party bus. Dupre's celebrity is allegedly about to end, according to the Post — sales of her song have dried up and traffic to her MySpace page has slowed. An attorney who represents a different hooker said it might be too late for her to cash in. Really? Somehow it seems unlikely all porn, book and "butt girl" opportunities have passed Dupre by. The Post, for example, appears to have more than a little faith in the call girl's popularity: the tabloid assembled an eight-page Girls Gone Wild Dupre photo gallery, plus a four-page gallery of Dupre clubbing. A representative photo from each is after the jump.

Since resigning, all we've seen of Eliot Spitzer is the underside of his collar. His paid lady friend, though, is everywhere. Or at least, as usual, people would like to pay her vast amounts of money to be everywhere.
