Why can't Joe Francis get it up for Ashley Dupre?
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.

Ashley Dupre's "Girls Gone Wild" video hits the Web, ruins everything
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?

Girls Gone Wild tests online video's mass appeal with Ashley Dupre
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. More »

Decoding the sex menu at the Moonlite BunnyRanch
The Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel outside of Carson City, Nevada, scored a PR hit this past week by making a high-stakes job offer to Governor Spitzer's alleged girlfriend for hire, Ashley Alexandra Dupré. But if you hit the BunnyRanch's website, you were probably as stumped as me by the menu of services — what's a "Pamper Party"? I dialed the Ranch and chatted with a few of the ladies there to decode the entire list. If I need to tell you it's NSFW, don't bother booking. More »

CNN's blow-by-blow of Spitzer girl's MySpace and Facebook profiles
Mallory Simon works for "the most trusted name in news." But she's working hard to make CNN also the most trusted name in news feeds. Simon gives CNN.com readers every detail of when and how Eliot Spitzer's call girl, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, changed her MySpace and Facebook profiles last week. But at 1,000-plus words, Simon overstays her welcome. Instead of paying writers by the word, why don't we pay them to leave? The 100-word version, below. More »

Ashley Dupre makes $204,000 from Web music sales
Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the call girl whom Eliot Spitzer knew as "Kristen," sold her song 300,000 times on online music store Amie Street. The site, a Jeff Bezos investment, sold the songs for $0.68 on average, putting Dupré's total around $204,000, the New York Post reports. Update: Amie Street's charts indicate Dupré's songs have been merely listened to 419,718 times, suggesting the Post's numbers might be off a bit. Either way, throw in a $1 million offer from Hustler, an ad campaign for something to be called Vodka #9 and a movie deal, and Dupré stands to make between $2.5 million to $5 million from the Spitzer scandal.
How not to hit on a hooker
"No worries hang in there...i single if your interested." — Mike Marra, commenter on Ashley Dupré's Facebook wall, indicating why some women might prefer $4,300 dates to old-fashioned romance.

The Ashley Dupre photos you couldn't find online
Score another one for Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, which nabbed exclusive photos of outgoing Governor Spitzer's $4,300 date. (Click the thumbnail for a bigger, better look.) It's hip to hate on the Post, as Gawker's Alex Pareene does here. But admit it: If the same pics had turned up first on Digg, you'd all be tripping over yourselves to declare it a victory for social something-or-other 2.0. Me, I wanna know if the Post is hiring.

PageSix.com Spitzer girl video could be its "firecrotch" moment
Ever since TMZ.com ran its infamous "firecrotch" video — the one in which an oil-heir pal of Paris Hilton slagged Lindsay Lohan — the Time Warner-owned Hollywood gossip site has been on a pageviews tear. TMZ.com slaps News Corp.'s PageSix.com around every which way when it comes to visitor traffic. But TMZ doesn't have video of the walking, talking, leaning sensation that is Ashley Alexandra Dupré, now do they?

Facebook users waste no time making Eliot Spitzer escort groups
There are already 13 Facebook groups about Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the object of New York governor Eliot Spitzer's paid-for affections. Some are supportive, some are complimentary, and some are ridiculous. Among the more amusing group names are "Ashley Alexandra Dupre is the next American Idol", "Ashley Alexandra Dupre (Ashley Youmans) was in my Class!" and "I don't care WHO or WHAT she did, Ashley Alexandra Dupre is effin gorgeous!!" And Facebook is worth $15 billion? Just sayin'. See the full list below. More »

Call girl beats Barenaked Ladies, Radiohead singer
Sorry, Thom Yorke. it appears a critically acclaimed career as Radiohead's front man isn't enough to outsell Eliot Spitzer's call girl on the Web. Ashley Alexandra Dupré, also known as "Kristen," considers herself something of an R&B artist. She sells her music on Amie Street, a New York-based music site in which Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos took a personal interest and later had his company invest in. It sets its pricing based on the principles of supply and demand. The more a song sells, the faster its price rises. So when Amie Street flack Zane Groshelle confirmed that Dupré's single, "What We Want" rose to 98 cents "just as quickly if not more quickly" than Barenaked Ladies and Thom Yorke, the market's message is clear: She knows what we want.

Dozens of Spitzer domain names snapped up
In a modern-day gold rush, many Eliot Spitzer-related domains have been registered since the news broke about his involvement with pricey escort services. We're not sure how many of these are going to be worth anything in a few months when this is all over — but there's nothing we like more than a good scandal. Some of the best domains: spitzerforvp.com, spitzerisscrewed.com, spitzerperpwalk.com and, of course, spitzerswallows.com. Classy. Get the full list after the jump.
