Ashley Dupre is baring all in the May issue of Playboy magazine.

The former call girl, who came to public attention in the aftermath of the prostitution scandal that forced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer to resign, posed for an eight-page spread and gave an interview to the men's magazine, which hits newsstands April 16.

In the interview, Dupre talked about how she became a call girl, the aftermath of the Eliot Spitzer scandal and what she thinks of Tiger Woods' mistresses.

"Some people call me the girl who brought down the governor of New York, but in reality he brought me down," she told Playboy, according to New York magazine. "I was an escort. As much as I wish I could make that go away, I can't."

When the Spitzer scandal first broke, she continued, she thought of both her music career and Spitzer's wife, Silda.

"I watched my dreams of a singing career flash before my eyes. I saw the hurt in his wife's eyes," she said. "I felt as if I had jumped off a building. I couldn't breathe. I was dead."

Dupre explained that her days as an escort began when a man at a nightclub offered her $1,000 to go home with him, according to the Daily News.

"I was like, 'Wow, a thousand dollars sounds good,'" she said. "But I was scared."

She also commented on Tiger Woods' infidelity scandal, saying that she feels bad for the golfer's family.

"These girls are coming out," she said, referring to Woods' alleged mistresses. "And they're asking to be brought into it."

Dupre is no longer a call girl - she now has her own blog and is a relationship advice columnist for the New York Post - and says she doesn't regret leaving her old line of work.

"No one says, 'Hey, when I grow up, I want to be an escort.' That line of work looks to be the easy way out, but it's not, because you're sacrificing your brain and your identity. It's emotionally damaging. [It's] definitely not like something in the movies."

I usually don't comment on boards like this, but I had to say something. The fact that people can actually blame ladies like Ashlee Dupre and all the other women that have provided adult services is ridiculous. At the end of the day, Elliot Spitzer made up his own mind. No one forced his hand, she did not contact him. Every man who decides to be unfaithful makes the decision themselves. Sure, maybe the women make it accessible, but they're only cashing in on their own desires and problems. 90% of the time, men who chat are missing something that they aren't getting from either their wives or girlfriends. So, they go out and get it instead. Plain and simple. So stop blaming women and the media. At the end of the day, people make their own decisions.

'Nuff said?

"(AP) A major British clothing retailer withdrew a children's bathing suit from sale Wednesday after a front-page tabloid story revealed it was selling padded bras on bikinis aimed at 7-year-olds.

The bikinis angered children's advocates and candidates in Britain's upcoming election, who say it was yet another product that sexualizes children and encourages them to grow up too fast."

omded: There are fundamental principles of morality. To recognize them is not extremist. Knowledge of these principles is not personal opinion. Violation of these principles causes pain and heartache. It is a simple choice. My wife left to persue her happiness, destroyed a family and large group of friends. To ignore these principles is desireable to persue selfish interest. The principles will not go away. There will always be those who understand them.
===================================================================
This is that not seeing the forest for the trees thing. Women who diplay their flesh for money ignore these fundamental principles. Women who sell their bodies for sex ignore these principles. Men who pay any of the above ignore these principles. Societies that bomabrd their constituents with skin and sexual innuendo ignore these principles. There is nothing healthy about any of it.

We are desperate for happiness, but look in all the wrong places. That's not a cliche, that's the truth. And the truth is women like Ms Dupre are opportunists selling the promise of sex in lieu of happiness. Seven seconds and it's over. (Cheap shot opportunity here. But it won't buy you anything) Like Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, and "The Girls Next Door", she is an opportunist. If any of them are victims, then they need help not encouragement. But I think their idea of help would be at least $3000 an hour with a limo to and from.

Hey, wait a minute, Jade84116. The women who pose in various forms of undress do it voluntarily, and, many of them make their living doing it. You are NOT your neighbor's keeper. You do not know what's best for everyone, and you do not have any business banning material simply because it glorifies the human body. If you don't like it, then don't look at it, but, otherwise, mind your own business.

Remember also, that you are only stating your own PERSONAL opinion. If you were to actually ask the women who pose for these publications how they feel about what they do, I think you'd find that the majority of them feel a lot different about it than you do. I doubt ANY of them would favor an outright ban. Just because something is your opinion does not make it fundamentally right.

You are a good example of an extremist. Extremists come in both the "Lberal" and "Conservative" variety, however, fundamentally, they're both identical: They both want to force their views on everyone else. Extremists are very intolerant. They prefer solving their percieved "problems" with laws that ban the freedoms of those who disagree with them. There is one issue that has allowed our nation to flourish. It was carefully woven into the fabric of our nation, and its Constitution by our Founding Fathers. It's tolerance of those who disagree with us, and the ability to live an let live. All have the ability and the right to do as they wish, so long as they don't hurt anyone else or their rightful property, or interfere with their life, liberty, or their persuit of happiness. Likewise, all have the ability, and the right not to participate in what they don't believe in, to the extent that it doesn't injure anyone, damage their property, or interfere with their life, liberty, or persuit of happiness.

Extremists are the serpents that are tearing our nation apart. Neither can accept their adversary, and neither is willing to shut up, live their preferred lifestyle, and let everyone else live theirs as well.

You are the worst of the worst, and our nation, and the millions of people who freely celebrate the beauty of the human body are better off without you.

I think you need to retune your moral compass. Here's a hint. Those women you're defending are opportunists. They're just the same as Madoff, or Gotti, or Balloon boy's dad. They're not selling something healthy, they're twisting it around for their own benefit. At best, they're just doing what our society has taught them is successful. That doesn't make it right, desirable, or good. In fact, it probably desensitizes producer and consumer alike. They peddle a false connection, offer a promise of what can never be. They really are "home wreckers" whether they intend it or not. The sad thing is, that thought doesn't even enter into their calculus. It seems to me that YOU are the extremist. You can't see the forest for the trees.

Wasn't there some more important story CBS could run? This woman was no victim. She is, no doubt, being paid quite well for her "spread". This is a story written with the promise of salacious content. When we turn people into products and resources, we strip them of what they need most, human connections. That is what we are really hungry for. All this other kr@p is just junk food for the soul. It will kill us in the end.
