'Parker Spitzer' TV Talk Show Breaks Up: She Goes, He Stays
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK – Kathleen Parker, a prominent political commentator, is leaving CNN's "Parker Spitzer," the much-ballyhooed prime-time talk show she co-hosted with Eliot Spitzer, the formerly disgraced governor of New York. Parker, 58, a Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion writer, said in a statement Friday night, "I have decided to return to a schedule that will allow me to focus more on my syndicated newspaper column and other writings." Parker writes a politically moderate op-ed column for The Washington Post that is syndicated nationally. Related Stories 'Parker ...
'Parker Spitzer' TV Talk Show Marriage Is on the Rocks
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK -- The much-ballyhooed CNN prime-time talk show starring Eliot Spitzer, the formerly disgraced governor of New York, and the brainy political writer Kathleen Parker has hit bottom. Parker, cast in the stand-by-her-man role on the show, occasionally throwing in a word or two, is fed up playing second fiddle to the motor-mouth Spitzer, who sucks up all the air during the 8 p.m. Eastern "Parker Spitzer" hour, the New York Post reported Wednesday, quoting unidentified sources. Word has spread in the gossip media that Parker, 58, a Pulitzer Prize winner, walked off the set during a ...
Notorious Call Girl Ashley Dupre Changing Career
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(Jul. 4) -- Former call girl Ashley Dupre has a new career plan -- and it has nothing to do with sex. Since her big reveal as Eliot Spitzer's escort in 2008, Dupre, 25, has pursued pop music, posed nude for Playboy and penned a dating advice column in the New York Post called, "Ask Ashley." She once told a reader: "Guys are primal." Now the Post reports Dupre is studying to become a real estate broker. She told the newspaper she has already completed a required course for aspiring New York realtors. "I recently moved back to New York from Los Angeles. Since being home, I took and passed the ...
Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo: Second Comings -- but on Separate Tracks
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyYou've got to give it to two of the most outsized egos in New York politics: They know how to make comebacks. Eliot Spitzer, 59, the former New York governor, is up from a sex scandal two years ago. Andrew Cuomo, 52, who will likely become the state's next governor, is up from a political debacle in 2002. Both are driven, passionate, aggressive, brassy, secretive, manipulative and arrogant. Insiders use more vulgar terms to describe the two heavyweight Democrats, who, of course, have no lost love for each other. Their lives may be parallel but not their fates. On Saturday, Cuomo made ...
Advice From Ashley: Eliot Spitzer's Call Girl Gets the Last Word
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyThe name, Ashley Duprč, might not ring a bell, but it will soon -- if the new "sex, love, and relationship" columnist at The New York Post manages to earn a loyal following. Miss Duprč, you may or may not recall, played a role in bringing Eliot Spitzer to his knees. (Is that an idiom one can even use in this case? Perhaps not, but it's a mixed metaphor anyway, as the indelible image of that escort service scandal was the little tidbit -- drummed into our consciousness by Spitzer's relentless nemesis Roger Stone -- about the former governor of New York doing whatever it was he was paying for ...

By David Sessions - Politics DailyThere is at least one person in New York who wouldn't be happy with an Eliot Spitzer comeback: "Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis, who now says that she will run against Spitzer if he attempts to return to politics.
