Publisher Larry Flynt is offering Ashley Alexander Dupre, the 22-year-old former hooker for Gov. Eliot Spitzer, $1 million to pose nude for Hustler magazine.

“We think this is an item that is going to stay in the news for some time,” Flynt said. “We think it’s not bad for a 22-year-old to make $1 million for a few hours work. It beats what she was making at the escort service.”

An escort who had an affair with Sen. David Vitter recently appeared nude in the pages of Hustler. Whether Dupre, who is said to be interested in having a singing career, will go all the way with Flynt is yet to be seen.

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, the legendary journalist who in 2007 helped expose Sen. David Vitter’s rendezvous with multiple escorts, has some harsh words for Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

“It is matters like these that brings hypocrisy to the forefront of American politics,” Flynt said in a statement issued on Monday afternoon. ”Although I didn’t have anything to do with his outing, I wish him well.”

It is notable that Spitzer is a Democrat, since some critics of Flynt’s focus on Vitter’s misdeeds had said Flynt had pursued a Republican sex witch hunt. Flynt has always maintained that he wishes to expose political hypocrisy in all forms.

It was revealed earlier on Monday that Spitzer last month participated in a prostitution ring called the Emperors Club, but had cracked down on prostitution rings when he was attorney general of New York.

The New York Post reports:

Larry Flynt won’t be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom if Rudy Giuliani is elected president. In a Web exclusive on VanityFair.com, the Hustler publisher slams Giuliani for moving in with a gay couple after he split from Donna Hanover: “I don’t hate gays. But I don’t want to live in an apartment full of them. They’ll bitch and cry and all. That doesn’t bother Giuliani. It doesn’t bother Giuliani to put a dress on to do ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I don’t trust him.” Flynt - who’s offering $1 million for evidence of illicit sexual encounters with lawmakers and Cabinet members - told the Web site, “Why do you break up with your wife and move in with gay guys?”

No snickers, please. A must-read article appears in Hustler magazine’s February 2008 issue, which has just hit new stands. Called “Bush’s Secret Plans,” the piece explores whether the president could “suspend the Constitution and cancel the 2008 election.” The editors say the unthinkable is a very real possibility. And after all the political secrets Larry Flynt has helped uncover this year alone, who can argue with them? In the spirit of muckraking, check out this special year-end tribute to Flynt.

The Dallas Voice’s David Webb has published an interesting article involving our Trent Lott / Benjamin Nicholas story. Pay attention, folks:

Finally, in my feverish pursuit of the story, I called Bruce David, the editorial director of Hustler, to see if [Larry] Flynt had the goods on Lott, and whether we could expect an expose on Lott any time soon.

David confirmed that Hustler had received information about Lott from sources other than Nicholas, but he declined to reveal any of it.

“If I tell you anything about it, I run the risk I’m going to have to pay one of our sources for information we might not even publish,” David said.

David said there might not be any point in publishing a story about Lott because he has resigned.

“Our whole reason for doing this is to get them out of power,” David said. “Here, Trent Lott has essentially removed himself from the equation. We’re going to have to decide … do we want to spend more money on the investigation for something that is, from our point of view, a dead issue. He’s leaving office.”

David said that Hustler has “lots of information on lots of different people,” but it only publishes that material when a person is a hypocrite — a person who says one thing in public and does another in private.

Under that rule, I would say our anti-gay foe Lott certainly fits the criteria for outing if Hustler has the type of information I think it does.

So if you’re reading, Larry, I say go ahead and write that check. If you’ve got the scoop, Benjamin [Nicholas], give Larry a call. You’re not getting any younger, and the last time I checked, there weren’t any pension plans available for party boys.

A press release sent this evening by Hustler publisher Larry Flynt confirms that a phone number belonging to ABC newsman Sam Donaldson appeared in the records of the alleged “DC Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, as Big Head DC first revealed some time ago. Radar magazine and the Huffington Post have both falsely claimed that the Big Head DC story was somehow factually inaccurate. We have long claimed that the existence of Donaldson’s number in Palfrey’s records - combined with the existence of phone records of one or more other news personalities from the ABC network in the records - prevented ABC News from revealing a fuller report on the spectrum of politicos and others within Palfrey’s records when the network released their exclusive Brian Ross interview with Palfrey in May of this year. In essence, there was a cover-up by ABC News. Palfrey has confirmed as much to Big Head DC.

The full release follows: Read more…

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, who earlier this year promised $1 million to anyone who could uncover facts leading to a major politico hypocrisy sex scandal, is now confirming Big Head DC’s scoop regarding Sen. Trent Lott:

HUSTLER Magazine has received numerous inquiries regarding the involvement of Larry Flynt and HUSTLER in the resignation of Trent Lott. Senator Lott has been the target of an ongoing HUSTLER investigation for some time now, due to confidential information that we have received.

Big Head DC has also received word that Hustler will soon provide more details on why Lott resigned — much more to come. It’s unknown at this point when Flynt will write the $1 million check to Big Head DC.

Max Follmer, a writer with the Huffington Post, is reporting that the alleged Sen. Trent Lott / Benjamin Nicholas affair never happened — and that there is no documenting information to support it. However, in no uncertain terms, there is — as Nicholas, Big Head DC and Larry Flynt know. Indeed, the denial posts from Nicholas that Follmer mentions in his piece as appearing on Nicholas’ blog are simply not there. Big Head DC also stands completely by our previous story that ABC newsman Sam Donaldson’s number appears in the records of alleged “DC Madam,” and that the ABC network covered up that fact when it reported Palfrey’s story in May.

UPDATE, 5:30: “Here’s my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I’m sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny,” Benjamin Nicholas tells Big Head DC.

ORIGINAL:

Must credit Big Head DC:

Once upon a time, there was a twentysomething boy-next-door type with reddish blond hair and a brilliantly white smile. Not one to shy away from attention, he wrote a blog called “Fifteen Minutes,” and also became a freelance writer for various publications, including The Stranger in Seattle. He’d often focus on his non-traditional lifestyle as a gay male escort — a topic that often fascinated his readers, which, in turn, helped him to garner a substantial amount of powerful business acquaintances through the years.

Based in San Antonio, he would travel all over the world to meet his clients, which included high profile celebrities, businessmen and even politicians in the United States Congress.

Sometimes within his writings he’d give advice on how other males could become successful escorts. Other times he’d post videos of himself flexing on YouTube. Once, he even scolded gay escort Mike Jones for outing Rev. Ted Haggard as one of his gay escort business participants.

“You were paid for sex, Mike,” he wrote in 2006. “The most important rule you can follow when taking people’s money in exchange for sex is that—no matter what—their lives stay their own and whatever passes between the two of you remains private. Period.”

Many of his clients greatly appreciate his professionalism. In fact, according to one 66-year-old patron who reviewed him on a gay escort site, he is “a very reliable escort who keeps you informed.”

The boy happens to be real, and his “stage name” is Benjamin Nicholas. One of the politicos Big Head DC has learned he’s alleged to have been involved with is the married Sen. Trent Lott, 66, who unexpectedly announced his retirement on Monday. Lott is well-known to have been against a plethora of gay rights issues throughout his terms in Congress. He was also good friends with Sen. Larry Craig throughout his time in Congress.

Nicholas told Big Head DC today via e-mail that he didn’t want to go on the record to talk about his dealings with Lott, because, said Nicholas, “Trent is going through his fair share of scrutiny right now and I don’t want to add to it.” However, e-mail and other records confirm that the two have met on at least two occasions.

“All I can say at this point is no comment,” Nicholas told us. “It’s the professional thing for me to do.”

In a subsequent e-mail message, Nicholas confirmed that another publication is working on a story about a “possible relationship” between Lott and himself, but Nicholas also “politely declined” an interview for that story.

“As I said before, Lott has quite a bit on his plate right now and I don’t really want to add fuel to the embers,” Nicholas told Big Head DC.

A spokeswoman for Larry Flynt told Big Head DC this afternoon that the Hustler publisher has “no comment” on the strange resignation today of Trent Lott, the GOP’s number two in the Senate. The question begs to be asked: If Flynt had nothing to do with the resignation, wouldn’t he just say so? Or does he want to leave the impression that he is indeed involved? Stay tuned.
