The New York Daily News, fresh from placing our own lovable Bucky Turco in its editorial crosshairs, takes issue today with Ashley Dupre’s “useless” advice column now running in the New York Post on Sundays.
Here is Daily News gossip queen Joanna Molloy showing her bitch teeth:
Why hear from dignified young actresses and musicians who choose to stay vertical to make ends meet?
Hearing the world view of someone who turned the oldest tricks in the book affords us such sage wisdom as this from Dupre: “Guys are primal.” Isn’t she the first one you think of when you want advice on love, children, and gift items?
It’s a wonder that “David K of Tribeca” and “Meredith of Queens” needed to seek out the counsel of the former prostitute.
Hey, if her editors want to give the wanna-be singer her 16th minute of fame and they’re consenting adults, who are we to be snarky about it?
They’re providing a service for those who don’t frequent porn sites. Where else would we have learned that Liberator sex futons are having a Christmas sale if Dupre hadn’t given us the hot tip?
Personally, I love “Kristen’s” column. You go girl. And stop hatin’ Daily News! Jeez.
can you think of a better usage for The Post than that? Yes, now you can get all the sage advise on love, marriage and what a hooker needs to pack when visiting a trick across state lines. Ask Ashley will be the most informative new beat in town…as in beat my meat, anyway. Read all about it at http://bit.ly/4N9pvs
Well it's not like the NY Daily News is tough competition for the Post, have you read their articles? When describing a crime scene they have been known to incorporate really unprofessional street slang and leave out crucial details. The gist of a typical article: "The cops was hot on this thug who dropped a biscut in a dumpster sumwhere in the West Village yesterday. 5-0 chased him thirteen blocks but he got away. No suspsects been found so far but some snitch went ahead n told the cops the shooter drove off in a dark colored Impala." I wouldn't be surprised if most of their top writers are actually unpaid interns bumping to Nas while Googling their latest 'break'. Good for Ashley for landing such a gig, it's EXACTLY the type of thing she should have commentary on.
All that matters is that SHE was impressed by Elliot's column.
