Sex Scandal Boosts Music Career of 'Kristen'
Ashley Alexandra Dupré, the 22-year-old at the center of the N.Y.
governor sex scandal, is getting an unexpected boost to her music
career.
Opportunity knocks for Spitzer call girl
JJ, a disc jockey for New York's Z100,
the most widely listened to radio station in the U.S., and one of the
most influential in pop music, played her song "What We Want" on
Thursday.
"Z100 is all about playing what's hot, and we can't think of
anything hotter than a song from the woman at the center of a scandal
that took down the governor of New York," says Tom Poleman, SVP of
Programming for Z100 New York. "On top of that, it's a surprisingly
good song. Looks like she may have a new career; this time in music."
Dupré, a New Jersey native, posted the song on her MySpace page and made it available to buy for 16 cents on the music site Amie Street, which prices tracks based on popularity.
Opportunity knocks for Spitzer call girl
Since her identity was revealed, Dupré's MySpace page has had
more than 5 million profile views – and growing – as of Thursday and
the price of the song on Amie Street was up to 98 cents. A second
single, "Move ya Body," also selling for 98 cents, had also been added
by Dupré.
