Movers and Shakers: Spitzer Scandal
March 18, 2008

Eliot Spitzer climbed the charts with a 375% gain this week. On March 10, The New York Times reported that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer had patronized a high class prostitute service called The Emperors Club VIP. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform to Albany, is married with three children. According to published reports, investigators believe Spitzer paid up to $80,000 for prostitutes over a period of several years while he served as attorney general and later as governor. Spitzer consequently resigned from office on March 12. Searches for Spitzer's high-end prostitute, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, also skyrocketed 300% this week. Dupre, age 22, originally from New Jersey, is making the most of the publicity, working on her first recording session. MTV news reports Dupre has two tracks out, one titled "Hello, Stranger, Stranger." Interestingly, the lyrics tell the story of meeting a man late at night.

Recent reports speculating that Heath Ledger's outdated will makes no provision for his 2-year old daughter increased online interest in Ledger, up 115%. It seems the will, written in 2003, left everything to Ledger's family. Daughter Matilda was born in 2005. Although there were rumors that Matilda and her mother, actress Michelle Williams were left out of the will, Health's father assured the public they will be taken care of. "Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family," Heath's father said in a statement. "They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be."

Other Movers and Shakers, such as Trish Stratus' jumped up 283% due to her come-back wrestling match in Iceland. As previously reported Jessica Simpson traveled over to Kuwait to perform in front of the troops along with other acts for Operation MySpace. Also, Madonna (275%) and Jessica Biel's (275%) numbers rose this week following apperances at VH1's Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame Induction held last Monday, March 10 with Justin Timberlake.
