The media scrum outside the Manhattan apartment building of Ashley Dupre, a.k.a. Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s alleged prostitute Kristen, has apparently irritated the building’s non-Spitzer-fucking residents.

So much so, the building’s management has dispatched its PR representative to ask the press to back-off.

AJC/AP:

On Thursday night, Richard Shea issued a statement indicating Dupre’s fellow tenants were fed up with the media circus and curiosity-seekers.

When he’s not doing PR for real estate clients, Richard Shea and his brother, George, are the brains behind the International Federation of Competitive Eating, the world governing body of stomach-centric sports.

If you know the names of gustatory gladiators Takeru Kobayashi, Joey Chestnut, Sonya Thomas, or Dale Boone — you have Richard and George Shea to thank/blame.

The New York Times has found Kristen, the alleged prostitute with whom New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer allegedly had alleged sex with (allegedly) on Feb. 13 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C., the alleged nation’s capital. Naturally, Kristen is not her real name:

Born Ashley Youmans but now known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, she spoke softly and with good humor as she added with significant understatement: “This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated.”

The Times even found her MySpace profile, which includes at least one soon-to-be-widely-reproduced bikini photo:

And one soon-to-be-widely-psychoanalyzed blog post dated August 30, 2007:

The past few months have been a roller coaster with so called friends, lovers, and family…but its something you have to deal with and confront in order to move on…

I stepped away from each situation that happened and asked myself…

1) What is this person doing to make my life better? (financial, intel, drive, networking etc.)

If, by any chance, Ms. Youmans deletes or blocks access to her profile, feel free to console yourself with my MySpace profile.

I can’t offer you bikini photos*, but I have been to the Mayflower Hotel. I went to a bat mitzvah there when I was 13.

And if that doesn’t make you want to Add Me, my senior prom was in the hotel where former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was videotaped smoking crack.

If When New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer surrenders his keys to the governor’s mansion, he will be replaced by Lt. Gov. David Paterson, who is legally blind.

A question for history buffs: Will Paterson be the country’s first blind governor?
