She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer. Now, at 22, she is the unwitting, and as yet unseen, star of the seamy drama that is the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York.

Kristen, the high-priced prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having a Feb. 13 rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington,has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor rental in an upscale apartment building in the Flatiron district. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court as a witness in the case against four people charged with operating the prostitution ring, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week due to the stress from the case.

That’s what $5K gets you?

And to think Greenspan tried fighting inflation for 19 years.

Sptizer is older than Kristen’s mother.

As a ring of gold in a pig’s snout so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

Sad.

Was she a member of the American Friends Service Committee? Oh! But that is a pro al-Qaeda bunch.

The 3 to 7 diamond thing is like how you can only get a soda that’s medium, large and super.

Like nobody can figure out that 3 diamonds are the bottom of the barrel.

She’s cute but nothing like I had imagined. Looks like the girl next door type, I was expecting the brunette version of Marilyn Monroe with the way the media was describing her.

I suspect the IRS will be interested in her too.

I suspect the deal she's being given is "tell us everything you know, and we won't hand you over to Guido the IRS Collector"

There must have been 20 girls in my high school class who were prettier than her.

“I know what you want, you got what I want,” she sings in the chorus. “I know what you need. Can you handle me?”

I don't think that's a Cole Porter lyric, but I can hear Frank singing it.

She is so YOUNG and cute! I hope she get OUT of this “business”!!! She is the same age as my kids! I would die before I would let them do this for a living! I can’t imagine! My heart goes out to her, I hope she gets straightened out now. Damn men that USE young girls.

Hoo boy, some men are really, really stupid. Not exactly Helen of Troy, is she? Oh well, it was his family, career, money, reputation, etc., that he threw out the window for this female and others of her ilk. His choice.
