JOE FRANCIS RESPONSE TO ASHLEY DUPRE

Image
Joe Francis Joe Francis issued the following statement to Times Square Gossip today in response to a lawsuit allegedly filed by Ashley Dupré. We at Times Square Gossip think the governor's hooker should go strut her used stuff on the other corner like all the other trash. “We were very surprised and in fact amazed today that Ms. Dupré filed a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild. We have not publicly released any new video of Ms. Dupré, due to corporate policy of not using footage of individuals younger than 18. It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification. We did in fact offer Ashley via her New York attorney $1 Million to host and promote various Girls Gone Wild activities – She refused this offer and in fact if she’d like to reconsider, we’d be happy to discuss. She should keep in mind, it’s considerably more than the Governor of N...

ASHTON KUTCHER NEEDS TOILET TRAINING

Image
Ashton Kutcher Sexy Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher loves to urinate outside his mansion every morning, because he wants to feel closer to nature.The 'That 70's Show" star admits he likes to join his dogs when they empty their bladders in the morning outside the home he shares with his wife actress Demi Moore. And he blames his weird toilet habit on his desire to bond with the earth and feel like a "caveman". He says, "I pee outside, outside my house, in my yard. I usually start off my day by taking my dogs out. While they go, I go."That’s probably my least appealing habit. I just feel like I’m connecting with nature, I bond and feel like caveman. Man, tents, cave, pee, bush." We understand Ashtons call to nature, we have it too, but what does he do when hes at his wife Demi's New York City apartment? We guess he walks right across the street to Central Park. Better be careful of the Gay cruising area, you may be sliding home !
