Spitzer, Kristen and the International Federation of Competitive Eating
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.
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.
