Judith Regan Hasn't Lost Her Touch

My book-publishing sources weren't kidding when they said yesterday that Judith Regan, were she still employed by HarperCollins, would be the obvious choice to publish a tell-all by Ashley Alexandra Dupre, better known as "Kristen," the first prostitute definitively linked to Eliot Spitzer.

While everyone else seems to think the real money is in a memoir by Spitzer's wife, Silda, Regan tells the New York Daily News they're all wrong:

"The most commercial book would be the hooker, sorry to say. Sex sells. But if [Silda] penned a really honest book and it was beautifully written, it could work. That would never happen.

"[Spitzer's], of course, would work if he spilled the beans and did a full confessional with his early sexual development -- these guys always have problems early on. The overbearing demanding father, a cold mother -- whatever -- would all be great for book material."
