​You probably didn't win the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot -- the chance of winning was 1 in 176 million -- but the money will be divided up by at least three people. Lottery officials said winning tickets were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland. In New York, 17 people will get a second-prize of $250,000 each. And the lucky numbers? Those were 02-04-23-38-46 with a Mega Ball of 23. People around the country collectively spent about $1.5 billion for a chance to get their hands on the winnings. [CBS New York, NYDN]

Fail

​After a prolonged period of subpar ratings, even canning cohost Kathleen Parker (and changing the show's name) couldn't save CNN's In the Arena, where our former, prostitute-loving governor Eliot Spitzer did his redemption time, however brief. The network announced today that the program is being scrapped, with Anderson Cooper's show moving to the 8 p.m. slot, thereby giving Spitzer plenty of free time to eventually become the mayor of New York City (or so the thinkpieces will wonder!), while the man previously slotted for that job post-Bloomberg, Anthony Weiner, he too a tad too horny for public office, can cycle onto the cable networks, bluster a bit and if he does it all right, service his ego once again with a place in politics. If you can make it here... you can screw up, fail and then come back later.

Shut up, it's too early for this! Not for the political news media, who will gladly play this game for the next twenty-four-plus months. No one knows for sure, of course, whether ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer will run for mayor in 2013, but it's never too early to start the speculation. (But if we were guessing with no consequences: yes, he will.) That's what Charles Gasparino said last week in the New York Post, and when asked, Spitzer could just smile and laugh.More >>

​Noted advice columnist Ashley Dupre, famous first for sleeping with and eventually bringing down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, has now taken to sharing the secrets of her Playboy-famous body with a six-week plan to "look good naked!" In Sunday's New York Post, Dupre said she's gained 5 pounds, which for her "is a nightmare." So she's outlining her tried and true workout tips, "pieced together over 20 years of avid gym going, personal training and gymnastics as a little girl." More notably, there are pictures!

​Ashley Dupre, Eliot Spitzer's choicest call girl, has blossomed into her own medium-sized New York City celebrity by being persistent. She still trades on sex, of course, appearing in Playboy (naked, but in a tasteful photo shoot brought to you first by Runnin' Scared) in addition to writing an advice column for the New York Post, but at least we remember her name. (She also took real estate classes at NYU, but that's boring.) In Sunday's Post column, however, Dupre stands up for herself, explaining in detail why she decided not to appear in Client 9, a documentary about Spitzer's downfall, and why she refuses to see the film.

​Groucho Marx once said that he'd never want to be in any club that'd have him as a member. But what of those that don't? Just ask Eliot Spitzer, who the New York Times gets dishy on, revealing that the former governor of New York was rejected from The Harvard Club, his alma mater's cushy -- and apparently crusty -- midtown den. That's okay, because we've got a list of 25 Clubs both better than the Harvard Club and welcoming (if not welcome to the discussion) of Spitzer amongst their ranks.

​Page Six may have lost their longtime skipper Richard Johnson, but they are still throwing some heat. Today's column has a great item about one of New York's most infamous dicks, (the one attached to) Eliot Spitzer.

Carl Paladino questioned Andrew Cuomo's decision to take his daughter to New York's Gay Pride parade. Is that because Paladino knew that one of his top campaign advisers, Roger Stone, would be there exhibiting NC-17 behavior?

​Former New York Governor and Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's in for an interesting few weeks. For one thing, his prime time CNN show, Parker Spitzer premiered last night to...interesting...reviews. For another, Alex Gibney's documentary on his downfall -- Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer -- is being released in theaters soon, and is already available on-demand on some cable networks (like, naturally, Time-Warner Cable). Yet, one assertion -- and the question of its validity -- somehow keeps rising to the surface: Is the Black Socks Thing actually true?
