Reg hack beats 'Belle de Jour' sex rap
A Reg hack breathed a huge sigh of relief this weekend, as the self-unmasking of Belle de Jour finally refuted allegations by newspapers that he was a blogger. In 2004 The Independent repeated claims in the Evening Standard diary that following his career as an expensive prostitute, Andrew Orlowski had abandoned his morals to …

Famous by association?! (or) For whom the Belle tolls...
"Described in some quarters as a "cult figure", Mr Orlowski has a record of cultured sex writing on the internet. "
Which quarters are these? I think we should be told...
I thought Orlowski...
was only in bed with the global warming denialists!
@ Famous by association
I fear another case of the mistyped 'l'... ;-)
Actually.....
How many people will now claim to be Belle?
Actually I'm Belle de Jour.........
.......hang on........No!.................I'm Spartacus!
At last his name is cleared
but where is this cultured sex writing on the internet?
Inquiring dirty mind need to know!
Fantastic!
Now Mr Orlowski can allow comments to his Register articles again!
@Frostbite
"No! .......I'm Brian!"
etc..
She's not bad either ;-)
My favourite part of the story was...
... that she was supplementing her day job...as a 'computer programmer'.
Suspicious
I'm not convinced, if I was wired an undisclosed but substantial sum of money, I too would rush to your defence pretending to be a whatever it was you were being accused of. Clearly something similar must have happened here. The big O is NOT innocent I declare!
Eh?
North London brothel?
Sounds like the el-reg HQ to me... or are they the same?
The world demands an answer
Never mind whether the sex writing is cultured or not...
... are comments open on it?
What, no Playmobil reenactment?
Of the stakeout, that is.
Oblig
I am now posting a comment to an article by Andrew Orlowski.
Dammit. Do I get half an Internet Point for it being about Andrew Orlowski?
There's a phrase you won't often hear...
"El Reg's US bureau was staked out by paparazzi"
It's
not like someone from the Reg to refuse a possible source of cash...
(I'll leave it on the nightstand as I get my coat)
Seen the photo?
I wouldn't be paying 300/hr to shag her. Jesus, people thought the stock market was overpriced.
Expensive?
Unlikely.
Also, @ Hermes Conran: I think you're mistaking "environmental denialists" with Universal.
Show's how bad things are though
When somebody who's clearly very talented (in her CURRENT job, not her previous one :p) has to resort to prostituion just to get through their PhD.
Makes me feel a little bit disappointed with the whole country tbh.
Impossible!
I'm pretty sure Belle allows comments on her blog - Andrew never allows them on his Reg articles...
Yes, what is it with the comments?
Andrew writes interesting, contentious articles designed to spark debate. So why are comments always turned off? I just don't get it.
Seconded
+1 for Chris3, it winds me up when I read a contentious/interesting article on El Reg, then find, when I've bothered to read the whole thing, that I can't even comment on it.
And before any of you lot start, yes, some readers do read the whole article!
