Washingtonienne's Latest Link

And you thought you'd heard the last of Jessica Cutler, a.k.a. the blogger Washingtonienne! Not so, the New York Post reports; alleged photos of former Senate staffer Cutler, 29, have shown up on the alleged Web site of alleged N.Y.C. madam Kristin "Billie" Davis, 32, whose Manhattan-based Wicked Models call-girl ring was shut down Tuesday after a year-long investigation.

According to the Post, Cutler can be seen on Davis's MySpace page, posing above the caption "The Famous Jessica Cutler!" The same picture reportedly also appears on a Web site that advertises a photo shoot for Wicked Models, but in that photo Davis identifies Cutler as "Brooke." Cutler told the Post it was her face on the Web site but said the photos "were Photoshopped."

Asked if she had worked as an escort, Cutler told the Post, "I can't talk about that," but said reps of the Manhattan district attorney's office "are going to want to see me for questioning."

Cutler told the Post she first met Davis -- who is behind bars, with bail set at $2 million -- when her roommate was hired as Davis's personal assistant; Cutler said she partied with Davis and at one time lived in her New York apartment.

Attempts to reach Cutler for comment yesterday were unsuccessful.

Blinging Up Baby

After reports circulated earlier this week that Jamie Lynn Spears was sporting an engagement ring from beau Casey Aldridge, the pregnant "Zoey 101" star stopped by Babies R Us on Thursday to open a gift registry, People magazine reports.

Spears, who will turn 17 on April 4, wore the ring (and a shirt that said "The Rumors Are True") as she and a cousin picked out gifts at the store in Baton Rouge. Requested items were in gender-neutral colors and included a car seat, a teething ring and receiving blankets decorated with Disney characters.

Aldridge, the baby's 18-year-old father, is listed as Spears's "co-registrant"; the "event date" listed is July 10. Spears added a short message to the registry: "Thank you for supporting us during this special time."
