The media frenzy over the prostitution-driven downfall of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer continues to spin without an end in sight. While the scandal and resulting publicity has ruined Spitzer's career, it might just be the launch-pad to success for call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Dupre stands to rake in millions from her 15 minutes of fame surrounding the Spitzer scandal.
New York Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer was tied to a prostitution ring after a federal investigation revealed Spitzer was recorded on a wiretap arranging to meet with a prostitute. Identified as "Client 9" of the Emperors Club VIP escort service, Spitzer was recorded in a wiretap confirming plans to transport a prostitute from New York to Washington to meet him at a hotel for paid sex.
Known by the moniker of 'Kristen' in court documents about the case, Ashley Alexandra Dupre was identified earlier this week as the prostitute who met with Spitzer in Washington. The tryst between Dupre and Spitzer reportedly cost around $4,300. After details of Spitzer's involvement with Emperors Club VIP were made public, he resigned as Governor on Wednesday.
Since her real name was disclosed to the public, a media firestorm has surrounded 22-year-old Dupre. Information from Dupre's MySpace page revealed the attractive brunette as an aspiring singer who moved to New York at 17 to pursue a career in music. Dupre's MySpace page features one of her recorded tracks and two of her tracks are available for download through the Amie Street music service for .98 cents. One of the tracks, "What We Want" has also received some radio airplay.
Dupre was also found to have appeared in a music video by a rapper named Mysterious. The video shows Dupre leaning on a car and putting a bulletproof vest on one of the video's characters. The director of the video told People.com Dupre was "very professional… she was really warm. She had a great vibe and she was really fun to be around."

Though Dupre's musical career was not headed anywhere fast before the Spitzer scandal erupted, her quest for fame and fortune has received a significant jump-start as a result of the intense media coverage. Dupre's MySpace numbers shot up to over 5 million hits and the young singer is receiving a slew of profitable offers from various sources.
A representative for Hustler told AccessHollywood.com the magazine is willing to pony up a huge sum to Dupre if she will pose nude for the magazine. "Larry Flynt and Hustler Magazine will be offering $1 Million to Ashley Dupre to pose for Hustler Magazine,” the rep said. “We want this to happen as soon as possible.”
Penthouse is also reportedly interested in securing a deal with Dupre for photos. Adult movie studio, Vivid Entertainment, would love to have more than just still images. Co-Chairman Steven Hirsch told AccessHollywood.com the company is "definitely interested in taling to her… She could wind up being the highest paid actress in adult entertainment."
Although the monetary incentive to take off her clothes may be tempting, so far Dupre has not expressed any indication she is interested in the proposed offers. Currently, Dupre is focused on her music and working on an upcoming CD. Rumor has it she may be approached for a recording contract, which might be an offer more to her liking.
