Will Spitzer's 'Kristen' Come to Hollywood?*

Not even a week after her unmasking, the woman who serviced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is posing scantily clad in an exclusive New York Post photo shoot. And as many predicted, no doubt, this will all lead to fame, of some sort, for call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre who went by the name 'Kristen' while working for the Emperors VIP Club. Access Hollywood executive producer Rob Silverstein told the NY Daily News, "At the end of the day, this could be in some sick way a big break for her."
And what about Playboy or Penthouse? Larry Flynt chimes in: "We've been looking at [her] very closely. She's young. She's pretty. She's a model. We would love to do business with her, and we will approach her." Penthouse Magazine Group publisher Diane Silberstein also said she would "love" to have Dupre in the magazine, even the cover: "She sounds like a very interesting and talented young woman, and I'm sure she has a great story to tell. We promise to make it worth her while."
While it's too early to tell if the New Jersey native will be moving to Los Angeles for a career, it's most likely the her presence will be requested at many events and interviews in Hollywood. Her MySpace page is a music profile featuring one song and the viewer count has risen to nearly 7.2 million views (it was 6.7 earlier this morning) and news organizations and TV programs are trying to score the first interview with the 22-year-old (who might be maybe slightly older).
Update: Apparently she's sold 2 million copies of her singles already at a dollar a pop and she's earning 70% of the money. Not a bad chunk of change.
Update: File this under Press Release of the Day.
Glendale, CA - Adult video company Kick Ass Pictures has announced they are making a $1,000,000 offer to Ashley Alexandra Dupre to star in an adult movie. Dupre, aka 'Kristen,' is the 22-year-old woman allegedly hired by New York Governor Elliot Spitzer in the prostitution scandal that has caused Spitzer to resign his post as of Monday. The company already has a working title for the movie: Spitzer Swallows - An Oral History of Guv Love. The script calls for Dupre to re-enact the tryst(s) she allegedly had with Governor Spitzer in graphic, hardcore detail. 'Miss Dupre is smokin' hot,' said Kick Ass president Mark Kulkis. 'Hot enough for at least one man to pay $4300 to sleep with her. We think millions of other men will gladly pay $29.95 to vicariously enjoy that experience.
