New York, Mar.15 (ANI): Hustler boss Larry Flynt has offered Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the prostitute who brought down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer a million dollars to pose naked for his magazine.
Flynt is convinced the high-class hooker, who works for prostitution and escort agency the Emperors Club VIP, would be a perfect fit for his men’s magazine.
Flynt says, “We think this is an item that is going to stay in the news for some time. We think it’s not bad for a 22-year-old to make one million dollars for a few hours work. It beats what she was making at the escort service.”
Dupre sex romp with Eliot Spitzer netted her a couple of thousands of dollars, but if a Daily News report is to be believed, she stands to make millions from the scandal.
Penthouse wants her on the cover, every news organization in the world wants an interview and her music is getting downloaded at rates she never could have imagined. She is said to have already earned in excess of 200,000 dollars for her songs.
Not bad for a 22-year-old runaway from New Jersey.
Dupre, known as call-girl “Kristen” in legal documents, is a key player in the Spitzer fiasco. That makes her as appealing to producers and publications as Spitzer or his wife, Silda.
Penthouse Magazine group president and publisher Diane Silberstein said she would “love to have her in the magazine” and would consider offering her a cover shot.
“She sounds like a very interesting and talented young woman, and I’m sure she has a great story to tell,” Silberstein said. “We promise to make it worth her while.”
TV programs are in the hunt, too.
“Every tabloid in the world will go after her and spend millions of dollars,” Silverstein said, noting his show follows NBC News guidelines and doesn’t pay for interviews.
“We are interested in having her on the program - as is every other morning program and media outlet - it’s a major news story,” said a spokeswoman for ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Flynt said that by the time Dupre starts talking, she may be too big a media phenomenon for a simple magazine spread.
“She is no doubt going to do a book. There will probably be a movie,” he said. “I think she is going to have so many offers coming in that it will probably be wishful thinking just to get in the door.” (ANI)
