"They're talking to MTV about Ashley being the next Tila Tequila," claimed a source supposedly close to the reality TV producers who aim to squeeze a few more minutes of fame out of the woman who's been shamefully credited with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer's downfall. So a reality show about prostitution? One's already been running online, recorded at the panopticonically perfect Prague brothel Big Sister, where clients get sex for free if they'll allow their sessions with escorts to be part of the show.

Male performers ("guests") are asked to show up sober and pay a 10 euro fee towards towels, robes, and other amenities. And for that? One hour of decently legal sex with a professional. As no masks are allowed, "guests" get to show off their o-face in full streaming glory, previewable for free. Dupré's already been solicited for a brothel appearance at Nevada's legal cathouse, The Moonlite BunnyRanch. As that didn't pan out, take this unsolicited suggestion, Ashley: open your own reality brothel in Nevada, and we'll send a reporter stat. And we won't let Robert Scoble come Ustream you, we promise.

<![CDATA[Ashley Alexandre Dupré drops suit, Joe Francis to take his cut]]> Well after the Eliot Spitzer scandal has subsided and bronzed call girl Ashley Dupré no longer makes headlines, she's dropped her case against Girls Gone Wild's entrepreneurial ex-con Joe Francis over the online release of a video characteristic of Francis's oeuvre. We can only hope the young Dupré, pictured here in her high school yearbook, walked away with not just a settlement up front but points on the back end. Sadly, the market cap on her performance can have only been diminished by the wait — I can imagine a band manager-type, buoyed by well-bankrolled rap videos, holding out for mainstream money.

Not to mention the lawyers along the way happy to take 40 percent, knowing all along that at best a confidential deal would be struck so that Francis could get on with the business of spooning out the dozens of hours of Dupré footage to horny Web gossips. But then maybe waiting to settle was the smart economic move — the GGW site no longer features Dupré as a come-on, and if I were Francis I'd sign whatever it took to restore my sagging search rank.

<![CDATA[Ashley Alexandra Dupré approves your friend request!]]> The internet's favorite escort, Ashley Alexandra Dupré, wants to apologize for taking so long to approve your Friend Request on MySpace. "All of my pending friend requests from 3/12 through now were deleted by myspace (if you do not approve them within a certain number of days, they get deleted) so...please please please re-send and you should be approved automatically." We forgive, you, Ms. Dupré — we know you were busy. And shame on you, MySpace, for interfering with a working woman's self-promotion by blocking those friend requests.

<![CDATA[HuffPo practices search engine pessimization]]> A tipster points out that horndogs Googling for "ashley dupre naked" get, as their first result, this search engine optimization page from the Huffington Post. It has a zillion search terms and three big ads on it, but no Ashley in the buff as promised. Not even a witty op-ed post. At least if you search for "ashley dupre photos" or "ashley dupre pictures" and click the Valleywag link atop the page, we deliver.
