Ashley Dupre offers still rolling in

Ashley Dupre became a household name due to the exposure of her alleged sex-service relationship with New York's former governor, Eliot Spitzer. But while his life and career appear to be in ruins in the wake of the randy revelations, Dupre's bank balance may soon be booming.





The New Jersey-born call girl was offered big bucks from numerous men's magazines to get down and dirty, including a $1 million paycheck from X-rated entrepreneur Joe Francis to take the cover of his first-ever "Girls Gone Wild" magazine this month. (Francis rescinded the offer once he realized he already had several films in which Dupre appeared.)

The now 22-year-old only got a T-shirt for flashing her flesh in those videos from 2003. So thanks to client number nine, Ashley's earning power has come a long way. And now, Francis' good friend Dennis Hof, owner of the big-wig Bunnyranch brothel in Nevada, wants to be hooked up with the sex scandal star, too.

"I've offered Ashley a quarter of million salary to come and work for me here," Hof told Pop Tarts, adding that he was hoping to negotiate the deal with Dupre in the next few weeks. "I've also offered a free lifetime pass for Mr. Spitzer; we're still waiting for a response.

"We call him the 'No Glove Love Gov,' but we've given out passes to people who are a lot more important and high-profile than he is," the hooker-house owner added.

So if Ashley does decide to bounce on board the Bunnyranch, Hof claims that he will turn her image from "dirty" to dazzling.

"My girls are rock stars; they have class. Right now, Ashley is just a dirty girl who knew that what she was doing in New York and D.C. was illegal," he said. "If she wanted to be in the sex trade she could have come to Nevada where it's legal. So she deserves whatever she gets — but what she doesn’t deserve is fame. She and Eliot should both be in jail where they can write dirty letters to each other."

However, Dupre’s 15 minutes of fame aren't up quite yet. Gentleman’s Club Headquarters New York (known as HQ) is holding a contest this Thursday in search of the sexiest Dupre duplicate.

“Ms. Dupre has become an instant sex symbol, and men would happily pay to see her dance,” said Steve Hahn, General Manager of HQ. “We’re giving them the next best thing by combing the city for a girl who looks just like her.”

The reigning “almost Ashley Dupre” will be judged by "The Sopranos" star Dan Grimaldi, Big Apple icon The Naked Cowboy and a very special surprise guest (could it be Client #9?)

While the winner won't exactly get to tryst with a high-profile politician of her own, she will earn $500 and a two-week dancing contract at the club.

Meanwhile, aspiring singer Dupre has enlisted top music manager Jerry Blair, who once managed Mariah Carey's comeback, the New York Daily News reports.

"Ashley has a delicate situation," an insider told the News. "She can't do anything that generates income until she works out a deal" over potential charges.

Two sources close to the situation confirmed for the News that Blair had been representing Dupre to labels, but once source said "Every label passed" and another said "There has been quite a bit of interest."

Matt and Lucy Damon Want to Give Away Their Dirty Diaper Bag

We're assuming it will be washed, but they're not the only ones handing over their newborn necessities.

Pop Tarts has confirmed that Julianne Moore's giving away her high chair, Elisabeth Hasselback has had enough of her stroller/seat combo, Mariska Hargitay is donating her baby son's sneakers and track-suit, Elisabeth Rohm wants you to have her booster seat, Jeri Ryan is giving away her baby's goodies and even Tori Spelling isn't waiting to give birth again before she hands over something special, too.

Starting Tuesday evening (in time for Mother's Day) and ending May 9, these seven star-studded parents have teamed up with Johnson's to auction off their personal baby products, with all proceeds going to benefit new charity initiative babycause.com, powered by GlobalGiving.





Speaking for the first time since giving birth to a girl, Easton August, on April 10, "Law & Order" starlet Rohm told Tarts that she's "thrilled" to be giving away her lil' girl's goodies.

"This will be my first Mother's Day as a new mom, so the cause is near and dear to my heart," she said. "It means so much to me to participate in the program; I'm so thrilled to contribute."

The new mommies are all over the age of 30, debunking the myth that in Hollywood you're only "worth" something when you're super-young. According to an auction insider, these "hand-me-downs" are expected to make big bucks when the bidding war begins.

Christina Ricci to Hollywood: Pull the Pole Out of Your...

Opinionated starlet Christina Ricci has had enough with the Tinseltown talk about stripping and pole-dancing, and has lashed out at the "stupid" actresses whose greatest "passion" is to play an, er, erotic dancer.

“It used to be something that we were sort of ashamed of. You didn’t want to admit to people that you were a stripper. But now, the hottest thing to say is, ‘I can work a pole!’ Who gives a f—-? But it’s a huge, weird thing," Ricci told Blackbook magazine. "You see actresses, and their passion project is to play a stripper. It’s just stupid.”

Zach Braff Will 'Scrub' the Sky

It seems as though actor Zach Braff has come a long way since starring on the hit sitcom "Scrubs."

Pop Tarts spies caught the actor wooing a hot blonde at Hollywood's hottest Brazilian restaurant Bossa Nova last week. Braff was overheard telling his date about his plans to, oh, buy a helicopter.






"If you've got the money, you may as well buy one," the star was overheard saying, our inside source adding that he sounded and acted particularly "pompous and arrogant." Ouch.
