THE US$1,000-an-hour prostitute reportedly hired by New York Governor Eliot Spitzer may soon make much more than that, turning her 15 minutes of infamy into a tidy sum of money.
Since 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupre was identified by The New York Times late on Wednesday as the governor's paramour, the prostitute and aspiring singer's songs have become the most popular downloads on a music-sharing Web site and at least one magazine is prepared to pay her US$1 million for a photo spread.
Dupre's music sites been viewed more than 300,000 times and artists get a 70 per cent cut of sales. If 1 million copies were sold, as some media outlets have estimated, then she's already made more than US$680,000 from her notoriety.
New York radio stations, including the top-rated Z100, have been playing her music on the airwaves. Her profile on the social networking Web site MySpace has had over 7 million page views.
Nice!
