Ashley Dupre seems to have won one of life's lotteries.

She happened to be former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's whore and now she stands to make millions of dollars.

From FOX News:

Eliot Spitzer scandal call girl Ashley Dupre is weighing a $2 million deal offered by a veteran reality-show producer that could cast her as "a kind of Dr. Phil," the New York Post reported.

David Krieff, who brought together Amy Fisher and the Buttafuocos and Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding for TV specials, approached Dupre two weeks ago after getting a letter of commitment from an entertainment network and a major studio, he told The Post.

The producer and Dupre's lawyers and publicist have been discussing the details by phone and could seal the deal within the next two weeks, according to Krieff.

"It's a seven-figure deal," said Krieff. "There could be a book. It's an overall exclusive-rights deal," Krieff told the Post. "As far as I know, it's the only deal she's considering."

Krieff said Dupre wants a show "that maybe cleans up her image," and has expressed an interest in journalism and lounge singing.

"She also has a strong desire to give to a charity," he said. "She's very analytical. She wants to help people. She sees herself as a kind of Dr. Phil."

So Dupre is thinking about being a journalist or a lounge singer. That's interesting. Too bad she didn't try those career options out in the first place.

Dupre wants a show to "clean up her image"?

"She sees herself as a kind of Dr. Phil"???

(Dr. Phil must be thrilled.)

Dupre has shown that she has a strong desire to give, but in the past, it's been for her own profit. It seems to me that it still is all about her.

If she's sincere, I think it's great that Dupre wants to clean up her image. However, I don't think she accomplishes that through fame that came because she prostituted herself.

If she has a strong desire to give to a charity, why doesn't she volunteer somewhere?

Perhaps she could donate some of her past earnings to a good cause.

Jay Leno joked in his monologue about Dupre being offered a book deal.

He said that the book will also be available leather bound, but it will cost you extra.
