We knew it was only a matter of time. Hallelujah! Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre is not going to squander her 15 minutes of X-rated fame. The woman who is arguably America’s sluttiest hip-hop singer still without a recording contract is reportedly in talks with MTV about starring in her own reality TV series.
While we’d prefer Ms. Dupre be pitching a show idea to Cinemax — for the sake of free artistic expression, mind you – the would-be reality program on MTV is a variation of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. In the Dupre version, our high-priced Jersey girl would pursue real and meaningful love with a number of eligible suitors (for irony’s sake, we think they should all be named John).
Don’t mistake this is just a crass attempt to cash in on notoriety. As Entertainment Weekly reported:
“Says a source close to the proposed series: ‘This is the story of a woman who is desperately seeking a second chance, and is willing to put her life under the microscope on national TV to try to redeem herself.’”
Oh, puh-sleaze. Er, puh-leeze. Remember those backward days of yesteryear when redemption was done far from the madding glare of the camera?
No? I don’t, either.
