Watch Your Back, Tila Tequila! N.Y. Call Girl Seeking TV Fame

Eliot Spitzer's call girl pimps reality show -- Ashley Dupre is looking to extend her 15 minutes with a ''Pretty Woman''-like dating show

You saw this coming, didn't you? Ashley Dupré, the infamous prostitute used by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, is hoping to reinvent herself as a reality TV star. The 23-year-old New Jersey native has teamed up with production house Reveille (The Office) to pitch a reality dating show described as a cross between Pretty Woman and Cinderella, and will include Dupré working with a therapist to deal with her past and try to fall in love. Says a source close to the project: ''This is the story of a woman who is desperately seeking a second chance, and is willing to put her life on national TV to try to redeem herself.''
