Ashley Dupre and Girls Gone Wild

This is really rather amusing. Joe Francis, the founder of Girls Gone Wild, was willing to offer Ashley Alexandra Dupre $ 1 million to star in one of his video productions.

The thing is, he didn't realise that she had already been in one of his "films". That he was laready sitting on a way to make a fortune.

Just kidding. But according to the Associated Press, word came late Tuesday from Joe Francis that we will soon be seeing a whole lot more of Kristen aka Ashley Alexandra Dupre. You may recognize Joe's name from the reputation and fortune he's made from the "Girls Gone Wild" videos that have sold so many thousand copies but nobody you know says they've ever seen. The Ticket has never seen them either, but we're told these videos involve passing parades of what appear to be sophomore women in sophomoric displays of undress and other non-academic activities seemingly during spring break celebrations. Joe's been in some legal trouble for such things over the years, having been recently released in Florida for filming underage girls and still facing federal tax evasion charges. But that didn't stop him, he says, from offering a million dollars to Kristen's lawyer to film her.

So then Joe thought to check his inventory of tapes, to see is Ashley Dupre was already in them:

Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said a video has surfaced from 2003 which features Kristin, also known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, in a lesbian act at age 18.

Girls Gone Wild filmmaker Joe Francis says that Eilot Spitzer's infamous call girl, Kristin or known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, got her early start in a barely legal video.

When Ashley Alexandra Dupre celebrated her 18th birthday, she starred in a racy lesbian spring break video of Girls Gone Wild. Dupre is featured on seven reels of film called "Spring Break 2003."

"We have some really great footage of Ashley," Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said. "There's a very good shower scene that alone is worth the money." Francis also said that Ashley was "a total Girls Gone Wild groupie."

Well, I guess if you try to film just about any hot looking chick who's willing to be filmed, some of them will go on to become famous and the tapes will soar in value.

Los Angeles (eCanadaNow) - Just fresh out of prison, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis initially wanted to pay Ashley Alexandra Dupre $1 million to host his 2008 Girls Gone Wild Spring Break Tour and pose for his new GGW magazine. But Joe Francis  wisely withdrew that costly offer when someone tipped him off to the fact Ashley Alexandra Dupre appeared in a 2003 "Girls Gone Wild" Spring Break production aboard the "GGW" bus during an entire week in Miami celebrating her 18th birthday.

Although, umm, if Ashley Dupre is 22 now, in 2003 she would have been....
