Ashley Dupre filed a lawsuit yesterday against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis for $10 million for exploiting her name and image for profit.

Dupre claims that while vacationing in Florida in 2003, GGW reps came up to her and offered her alcohol before inducing her to expose her breasts and sign a wavier.  All of this while she was underage- 17.

Joe Francis is “amazed” that she is suing him because the tape was never released because she was underage at the time.  He does say that it “doesn’t matter” if she was underage, since she showed false identification and claimed to be older:

“It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification,” Francis told Usmagazine.com…“She’s seeking $10 Million for topless photos taken in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room,” he said. “These images were taken in public places and contain no sexual contact. We expect to triumph in this matter and continue to offer the best and hottest girls.”

Joe Francis has just recently been released from Nevada jail last month and continues to be facing federal tax evasion charges in that state.

He is currently being charged in Florida for allegedly filming underage girls in Panama City. He claims that he is not liable because the girls lied about their ages.

Dupre has not made a public appearance since the Eliot Spitzer scandal broke 6 weeks ago.  She has ambitions of becoming a pop star, and is said to have received over $200,000 for downloads of her songs. The NY Daily News reports today that she has a new manager for her music career and is shopping around for a label that will have her. Her Myspace has received over 10 million views.

And the offers just keep on coming in for the celebrity hooker.Guess who from this time? None other than Mr. Girls Gone Wild himself Joe Francis. He was just released from jail some hundred hours or so ago and he’s already back to business. Apparently she was offered $1MILLION to appear in Hustler and now Joe is matching the offer to launch his new Girls Gone Wild Magazine. AND…. wants her as the host foe the new Girls Gone Wild national tour. craziness!!!

Yesterday the world witnessed Gov. Eliot Spitzer, 48, falling from his high horse when he publicly announced his resignation.

I tried to watch the news and comprehend everything that was going on–ugh! This is what I got:

Apparently Gov. Spitzer was part a prostitution ring as a client on the website, Emperor’s Club VIP, which of course has now been taken down; he was known as “Client #9.”

Here is a little about the website:

If a customer had the money, Emperors’ Club VIP had the women. For the right price, the New York escort service flew prostitutes to Beverly Hills, London, Miami, Washington and/or Paris. Clients had the choice to pay with whatever form of payment they thought might protect their privacy. That could possibly be where Spitzer screwed up. He didn’t read the agreement clearly to know all the ends and outs of the possible payment structures–he made incremental cash payments to the company; but, he could have paid their other offshore companies–who knows at this point whether it would have helped. The FBI has so much dirt on this company and all of its “face” companies too–they wiretapped and recorded all of their text messages and phone calls that EVERYTHING was figured out.

Bargain prostitutes started at $1000 an hour. Seven-diamond women cost $3100 an hour. In recruiting employees for the club, it promoted the possibility that women could become an “icon” — an elite prostitute available to the most loyal clients for a minimum of $5500 an hour.

The prosecutors in this case said that The Emperors’ Club turned over millions of dollars in the past four years by supplying call girls to an untold number of wealthy clients like Gov. Spitzer. Other involved high profile names may be caught and announced later in time.

To help with the investigation of this case, prosecutors have brought forward one of the website’s prostitutes, Kristen, also known to customers as Ashley Alexandrea Dupre, Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro or Ashley R. Youmans. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court as a witness in the case against four people charged with operating the prostitution ring.

Ashley, 22, had an illegal liaison with Gov. Eliot Spitzer on February 13, 2008 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. She apparently was booked at about $1,000-an-hour, placing her in the middle of the seven-diamond scale.

Ashley told reporters that she does not want people to think that she is a monster. She claims that the case is too complicated to really understand all the details, according to The New York Times.

She has not been charged.

Here’s so more pics of some of the other girls that were available:
