You may be seeing Ashley Dupre in something besides a tabloid in the future. David Krieff, the reality show producer "who brought together Amy Fisher and the Buttafuocos for a TV special and did a similar pairing of rival ice queens Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding," tells the NY Post he's offered Dupre $2 million for an entertainment deal. Krieff would like an interview with the infamous escort, but he suggests that there could be a reality show which would include her "life as the stepdaughter of a wealthy oral surgeon." Dupre is also apparently interested in journalism, lounge singing and helping people; Krieff says, "She's very analytical...She sees herself as a kind of Dr. Phil."
