Tattle: Career options spread out before Eliot's galpal, Ashley

SHE MAY charge $4,200 an hour as a call girl, but

Ashley Alexandra Dupre

(aka Kristen) is looking for something more fulfilling - something in which more than one man applauds when she's finished.

Is she going to write a book about bringing down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer with her hands tied behind her back? (It's just an expression - we don't know what kinky stuff they were into.)

And if she does, might we suggest the titles "Out of Orifice" or " 'Mr. Clean' Gets Balled."

Or is she going to make a quick cash-in on her notoriety by posing for a magazine - tasteful nudes for Playboy, government - classified shots for Penthouse or he put it here, here and here diagrams for Hustler?

Or will Ashley go for the big brass ring - the one not at the end of a handcuff - and try to make it as a singing star. We've already had the Singing Nun, why not the Singing Ho?

Billboard.com reports that top music-industry executives are pondering Ashley's chances after her since-deleted Myspace page became a phenomenon and she launched new songs on AmieStreet.com in her post-Spitzer coital bliss. AmieStreet has since jacked up (that's up) the price of her songs from free to 98 cents per download.

For an extra $4,199.02 Ashley will give any man a private performance of her songs and he'll end up singing.

Chris Anokute, senior A&R director at Capitol Records, told Billboard.com: "I think her song is absolutely terrible. If people are interested in signing her, then they shouldn't be in the music business. It'd be a shame to exploit her talent based on the unacceptable reality that she was involved in.

"Most importantly, it destroyed multiple families. I don't think the scandal will help her at all. In fact, I think the public is a bit smarter than we think they are. Even though she's had over a million hits on her My-Space, I think people are just going there to see her pictures and laugh at her attempt to pursue a music career."

Chris, you are not getting a freebie.

* As for a magazine

spread, "We've been looking at that very closely," said Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. "She's young. She's pretty. She's a model. We would love to do business with her, and we will approach her."

Penthouse publisher Diane Silberstein said that she would "love to have her in the magazine" and would consider offering her a cover shot.

"She sounds like a very interesting and talented young woman, and I'm sure she has a great story to tell," Silberstein said. "We promise to make it worth her while."

(Interesting? Talented? Meanwhile, your daughter with the 4.0 and the

Ph.D. can't get a job.)

So far, authorities haven't filed charges against Eliot or Ashley, but she has a lawyer and hasn't been speaking about her encounter with the governor while the case is under investigation.

Flynt suggested that by the time she does start talking, she may be too big a media phenomenon for a simple magazine layout.

"She is no doubt going to do a book," he said. "There will probably be a movie. I think she is going to have so many offers coming in that it will probably be wishful thinking just to get in the door."

And, somewhere, Jocelyn Kirsch kicks herself.

* Last night "Extra" laid down with Madam Jodi "Babydoll" Gibson, who went to jail for three years after she was caught running a popular Hollywood escort service.

"I used to go pick up literally suitcases full of money." Gibson said. "If I had a girl that was in the centerfold that month of Playboy, I could get her as much as $15,000 with the right guy just to walk in the room."

But how much did the girl have to pay to walk out of the room?

* Michael Jackson has refinanced Neverland ranch in time to save it from a public auction that was scheduled for later this month.

Jackson attorney L. Londell McMillan told the Associated Press yesterday that the pop star has worked out a "confidential" agreement with Fortress Investment Group.

Is Fortress run by a llama, a monkey and a giraffe?

* Best-selling British fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett said yesterday that he will donate $1 million to fund research into Alzheimer's disease, the incurable illness he was diagnosed with last year.

Pratchett announced in December that he has early-onset Alzheimer's, a rare form of the disease that strikes before age 65. He's 59.

Pratchett said that the donation would go to the Alzheimer's Research Trust, a British charity.

"There's nearly as many of us as there are cancer sufferers, and it looks as if the number of people with the disease will double within a generation," he told the charity's annual conference.

* People magazine reports that Miley Cyrus is reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Albert Einstein.

"It's really random," Miley said, "but it was the biggest book in the bookstore and I was like, 'I wanna show how smart I can be!' So that's what I got."

Miley plans to finish the book in 2018. Thankfully, dad Billy Ray will be there to help her with the Theory of Relativity: "You know your uncle, Miley, he's one of your relativities." *
