LOS ANGELES — Stop that $1 million check: It turns out the call girl linked to Eliot Spitzer had already shed her clothes for "Girls Gone Wild" as an 18-year-old while partying in Miami, the video company's founder said Tuesday.
Joe Francis had reached out to Ashley Alexandra Dupre, now 22, with an offer of $1 million to appear in a non-nude spread for his company's new magazine, plus a chance to join the "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus, his company announced Tuesday.
But Francis said someone had a revelation at the Tuesday morning staff meeting: Did anyone think to check the archives?
They did, he said — and there she was.
"It'll save me a million bucks," Francis told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It's kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch."
Francis said at that point, his offer was off the table: "We actually had been dealing with her rep," he said. "Our (offer) was the real deal. We just never made the connection."
He said his employees got to work on pulling the footage and planned to offer it on the Web site by Tuesday evening, with a free sampling on the front page and the rest available with a $29.95 monthly subscription.

Oooh...so close.
Can we say...close but no cigar? (Bad Clinton reference there.)

there’s some guys I’d like to invite to my gym. this is one of them.
The old adage comes to mind:
Why pay for the cow when the milk is free?
I'd be happy to volunteer my services... y'know, to see if anyone else famous was in there...
In the NY Post version, Francis says Ashley was hotter at 18 before coke-whoring took its toll — and who knows more about exploiting teenage girls than him. This tramp is about to figure out the “sell by” date on nubile sluts barely outlasts poultry. Bravo Joe Francis, soulless creep.
Better start storing archival footage of random drunk hoochies on the off chance they might end up with a Democrat politician. Actually its a pretty good chance.
This is starting to sound like Forest Gump. I wonder where else she’s going to turn up.

I think he most likely knew he had previous video footage, made an offer to her and pulled it (knowing it’d get press), and then be able to sell lots of the previous videos he had of her.
The guy is a creep, but a good businessman.
Rumors are that nude pictures of her may hit the web today.
Something may not add up here. She says she’s 22 now, but she made these videos with GGW in 2003. Trolling in the kiddie pool again Joe?
I just read about this on one of the entertainment sites...and I too did the math. I hope this comes back to bite the ubercreepy Francis in the butt. I hope somebody down in FL in a Prosecutor’s office who is po’d that he ‘walked’ subpeonas the tapes (time date stamped or archived by same?) and does the math. Karma...its a good thing...
Okay, someone find the pics. They have to be out there on the i-net.
