ASHLEY ALEXANDRA DUPRE, the call girl at the center of the Elliot Spitzer sex scandal, watched the potential earnings from her new-found fame drop by US$1 million Tuesday as old nude videos of her emerged.

Adult DVD distributor "Girls Gone Wild"discovered videos of a semi-nude Dupre, now 22, in its archives and plans to sell them on its Web site, a company spokesman said.

"Girls Gone Wild"had offered to pay Dupre US$1 million to pose nude in a magazine it plans to launch but, after discovering the old footage, the company withdrew its offer.

A "Girls Gone Wild"video crew met Dupre in Miami in 2003 and she stayed with them for a week shooting videos, the spokesman said.

Dupre's attorney Don D. Buchwald declined to comment.

Her public profile has skyrocketed since former New York Governor Spitzer resigned last week amid the prostitution scandal.

Dupre's MySpace page was hit more than 5 million times in the days immediately after the scandal broke. Her musical efforts, including two songs posted at the music sharing site Aime Street, were listened to hundreds of thousands of times and played on national airwaves in the United States.

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt said that he e-mailed Dupre offering her US$1 million to appear nude in his magazine. Flynt said that by the time Dupre starts talking, she may be too big a media phenomenon for a simple magazine spread. (SD-Agencies)
