-- Stop that $1 million check: It turns out the call girl linked to Eliot Spitzer had already shed her clothes for "Girls Gone Wild"

Yes, the ho was an 18-year-old runaway living in one of her multiple states. While partying in Miami, Florida, she did a sexploitave for Girls Gone Wild, the video company's founder says.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre stars in seven "Girls Gone Wild" videos made when she was 18. Joe Francis reached out to Ashley Alexandra Dupre, now 22, with an offer of $1 million to appear in "Girls Gone Wild", 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 -- and there she was.

"It'll save me a million bucks," Francis said Tuesday. "It's kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch. We actually had been dealing with her rep. Our [offer] was the real deal. We just never made the connection."

He said his employees are 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. Dupre signed legal papers and spent a full week on the bus, filming seven full-length tapes that included nudity and same-sex encounters, according to the company. Her attorney, Don D. Buchwald, declined comment.

According to a "Girls Gone Wild" press release, Dupre visited Miami in 2003 to celebrate her 18th birthday. After fighting with a friend and getting thrown out of her hotel, Dupre found a nearby "Girls Gone Wild" bus, and started on her nude sexcapade, flashing her body and enjoying sexual interludes with boys and girls all week on the bus. "I personally ended up buying her a Greyhound bus ticket back home to North Carolina," said Francis, who returned to California last week after being sentenced to time served and fines in Florida in a case involving filming underage girls. He still faces trial on federal tax evasion charges that carry a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

Dupre's public profile has skyrocketed since Spitzer announced his resignation last week, after being accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes, including a February Valentine's Day tryst with Dupre, aka "Kristen,". Her MySpace page was hit more than 5 million times, her songs on music-download site Aime Street sold 2 million downloads for $0.98, making her an instant millionaire.

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt e-mailed Dupre an offer for $1 million to appear nude in his magazine, but didn't sound optimistic that she would settle for that amount. "She is no doubt going to do a book. There will probably be a movie," he said. "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."

Does this article, more than anything else, just make us all realize how sick our society is getting?
