Five Things for Ashley Alexandra Dupre to Consider before Signing on with Girls Gone Wild

Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the 22-year-old in the middle of a heated scandal with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, has become a popular internet search. Moreover, the Girls Gone Wild series is now in negotiations to air her series of tapes and have put in an offer for $1 million dollars to do a tour for the company. It's since been moved off the table after the show's producers discovered that Dupre had already appeared in the videos.

There are five things that Ashley Alexandra Dupre and young girls in this position should know about before posing nude or doing videos like this.

The first thing is that what you do now might hurt you in the future. If you offer people a million dollars some people will do anything. You see shows like "Fear Factor" where people do things that are disgusting. But is the money you get now worth you future? What if Ashley Alexandra Dupre has a change of heart and wanted to have a career doing something very important? You might not get a lot of offers because of your past. This is something that can't be changed. It is best that you use discretion in making such a big decision.

The second thing is that you will never make as much money as the company. You are essentially being "pimped" by this company. If Ashley Alexandra Dupre is making a million they will make $50 million. It is best when you do this that you consult legal aid to hash out details. You want to make sure that if you do it, you will be taken care of. Some people negotiate for some up front money and some on the back end of DVD sales. This way if you do it and you can't get desirable work because you were in the movie, you can benefit from the residual money flowing into your pocket.

The third thing is that you can be infamous but never un-famous. People will always remember you for what you did. That is a hard box to be in because the privacy that you were once used to will go out the door. You open yourself up to stalkers and fans who think you are one way when you could be totally different. When you do things like that, you are shot into the spotlight and held by a certain scrutiny, Every time you do something, people will say that is Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the girl who was having sex with The Governor of New York. You have to take time to weigh out your options and decisions.

The fourth thing is having kids. If you do survive the storm and make it to a regular life, you have to worry about your kids seeing it. Kids tend to be cruel and make certain comments. They might scar you kids because of your actions. "Ugly Betty" star Vanessa Williams was "Miss America" but had to give her crown back after it was found out that she had taken provocative pictures that appeared in "Hustler" magazine. She was able to live it out but she had a great deal of shame and depression for many years. Today she is a respectable actress but not all stories turn out like that. Ashley Alexandra Dupre should look inside herself to make sure that is really what she wants.

The fifth and final thing is that you have to think about your family. Once people's names hit the papers, they are open game to the media. Your family will be scrutinized as well. Reports will hound them for quotes and information about the sanctity of your family. They will ask what made her do this or that. That is sometimes a hard pill for a parent to have to swallow about their kids. Ashley Alexandra Dupre should consult with her family and make sure they are ready to be thrust in the spotlight as well. The media will do anything and everything to find out crucial pieces of information so it is best to be prepared. I've heard of people leaving the porn industry and vanishing to a small town in Idaho to get away from all the media attention.

In closing, before making any decision you should weight the options. Fast money is not always good money. You have to think about longevity. There are many people who were known for one thing and when they branched into something else it failed. Monica Lewinsky will never be able to live down that shame that came when she slept with former President Bill Clinton. You have to really be confident in your ability to weather the storm called the media. If you can do that then you can make it but either way it is a gamble.
