Happy Birthday, Ashley Alexandra Dupre!

The Hollywood Gossip's favorite teenage runaway, aspiring singer and elite New York City prostitute, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, turns 23 today. Yay!

Just a few months ago, no one knew who Ashley Dupre was. She went by all sorts of other names - Ashley Youmans, Ashley DiPietro, Kristen, etc.

Then disgraced Gov. Eliot Spitzer was snared plunking down thousands of dollars an hour for the honor of doing her and everything changed.

Ashley Dupre was featured in the New York Times, becoming a household name overnight and selling over $200,000 in crappy online music downloads.

You gotta love America.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre: Tight butt. Loose morals.

It was later discovered that Dupre got all topless and naked for Joe Francis & Co. while vacationing in Florida (and lying about her age) in 2003.

She and the Girls Gone Wild founder are now trading barbs and lawsuits regarding his use of Ashley Dupre nude / topless footage.

How will it end? Nobody knows. But we're hopeful that Ashley finds a good career path now that her days of slinging poon are over... we think.
