Ashley Dupre - yes, her again - thinks she could be the next Dr. Phil ... in tight pants and stripper heels. Yup, we're talking reality TV style!

Previously, she was in talks to star in a reality show in which she would return to dating and search for a man. Yawn. But this is different.

The guy who brought Amy Fisher and Buttafuocos together for TV is trying to get Ashley Dupre, a.k.a. Ashley Youmans, a.k.a. Ashley DiPietro, a.k.a. Amber Arpaio, a.k.a. Kristen, a.k.a. former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's hooker, a TV deal.

"She sees herself as a kind of Dr. Phil," says David Krieff, reality TV producer, noting that Ashley Dupre already put together a "team" to help guide her career, and they nixed the notion of a Tila Tequila-style dating show.

"They wants something that shows the positive things in her life," says Krieff, presumably without even trying to be ironic.

One positive: She (supposedly) could get $2 million for the deal.

That's even easier money than gold-digging with T.J. Earle!
