娱乐英语新闻：New chances for Spitzer call girl "Kristen"

BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Ashley Alexandra Dupre, more famous as "Kristen", the call-girl embroiled in the prostitution scandal that forced New Yok governor Eliot Spitzer to resign, seems to have more chances for her musical career after her identification was exposed to public.

    Top talent scouts are weighing in on her chances after the 22-year-old racked up millions of MySpace views and launched much-sought-after new songs on priced-by-demand Web site AmieStreet.com since the Spitzer story broke.

    Before Dupre's MySpace page was deleted Thursday, it had received 4,612,397 views and her song "What We Want" touted 711,334 plays.

    "People want to see if there's an opportunity there," says Ted Cohen, a former talent scout for Warner Bros. and now managing partner at TAG Strategic, which advises startup music companies on all aspects of digital media.

    "Is what she's posted a hit? No. But if someone like Jay-Z or Danger Mouse or Jimmy Iovine wanted to give her a shot, she'll have a shot," said Cohen.

    Music publicist Diana Baron suggested that Dupre's best shot is to end up in some glossy lad magazines, then segue from that platform to a music contract.

    Dupre's mother, Carolyn Capalbo, 46, told media earlier that her daughter "is a very bright girl who can handle someone like the governor."

    And friends in Dupre's hometown, New Jersey, called Dupre a "good, good girl" who was a cheerleader in middle school, babysat for neighborhood kids, and liked to karaoke to pop tunes in her ribbon-decorated bedroom.
