Cashing In

Getting your own reality TV show after engaging in morally dubious or scandalous behavior is rapidly becoming part of the American Dream, a means of cashing in on one's 15 minutes of fame. The latest individual to take this path to celebrity and riches is Ashley Dupre, the $4,300 a night prostitute, noteworthy for her contribution in ending former New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer's once promising political career.
