Adult DVD distributor Girls Gone Wild discovered videos of a semi-nude Dupre, now 22, in its archives and plans to sell them on its website, a company spokesman said.


Girls Gone Wild head Joe Francis had offered to pay Dupre US$1 million to pose nude in a magazine it plans to launch but, after discovering the old footage, the company withdrew its offer.


"It'll save me a million bucks," Francis told The Associated Press. "It's kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch."


Last week, Spitzer resigned as governor of New York after news surfaced he had paid for a sexual encounter in Washington, D.C. The New York Times revealed that Dupre was the prostitute he had hired.
