The 23-year-old call girl who was at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal earlier this year is developing a cable reality series, E! News reported Monday.

While a Dupre rep told E! News that his client “has no TV deal” a source told the outlet that she is developing a reality show with Handprint Entertainment production executives.

“They’re talking to MTV about Ashley being the next Tila Tequila,” a source close to the project told E! News.

MTV declined comment and Handprint Entertainment executives could not be reached, E! News reported.

After the scandal involving Dupre and Spitzer — which led to his resignation as governor of New York –Donald Trump was reportedly interested in casting Dupre for Lady or a Tramp, a new MTV reality series that will send a group of contemporary women to a boarding school environment where they’ll learn about self-improvement and female empowerment techniques.

A reality TV show producer faces criminal charges for allegedly confining several women to a Florida home, despite their requests to leave, a network reported.

Marc Brilleman is charged with false imprisonment after police raided the Apopka home where the “Pauper to Princess” reality show was being made, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported Monday. Neighbors said they alerted police amid rumors the eight women were not allowed to leave the home.

“(The women) said their cell phones were taken away from them so they were not able to make any contact with their family or friends. So, they said they were fearful and they were just trying to get out,” neighbor Lori Thompson said.

The princess reality show reportedly is based on the premise that eight young women would be made over into princesses while living in a home together.

Jim Johnson of Dream House Productions said the show “was a rated G production.” He intends have it aired on a network, WKMG reported.

The 35-year-old former Survivor: Vanuatu contestant became the tenth castaway eliminated from Survivor: Micronesia during last night’s broadcast.

“It kills me that [Ozzy Lusth] and [Amanda Kimmel] didn’t trust me, that I’m not still there playing with them,” said Ami after her ouster. “The one day I finally feel like I’m part of something is the day I get voted out. This game definitely plays tricks on you. You learn a lot about yourself, like I really need to keep my head up. I really need to stay strong. I’m blessed that I got to play this game twice.”

“You’re gonna have so much fun,” whispered Ami to Erik as she gave him a goodbye hug.

“You guys better start winning,” she warned before Jeff snuffed out her torch.

Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites next episode will air Thursday, April 10 at 8PM ET/PT, with the two tribes merging.

Matt McDonald became the third individual houseguest evicted from Big Brother during last night’s live broadcast of the CBS reality show.

Matt was a replacement nominee after James had originally nominated Ryan Quicksall, a 27-year-old college student from Columbus, OH, and Sheila Kennedy, a 45-year-old single mom and former Penthouse model from Reseda, CA, for eviction during Sunday night’s broadcast.

However James won this week’s Power of Veto competition.

When James subsequently learned Matt was against bringing him back into the competition — he back-doored Matt, taking Sheila off the block.

“Matt is on the block because he lied to my face about being the third vote when I got back into the house,” said James. “And he’s going to go home because of it.”

During last night’s live broadcast, Natalie, Sheila and Adam voted to evict Ryan; while Sharon, Chelsia and Joshuah voted to boot Matt.

The tie-breaker vote went to the HoH James, who opted to finish the back-door move and evict Matt.

“Matt you look devastated,” said Big Brother host Julie Chen once Matt had left the house.

“I am. I honestly am devastated,” answered Matt. “I thought I pulled through with the votes — apparently I didn’t. James just convicted the wrong man of a crime. I didn’t put him on the block and I didn’t back-door him last week. I voted to get him out but… wrongfully accused.”

Julie wondered why Matt didn’t campaign any harder with James, knowing he’d be the deciding vote if there was a tie.

“I tried to campaign to him,” replied Matt. “Talking to that kid’s like talking to a wall. He was my arch nemesis in the house — everybody knew it — I tried to cut a deal with him, and obviously we see where I’m sitting right now.”

Following Matt’s eviction, the seven remaining houseguests competed in the ninth season’s third individual HoH competition.

Adam won the challenge and became HoH for the first time.

“I got to nominate two people — but other than that — I’m extremely ecstatic that I won,” said Adam.

Big Brother: ‘Til Death Do You Part’s next episode will air Sunday, March 23 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS. In addition, Julie revealed Big Brother eighth-season winner Dick “Evel Dick” Donato will also appear during the Tuesday, March 25 broadcast to “give the houseguests a wake up call they won’t soon forget.”

TNT is entering the reality TV world.

The network announced it has begun development on six new unscripted series as part of a primetime programming shift that will change most of TNT’s schedule to original content by 2010.

The six unscripted projects — Wedding Day, The Greatest Show on Earth, Lean on Me, Crimes of the Century, Behind the Drama, and Shadow of a Doubt — represent almost half of the 14 new series TNT is currently either planning or developing.

“This dramatic expansion of our original programming slate is an important and exciting step in the evolution of our network,” said TNT executive Michael Wright. “We’re especially excited to add unscripted series to our lineup, which opens a whole new world of storytelling opportunities.”

ABC has ordered eight episodes of the series — the format of which obviously has a twist, however the network “requested” be kept quiet because production has yet to commence, according to The Reporter.

The yet-to-be-titled series is the product of Banks’ Bankable Productions; Kutcher and Jason Goldberg’s Katalyst Films; and Warner Horizon, with which Banks has a deal.

“There is absolutely no truth at all to Ashlee and [her father] Joe working on a new reality show,” Ashlee’s representative told In Touch Weekly in the magazine’s February 4 issue.

An insider told OK! Weekly last month that Joe was “pushing” a new I Love New York-like reality dating series starring his youngest daughter.

“It will put 14 guys in a house and they will compete to date Ashlee,” the insider told OK!. According to insider, the show had been tentatively titled Lipsync Jungle — a reference to Ashlee’s October 2004 Saturday Night Live lip-synching mishap.

Ashlee’s first foray into reality television was Summer 2004’s The Ashlee Simpson Show, which aired on MTV immediately following third-season episodes of Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, the reality series starring Ashlee’s big sister Jessica and her husband at the time Nick Lachey.

It followed the then-19-year-old as she recorded her debut album, “Autobiography,” which made its July 2004 debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album sales chart — presumably prompting the rumors that Joe was planning Lipsync Jungle prior to the release of Ashlee’s third album “Bittersweet World,” which is schedule to drop in March.

However there seemed to be a small snafu with the plan right from the start, as Ashlee has been dating Wentz — Fall Out Boy’s bassist — for more than a year.

Star Jones’ daily U.S. talk show on Court TV has been canceled, but Jones is not out of a job.

The move to drop the show comes as Court TV is being transformed into truTV, the New York Post reported Friday.

“Star will continue as a contributing legal expert to our weekday trial coverage. We appreciate the work she has contributed over the last few months and look forward to the next phase of our relationship,” the network said in a statement.

However, a source at truTV told the newspaper the network “decided to go in a different direction.”

“TruTV is not Court TV. It’s tabloidy. They wanted to dumb down her show. When (Jones) refused, they put no promotion behind it,” The Insider said.

Jones previously spent years as a panelist on the multi-host ABC daytime chat show “The View.”

After appearing as a Project Runway guest judge last year, the Sex and the City star’s Pretty Matches production company is developing a new reality competition series that would pit aspiring artists against each other, Daily Variety reported Tuesday. Parker is developing the untitled project with Magical Elves’ — the same production company behind Project Runway and Top Chef.

Magical Elves’ Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz Parker and her partner Alison Benson — who had been developing their own project with a similar concept were developing their own concept for a reality competition series centered around artists with former Miramax Television executive Eli Holzman, Variety reported. — were then brought in, according to Variety.

“We ended up marrying the two formats,” Cutforth told Variety.

The new reality series will follow 12 contestants as they compete in art-themed challenges, such as painting and photography or sculpting and industrial design, before having their creations rated by other contestants and a Project Runway- or Top Chef-like judging panel, Variety reported.

Cutforth characterized the art world as “risky creatively,” but made sure to point out skeptics felt the same way about Project Runway.

“Art is a much more inclusive world than people think,” he told Variety. “We really feel there’s a way to show people how much they care about art in the same way Runway showed people how much they care about clothes. That accessibility is why we think the show can work.”

The show’s concept will be pitched to various networks as soon as next week, Variety reported.

Actress Denise Richards is reportedly planning to let the public see her personal life via a new primetime reality series.

The 36-year-old Wild Things and Starship Troopers star has a deal in place for a primetime reality series that would focus on her “picking up the pieces of her life after her mother’s death,” Extra reported Tuesday. Richards’ mom passed away on December 1 due to cancer.

However Richards apparently has a hurdle if she wants her two young children to co-star with her in the show, as Extra reported her ex-husband Charlie Sheen has refused to allow the divorced couple’s two daughters — 3-year-old Sam and 2-year-old Lola — to appear onscreen.

“She continues to reveal what type of person and parent she is through her behavior,” Sheen told the syndicated entertainment news program. In addition, a “source close to Sheen” told Extra the Two and a Half Men actor “feels it’s exploitative of the children for the mother’s own vanity and greed.”

Since Sheen disagrees with Richards’ plans, she decided to attempt to get a family court judge to “revoke [Sheen's] power as their children’s father for the matter” so she can move forward on the show without his consent, according to Extra.

Although the hearing was closed to the public, a Tuesday afternoon Los Angeles family court hearing about the matter reportedly ended with a judge ruling that Sam and Lola will be able to appear in the show, TMZ.com reported Tuesday night. The judge reportedly put some unknown “general ground rules” and “certain restrictions” in place, however Richards was reportedly “very happy” with the judges’ ruling, according to TMZ.com.

Richards and Sheen wed in June 2002 before filing for divorce from the actor in March 2005 when she was six-months pregnant with Lola. While the couple briefly reconciled, they moved forward with their divorce last January and it was finalized in November.
