Ashley Alexandra Dupre (aka Kristen), the call girl linked to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is suing "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis for more than $10 million.

And to think that when she was a teen looking to catch some rays and an STD during Spring Break, he let her sleep on his bus.

And probably shower.

What thanks does he get? A lawsuit. Ashley filed suit yesterday in Miami, claiming she never gave Francis permission to use her name and likeness to advertise his GGW videos.

Ashley contends she was 17 and not old enough to sign a contract when the videos were taken in 2003 in Miami Beach.

Yes, she was old enough to strip nekkid and frolic for the camera, but she was not old enough to give herself permission.

And if she really was 17, Francis may have another problem.

'Baby Mama' for real

No wonder Amy Poehler was glowing at the "Baby Mama" press event two weeks ago. She was pregnant.

"SNL" vet Poehler, who co-stars with Upper Darby's Tina Fey in "The No. 1 pregnancy comedy in America" (available for blurb purposes only, please credit Tattle, Philadelphia Daily News) is expecting her first child with husband Will Arnett ("Arrested Development," "30 Rock"), the couple's publicist, Lewis Kay, said yesterday.

The couple married in 2003. The baby is due sometime this fall.

The pair will spend this summer in Italy, where Amy will get fat on delicious food and water weight and Arnett will shoot "When in Rome" with Kristen Bell.

Miley, shut the f-stop up

Photographer Annie Leibovitz responded yesterday to Miley Cyrus's comment she was embarrassed by Annie's Vanity Fair photos.

"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," Leibovitz said in a statement. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."

The Miley pics accompany an interview with her and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, which should be titled, "Why is Vanity Fair talking to a 15-year-old anyway?"

Although Tattle found the photo of Miley lying atop Billy Ray the creepiest, it's another photo that's causing the fuss - one in which Miley is wrapped in a bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed.

Yes, her back. While the hue and cry originating from some point where there is absolutely nothing important to complain about implies Miley is topless, her top is completely covered by the sheet. And it's not a Lindsay Lohan see-through sheet.

But her bosses at Disney Channel are not happy.

"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," a Disney Channel statement said.

Sell magazines to whom, we wonder? Tween girls won't be buying Vanity Fair to see Miley's back.

Vanity Fair, of course, defended the story and photo shoot.

"Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day," the mag said in a statement. "Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."

And in a caption released by Vanity Fair with the photo, Miley thought so, too.

"I think it's really artsy," she told the mag at the time. "It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie."

Your parents could.

And they didn't.

End of story.

Is Clemens a little bit country?

Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with ex-country hottie Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and he was pitching for the Boston Red Sox, the New York Daily News reported.

Roger's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed the relationship but told the paper it was not sexual.

"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He's considered her a close family friend. . . . He has never had a sexual relationship with her."

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he met McCready, the paper reported.

The revelation could undermine Clemens' reputation, which is central to the defamation suit he has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major-league career.

"If true, it's just another example of Roger's pervasive prevarications which will be at the core of any defamation case," said McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, in an e-mail to the Associated Press.

Huh? Unless he did have sex with her, what did Clemens lie about? The notion that an athlete from Texas might be friends with a country music singer isn't exactly hard to believe.

* The Hollywood Reporter says Angela Bassett will join "ER" as a regular next season.

She'll play a tough nurse with the required troubled past (that must be a box one checks on the job app at County General) who returns to Chicago after doing tsunami relief.

* Britney Spears will take another dip in the "How I Met Your Mother" well on the show's May 12 episode.

She was pretty good the first time around. As we said years ago, give up on the music, Britney. Make a sitcom.

Call us, we have ideas. *
