NEW YORK  —  Now that she's done singing about Eliot Spitzer, Ashley Dupre is taking steps to get a real music career under way.

An insider tells the New York Post's Page Six that the former high-end prostitute has signed a manager to help guide her career.

Her manager, Chris Lighty, has handled 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott. Dupre's earlier dreams of getting into show business got somewhat interrupted by her other career choices.
