Imprisoned club kid-turned-murderer Michael Alig could be released as soon as this month, he’s been telling friends on the outside.

“I go to my next hearing in a week . . . wish me luck,” Alig wrote in a holiday card to a pal last month. “If they release me I’d be home in January! I get a response in about 20 days . . . can’t wait to see everyone again,” he added.

Alig, who was played by Macaulay Culkin in the 2003 film “Party Monster,” is serving 10 to 20 years for murdering drug dealer Andre “Angel” Melendez in 1996.

We hear that Steve Lewis — who ran legendary New York nightclubs Limelight, Palladium, Tunnel, Life and Plaid, among others — has been visiting Alig in jail and could even produce a potential Alig reality show when he’s free.

Lewis didn’t return calls for comment by deadline.
