NBC will pay Paris Hilton $1 million for her first interview after she gets out of jail, which is expected to be next Monday. The interview is expected to take place Tuesday. The New York Post says:
Sources told The Post the sit-down will be conducted by Meredith Vieira the day after the heir-head is sprung some time next week.
The deal has infuriated ABC executives, the sources said, because they were banking on Hilton's first remarks as a free woman going to Barbara Walters, who has become close with Hilton's mom, Kathy.
Hilton agreed to the interview, but said she'd only speak with Vieira because of "disparaging" remarks her co-host Matt Lauer made about her.
I'd be so happy if I owned stock in NBC, to see my money being spent so wisely. One million dollars to get into Paris Hiltons brain and hear her thought provoking observations is a bargain. Maybe next they can pay a dog one million dollars and ask him why he ate my shoe.
NBC is only good for SNL…but that's not saying much anymore.
Way ahead of you. I've been boycotting NBC ever since they cancelled "Alf".
The Jessica post ruined all others for the day….
I hope she turns up to the interview wasted. I also expect her to cry a few times during the talk.
actually paying a dog a milion bucks to ask why he ate the shoes would be more interesting than hearing Paris.
Please someoe give this poor poor girl some more free money. Why would anyone want to pay someone so much money to tell lies on national TV about how shes 'changed' … blah blah…nobody seems to care about REAL people who go to jail and ACTUALLY change…damnit i hate this bitch
Fuck NBC
That is all.
I would rather the thought provoking Katie Couric or Rosie o’ donnell do the interview-we need to hear what miss Hilton has to say…
i'd still fuck her.
with a baseball bat though.
Cue noname making an appearance soon
Why?
That is all.
I wouldn’t pay 2 cents to hear what that vacuous, narcissistic, slack-jawed, mouth-breather has to say. I’d rather pop pimples on a pig’s ass than watch NBC anyway.
I'm not that great at math or short-term history, but I'm pretty sure next Monday isn't 45 days after Vapid McLazy Eye went to jail.
Wasn't someone saying, at least for a little while, that she wasn't going to get any time off for good behavior? Surely the intertubes haven't lied to me!
What Robert said, only x 1 Billion.
NBC has been consistently heading towards the bottom of the network slag heap for several years. Gone are their fiscal glory days of Seinfeld, Friends, and every other eventually-syndicated show that made them zillions of dollars; in their stead are a bunch of lukewarm piles of crap. No, no, not even crap. Crap that's been devoured, defecated again, eaten once more and thrown up for good measure. They've got three shows worth watching on their entire schedule (SNL once in a while, which is still only a shadow of its former self, FNL, which makes the grade because it's got cheerleaders and good theme music, and Studio 60, which they've already axed for next season). Fuck NBC, fuck its affiliates, and fuck Jeff Zucker. With a rod of uranium. Covered in ebola.
WTF is happening to this country? A million dollars? Remind me again what that is for?
Well hell, NBC has been circling the drain for a while now. If it weren't for the Office or Earl, I wouldn't know it still existed.
Well, LA is fucked up, and they count every day you don't lash out as two, or some shit like that, because of overcrowding. So, to them, it's not time off, it's merely part of the process.
That said, FUCK THE LA JAIL SYSTEM. START ACTING LIKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
And instead of a dog talking about a shoe, I'd like to hear from the mole that keeps on ruining my well-groomed lawn.
v makes a sound argument. They ought to just burn $1 million, it'd be more interesting. OR put out a $1 million contract on Paris! And have a show where she is followed about as she hides and tries to avoid being killed. I'd watch that. Especially the series finale…
"So tell us Paris-was it hard?" "Are you glad to be out?" "How did you pass the time?" "Did you make any friends?" "Any advice for Nicole Richie?" "So what's next for Paris Hilton?" "Is it true you have bleeding, oozing herpes all up and down your cunty little ass crack?" Yep, that's worth a million dollars all right.
The only way i'd watch this interview was if it was being conducted by Jason Lee and Jamie Pressly in their "My Name Is Earl personas.
