Paris Hilton Lands An Easy $1 Million For First After Jail Interview

June 21, 2007

 

I’m sure this is just the beginning to the money Paris Hilton is going to be making off of this whole jail situation.  NBC is going to pay her $1Million for the first interview of her out of jail and will air it on the ‘Today Show’.

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.

ABC was the front-runner until NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker personally called Hilton’s father Rick and made the pitch, the sources said.

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.

A spokeswoman for NBC did not return a call for comment.

Hilton’s spokesman Eliot Mintz said he “can’t confirm or deny” the report.
