Paris Hilton Will Do Her Interview With Meredith Vieira… Maybe
This is from Six Page; so don’t expect it to be 100% true.
Personnally, I would prefer her to do it with Barbara Walters.
Barbara Walters knows Paris Hilton and her family way better than Meredith Vieira, who is also a good choice.
Contrary to what this article reports, Barbara Walters was always close to the Hilton family.
NBC has agreed to pay as much as $1 million for Paris Hilton’s first after-jail interview, which will appear on the “Today” show, The Post has learned.
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.
If Hilton’s jailhouse fan mail is any indication, the interview will fetch great ratings. She has received almost 5,000 pieces during her three weeks behind bars and she’s writing back to her admirers, authorities said yesterday.

I’d rather her do the interview with Barbara b/c for one Barbara is more well respected as a journalist. So it’d make Paris look good/better that someone like Barbara was interviewing her. Also I like Barbara more than I do Meredith. How will we know whether this is true or not? Just watch “Today” show the day after she gets out?

Oh, I think we can believe it. I just want to throw up. She’s a selfish pig and a criminal and gets rewarded for it. Nice work if you can get it, I guess. This person had some good thinking about the interview and what Paris should do:

Eventually, she would have to do an interview, and she was supposed to. I think it’s good deal. She should use this interview to explain the world the real story and how she has changed. It’s a very good opportunity for her.
I think the money belongs to her, and since she is a celebrity, it is perfectly normal. I also think she should use that money for her second music album. lol But it doesn’t really matter.
Personally, I don’t care about the money. I care more about what she has to say.
