Paris Hilton Worth $1 Million to the Peacock
Today show scoring post-prison interview for $1 million?
One million dollars is what Paris Hilton is expected to pocket when she sits down with the Today show for her first post-prison interview. (What a difference the real thing makes.)
She'll chat with Meredith Vieira almost as soon as she gets out, says the Post, spurning the good graces of ABC which has seen Barbara Walters spewing incessantly about the jailbird's positive attributes.
Meanwhile, as Brian Montopoli notes, this was NBC News VP Bill Wheatley talking to the NYT in 2003: "We don't want there to be confusion on this overall policy: that we don't pay for interviews."
And neither do the tabloids, natch.
