Paris Hilton will be released from prison on Tuesday according to People. Sgt. Duane Allen, Jr. said, "There was some confusion as to whether it would be Monday or Tuesday, and we just wanted to let people know what was happening." So there it is, Paris Hilton will be back in our lives full time on Tuesday.
But when she comes out it will be interesting to see who gets her first televised interview because according to TMZ NBC dropped the interview and Variety says that ABC passed on the interview. Here is a great opportunity for CBS to build Katie Couric's ratings and pay for the interview because they will get it back two-fold. Personally I would be OK if they all turned down because then maybe she will live up to all the promises she seems to be making in jail.
UPDATE: Larry King scored the first interview with Paris Hilton on Wednesday. I wonder how much CNN paid for it? Plus it will be a really soft interview especially since Variety reported that her family has to approve all the questions.
On the same day it was revealed that NBC paid Paris Hilton $1 million to give them her first post-jail interview, Ryan Seacrest got her on the phone for free! E! News Live will be milking, I mean airing the interview tonight and tomorrow. In the interview she told him, "In a way, I'm really glad this happened, because it changed my life forever." She then told him, "I'm so much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food," Hilton told Seacrest, "You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it." she added, "frankly sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way." She also talked about what it is like being behind bars/glass "I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that. That's how the rules are, you have to be behind glass…I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It's hard but I'm stronger everyday." How long do you think the new Paris Hilton will last? I don't give it a month and you? Here is what she said she was looking forward to when she gets out, "I just can't wait to see my family and have a nice meal and be in my own bed and appreciate all the things I took for granted and never really thought much about." So maybe it will be longer than a month.
Paris also confirmed what her medical issue was that made Sheriff Lee Baca release her early, "I'm claustrophobic, and my cell is really small. It's hard. There's nothing to do but basically sit. A room with a bunkbed and a toilet and a desk. I was going a little bit crazy in the beginning. I'm getting used to it now."
Paris loves her fan mail, "I'll reread the letters, and I literally cry. It fills my heart and my soul," she said. "So much love. I had no idea there were that many people who cared." So if you want her to read your letter, you better send it now because she looks to be getting out of jail on Monday.
Page Six is reporting that Paris Hilton's neighbors are howling mad at the way she treats her pets. Here is what her neighbors said:
"She treats her animals horribly. They are always getting out and running around the neighborhood. She had a little orange kitty about a year ago that kept getting out and we kept telling her it was outside. She didn't seem like she cared, and then one day the cat got run over in the middle of the street and died. Not long after, little [Chihuahua] Tinkerbell came to my door and I left a note on her gate. Her assistant came over frantic and tried to offer me a $40 reward. I said, 'Don't insult me.' " Another neighbor said, "I found two little Chihuahuas of hers running up and down the street with cars and people going up and down. I put them in my bathroom and called Paris. Her assistant answered and said, 'You can't drop them off! Miss Hilton isn't home!' She took three hours to come get them. Meanwhile she lives five houses away."
If this is true, I hope she stays behind bars even longer than the 23 days. I hope the ASPCA reads this story and takes the animals aways. Because if she is not caring for them when they get out imagine how she is taking care of them when they are in the house? Throw away the key.
On another note Page Six is reporting that the Today Show is paying her $1 million to do her first post-jail interview. Jeff Zucker called her dad personally and made the offer that her father couldn't refuse. Which makes me wonder why is Zucker still running the network with morales like that? BTW Meredith Viera is the one that will be interviewing her, hopefully she will ask the $1 million dollar question because Paris is not worth that much. It should be a no holds barred interview for that price, but I am sure her parents put limitations on what they can ask.
OK! Magazine is reporting that Paris Hilton's agency Endeavor dropped her because of pressure from their A-List clients to do so. A source told the magazine, “They were getting a lot of pressure from bigger clients to get rid of Paris. None of them wanted to have the same agents as Paris; she’s an embarrassment to any real artist.” The source added it was Jessica Alba's feelings that put the final nail in the her coffin at Endeavor, “Jessica is the anti-Paris — a real star who hates the silly L.A. party scene that Paris reigns over. She made it clear to the folks at Endeavor — either Paris goes or she goes.” Sounds like when Paris gets out she won't have Hollywood behind her and good for Jessica Alba and the others to try to put a stop to the stars like Paris for giving Hollywood a negative image.
