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.
