Celebrity Justice
NBC Has Secret Code for Paris Interview

It does indeed look like Paris & family have inked a deal with NBC. TMZ has learned the NBC bureau in Burbank has been put on alert for a "possible Paris interview" and the project is so secret, it has a code name -- ROME!!!
Paris, Code Name: Rome
Sources say the camera staff, production assistants and others have been told the interview will be conducted by Meredith Vieira sometime next week and will air on "Today."

The buzz is -- NBC paid a cool mil for the sit-down. NBC rules prohibit paying for interviews, so our sources say the party line is that the network is paying for videos.

Stay cool,

32. I don't think that many of you realize that compared to the entire population, there is only a small amount of us that actually read these blogs and celebrity gossip sites......so by boycotting NBC, you're not really doing anything, seriously. Like it or not, Paris doesn't have nearly as many people as you think that actually don't like her.

33. This herpetic, crab infested, drug addict, certifed bum, part time porn star, daughter of a nobody, grand daughter of a somebody, good for nothing party goer is another case of the moral decaying of this country. A society that allows to commmit a crime, violate de laws, putting innocent bystander at risk and still profiting from it. Equal as thick is a network that provides the scene and background to parade, for the sake of ratings and exploiting peoples morbidity, a woman that represent all what is morally wrong and a bad example for the mentally weak.
What is the difference between the herpetic bitch and O.J. Simpson? The level of the offense.

36. I declare 06/25/07 Paris Hilton's Independence Day and Faith and a Friend Day. Ok who am I to do that, well, if Hallmark can add holidays to the calender then so can I. It would only be a good thing if it would catch on and we would celebrate them every year.

So what do these days mean and how do we celebrate them

For Paris Hilton's Independence Day wear pink to show your support for her. In her book, Confessions of an Heiress, she said wear pink to show you are happy so I think that would be a good way to show support.

Okay now if you do not support Paris, wear pink anyway to show support of someone else in your life who might be having a difficult time right now whether it is because of something they did, that they are facing, or struggling with, or even if they are suffering as the result of someone else's mistakes, maybe even your own, someone else's refusal to change, fight an addiction, for the innocent victims, show them your support. Wear pink!

If you are lucky enough to not know anyone in this situation or if you have nothing right now that you are facing, wear it to show love for your family, your friends, your neighbors, strangers, the soldiers fighting in Iraq.

Now Faith and a Friend Day is something that I have been trying to create, not a day, but a webside, www.faithandafriend.com. I secured the domain name and since I am so busy working and taking care of my little ones, and also since I am not skilled in this area, it is not complete but it is available so check it out and just make sure you check back later.

Faith and a Friend Day I dedicate to Paris this year. This is my idea that in our lives when we are dealing with different things, especially bad things, and even good things, no matter what they may be, what you need is faith. I am not promoting any specific religion here just faith, so I welcome all faiths, as long as you beleive in something. You have to have faith in yourself, your family, your friends, the world, faith that you are strong enough to make it through anything, faith that things will get better, faith to move on, and take life as an ongoing lesson. The friend part is that everyone needs at least one friend or family member to support them during these times, to tell them it is okay, to encourage them, comfort them, especially when others might be tearing them apart, reminding them of the bad thing they may have done.

My thought is that when people make mistakes, and we all do, if you accept the guilt, admit to what you did wrong, no matter what it may be, and you are truly sorry for what you did and have that regret, then people around you do not need to remind you of the bad. If you are truly sorry, there is a higher power that knows the truth, and sees all and knows all. Everything happens for a reason, is a lesson in life, we learn as we go.

So on this day, think about the people in your life or look at your own and do something positive, make a call to that friend in need and offer support not advice. Also if you can perform a random act of kindness to a stranger, anything, even just a smile. The other thing I say is more in regards to celebrities. We are like them only their lives are on display for us all to see and our soceity created this. We need them in our lives for entertainment, that is their career and they are good at it.
So if you are reading a tabloid magazine or watching one of the entertainment shows, watch it for the positive things, the weddings, the babies, the accomplishments, new movies, new music, etc. Why do we like to see them make mistakes and then point fingers at them and comment on them.

They make mistakes too and should be accountable. I am very proud of Paris. The tears she cried were tears of regret. She made a mistake and she could not take it back and just wanted to move on and we would not let her.

So when those shows or magazines show the bad in celebrities lives, turn it off, turn the volume down. Unless your life is perfect, you are perfect, turn it off, look at yourself and your family, the people you love, and spend some time with them. Beleive me I love those shows too and the magazines but maybe before I liked them for the wrong reasons. I do not want them to go away I just think the bad celebrities do and in general the bad anything does, is remembered sometimes more than the good. We do not know what we may face in the future, when we may make a wrong choice, and go from good to bad or when our lives may be turned upside down with tragedy.

For anyone out there who is guilty of anything, tell the truth, admit your guilt. I bet you will feel better. I say this even to criminals, murderers. I know why we have the court system, but if a person kills a child, just admit the guilt, accept the consequences, if not for yourself but for that family who is suffering. Let us all stop blaming others for the bad in our lives, our parents, grandparents, whoever. My parents were not perfect but they certainly did the best they could with the knowledge they had. No one gives us a book on how to live, how to be a parent, a spouse. Let go of the past and move on.

There is so much sadness and hurt in the world, in our own country. I know we can't change the world but maybe if anything we can improve our families, one at a time, and make sure the future is bright for all of our children. I know the parents out there would do anything for their children and that we support them no matter what.

I myself speak from experience and want to help others and that is why I have created this site and hopefully this day. This will always be a special day for me from this day forward whether Hallmark picks it up or not (Ha Ha).

I do not give advice, only suggestions, and I feel that the only time you can give advice or should give advice is if you have experienced something similar, for example the death of a child, otherwise support is better. Let that friend or family member cry and talk about their life. They are struggling. Each of us have our own personal battles, I know I do, and we fight them every day. We can only help ourselves and work through things.

I made mistakes, hurt other people, went to hell and back, was at the bottom, on the floor, not wanting to give up, and with my faith and a friend, and especially because of my children. I am not selfish and hurting them or making their lives bad because of my mistakes would be very selfish.

So on 06/25/07 celebrate Paris Hilton's Independence Day or someone else's independence day and Faith and a Friend Day. If you see a butterfly on that day, that is a sign of faith, hope, and freedom, of breaking away from the past and flying free, enjoying life and the wonderful people around us.

My message is be a person of integrity - Be willing to do the right thing no matter what the price.

37. Where is Huntley and Brinkley when you really need them. Their ghosts should rise up and haunt NBC and GE's management.

38. Maybe this is a better poll question.......



Should TMZ and Harvey stay on the Hilton payroll?


or


Should Harvey keep his nose a nice shade of O.J. brown?

39. I, for one, will not be watching this interview. What's so special about her jail stay compared to others? Just because she's a little rich b**ch who is used to the finer things in life and then has to give all that up for a few days, does not warrant an interview. I wish the media would stop glorifying her. She has not done anything in her lifetime worth mentioning.
