Celebrity Justice
NBC to TMZ -- How Dare You!

A rep with NBC told TMZ there was never anything to kill, because they never sealed the deal on a Paris interview.

Allison Gollust, Senior VP of NBC News Communications, told TMZ, "There's nothing to pull the plug on because we never committed to this."

But here's the deal. TMZ knows a producer was already assigned to the interview, which was supposed to air on "Today." Multiple sources tell us that camera people and associate producers were told to be ready, and that the piece would be shot in L.A. and edited in New York.

As TMZ first reported, honchos at the net told selected staffers today that the interview was dead. To that, Gollust said, "It can't be dead if it was never alive to begin with."

93. 76. Farrah - Fallon,

You dumb ass. Do you really think Paris is going to donate any money she "earns". Enough of your stupid comments already

AGREED. Farrah lives on Fantasy Island with Paris. Paris is not going to give in money to ANYONE. No one should pay to listen to this goof ball tell her story at ALL. No one should bother watching it, either.

Changed woman in 23 days? Yeah right. She still has herpes, that hasn't changed, she'll still be drinking, that hasn't changed, and she'll still go sans panties, that hasn't changed. Tell us Farrah, how has she changed? Because she now reads scripts from her publicist that don't say "that's hot!"

95. Reuters- NBC, ABC, and CBS have all said NO! to paying Paris for interviews. Even after numerous calls to Babwa Walters to get her on ABC, the execs said NO.

Never seen parents try so hard to pimp out their daughter, except for Dina Lohan. Which by the way, her Birthday Party has been canceled at Pure. HA-HA.

These girls need to be taught a lesson in a BIG, BIG way and if Hollywood isn't going to teach them, then we should by not buying any of their stuff, going to their movies, buying books, or watching any show that they are on.

96. All this attention to Paris just shows the world how stupid americas really are. God save this country and the white trash that idolizes this talentless douche bag.

97. Isn't there a war going on in Iraq? Don't we have men and women dying over there? Why ,don't some of these Pazz people go over there if they want to take pictures.? TMZ is such a suck ass (GUY) Harvey......can't believe a thing this board says any more..........Harvey you need to get your nose out of the Hiltons ASS.........Or..are they... paying you? Why don't you run down to the court (jail)personally and get the first photo of Paris release????? Then you can spin that Frickin' story the way you do everything else.....brown nosed bastard!

98. If Paris gets a Million Dollars from NBC, she better give it to the Homeless or a good reliable charity.
It is discusting for anybody to pay any money to her, when people are hungry and homeless right here.

101. I think that they realized what they were doing and that it is not a smart move and then backed out. I think that the negative press and all of the emails from the public changed their mind! I am so glad that it is canceled!

102.

I DONT BELIEVE ALOT FROM ANYONE , MEDIA , NEWSPAPER , GOVERNMENT

ETCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC ............THEY ALL LIE .

JUST LIKE PARIS'S LIFE IS ALL A MISERABLE LIE ............

Posted at 9:59PM on Jun 22nd 2007 by PARIS'S LIFE IS A LIE TOO .......ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE , MEDIA , ETC

103. Thank you for this story TMZ and proving to America and the world that Paris is poison and no longer marketable. I echo those people who have said the interview is no longer happening because of negative reaction from the public. I sent NBC an email letting them know I would not watch the interview or their programming if they rewarded criminal behavior.

It has been painfully obvious for some time that Mr. Levin is a paid shill for the Hilton family. Keep trying to push her down our throats and we'll keep proving she's no longer welcome.

104. Too bad NBC, I would have loved to see Matt interview Paris again. He had to interview the Tart when she was promoting her book, "How to Live like an Heiress"; and the look on his face was priceless!! He hated every minute of it and it took all the strength he had not to laugh in her face. I'm not a fan of either one of these people, but I'm happy to hear noone is interested in interviewing her. We've already heard too much about her daily activities in jail - what more can she say, and by the way WE DON'T CARE!!!

105. I haven't watched NBC since they got rid of ISMUS! I certainly would not waste my time watching that dimwit little twit!
