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."

106. Why would they want to interview the hilton ho anyway - they are a huge corporation, they know when someone is way past their expiration date and is stinking like rotting fish - there isn't an HVAC system strong enough to deal with hilton ho's stench.

107. I honestly think if Paris DOES except $1 MILLION dollars for an after jail interview, she could turn it around BY DONATING THE ENTIRE $1 MILLION TO AN ORGANIZATION that supports victims of drunk drivers!!!!

110. This is BS, It was reported everywhere not only here.
NBC is now trying to deny it they are full of it, They offered her 1Million dollars because like Regis (good morning america) said if she wasn't ofered 1Million dollars the first interview would had been with Barbara and not NBC.. So it's ovious they had to offer her 1 million dollars to do it with them instead. Since TMZ found out and people started complaining well of course they are going to try to deny it so they wont look bad in front of the public. They did offer it to her! I don't doubt that & they are just mad because TMZ snitch them..LOL

111. If NBC lowers themselves to pay money and interview Paris, I will most definitely view other stations. For many years I have enjoyed The Today Show, but interviewing Paris will be the deal breaker. I will personally boycott all advertisers and their products. I know it won't make a difference since I am just one person, but I will feel better just for myself. I have enjoyed Matt Lauer, especially since I am a graduate of Ohio University as he is. but will stop watching to satisfy myself. I am still not understanding why so called intelligent newscasters are wasting their time reporting about Paris. She is famous only for being a party girl and having little to no intelligence. She is the worst example for young girls these days. Greedy, narcistic, unintelligent and arrogant. Characteristics most parents try to avoid teaching their children. At least I hope so ! I would hope that the silly Paris learns something from her time away from her party friends.

112. ABC & NBC were competing for the interview with Paris. ABC offered her 100,000 and the Hilton's promised the first interview to Barbara Walters because she is friend of the family,but then NBC offered her 1Million so she can do it with them instead. Even ABC said that NBC offered a crazy amount of money to win her over..They dint say crazy..lol but said it professional go read it on Yahoo & other news. Money Talks!!!
