Inside sources at NBC tell TMZ the network has just canceled its interview with Paris Hilton.
As TMZ reported, the Burbank bureau was preparing for the interview with Paris and Meredith Vieira for "Today."
But just a short time ago, honchos informed selected staff that the interview is dead. No reason was given.

3. Well, well, well. It looks as though all our outraged e-mails and phone calls to NBC and the Today show got their attention. Good for them for doing the right thing!

8. Responsible move if true.
The Hiltons need to stop pimping their daughter and worry about her illness's that we heard so much about.
Those just dont go away because one is released, Do they?

9. NBC did not offer Paris Hilton any money for the post-jail interview. The Hilton family and her publicist leaked a lie to the press and TMZ milked it because they love Paris. When NBC got wind of the story, they came forward and denied that they were paying her and went even farther and cancelled the interview. The Hilton family wanted the public to think their daughter was worth a million dollar post jail interview, which she is not.

11. The correct spelling is "cancelled." I guess Barbara Walters might be having her "get" with Paris Hilton, after all. RC in Austin, Texas

14. G-R-E-A-T!! Glad to hear it!! Hopefully NO ONE will pay this little CelebuTramp one PENNY for opening her mouth!!

15. Obviously this is a very smart move on NBC to pull the plug on this interview. What were they thinking in the first place paying Paris Hilton a million dollars to do an interview? Paris Hilton is not news and The Today Show is sinking faster than the Titanic. The Today Show was once a show I enjoyed BUT now if you don't catch the first 15 minutes you miss the news and then you have "Entertainment Today". Oh, and let'ts not forget all their commercial during a morning new program. There are double the amount of commercials during The Today Show then there are during night Prime time shows.
