16. 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?

17. That's because Barbara Walters is gonna do the interview. She has been friends of the HIltons for years. Duh, why wouldnt she get the coveted spot?

Then we get to see her sit in between both of her parents with visine in her eyes telling the story of how she was in jail. BOO HOO!

Oh it was so horrible, I didnt eat, i didnt sleep. I didnt have a pillow.
Wah wah...

Why dont you shut up learn from your mistakes, grow up and get a job?

22. NBC can't make it look like they paid for an interview, and this is WAYYYY too obvious

23. I think Barb had something to do with it. Either why would anyone want to pay her for an interview she has nothing interesting to say

25. I hope that they do not air an interview with Paris. Since when do we pay people who break the law. I have been so infureated with all the attention that she gets because she has money. I have a friend who is retired and he went thru a red light and cannot get thru to the court to make arrangements to pay and Paris is offered a Million dollars for really breaking the law. what has happened to good reporting. Is the news that desperate?

26. Good you shouldn't pay someone for drinking and driving

27. If they would have done a Paris interview, I would have never watched their news again. Leave that to ET or Extra.

28. I don't know who had their head up their ass, but obviously emailing them works.

29. CRAZY AMERICANS!

30. The reason for the cancellation is that NBC News has a policy of NOT paying for any interviews. However, when they -- the network -- offered to pay a million dollars to the Hiltons for the interviews, it was unclear WHO was paying it: NBC News? Or NBC Entertainment? If the latter, then why was Hilton being interviewed on "Today" which is NBC's morning NEWS show...? Or is it an entertainment show?

But NBC paid a ton to interview the princes...or was it News or Entertainment?
