61. Because---hello! It makes the network look bad if they are PAYING for the interview.

62. Why doesn't NBC use the million to hire reporters to actually find some news stories.

They paid for the Princes, but at least they were worth it

63. PARIS-GIVE THE $300,000 THAT YOU ARE GETTING FOR YOU’RE PEOPLE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW TO CHARITY.

ANGELINA JOLIE HAD PEOPLE DONATE HER $400,000 FOR THE SHILO SPREAD TO THE CHARITY OF HER CHOICE. OTHERWISE SHE WOULD
NOT HAVE DONE THE INTERVIEW.

67. If in fact interview cancelled - finally someone is getting the message !! It is just simply immoral to pay money to someone who breakes the law!! It's a slap in the face of our justice system.

Is it possible the media are growing a "conscience" at last!!

Miss Paris needs to concentrate on getting her life in order and start off by saying "sorry" first of all - I haven't heard those words from her yet!! The first step in her healing process has not begun until she admits she did wrong and is truly sorry for her actions. It just seems that her puckered little mouth cannot form those words!

I have one word for Miss DUI - "therapy"!!

So, wonder just what lesson she has learned is any!!

68. FWI - #12 John Smith: BOTH "canceled" + "cancelled" are considered to be the correct spelling of the word, either use are equally acceptable.

69. I'm so glad that they arent using up a news program on this whore. plus, i thought she said it was sad that so much media attention was being given to her when there was a war going on. so why would she then contribute to the media circus?

70. It is amazing that a "serious" network would want to glorify Paris Hilton. But again, no wonder they hardly have any worthwhile programs. They think that by having Ms. Hilton they would get some viewers. I think not. In a way I wish that they would pay her the million dollars only to find out that nobody watched.

71. Someone will pay Paris for an interview and Paris will do it.
Her ADD/ Bi Polar / Depression should be the first thing she deals with, but sounds like that may be all cured now.
Sad if those things were just used, they are very serious illness's.
The new illness may be humble " Victim "

72. That is the best news I heard all day on TMZ. I don't know why this is even considered news!!!!

73. Unfortunately, she will be interviewed by someone somewhere.

74. If this is true, good for NBC. I hope all other news outlets follow their lead. Give your millions to help people who deserve it like the families in Charleston, SC who lost their loved ones while doing their job. God Bless each and every one of these firemen and all of their loved ones.

Why would anyone think hearing what this twit had to say was worth even $100? Much less one million. Give me a break....The channel for NBC will be deleted from my all of my TVs if they do this interview with this sorry excuse for a human being.
