76. I think the Today Show was setting themselves up to lose their remaining 2 or 3 viewers, that is why they pulled out.

HA HA!!!

77. How true, parents and family claim concern for Paris' medical and mental health conditions yet they pimp her to the press. Very telling, there you go on nderstanding the Hilton priorities.
My question, how does God and spiritual journey figure into this as was reported last week by family?

81. If NBC paid for thr interview that would have been the last time I watched any American News ever again. If TMZ paid for an interview that would be a different story but a news program they would have to been a bunch of morons. later

83. I am one of those who sent a nasty email to NBC and expressed my outrage of her profiting from committing a crime. Guess I wasn't the only one. Hah

84. Most people do not know the truth paris's famaliy is not rich it's the grandfather that has all the cash. Paris's family is waiting to inherit the cash that is why they are pimping the daughter. later

86. No Mo Rome? What are they thinking at NBC? The whole reason to have an interview with Paris is to score some quick ratings and attention, and thats exactly what was starting to happen. I guess this way is cheaper. they got their buzz, now they dont have to pay for an interview. theres still hope for Barbara Walters. http://www.hiltonbehindbars.com

87. PARIS,

I THINK YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. IF THE MONEY WOULD
BE SPENT ON THE CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE I THINK THINGS WOULD
HAVE GONE BETTER FOR THE INTERVIEW TO TAKE PLACE.

THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST TIME WE SEE YOU THOUGH THE MEDIA.
I THINK THAT FOR WHAT EVER REASON THE INTERVIEW WAS CANCELLED,IT
IS THE BEST THING FOR YOU. IT WAS TOTALLY UNREASONABLE FOR YOU
TO COME OUT OF JAIL AND JUMP RIGHT INTO AN INTERVIEW. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN THROUGH AN ORDEAL, AND IT SEEMS THAT YOU NOW HAVE TO ADJUST TO BEING BACK AT HOME, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO NEXT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP AT EVERY INTERVIEW. MAYBE YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW COULD BE ABOUT WHAT CHARITY YOU ARE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH.
SIGHN A DEAL WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE, CLEAR YOUR HEAD OUT AND THEN INTERVIEW ABOUT THE PROJECTS YOU ARE DOING.

I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT IF YOU DO AN INTERVIEW WITH PEOPLE MAGAZINE,
YOU SHOULD DONATE THE MONEY TO CHARITY. THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD THING BECAUSE IT WILL SHOW PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED, AND THAT MONEY DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING TO YOU. BEST THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN IDEA OF WHO YOU ARE BEFORE YOU COME BACK OUT SWINGING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS. LOOK AT ME AGAIN, HERE I AM!

DO SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY, BUT SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD FOR YOUR FUTURE AND DON'T LET THE WRONG INTERVIEWS CHANGE YOUR NEW IMAGE.
TAKING THE INTERVIEW FOR NBC WITH RUMORS THAT THEY WERE OFFERING 1MILLION AND YOU DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY MAKE A STATEMENT THAT IT WOULD BE FOR CHARITY WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO. THAT IS WHY I THING SO MUCH NEGATIVETY WAS PLACED ON THIS INTERVIEW WITH NBC.

CONGRATS ON GETTING THROUGH JAIL. YOU ARE A TOUGH COOKIE.
DO YOU STILL HAVE ALL THAT FROSTING ON TOP OF THE COOKIE???
I HOPE ITS JUST A THIN LAYER THIS TIME AROUND. TRY TO STAY GROUNDED.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

88. #12...Mr. John Smith, please check your dictionary...canceled and cancelled are both correct....Hooray for NBC!!!

89. Good Going NBC!!!!! I E-mailed NBC yesterday , and told them if they Supported a Drunk Driver on their Station I will Never tune into NBC again. I am sure I was not the only one ,the response was that they recieved 100's of E-mails. This TWIT does not deserve to make a Single Penny off of her so called "Jail Time". I WILL Boycot ANYONE that gives her any Air-Time. If enough People let their Feelings be known about it, No Respectful Journalist will give her the Satisfaction of being heard. NO ONE wants to hear this Little Skank talk about how "I've Changed"and "I've Found God". She just spews Garbage and I hope when she gets out she just Disappears into Thin Air. She is Soooo not a Role Model for anyone but Ignorant , Stupid People ( and a couple of youngsters)!!!!!!
