Paris Hilton to give Larry King post-jail interview

Los Angeles, June 24: Hotel heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton will give her first post-jail interview on CNN's ''Larry King Live'' on Wednesday, the show's spokeswoman said.

''She will be on for the hour,'' Bridget Leininger told Reuters yesterday. ''We had (filmmaker) Michael Moore originally scheduled for that time.'' News of King's exclusive comes the day after two major US broadcast networks, NBC and ABC, both passed on Hilton interviews amid reports and subsequent denials that they were willing to pay for the first interview.

Leininger said '''Larry King Live' does not pay for interviews.'' Hilton, 26, is expected to be released from jail on Tuesday after serving roughly half of her 45-day sentence for violating probation in a drunken-driving case.
