Joran van der Sloot Eyeing TV Interview Payday

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 29th 2010 09:00AM

If we've learned anything about Joran van der Sloot in recent weeks (besides, y'know, his criminal behavior) it's that the dangerous Dutchman is absolutely giddy about the attention he's been getting since his arrest in Peru. You can't go a day without new developments in this sensational story, and now I've learned van der Sloot is itching to cash in big time for the TV cameras. How much? The answer, after the jump!

Joran van der Sloot TV Tell-All Worth $1 Million

Several TV insiders have told me that Dutch murder suspect Jordan van der Sloot has refused to give any TV interviews unless he gets paid. And the asking price? $1 million.

Joran

"It's amazing how this kid's mind works," one senior producer tells me. "He is on trial for murder and he is thinking about how he can make money selling interviews."

Van der Sloot is said to be thrilled with the amount of press attention he has received, telling Dutch newspaper De Telegraph, from his maximum-security cell in Miguel Castro prison, that he has even been receiving offers of marriage from female fans. Did the media attention he got from that print interview help him come up with that whopping $1 million price tag?

"It's a horrid thing to admit, but he could be right," one TV exec tells me. "An interview with him from behind bars would certainly get huge ratings. And when you think how much money the cast of 'Friends' got per half-hour episode, $1 million for van der Sloot could be considered a bargain."

The 22-year-old (possible serial killer?) is jailed while he awaits trial on charges of first-degree murder and robbery in the May 30 death of Stephany Flores in Peru. In addition, van der Sloot remains a person of interest in the 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

I will not be watching any interview. Will you?

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna Coming to Reality TV

The fantastic Lisa Rinna and that hunky husband of hers, Harry Hamlin, are getting ready to expose their lives to the cameras in the brand new, unscripted 'Harry Loves Lisa,' premiering on TV Land October 6.

Sources tell me a gaggle of cable nets were after the show, which follows the lives of the husband-and-wife duo along with their two darling daughters, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray. In the end, it was the ever-reliable TV Land, the same channel that recently tempted Betty White and Valerie Bertinelli back to TV, that won over Harry and Lisa. You'll remember, the duo played a married couple a while back on 'Veronica Mars,' so they have some experience!

"You think you know who Harry and I are separately and as a couple?" Lisa asked me. "Well, this show will blow that out of the water. It is fun, crazy, inspiring, vulnerable and very real. We peel back the layers of the onion and really show you our life and how we stay together in the land of Hollywood."

Angelina and Brad, I hope you two tune in with the rest of us on October 6.

I sure hope no interviewer is stupid enough to pay this animal a million dollars. I would NEVER watch that channel or read that magazine again. NEVER.

Joran really is the worst person on earth.

some one will pay and some one will watchl that's just the way it is.

By pop

Why bother doing an interview with this 'person'. He will only tell more lies, take his million, then change his story to another reporter for another million. He needs to be totally ignored and spend his time in jail alone.

By Linda Beeson

I am with you 'themeeker'; no way would I watch such stuff from a totally deranged human being, nor buy any rag that would print it.
I think in the US it is against the law to make money off such things.
besides, this idiot will be in prison for about 35 years; that should buy him a lot of protection in Peru prisons! I will be glad when they put him in the general population....

ya know, someone is going to pay him and the ratings will be very high...like it or not. Curiosity more than anything. Maybe like craning our necks out the window of a car to get a better view of a bad auto accident.
The sad part is that the media is the entity that made him a 'star.' And now they can't believe he wants bids for interviews. He's a monster, but the media brought him to life.

By Barb

Even if he gave an interview, no one would believe anything he says because he can't tell the truth no matter what. He is a nut job, now in his mind he thinks he is a star. Reminds me of OJ with that ego.

By mw

Pay this loser money, you have got to be kidding. He needs to rot in jail, nobody wants to hear from this dog.

By kyleb

I think viewers would not be enough to count.Would anyone ever watch a show that paid this inhumane, ultra ugly, watermelon head,weird looking,killer to tell his lies on a show that paid him a million dollars for killing two beautiful young ladies. Everytime he opens his mouth, he lies and then tells another one to verify that the last one was a lie. If they want to do a TV show of him being electrocuted, NOW THAT WOULD GET RATINGS. He is probably the worlds most hated man.(if you can call him a man)I believe his mother even hates him now that ratted on his dad for helping him get rid of Natalie's body as well as all of the stress he caused him probably was the cause of hid heart attack and his early death. She said, "I can no longer embrace him. " Now the mother has to work to support her other kids all alone.

Great Post Kyleb. Couldn't say it any better!!!!

By patticakes4u

Since not one of you will watch the interview...then why the hell are you reading articles on him? I think you will all watch!! I know I will. At least I am honest!

There's always one like you Patti. Please spare us.
