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.

Highest Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

Why not just take away all the media, all the spectators, let him go to prison and let the inmates just have their way with him and if they kill him, so be it.

By Breathe

Yes! I think he should get paid a million dollars for his interview and the judge should award it to the families of the two women he killed. Every dime he makes on this publicity should go to them.

That's how I feel about it! Go ahead and pay him!

Vandersloot's mouth opens and stupidity spews out.

By roost400ex

How about instead of 1M we give this dirtbag a 15 cent bullet? Why is the media even humoring this guy by keeping his antics in the spotlight?

By Lnowak887

Why would anyone waste their time watching a TV interview with him,you can't believe a word von der Sloot says. How many times has he said he knows what happened to Natalie Hollway and when the police investagate they cant find anything. van der Sloot is just looking for attention, I hope that the TV stations are not stupid enough to pay him for more lies.

By shirley

the interview with joran van der sloot will not be worth watching. He will only tell more lies. None of what he says will be any truth to it so why watch it.He only wants the money to try and get himself out of prison.

Wednesday 30 June

By John

what's he going to do with a million dollars?? he's going to be in jail for the rest of his natural life. maybe he can use it to pay off the guys in the peruvian prison not to tag team him lol
what a loser!

Tuesday 06 July

give me an hour, a gallon of alcohol and a pair of pliers and i'll get the whole story! i'll go scipowicz on his a@@

By James Astson

HELL NO. just turn him loose in the general prison population.and hang him he is nuts. or give him 50 years prison time very hard labor.


By David

Whatever money this punk receives for the interview should go to the authorities for the cost of investigating his false reports and whatever is left should go to the victims families. NOTHING for the murderer!

By kira d clark

I hope that not one of you mindless hollywood types gives him one cent for his pathetic story. At some point humanity must take precedence over greed. This is one of the most low-life stories I have seen in a very long time

By Marcie

Isn't there a law against criminals making money from books, movies and interviews about their crimes? Who would want to watch an interview with that psycho anyway? I hope they put him away this time, so no other young girls get killed. His mother is a piece of work...."he's sick". He's killed 2 women and she thinks there might be something wrong with him! Millions of people are mentally ill and they don't hurt anyone. He's not sick, he's evil.

By APerfectGentlman

Here's an idea: Smack him around until he talks. This punk has the gall to think anyone cares what he says? He is a liar. Why would I waste my time watching him lie some more? Anyone who would pay him is a moron. Anyone who would watch him is beyond a loser. This guy is garbage. Put him back in jail in Peru and let the prisoners have their way with him.

By sandy

we have turned so far away from God stop asking him why bad things happen to this country and get on are face and pray for this place we really would pay 2 watch him speak on how he killed people are you all sick???????????????????????????????

By jimsphn

I really hope the press let's this little pissant's flame die out and he will be begging for ANYONE to interview him or pay him any attention at all. The way he has tortured those parents is a shame. Hope the judge keeps him in that prison and releases him to the general population.
