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.

Any money for this story should be used to teach young girls how to avoid danger,don't be caught alone with strangers.

I am not a believer of violence ... but this M-F should be hung and shot at the same time and give this world some peace. He is a psyco and a murderer, and should pay the price of his deeds.

By Dyan

All that bastard deserves is a bullet in the head. He hasn't ever told the truth, so why would he start now.

For a million, I'd expect an interview, and be able to kick him in the nuts as hard as I could 10 times with steel toed boots.

By P Adams

Why spend cash on an interview, just watch the trial nobody lies there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By kaye locklin

He has lied so much, how in the hell would you believe him. He needs to pay the price of killing these girls. I hope he has to stay in jail and think about what he has done. Daddy is not there now, but Moma is saying he is mental. bull on all that.

Can you really get paid for being a socio/psychopath? And here I went to school, worked hard all my life and never hurt a single soul......

If ANY magazine, reporter, news media of any kind pays this jerk a single penny THEY should be boycotted. If anyone has that money to WASTE on this piece of crap, liar, they should take it an donate it to a needy charity instead. More pragmatically, he'll change that story a dozen times ...... when and who will get the "real" story? Actually, he really needs to be ignored by everyone except the lawyers and judges. The media is giving him just what he wants - attention. Screw you Juron.

By sam

how to beat a murder rap, tell as many different lies as you can, its worked for Der SLOOT MANY TIMES, HE WILL GET OUT OF THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT KNOW WHICH LIE TO BELIEVE.

By Dawn

We need to stop rewarding bad behavior. This guy is a nut case, ignore him!! He'll just keep on lying anyway,

By hoverZero

I lifted up a rock and there was a big gross worm under it and my friend said "man, leave Joran alone!!"

By Catjerome

Joran VanderSnoot is a dead man. The only question in this whole sordid mess is how much longer until he is.

By ccmadonna

i'll actively boycott any media that interviews this monster.

I agree 100% with you. I'd be willing to sign a petition anything to stop those idiots giving him any money or additional fame.

By jane

Would not watch a second of any interview with that twisted individual. llhope no network is supid enough to pay him.....what a dsgrace he is.....to not tell the truth about Natalie Holloway...whatever his sick twisted game is I hope he rots in a peruvian jail.

By richard

people are curious and will watch. it is human nature.
it depends why you are watching.,
i believe he is done for this time.
2 murders that we know about.
this is his swan song.

By Stewart Allen

I WANT 5 minutes with that MORON! I will have him talking, and telling the truth I promise!!!!!!! Remember Law Abiding Citizen?

By firstcitizen

give him a million volts for what he did to those girls

By CV

I would sure hope that the families of the victims would sue for any money paid for an interview. What slime.

By Marie Wilkinson

Here's a thought.....put the creep in general population at Peru's Lurigancho Prison and see how well he talks and lies his way out of the treatment he's in for there! Now I would pay to see that!

By big easy

If any organization or person is stupid enough to pay this guy one cent for his pack of lies, then they're more stupid then anyone who would tune in. Tune in? Why? To hear a pack of lies from this pathological liar? What, are you stupid or something? Please tell me no one is stupid enough to do this.
