The Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will pay Paris Hilton $800,000 to host her own Get Out of Jail party. Says Us Magazine's source, "It was in the works and signed before she went to jail."

But wait, there's more. NBC will pay her a cool $1 million for her first post-jail interview with Meredith Viera on the Today show. She won't talk to Matt Lauer, you see, because he made "disparaging remarks" about her. Poor thing...

And here's the kicker: ABC is pissed off because Barbara Walters spent so much time schmoozing her mother, Kathy, and wound up with nothing for her efforts. NBC's President & CEO Jeff Zucker sealed the deal with a call to her father, Rick.

I wonder if advocacy groups will be suing The Hard Rock and NBC for equal treatment when their clients are released from jail...
