BEIJING,
June 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Jailed socialite Paris Hilton will give her first
post-prison interview on veteran CNN newsman Larry King's show on
Wednesday, the cable network has confirmed.
King would interview Hilton in a one-hour special on
Wednesday, just 24 hours after the 26-year-old star is released from prison in
Los Angeles, a spokeswoman said Saturday.
The show, "Larry King Live," does not pay for
interviews.
In a statement released through her publicist, Hilton
said she was pleased to be telling her side of the story on King's show.
"I am thrilled that Larry King has asked me to appear
on his program to discuss my experience in jail, what I have learned, how I have
grown and anything else he wants to talk about," she said.
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.
