Hilton Finally Visits ‘The Late Show’
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – With the second season of “The Simple Life” about to kick off, Paris Hilton is at last getting around to chatting with David Letterman.
The hotel heiress and star of the FOX series is scheduled to visit Letterman’s “Late Show” Monday (June 14).
“They have a lot in common,” “Late Show” an executive producer notes of Hilton and Letterman. “She’s the heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune, and he’s the heir to the Stadium Motor Lodge fortune.”
Hilton was originally scheduled to appear on “The Late Show” in November, prior to “The Simple Life’s” first-season premiere. However, that interview — and most of her pre-show publicity — fell victim to the minor scandal surrounding the now-infamous sex tape of her and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
At the time, Letterman joked on the air that her “crisis management” team was doing the wrong thing by keeping Hilton out of public view.
“All I want to say to Paris is you’re being led down the wrong path,” he said shortly after the interview was cancelled. “You come on this show, by god, we’ll make you a hero.”
With the sex-tape escapades pretty much faded from view, Hilton and her handlers have no problem now getting the socialite back in front of the cameras, where she spends much of her time anyway.
