JUDITH Regan did everything possible to keep her $500,000 deal with "Runaway Bride" Jennifer Wilbanks a secret. But PAGE SIX has obtained a copy of the "deal memo" that led to Wilbanks' interview with NBC's Katie Couric, plus an e-mail from Regan's office swearing Wilbanks and her family to secrecy. "I must stress the importance of keeping this deal and all its details absolutely confidential," Regan's assistant, Doug Grad, e-mailed the Wilbanks family this month.
"Nobody can know that this deal has gone through and those who do know . . . must keep it secret. Any leaks can lead to the cancellation of the first interview, and the cancellation of the deal. I cannot stress this strongly enough."
Secrecy was crucial because NBC News, like other network news divisions, has a policy against paying for interviews. NBC claims it hasn't paid a dime to Wilbanks or to Regan, who runs ReganMedia. But speculation has been rampant that Couric landed the Wilbanks interview as part of a $500,000 deal that included a TV movie.

I will not buy any book or see any movie about this. This woman deserves nothing.
I'll be sure not to watch it if it comes on TV.
Pocketbook journalism....LOL!
After all "The Man With the XRay Eyes" has already been done.
Well I have to admire Jennifer's fiance' for his high moral standards. In all honesty, she does have a pretty nice rack.
I still want to know how Willbanks is profiting from her crime as Georgia has a law against convicted felons (which Willbanks is) from profiting from their crimes.
LOL.
You can have her (and her breasts). I dated a nutjob 20 or so years ago, and she damn near drove me that way (some might suggest I didn't have far to go).
I think she got a bob job during the time she was in "seclusion".
Never met her - I swear.
I dunno.
I hope Jennifer has been watching the Natalie coverage so that she can see how people were upset about her disappearance in the same way. (I doubt if she'd care though)
Holy cows ping!
Looks like NBC's "NEWS" is no more than "PAID ENTERTAINMENT". Tell us something we didn't know, lol.
Wouldn't it make for a very short story? She was to get married she ran away she came back and lied to everyone! She's off her rocker end of story!
come and get it! ping
Step 1: Jettison any measure of self-respect you've ever had.
Step 2: Do something completely over-the-top stupid, like blow the President, fake your own abduction, declare jihad against the US...
Step 3: Pray for a media feeding frenzy, survive it, be declared a "victim"
Step 4: Sign lucrative book and/or movie deal
Step 5. Party time!
Speaking of, no word from Larry Flynt or Hugh Hefner? What's taking them so long?
Okay. I agree with you.
