Memo Details Bride's TV Deal
New York Post ^ | June 16, 2005 | Richard Johnson

Posted on 06/16/2005 8:46:10 AM PDT by Cecily

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 support your plan only if I am Matron of Honor and get to speak to Hannity on behalf of the Bridesmaids who are too overcome to speak.

I HATE how our society REWARDS bad behavior again and again and again! Grrrrr!
 
I don't think society rewards these pukes. The MSM does. It's just pathetic what these people think is news! I would like to meet the guy/gal that made this ½ million dollar deal so I could slap some sense into them.

Un-freakin'-believable! Hasn't this story been done before?? Surely, one of the network "Movies of the Week" has used this same premise. How about a Lifetime movie? Surely, they have done a movie with this plot. You mean NBC is so hard up for programming that it couldn't come up with something more original???? Guess not.
(And this is why I do not watch this crapola!!)

So it has been written . . . so let it be done!

CJ is my new matron of honor. (Sorry 'bout that, Hap, but I sense that CJ has more experience with distraught angry bridesmaids than either of us.)

We are faced, ladies, with two VERY important questions.

First, what color shall your taffeta dresses be?

Second, how large a butt-bow shall they have?

Can't wear crinolines under that one!

There's a name for those shoes, but if I post it I'll be banned.

LOL
