Barbara Walters talks about Paris Hilton on Sirius

Monday, June 11, 2007 at 3:54 PM

Paris HiltonParis Hilton talked with Barbara Walters from behind bars on Sunday, and Barbara Walters is going to talk about the jail cell interview tonight at 6pm ET on Sirius Stars (ch 102).

The Barbara Live! format is a listener call-in show, giving callers the opportunity to interact directly with Barbara Walters. As a live broadcast series, the Sirius show focuses on varied compelling topics and major cultural events spanning the worlds of entertainment and politics.

Hilton told Walters that jail, and the furor surrounding her sentence, has made her realize her old ways no longer work.

"I feel as if I'm a different person. I've dropped my appeal. I don't want to cause any more problems," Paris told Walters in the phone interview [via ABC News].

"I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."

"God," she said, "has released me."
