CNN has won the battle for Paris.

A CNN rep confirms to Usmagazine.com that Paris Hilton has agreed to give her first post-jail television interview to Larry King this Wednesday night. The network tells Us the interview will be conducted over the entire hour of the program in the Larry King Live studio in Los Angeles and, according to a CNN source, "Paris will not be paid a dime for the interview."

CNN spokesperson Bridget Leininger also tells Us: "Larry doesn't tell us production details, but what I can tell you is that Larry does not pay for interviews and there are no ground rules."

The news that Hilton, who is scheduled to be released this Tuesday from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, will share details of her 23-day incarceration with CNN - for free - comes just one day after a $1 million deal with NBC News reportedly fell through and after family friend Barbara Walters reportedly declined a personal request by Hilton that she conduct a paid interview for ABC. A $300,000 photo exclusive with People was also reportedly scrapped.

Hilton's interview on Larry King Live will air Wednesday at 9 p.m. E.T.
