EW tells how Barbara got Monica

How did Barbara Walters snag the Monica Lewinsky interview without paying the cash-strapped intern? ABC News gave up overseas rights to Lewinsky's "20/20" chat, which means the scandal queen can sell her story -- i.e., fresh interviews -- to foreign news outlets. "It's not out of the norm," says an ABC News spokewoman of the arrangement. In fact, last year ABC struck a similar deal with Mob hitman Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, allowing him to make a killing abroad.
