NBC News Confirms They Will Not Pay For Casey Anthony Interview.

Well, that answers that!

Although sources close to NBC News have already denied that they were negotiating prices with Casey Anthony‘s lawyer for an exclusive, first interview, a rep from the network has now officially confirmed it!

They reveal:

“NBC News has not and will not be in a bidding war for a Casey Anthony interview. No money has or will be offered, no licensing or other arrangements. If we were to conduct an interview it would be under our standards.”

However, they apparently DID cover the bill for lawyer Jose Baez‘s suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC last week, when he was reportedly figuring out his strategy for negotiations!

Yuck! We can’t believe that they would even CONSIDER trying to pay for her!

Glad that whatever plans they had fell through!

Phew!
