Call me jaded, I believe Jerry Springer Inc. and Vivid Video are only putting out "stories" of offers then retracting them for double the publicity. Vivid could not have paid for the amount of press they got and I do not think they are a company with any ethical standards.
Baez's office stated that they received the offers from Vivid Entertainment and from someone who is somehow tied to getting people to appear on the Springer show (not directly from Springer, but someone who lines guests up on a freelace type basis).
