Casey Anthony's the woman America currently loves to hate. Jerry Springer the man America hates to love. Throw them together in an episode of The Jerry Springer Show and the two just are sure to make riveting television, let alone blockbuster ratings.

Right?

The hardly reliable tandem of Star magazine and Radar Online is reporting that the ringmaster of tabloid trash has offered $1 million to the Florida native and her family to appear on his gabfest to discuss the murder case against her that ended with her surprise acquittal. he exclusive sit-down would be Anthony's first once she's released from jail on July 17.

So will we really see Casey and her clan duking it out on Springer? We asked around and determined the million-dollar offer is...

So false!

While a rep for Star is sticking by the story, Team Springer is sprinting in the opposite direction.

"There is absolutely no truth to this story whatsoever," a spokesman for the program tells E! News. "The Jerry Springer Show has not made any monetary offer to Casey Anthony and her family to appear on the program, nor will we."

Nancy Grace can exhale now.

But the question remains: if not Springer, then which talking head will land the first interview?

Don't worry, we'll let you know.
