I did a little bit of legwork and I agree with you whole heartedly, there isn't any financial advantage for the Star, plus I am sure that they don't want to be lumped into the same category as the National Enquirer and other pay for news organizations. I think that there is a certain stigma to paying for news as it decreases the validity of the news itself if it is known to have been paid for. They had nothing to gain by purchasing the video.
