Katie Couric Gives Leg Show As Career Takes A Dive

Katie Couric was once the queen of broadcast news — but now she's dressing for sexcess while having plenty of time for a leisurely lunch in NYC! The 59-year-old renowned journalist is looking for plenty of attention while trying to get her disastrous career back on track!

“Katie used to live under a spotlight, and she loved it!” dished a spy. “But now she exists in the netherworld of the online-news world, and people have to make an effort to find her.”

The news diva became an overnight star when she stepped in to host "The Today Show" with Matt Lauer in 1991. But she left NBC in 2006 to join CBS, and became the first full-time female news anchor to host an evening new show on her own. But as Katie's ratings tanked, she suddenly discovered an interest in doing more “multidimensional” storytelling.

Her daytime show, “Katie,” debuted to strong ratings in 2012 — only to have the plug pulled less than two years later. She then bounced to Yahoo! as a global news anchor in  bid to create a “prestigious web destination.” Since then, Yahoo! has become one of the internet's most disastrous websites.

Katie's look on the streets of NYC was still a big improvement from when The National ENQUIRER caught her looking rough in April while guesting on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Katie has good reason to work on her look, too — since rumors are surging that the troubled Yahoo! empire can no longer afford a newsperson who isn't bringing in viewers. One source noted that while Katie is still a “brand name," she’s also “essentially been made virtually invisible!"
