SURI-REAL Katie Couric
Predictions that
Katie Couric would sex up the
CBS Evening News may turn out to be right. We hear she'll be channelling the spirit of the
Today show in her debut tonight by featuring
Vanity Fair's exclusive photos of
Suri Cruise, the daughter of
Tom Cruise and
Katie Holmes. Sources say that Couric will close the telecast with a look at the shots of the never-seen-in-public baby, including the magazine's cover photo and a photo from
VF's October issue, which the magazine is releasing tomorrow. "We're all stunned," says an executive at another network of the decision. "
Dan Rather,
Tom Brokaw ... they wouldn't even think of touching this." Others see the move as a slap in the face of her old bosses at NBC. "It would be a huge fuck-you to the
Today show," says a celebrity magazine editor.
