| Couric |
Speaking to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, a CBS executive said Couric, 54, will launch a syndicated talk show in 2012 and several companies are vying for her services.
“We’re having ongoing discussions with Katie Couric,” said CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair on Sunday. “We have no announcements to make at this time. Until we do, we will continue to decline comment on rumor or speculation.”\
Recent reports claimed the busty broadcaster quitting her CBS Evening News anchor job for the sake of her children and herself.
The former Today show star, 54, is ready to sign off in June when her $15 million-a-year contract expires, according to American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“Katie feels she has nothing else to prove in the job,” divulged a close friend.
“Katie traveled at great personal risk to Egypt during the country’s recent revolution, and the dangerous trip made her realize that she needs to stay out of harm’s way for the sake of her two daughters whom she is raising as a single mom.
“She also wants time to heat up her romance with her longtime boyfriend Brooks Perlin, who is 17 years younger.”
