COURIC'S SCARY FUNNY: Katie Couric Katherine Anne "Katie" Couric (born January 7, 1957) is an American journalist who became well-known as co-host of NBC's Today. In 2006, she made a highly publicized move from NBC to CBS, and on September 5, 2006 she became the first woman to solo-anchor of the weekday  didn't broadcast ``The CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast.  Evening News'' from Loyola Marymount University Marymount University is a coeducational, four-year Catholic university whose main campus is located in Arlington, Virginia.

One was vanity.

``I said to the local camera crew, `I'll bet you guys are surprised at how good-looking I am in person,'' Couric told friends when she arrived at a cocktail party at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

The other was a job search.

``I want to personally thank Jerry Bruckheimer for allowing me to audition for the role of Keith Richards' wife in the upcoming `Pirates of the Caribbean This article is about the franchise.

Although she didn't speak to the media on the red carpet, Couric hosted the MTR's tribute to Bruckheimer and CBS head Leslie Moonves. ``It's fitting that, on the night before Halloween, we're honoring two of the scariest talents in television history,'' Couric said. ``These gentlemen are so successful, it's frightening.''

James Woods and Anthony LaPaglia also hailed the hot Hollywood twosome. And there were enough members of various ``CSI'' teams -- including William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, David Caruso, Gary Sinise and Emily Procter -- in the audience to intimidate any potential criminals.

But it was Couric's show. And when the evening ended, she wanted to illustrate that she totally understood the L.A. mind-set.

PAINT JOB: Elton John and Teri Hatcher have begun painting pedal cars. Their first child-size vehicles were auctioned at the Mercedes-Benz 17th Carousel of Hope gala on Saturday night. John's design was inspired by his ``Captain Fantastic'' album cover, while Thatcher Thatch·er   , Margaret Hilda. Baroness. Born 1925.

``I chose that design because a lot of people in this room feel like they live in a fishbowl,'' Hatcher said at a very private reception before the event at the Beverly Hilton. ``We might put Elton's design on one of our real cars,'' added John's partner, David Furnish.

Emcee Jay Leno, award honoree Quincy Jones, performers Barry Manilow, Usher, Sir Sidney Poitier, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Davis, Rita Wilson, Brooke Shields and Jeremy Piven all signed an unadorned car to benefit the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.

Then everyone engaged in social banter.

``How many dances did you learn and how long does it take to learn each one?'' Wilson asked Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, who've both appeared on ``Dancing With the Stars Dancing with the Stars is the name for a number of international television series based on the format of the British series Strictly Come Dancing. Nevertheless, not all the international versions share this title. .'' ``I'm standing with Brooke because she's the only girl I know who's taller than me,'' Stone explained to Barbara Davis.

Suzanne Somers took digital pics of Manilow, and a professional photographer asked Jones, who was being honored along with Clive Davis, to spell his name. He patiently complied.

``One award I got had misspelled it as Quincey,'' Jones explained. ``So I even spell Jones if anyone asks me to.''

Fortunately, his whole name was spelled correctly on the High Hopes Award he received that evening.
