PARTY GIRL COURIC CALLS IN 'SICK'

NBC's TODAY show host Katie Couric called in sick on Tuesday, taking a rest from her on-air duties.

"Katie's a bit under the weather," subhost Ann Curry informed disappointed viewers.

Couric, who just became the highest paid person in the history of the news business with a new multiyear, mulitmillion dollar contract, notified producers that she was suffering from mild flu, according to sources.

More than eyebrows were raised around NBC in New York City when photos started to appear on the wires Tuesday evening taken at a party in Boston -- photos showing Couric partying it up with boyfriend, powerproducer Tom Werner!

An estimated 800 movers and shakers gathered to celebrated the new owners of the Boston Red Sox.

A smiling Werner likened himself to John F. Kennedy touring France with the glamorous Jackie by his side. "I'm the man who accompanied Katie Couric to this party tonight," he quipped onstage, paraphrasing JFK's famous remark.

The dynamic duo ate, drank, and made merry for hours.

"I thought she was sick!" blasted one low-ranked NBC employee. "With all the budget cuts going on, with everyone cutting back, and doubling up... she takes all the money -- and then calls in sick!!"
