Katie Couric shows off her lavish Hamptons house DailyMail 6/9/11 John Stevens dailymail.co.uk After this week announcing plans to become a daytime talk show host, Katie Couric has opened the doors of the home where she will be going to relax at the weekends. The 54-year-old, who on Monday was revealed as ABC’s replacement for Oprah, showed off her seven bedroom country retreat in the Hamptons. ‘I decided that I’m really a beach person and would go to a house in the Hamptons much more often, especially since I have lots of great friends there,’ said Miss Couric who already owned a country house in Millbrook New York. ‘I wanted something casual and relaxed—something without a lot of trees. I didn’t want to be deep in the woods,’ she told Hamptons Cottages and Gardens magazine in an article by Andrea Hope Smith. The former Today Show host paid $6.3 million for the two-storey home in East Hampton, New York. She said she fell in love with it immediately. ‘The rooms were spacious and had lots of sun, and as soon as I walked in I could picture my family being there,’ she said. ‘Its proximity to town was convenient for my daughters, and it was close enough to the ocean, on a pretty street that wasn’t very busy. It met all the requirements.’ ‘I love doing all the typical things in the Hamptons, like making dinner with friends,’ she added. ‘The minute I walk in the door here, I’m able to exhale in a way that I can never quite do in the city.” During the week, Katie Couric and her two daughters, Ellie and Carrie, live in an apartment worth a reported $3.2 million on Manhattan's Park Avenue.

Matt Damon stands by Weiner June 07, 2011 politico.com Rep. Anthony Weiner’s wife may not have stood by her man at his press conference on Monday, but actor Matt Damon is sticking by the congressman. Damon was scheduled to hold a fundraiser for the now scandal-tarred rep on June 20 at the Almond Restaurant in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. According to New York magazine, he has decided to postpone it rather than cancel it. "It’s going to be postponed now because of all this," Damon told the mag at the Made in NY Awards on Monday night. "Look, I really support his politics …Anybody who fights for the working class and the middle class, I’ll help in any way I can,” continued Damon. The New York Daily News originally reported the fundraiser and pointed out that the Almond Restaurant is co-owned by the rep’s brother, Jason Weiner. Tickets for the event range from $250 up to a whopping $10,000 for a chance to party privately with Damon and the congressman.
