Is The Hardest-Working Man In Showbusiness crushing on Katie Couric?

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has his eye on the face of the CBS Evening News, according to The Globe’s Loosh Lips column.

Just days after returning from a romantic Paris getaway with rumored new galpal Jasmine Waltz, Ry met Katie at a taping of American Idol, where the television personality allegedly confessed to a friend that he has always been a bit taken with the middle-aged newswoman.

A source says: “Katie kept looking Ryan up and down in his black suit. Later, Ryan revealed that he wouldn’t mind hooking up with Katie and kept asking if she was available.”

Earlier this month, Katie Couric joined the Twitter craze sweeping the nation, but the veteran newswoman will be the first tell you that she finds the social networking site a bit trivial.

“I Twitter and blog very selectively,” the CBS Evening News anchor said while speaking at the Walter Cronkite Awards at USC on Wednesday, according to Variety. “Some of it is so inane and narcissistic and bizarre, I don’t quite get it. I don’t know why anyone would want to read it, much less why I would want to write it.”

“I don’t think anybody gives a rat’s ass whether I am about to eat a tuna sandwich. I don’t even care.”

Katie also raked bloggers over the coals in her conference acceptance speech this week, noting that many more modern forms of media lack crediblity.

“For every one of those well-informed, well-educated bloggers, there is someone spouting vitriol and opinion without portfolio, and it is misleading,” she said. “It doesn’t have any editors, doesn’t have anyone holding their feet to the fire to say, ‘Is this factual? Is this true? Did you second source this?’”

“My parents have stories. They probably have better stories than I do,” Grammy-nominated singer Katy Perry says in an interview on Katie Couric’s All Access Grammy Special

“[But] they found God, you know?” Katy says of her parents, who are traveling Pentecostal ministers. “They needed to find God. Not that they needed to find God, God found them, really.”

Katie’s Grammy special airs this Wednesday night @ 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT on CBS.

This Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 9 PM, veteran newscaster Katie Couric will host an hour-long special in celebration of the 2009 Grammy Awards.

“I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen…That’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.”

“…Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe.”
