Katie Couric Panties

Katie Couric hates the words “panties” and “celebrity.” She tells Esquire what she’s learned in a special feature in the current issue:

I didn’t dress up in a blazer and sit at a desk when I was a little girl and read the news, so my life has unfolded in a way that I haven’t really had that much control over. I never went searching for the Today-show opportunityâ€”I never saw myself in that role. I never really saw myself in this role. Timing has been everything for me in my life. It’s been interesting so far. It’s been challenging.

Being the youngest of four, I developed a certain amount of wily charm that got me through when maybe my brains weren’t sufficient.

[...]

Celebrity. I hate that word.

I hate the word panties. It’s a cheesy word for underpants.

[...]

Oh, my God, I’m so boring.
[...]

I’m in a bit of a box.

My younger daughter read something on some AOL blog, and it really bothered her. I said, “When people say something like that, they’re not talking about me as a person, they’re talking about me as a commodity.” I said, “Please, don’t take it personally for me.”

You guys even take a shot at me. You have something in the November issue, something about how since I’ve become an anchor, you don’t know me anymore. You don’t know me anymore? Bite me.

Those aren’t the most poignant things she said–she lost her 42-year-old husband to cancer a few years back–but certainly the most Google worthy. Jossip’s David asks, “Let This Post Be the First Google Listing for Searches on ‘Katie Couric Panties.’”

We’ll settle for second here. After all, I read that Esquire story a couple days ago and never once thought about a blog entry aiming at the “Katie Couric Panties” search audience. Damn that Jossip!
