Did Katie Couric sleep with married men to claw her way to the top of the heap in the news business? Star Magazine will report this week that in the unauthorized biography Katie: The Real Story, author Edward Klein describes a calculation vixen hidden behind Katie's perky TV personality.
"Yes, it can be said that Katie tried to sleep her way to the top," Klein tells Star.
The alleged affairs were suspiciously short-lived, says Klein: "Any emotional attachment on Katie's part did not appear to be particularly strong, since she left both of them and moved on!"
"After landing her first TV news job at CNN's Atlanta headquarters, Klein claims that Katie plunged into a steamy affair with a married, considerably older CNN exec. Soon, says the author, they were the talk of the newsroom - and were even spotted "making out." Klein writes that the exec saved her from getting fired several times. But even though Katie ditched the CNN honcho when she accepted a job at an NBC affiliate in Miami in the mid-1980's, his marriage soon ended."
The report details that once in Miami, Klein claims, Katie quickly lined up another high-profile lover, a 12-years-older, married, dad-of-two who was a media spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department. "[That] position put him in the know and made him a source par excellence for an ambitious young journalist like Katie," writes Klein. The two dated until Katie left Miami for Washington D.C. and took a job at anther NBC affiliate, according to the author.
Klein says, "in effect, Katie was responsible for braking up two marriages."

I tried to do that once, but the boss woke me up and fired me.
She’s a child of the Cindy Lauper “Girls Just Wanna Have Fuh-hun” generation. Did you expect anything different? I might be surprised if somebody produced a “Morning Talk Show Hostesses Gone Wild” video with her picture on the VHS box. Or maybe not.
You mean like "bringing them to a screeching halt"?
I bet Katie does NOT sue.
Braking (up) is hard to do.
I hate it when that happens.
I think it has something to do with being a "calculation vixen".
Well, she was a cheerleader.
TTIWWP
With big, gazonga, micro-chips, too!!!
Did the gazonga micro-chips slow down? The author needs a proofreader.
Literary emetic.
This might explain her on air colon exam.
If only she could sleep with all those Nielsen families.
I guess the guys were left hoping for a lube job?
Maybe the brakes just needed a little bleeding?
An unauthorized Star biography. That is where I go to find the truth about someone.
