I mentioned on another thread that Teresa, Effin' and kin probably have quite a few Daimler Benzes, but they've registered them "creatively" so it doesn't look like they actually own them - just those good ol' American/Canadian Chryslers.

PageSix reports, you decide (excerpted):

NOT everyone who works for the "Today" show is a fan of Katie Couric. A loose-lipped staffer called us to claim that Couric demanded a helicopter to fly her to a Greenwich, Conn., memorial for NBC News correspondent David Bloom on Wednesday evening, after she heard that the network was flying Tom Brokaw out on a chopper right after the "NBC Nightly News."

"She's pulling a diva act with the helicopter just because Tom is getting one," sniped our source. "She is just out of control."

But while it's true that NBC flew Brokaw to Bloom's memorial - which was held at the home of Steve Cohen, chairman of hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors - "Today" executive producer Tom Touchet told PAGE SIX that choppering Couric out was entirely his idea, and that, anyway, she ended up taking a Metro-North train because it was actually quicker.

"I asked for a helicopter," Touchet said. "It came back that it took longer to take the helicopter, to drive to the helipad and back. Katie didn't even know about it. She wanted to take the faster way. In no way is she upset. In no way is this an issue."
