MOVE over Matt — Katie Couric's new squeeze is a boyish-looking jazz trumpeter named Chris Botti.
The musician, 42, who has opened for pop star Sting and is promoting his own CD, told USA Today that he's nuts about the morning show pixie.
"She's brilliant and beautiful and really, really fun," Botti says of Couric, 47. She knows about music, "but then, she's up on everything. She's so intelligent."
Rumors about Botti and Couric have been swirling for weeks. She recently broke up with Red Sox co-owner/media mogul Tom Werner.
Couric first met Botti on the set of the "Today" show a few years ago when he showed up to play backup for an appearance by Sting. They were more properly introduced a few weeks ago at a party in New York and have been dating ever since, he says.
"It's been interesting going out in public with Katie, but this is all very new to me. I'm taking it one day at a time," he says.
Botti has been named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People," and has worked with Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant and other music stars. He joined Paul Simon's band in 1990 and worked with the singer for five years....

Quote of the day material.
It's common knowledge that us trumpet players are babe magnets not only for our looks and talent but also with our...um...well-developed embouchures.
What's the bet???
I met Botti this spring, he's not gay and his music is fantastic.
What I don't understand is why Couric left her married boyfriend. She was with him for about 5 years and he finally got his divorce. Could it be that now he is free that she doesn't want him anymore?
What a tease.
How is his colon?
How is his colon?
I know!!! What's that about. I just read like last week his divorce just became final. Maybe he gave her the boot. You know sometimes men need that in between person to get them out of situations. Who knows. Frankly, who cares.
How is his colon?
Apparently large enough for an echo...
I'll bet you a dollar the decor in his house is impeccably stylish and he has his nails done professionally.
Its known as a Colonecho

No doubt. But so what? You can say the same thing about Donald Trump and have you seen his girlfriend?
