Katie Couric: Single

Katie Couric is officially back on the market.

Page Six first reported on Couric’s relationship status and that the former CBS anchor split with boyfriend Brooks Perlin.

A source noted that they will remain friends, telling Page Six, “Brooks is a great person and a real gentleman,” but that after five years,”they have decided it was time to go their separate ways.”

A rep for Couric also confirmed the split to Us Weekly.

The journalist had been dating Perlin for five years. They met back in 2006, at a fundraiser for cancer research.

The reason for the split is currently unknown but one thing was sure, the relationship had its complications.

“I am really happy in my personal life. But it is complicated,” Couric once reportedly admitted of the relationship.

For one, the couple had been criticized for the large age gap. Couric is 54, while Perlin is 37. She once admitted the age difference had caused a lot of criticism, reportedly telling People Magazine she was ‘courgared’ and had ‘been called all kinds of things.”

Soon after news of the split broke, Perlin was said to have also moved out of the journalist’s Manhattan home.

Single and a new show, Couric has a lot to look forward to in the coming year.

Couric is set to host a daytime talk show that will debut in September 2012. The show will be called Katie and the first episode is set to debut September 6. At the same time, she will also reportedly contribute to ABC News programming.

Couric had previously been married. She married Jay Monaham in 1989, but lost her husband, to colon cancer in 1998. Couric has two daughters, Ellie, 20, and Carrie, 15.

'Crazy About Pippa'

 
William and Catherine got married, but Catherine's sister Pippa stole the show. More specifically, Pippa's a*s stole the show at the Royal Wedding and "singlehandedly crashed Twitter." In school she was called "perfect Pip" and "the life and soul of the party."
Apparently they knew as children that they'd be royalty someday, says Team Conjecture. During her college years, Pippa began hanging out with wealthy classmates at Hogwarts, otherwise known as Slytherin. When Kate and Wills started dating, Pippa was the only one who knew - and she kept it a secret. At least according to the bleach-blond Middleton cousin who is clearly all, "I blew Harry too and I never got my own bloomin' TLC show. Chips!"
We continue to establish that Pippa is pretty and fun, and defend her for "not having a proper job," to which one Professional Conjecture Assistant remands: "What is a proper job, really?" Touche, sir. I have no idea, but I think it has to do with misery.
"We don't really know what she sounds like, or what she says, [but we're obsessed with her anyway]," says another woman, and everyone realizes that Britain is just as silly and socialite-crazy as we are. Derrrp. And here's the wedding.
ASS. ASS. ASS. Or, as Ologist Benny Gammerman says, "ASHEHAZ."  We get about 17 slow-mo shots of the now-iconic dress and more reaction shots from across the world. After the wedding, Pippa was an insta-star, and one of her most infamous offers was from American porn entrepreneur Steven Hirsch​, with a trickledown offer to brother James. She has a Facebook group about her ass called "The Pippa Middleton Appreciation Society."
It's official: The remaining twenty minutes of this program is about Pippa Middleton's ass and how to get one. Why am I surprised? Every man wants her and every woman wants to be her, from her ass all the way to her ass. Then we talk about her hair. It's brown and straight. This is somewhat difficult to achieve unless your hair is brown and straight.
In the 9th hour, we get a middle-aged flaming Middleton cousin who spills that Pippa's been doing cross-training and weight work. It's still bizarre that nobody has clips of her speaking. That is some Harry Potter curse sh*t. Apparently she has been given a nickname, which is P. Biddy, but I've never heard that before. People speculate about Pippa and Harry, but there's no conclusive evidence. Bam.
