Miss USA Rachel Smith, most famous for falling on her behind earlier this year, outlined her career goals but didn’t have much love for pioneer Katie Couric.
“I always wanted to be a reporter — maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news — but some modeling, too,” she said at the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network event last week.
“I just don’t want to end up like Katie Couric. I want people to take me seriously.”
Sure Couric was a damned fool for leaving the Today show but we all make mistakes right and she’s still a pioneer. This (C)Rocawear-donning scamp should just hang it up if her attitude sucks this bad. Oh and here’s what Couric had to say via rep:
“If she continues to offer such profound insight, she will not have to worry about anyone taking her seriously.”
