Television

Instant makeover

TVNewswer caught CBS giving Katie Couric a little help to look thinner. Compare her first official network photo at this year's TV upfronts from May (left) and the slimmer version in the CBS owned Watch magazine — identical except for some narrowing of the torso, sleeves, neck and skirt and better coloring. It's subtle but unmistakable — check the gaps between her arms and body. Maybe it's just me, but she looks more credible already.

Couric to NYDN: "I liked the first picture better because there's more of me to love."
