Katie Couric has a sense of humor about the photos that hit the Internet showing her dirty dancing at the after-party celebrating her debut as “CBS Evening News” anchor. “Actually, my assistant and I are now planning a pairs figure-skating dance routine based on them,” she joked to Page Six at the launch party for Dan Abrams‘ new site, Mediaite. “It wasn’t actually the image I was trying to project, but I’ll go with it,” Couric said. Abrams, who’s adding three sites to his stable, responded to questions about whether he was positioning himself as a competitor to the Gawker Media empire, saying: “I know [Gawker publisher] Nick Denton. I like Nick Denton. I’m no Nick Denton.” Also at the Plaza for the party were Ann Curry, Dan Rather, Cosmopolitan editor Kate White, Hearst’s Cathie Black, and Times business reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin.
