Love It or Hate It? Katie Couric's New Super Short Hairstyle
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kate Couric is apparently hoping a super short cut can boost her longevity in the anchor's chair.
The embattled "CBS Evening News" anchor unveiled a new, short 'do this week, both on the telecast, and on the CBS Evening News website, where her new, short-haired head already pops up here and there on promotions.
But FNCimag.com's beauty and style expert Noelle Watters, for one, isn't a huge fan of the perky newscaster's new look.

Was Couric just following the lead of fellow celebs who went from long to lopped-off?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"All of the girls who cut bobs a couple of years ago -- Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham, Kate Walsh -- grew them out slightly, and are wearing more curls than straight styles," said Watters. "This would have suited Katie Couric, softened her up a bit, and made her look younger."
Watters thinks that Couric, 52, may have accomplished what she set out to do with her short hairstyle, however,.
