Apparently it was only a magical coincidence that Jamie Kelly and Katie Couric were "photographed" together recently at a Broadway outing to see “The Year of Magical Thinking.”

Hat tip: “Couric New Boyfriend 17 Years Her Junior”

When the buzz surfaced that Katie Couric had a new hunky love interest in her life, many in Carroll County were curious if it was our own Jamie Kelly of the Carroll County Times.

And my goodness, heaven only knows that Ms. Couric needs something positive in her life these days…

As you are aware rumors were flying last January that linked Jamie Kelly with Megyn Kelly of Fox News.

If there was anything to that rumor – it was never proven. As it has also been recently revealed that Mr. Kelly is NOT the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s child…

Nevertheless, phone calls to Jamie Kelly and his publicist requesting a comment on suggestions in the community that link him with Katie Couric - were not returned.

Now comes the New York Post with another theory as to the boy-toy in Katie, the cougar’s life in an article by Mark Bulliet and Jennifer Fermino on April 12^th, 2007, “Katie Cougar: New Love Is 17 Yrs. Her Junior.”

Who cares about ratings when you've got your very own hunky triathlete on the mark and ready to go?

Katie Couric's dishy new boy toy is a good-looking, physically fit, almost 33-year-old from Manhattan's East Side with a posh pedigree.

Brooks Perlin — son of financier Sanford Perlin of Darien, Conn. — has been running around with the perky anchorwoman-turned-cougar for several months, according to a source.

"These are two private people and I respect that," said Sanford Perlin Wednesday when reached at his office at Kleos Capital Management.

His mother, Anne Perlin, 68, didn't want to comment on her son's new 50-year-old girlfriend.

"I don't believe in any meddling in people's personal lives," she said.

When pressed, she added, "It's a lovely story and I hope we don't ruin it."

Last July, Perlin competed in the Greenwich Cup triathlon - where he swam, ran, and cycled - and finished in an impressive one hour, 19 minutes and 16 seconds.

I just hope this doesn’t give my wife any ideas about trading me in for a couple of twenty-five year olds…
