Hips don't lie. Photos of Katie Couric shaking her money maker surfaced this week on Gawker. The pictures, taken at a private party in 2006 on the night she debuted as anchor of the CBS Evening News, reveal a playful side of Couric.

It was a very public performance for a woman who, at 17, once wrote: "Watching me dance is like watching an elephant, so no-one does!"
