CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric

A warrant has reportedly been issued for Katie Couric, the face of the CBS Evening News, over an unpaid tax bill in the state of New York.

According to the New York Daily News, the state Department of Taxation and Finance issued the warrant for the newswoman's failure to pay an outstanding bill of $210.41 from 2003.

Couric, who has suffered in the ratings basement since replacing Dan Rather as anchor at the Tiffany Network, is said to earn $15 million per year.

Her spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, told the paper the warrant and previous tax bills were apparently sent to an address where Couric doesn't live.

Couric is currently on vacation and is expected to settle the matter upon her return.

"I'm sure this will be handled promptly if it hasn't been already," Hiltzik said.

The issue has prompted some responses on the Daily News' messageboard, including:

• I would put out an APB before she leaves the country.

• She should settle this debt by bartering. Would the [tax officials] be satisfied if she gave them $210.41 worth of perkiness?

• How can anyone say bad things about Katie? She's like a little chipmunk, with the cheeks she's so cute [and] the way she gushes over her guests.
