‘Today’ Show Katie Couric Wedding Postponed; Duets with Idina Menzel; Matt Lauer Braces for Ann Curry Book Backlash

Former Today show host and soon to be Yahoo! Global News anchor Katie Couric is apparently just to busy getting ready for her new show, and performing with friends like Idina Menzel, to plan her wedding. America's early morning sweetheart has postponed her summer scheduled nuptials to John Molner, while she preps for her new gig. Her old friend and co-worker Matt Lauer is reportedly in a panic as he prepares for the eventual backlash from a book-turned-movie that chronicles his role in having Ann Curry fired from the program.

Katie Couric is reportedly completely overwhelmed trying to prepare for her new Yahoo! Global News gig as well as her wedding to 50-year-old John Molner.

A source close to Katie's stress told Star that the couple are moving the ceremony to September as Couric tries to wrap her head around the new position:

"Working for a website after years of TV has been a huge adjustment for Katie...She had to hire 20 extra people for her team."

That doesn't mean the Katie isn't making time for anything else though; Couric recently performed a duet with Broadway sensation Idina Menzel for the "Let It Go" singer's charity.

An eyewitness told Page Six that Menzel was keeping the whole thing light by making a few jokes at her own expense:

"Idina joked the event was put together by the team that planned her wedding to Taye Diggs - and they could plan her next wedding."

Katie's old anchoring comrade Matt Lauer is reportedly sweating bullets worrying about the new movie based on the bestselling book that seemingly paints Lauer as the real villain behind Ann Curry's dismissal from the program.

An insider told Star that Lauer was almost as sick over the new film as Ann was delighted:

"He's worried that his reputation will never recover. Matts been dodging bullets for a year and doesn't want to have to relive all the horrible accusation...Matt had a serious temper tantrum.

"But Ann is thrilled; she finally feels vindicated."

It will be a cold day in hell before Ann Curry allows anyone to escape the ice-cold grip of her revenge.
