Miss USA wants to do TV news but disses Katie Couric

Monday, September 24th 2007, 4:00 AM

Miss USA Rachel Smith tells us she wants to get into journalism, but something tells me she won't be applying to the "CBS Evening News."

"I always wanted to be a reporter — maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news — but some modeling, too," she said at the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network event last week.

"I just don't want to end up like Katie Couric. I want people to take me seriously." Ouch! (Couric's rep later responded: "If she continues to offer such profound insight, she will not have to worry about anyone taking her seriously.")

Miss Smith, no doubt recalling the negative press received by her predecessor, Tara Conner, told our Ericka Goodman that she is not a party girl. But she admitted to a little boogieing in front of the mirror the night she won her title. "I was wearing, like, a hot pink Rocawear sweatsuit and paraded around my room at the Waldorf, just dancing with my crown!" she said.
