"Katie Couric has signed to back a new documentary about obesity. The TV news anchor, who plans to leave CBS when her contract expires, could serve as a producer or narrator for the documentary, reports Deadline. Her specific role in the project has yet to be announced. &amp;quot;Katie is being supportive of the project because she cares about the issue [of obesity],&amp;quot; Couric&amp;#039;s representative said about her involvement in the project. Tapped directors Stephanie Soechtig and Jason Lindsey are helming the film. Couric interviewed the filmmaking pair last summer about the negative impact of bottled water on people&amp;#039;s health, which was the subject of Tapped. It was reported on Monday that Couric could return to The Today Show once her contract with CBS News expires later this year. The 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley is rumored be in line to replace Katie as the anchor of the CBS Evening News. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
