odell08306Get ready, folks! The world of info-tainment is about to be rocked! Not since the glory days of Mary Hart and Leeza Gibbons have we seen so much alleged fur fly on the set of a flashy, vapid, and generally useless entertainment show. That’s right, incumbent Access Hollywood hostess Nancy O’Dell has seen a challenge to her toothy throne: the one and only Maria Menounos. According to the always reliable Star Magazine, the two women have commenced a feud of epic proportions, to the point where they can’t be in the same room together (kind of like “intellectualism” and Billy Bush). The brouhaha started when Nancy “Dude, You’re Getting” O’Dell complained to producers that Maria isn’t interested in being a journalist. She just wants to be a star! And let’s face it, only the most accomplished Pulitzer winners belong on Access Hollywood.

According to the magazine, Nancy also alleged that Maria’s been given special treatment to receive greater airtime and more days off to work on movies — you know, like her seminal role as “Sexy Nurse” in The Fantastic Four. Of course, Maria “I look Latina but I’m really Greek” Menounos has countered all these claims, saying Nancy’s just jealous because Maria’s “younger and prettier.” She then added, “I’d also like to mention that I’m rubber, and she’s glue. Whatever she says bounces of me and sticks to you. Well, her really. It doesn’t work in the third person. I apologize.”

We’ll keep an eye on this story as it unfolds. With any luck, some Pat O’Brien voicemails will enter into the mix. For more, check out the article here. Thanks to TVgasm reader Nekeisha for sending us the link.

    Maria Menounos sucks almost as much as that jackass that’s dating Nick Lachey and that jackass, Tanika Ray. They all are HORRIBLE. They are like when Star Search had the “spokesmodel” catagory and you wanted to stab the contestants in they eye when they spoke or at the very least stab yourself in the eardrums. No charisma, personality or natural speaking ability at all. I’d take Nancy O’Dell any day over those other whores.

    I am making a shirt right now, that says “Team O’Dell”

    Well of course Nancy’s jealous, Menounos is cute as a greek little button! And she doesn’t have that scary man-voice. I’m on her team.

    I heard on TMZ its “Paris Hilton Day” in Las Vegas. This world is so screwed up.

    Give me a break! Nancy vs. Maria??? Nancy has been a class act for years (not to mention the best interviewer on TV). Looks, talent, personality, voice (yes, that is ONE sexy voice) and consistency…Nancy takes them all. I’m on “Team O’Dell” for the simple reason that is by far the better of the two in every category (except age, but even with 10 years over Maria she looks better…how scary will Maria look in 10 years???). I am sad to see Nancy dragged into this at all, she is so above this. BUT, if you consider that everywhere Maria has gone this ‘catfight’ has mysteriously popped up…I say “Team Mennounnouns” has a great publicist at least!

    You go Nancy…just do your thing (trust me that’s WAY good enough)…

    I think Nancy is just upset she can’t be in the same room or camera shot as Maria (have you seen the size of Maria’s rump???). Nancy is my ‘dream date’ if she’s ever in NY and available…

    Where do I buy a “Team O’Dell” t-shirt?????
