Trump Tried to Dump Because of Baby Bump

Posted Feb 22nd 2007 3:29PM by TMZ Staff

Donald Trump, Nancy O'Dell NBC announced today that "Access Hollywood's" Nancy O'Dell will host next month's Miss USA Pageant, but if it had gone Donald Trump's way, that wouldn't be the case.

A source tells TMZ that the enigmatic real estate mogul wanted to drop O'Dell as host because he doesn't like the way pregnant women look. But it's not The Donald's call: O'Dell is under contract with NBC and is the host of the "Access Hollywood" (which is syndicated on many NBC stations), and she will also be fronting the network's Oscar coverage this weekend. The lesson here: Don't pick on the Peacock's golden girl, Donald!

What was particularly troubling to O'Dell, our source says, is that the Miss USA Pageant is supposed to embody more than just how a woman looks in a bikini. It's safe to say that O'Dell, who will be six-months pregnant when the pageant airs, won't be sporting a two-piece.

Trump's camp had no comment.

76. I love Donald Trump. I love pregnant women. Don't care for O'Dell at all, and didn't the last few times she co-hosted.

It's a beauty pageant, not a pregnant womens' pageant. It's for unmarried girls to compete for the crown. Beautiful, young, unmarried women!

If Nancy O' had any class, she'd withdraw. But she doesn't, and won't.

77. The Miss USA pageant will hit high ratings because the humanoids love to see women in bikinis. I don't care what Jill Dobson says I am not watching that trashy pageant. Have fun Donald picking on women who don't kiss your ring. Ring get it? Wrestlemania?

78. Chong and Nico are both idiots...Pregnant is very different than "fat".
Pregnant women are beautiful...a new life is being created. Could it be that you goobers are jealous because you cannot do that?...and no, donating sperm isn't the same as giving birth.
Dickhead Donald ought to be sleeping on the couch after that stupid comment....he acts as if Nancy would be in a bikini, competing for the crown!!
She's the host, you stupid pricks!
Get him, Rosie!!!!

83. # 2- AMEN !
This guy is such a throwback- he's running amuck lately . I don't care how much $ he claims to have; he has horrendous taste . How do his wives stand him as long as they do? Even Anna Nicole would run from this mega-jerk!

85. What the hell is wrong with Trump? Isn't he the father of 5 kids? Does it mean that he did not like to see his 3 wives when they were pregnant? It it was not for his mother being pregnant he would not have been here. He needs to take some of his money and buy a clue.

86. Donald Trump is the biggest Jerk! Just because he has money he thinks he can say anything he wants!! Well I'm NOT rich and I can say what I want too! So here goes......He is the ugliest, most arrogant, pompous,dickless, spineless, conceided person I have ever seen or heard in my life!! And get a new hairdresser you moron! ( I'd give you my card but I couldn't stand listening to you talk for the 2 minutes it would take me to give you the "Britney Special" !!) Yup, I'd shave that stupid, ridiculous looking combover right off!!

Also, Maria Menounos is a lousy interviewer....and rude!

You Go Nancy!! Show the world that beautiful bump of yours!! Pregnancy is a beautiful thing!

88. To be so wealthy and successful, Donald Trump can sometimes be so ignorant.

89. another example of why I can't stand this egomaniac @sshole !

He is soooo critical of how women look.....look in a mirror Trump, you look like a fat PIG with a cat on your head !

90. Just shows money cannot buy you class or manners. I guess Trump forgot it's illegal to fire a woman for being pregnant. Besides, she's not competing! He claims to be a believer in 2nd chances, but wouldn't give Miss Nevada one for stuff that happened before she got into the pageants. And the under-age drunken slut who is supposed to represent a positive role model for young women gets one?! And then he's in talks with Playboy for one of his "winners" to pose nude? Oh, yeah, but it will be "tasteful"?! Now THAT'S hypocritical! This guy should NEVER have been allowed to procreate!
