OMG!!! I've been waiting for Nancy's big announcement. This is fabulous!!! Pairing Nancy and Oprah is awesome!!!! Yay!!!!!
Great news! Nancy O'Dell is great. Glad to see she's got a new show...and a great one! Good choice Oprah!
So glad Oprah picked Nancy. She's beautiful and polished...such a pro. Can't wait to see the new show!
I love Nancy O'Dell!!!! Have missed her so much on Access Hollywood but, working with Oprah, how much better does that get?!? Nancy, you go girl...I'll be watching for sure!
I've always thought Nancy was HOT!!!! Oprah finally going "HOT". SWEET! Not really that interested in this topic, but will watch Nancy...
Nancy's so pretty and classy great move on Oprah's part hiring her for this gig.
Was it just me, or did Nancy have toom uch botox and fillers in her face when she was on Oprah? She looked more wrinkly/natural when they showed some old footage of her from decades ago.
Saw Nancy O'Dell on Oprah and she's definitely has had a botox overdose. She's looks ridiculous!
um, ya I was thinking the same thing about her face. She looks pretty but very odd at the same time. Weird. It looks like her face is really puffy and kind of like a cabbage patch doll when she talks. Watch her lips when she tries to smile. I think they stuck way too much filler in her face - - probably under her eyes, def in her cheeks and her laugh lines. I can't tell if she's had a mini lift near her eyes. They look kind of pulled, but she looks like she's practiced moving her face in a way that it's not as noticeable.
Nancy O'dell looks absolutely ridiculous. Can she and her stylists really think she looks good? She must see the same Dr. as Marie Osmond!Nancy, please go back to normal= or at least almost normal.
