Billy Bush somewhere last year. Who cares.
New rule for celebrities: If I have to Google you to see who you are, you're not allowed to be a dickhead. From the New York Daily News:
Nancy O'Dell will miss a lot of things about "Access Hollywood," but her co-host Billy Bush certainly isn't one of them. A source insists that O'Dell's premature departure from the show, which she appeared on since 1996 (and with Bush since 2004), is because Billy isn't exactly an ideal co-worker.If Billy's career aspirations are to be "the next Ryan Seacrest," he doesn't need to host his own Hollywood-themed show . . . he needs to spend more money on product and mesh shirts. Besides, Nancy O'Dell didn't leave Access Hollywood because of Billy's diva behavior -- she left because she committed the one sin that no woman in Hollywood can be forgiven for: she turned 40.
"The atmosphere at ‘Access Hollywood' is like walking on a landmine because of Billy," the insider dishes. "He throws tantrums and tirades and oftentimes for no apparent reason. It was one of several things that had Nancy at her wit's end after 13 years."
And she didn't go without a fight, either - our source insists she complained numerous times to executive producer Rob Silverstein about Bush's behavior, but to no avail.
"Nancy was still subjected to Billy's outbursts and blow-ups on set, just like everyone else was," the snitch says, adding that Bush's diva-esque behavior is because he "really wants to be the next Ryan Seacrest."
"Billy would go so far as to curse out producers for not writing the copy in a way he liked it, and would really go off if they assigned him to read a story that he felt was beneath him."
