During the 2001-02 season, Maria Menounos became a correspondent for ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT , reporting on film, television, music and fashion for the #1 syndicated entertainment newsmagazine in the world. She is also host of ET on MTV and ET on VH1, one of the highest rated shows on the respective cable networks.
In addition to being named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful" for 2004, Menounos has guest starred in a number of high-profile television shows including "Without A Trace" (CBS), "One on One" (UPN) and in an eight-episode story arc on "One Tree Hill" (WB), which aired throughout 2004-2005. Her feature film work includes a starring role in the upcoming 20th Century Fox sci/fi action film 'Fantastic Four,' slated for Summer 2005 release.
As a filmmaker, Menounos serves as both executive producer and producer of the film, 'In the Land of Merry Misfits,' a 35mm feature length movie soon to be released as an independent film.
Prior to joining ET, Menounos was an international correspondent for Channel One News, the #1 source of news for America's teen students. As a journalist for their 10-minute weekday broadcasts, she reported on a variety of timely and topical issues for more than eight million students. During her tenure, she interviewed President George W. Bush, numerous celebrities, and traveled the world to cover such tragedies as the 2001 earthquake in El Salvador and the AIDS epidemic in South Africa.
Menounos began her career with Channel One during her senior year at Emerson College in Boston. During this time she also wrote, produced and broadcast news segments for WERS-FM, one of the largest college radio stations in the country. In addition, she co-hosted and produced a weekly Greek American radio talk show on Boston's WNRB-AM.
Her experiences as a journalist have compelled Menounos to spend time off-camera on philanthropic and social issues close to her heart. After witnessing the devastating effects of AIDS in South Africa as a Channel One reporter, she formed Take Action Hollywood! (TAH!), a charity whose mission is to utilize the power of the entertainment industry and the production medium to educate, empower and raise social awareness. Menounos and TAH! are currently working with Miramax Films on a joint venture to promote 'Paper Clips,' a holocaust documentary. She and her organization have also produced a television commercial on AIDS awareness and are at work on a quirky commercial campaign to curb pet overpopulation.
