She began competing in beauty pageants in 1995, at a height of 172cm and a weight of 52kg. Maria’s television career began in 2000, when she joined Channel One News as a reporter and interviewer. Menounos worked for “Entertainment Tonight” from 2002 until 2005, where she reported on fashion, music, and film.
