'Access Hollywood' and Yahoo! team up

New York -- NBC's "Access Hollywood" announced that it will team with Yahoo.com for the new online celebrity gossip Web site at omg.yahoo.com.

"Access Hollywood" Executive Producer Rob Silverstein said in an release that the entertainment program will provide omg!, which opened Monday, with at least five original stories and videos a day.

"With the exponential growth of our Web site over the last year, we have been looking forward to this partnership with Yahoo!'s fresh new site to continue our efforts online," said Silverstein. "There is a particularly insatiable appetite for celebrity news online and we are looking forward to working together with omg! as they truly 'get it.'"

Yahoo! executives seemed as excited about the partnership as Goldstein.

omg! helps connect Yahoo! users with their passion for celebrity culture and news. And no one does a better job of covering the celebrity beat than 'Access Hollywood,'" said Karin Gilford, the General Manager of Yahoo! Entertainment. "Together, 'Access Hollywood' and omg! deliver the ultimate experience for every celebrity enthusiast."
