Vanessa Minnillo has made it official. After four years of pop stars and crazed fans, she’s leaving her gig as VJ on Total Request Live. “I chose not to re-sign,” Minnillo broke the news to TV Guide at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s annual gala at the Waldorf-Astoria Tuesday night. “I don’t want to be 48 going, ‘Hey kids, now it’s Sean Preston Spears’ video!’”

Minnillo’s got a lot going on right now. She has a cameo in the upcoming Fantastic Four flick (she plays one of the Human Torch’s love interests), and she just moved into boyfriend Nick Lachey's Manhattan digs. But according to Minnillo, life post-TRL is wide open. “I have had my run, and I’m ready for the next chapter. What it is I have no idea,” she says. “I don’t know if it’s going to be with a television show, with movies, with hosting, or maybe just even a family.” —Reporting by Rebecca Paley

Does anyone care? Does anyone even watch this show? Seriously, she's more famous for who she dates than what she does.

MTV should've kicked her to the curb when they found out she was first getting involved with jessica simpson's ex (lachey) maybe MTV should've banned both former "newlyweds" from appearing in future TRL episodes, as well as their videos.(bad move MTV) oh well good riddance vanessa! you knew TRL didn't want you back!

Personally, I think they just need to get rid of the show all together. MTV hardly airs videos anymore, so what is the point of having TRL on there if MTV is mostly reality shows now? That is nice that she is leaving, but to be honest, It is nothing to cry about. Just take the show off the air altogether, and we will all be happy
