TRL Isn't Snuffed, but Vanessa Minnillo Is
Although MTV pink-slipped a bunch of TRL staffers Wednesday and ratings for the seizure-inducing countdown show are down (way down), it isn't being canceled, sources insist to Variety. But, according to the New York Post, it will soon have a new host: The paper says the network can't wait to dump Vanessa Minnillo when her contract expires in April; Susie Castillo is considered the frontrunner to replace the future Mrs. Nick Lachey. (Does the fact that I couldn't identify Susie Castillo if I saw her mean that I am officially a geezer? Or is it that I believe that ratings would improve if maybe MTV ran the occasional video without the banal e-mail shout-outs and constant corner-of-the-screen commentary?)

The name Susie Castillo is familiar. Was she a Miss Teen USA? I couldn't pick her out of a line-up either.

Is Vanessa even on TRL anymore? Everytime I watch, it's Damian and Susie.

Why would MTV want to get rid of Vanessa? I always thought she was a fan favorite.

I sure hope not, at least its not to the point that when mentioning dave holmes and co. makes me seem like I watched J.J. Jackson. (When I was your age Carson Daly was the host of TRL, and Pluto was a planet!) But after reading this story i feel that this sad day is impending.
