R.I.P. T.R.L.

MTV bid farewell to Total Request Live last night with a star-studded prime-time goodbye in and around its Times Square studios.

For almost three hours, music A-listers — from Beyonce to Taylor Swift, 50 Cent to Justin Timberlake (who drew rabid squeels when he stepped to the window) - stopped by to “pay their respects” at the wake for the weekday countdown show that helped launch their careers.

Once upon a time, TRL was the be all and end all when it came to what was cool in Teenland, USA. Fast forward to present day and MTV is forced to pull the plug on the show following years of declining ratings.

Highlights from the star-studded show included a phone chat between Eminem and former TRL host Carson Daly. Said the rapper: “I feel like they’re kinda tearin’ down my home.”

Other celeb attendees who turned out to say goodbye included Cassie, P.Diddy, Jonathan Davis, Esmee Denters, Hilary Duff, Kid Rock, Joel Madden, Fall Out Boy, Snoop Dogg and Teyana Taylor.

    MTV has sucked for many of years anyway.
    I remember when MTV was about VIDEOS….not the stupid shit that it does.
    I hope, MTV just fades away.
