what a bunch of crap! everyone knows how frustrated christina was with mtv's f----- up structure. do you really need van, christina and brian all running mtv? no one knows what the other one is doing and they are constantly stepping on each other's toes. christina was a breath of fresh air and in my opinion its the other 2 that should be leaving. when will viacom brass wake up?

Maureen Dowd went up to her at the VH1 Save The Music benefit to tell her she loved her in Chicago.

I'm just thankful TheHonJudgeSmails went back to a traditional look.

She's like Prometheus, except replace fire with celebreality and chained to a rock while a vulture eats her regenerating liver every day with chained to a rock while a vulture eats our regenerating liver every day while we're forced to watch My Fair Brady.

Oh, yes--how the grim, lifeless old days of launching paradigm-shifting music genres and artists pale next to this glorious, incandescent era of "Date My Mom."

It's a miracle that Judy & Van have lasted this long though it's no surprise that Christina is "leaving" at this point.

Say what you will but she was always extremely open to new ideas and she was a HUGE supporter of her staff (for good or bad), to the point that she moved her former assistant up to a director position over the course of six or so years.

If I were still at MTV I'd be sad to see her go.

"Christina is leaving MTV in its strongest, healthiest, most diverse and vibrant incarnation." Come on, Van. You can't fool your own workers.

Is that a picture of Michelle Obama or Michelle Henery? I can never tell because they look so much alike.

Personally, I just don't think that MTV was ready for a black president.
