New Jersey State Senate To Vote On Gay Marriage
You know those screaming kids who stand outside of 1515 Broadway in Times Square when they should really be in school? They have signs declaring their love for someone we've never heard of and their high pitched shrills are often heard below 14th. They are there because of MTV's TRL (Total Request Live), today's version of what we used to call the Top 5 at 5 (when we actually had to call in to place our vote, because there was no texting or online voting yet).
Well, tomorrow the 4th Annual TRL Awards are taking place...and guess who got invited? We'll be the one's wearing earplugs and asking Stephen from Laguna Beach some hard hitting questions. Want to know who else will be there?: Mariah Carey, Ashlee Simpson, Chris Brown, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Ne Yo and Amanda Bynes.
So make a sign for one of them and bring your outdoor voices so you can scream for the red carpet arrivals at 1:30pm. Seriously, we'd like to see some people our own age out there. And by all means, let us know if you have any questions we should ask out on the red carpet...

WOOOOOO! Can you give a shout-out to my girl, Tania?
Call me an old geezer, but I thought the Music Television was supposed to play music videos. Last I checked, TRL only plays excerpts of videos, afterwhich there's only show after show of reality-tv programming. I long for the days of the music video shows with "veejays" (Top Ten Countdown, Yo MTV Raps!, Alternative Nation, 120 Minutes, Headbangers Ball, etc). Or what about Liquid Television and Beavis and Butt-Head?! Remote Control?!
Julie, no offense, but if I hear someone else mention that MTV doesn't play music videos, I'm going to ... yell, or something else really aggressive.
Also, try MTV2, Fuse channel, and I think VH1 also has a music video channel...not sure about that.
Gothamist, I'll be there in my Abercrombie Gear, screaming for Dave Matthews Band.
comeon suzie q....mtv has been playing music videos for almost 20 years straight, and then within just a couple of years they scrapped it all. of course some longtime viewers will feel alienated.
