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
