Last night's TRL finale wasn't quite the circus it proved to be back in its heyday, mainly because the show has been trying way too hard since before Britney Spears took her tumble. Regardless, some of the show's most successful graduates showed up to pay tribute to arguably the best thing MTV ever produced. Tons of photos after the jump.

And she didn't even need the cover of People to do it.

Having never (so?) publicly discussed her sexual orientation — but having made light of it on stage and on The New Adventures of Old Christine, where her character remains married to Julia Louis-Dreyfus — comedian Wanda Sykes surprised Las Vegas Prop 8 protesters by announcing she is gay and married her wife on Oct. 25.

Why speak up now? Because of Prop 8's passage. "I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked. … Now, I gotta get in their face. … I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay."

GOOD NEWS FOR FIVE OF YOU • "Despite reports, Brooke Shields says her NBC drama Lipstick Jungle hasn't been scrapped. … 'Our bosses are saying, "You're not canceled, don't worry. We're just trying to figure out how to make this make sense."'"

Now that there's no more election (or Tina Fey or Amy Poehler), Saturday Night Live got back to the basics this weekend: Surprise celebrity guest stars and men in women's clothing. For this episode (featuring adorable host Paul Rudd), Justin Timberlake showed up to seem likable for five minutes during a skit involving a Beyonce music video shoot. The former boy bander has become quite the tool as of late, but he always manages to be fairly awesome when he's on this show, so we approve.

Good news, everyone! The Hills is coming back for a fifth season! Audrina Patridge confirmed the information to People, and if you're not sold on even more episodes of the "reality" show, just listen to her riveting argument:

At one point, all of us were like, 'No, we don't want to do another season.' I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she's doing her own spin-off. … We have fun with each other and we've stuck it out this long. We might as well do another one.

Look, nobody loves The Hills more than I do, but even I can admit that it's time to throw in the towel. Nobody cares anymore and the girls are clearly starting to hate each other. This is only going to end badly.

Today marks the end of an ear-piercing, tween-infused era, thanks to the final episode of TRL airing tonight — and it's live, which is more than we can say about it over the past couple of years. Has-been Carson Daly will host the finale, which is fitting because the years he ran the show were the Glory Days for not only Carson but TRL itself. After many years of pimping out boy bands and Britneys, the show took a turn for the worst, no longer filming live, losing host after host, offering a haven for sad tweens who eat their hair — and making life miserable for Mollygood editors who braved the masses for their favorite singers.

After the jump, a look at our favorite moments from the show's 10-year run.

Jennifer Aniston took some time out from calling Angelina Jolie "uncool" to guest star on 30 Rock. Get this: She played a deranged stalker who is in love with a man who's no longer interested in her. Crazy, right?

Anyway, she did a decent job because there's a select few characters at which Aniston excels — and this is one of them. It still feels like she's playing Rachel at all times, but it worked in this scenario. Unfortunately for the show, her appearance failed to boost ratings in the wake of Oprah's legendary guest appearance from last week. Cue the Brangaloonies and Perez Hilton, who will surely say this is all Jen's fault and she can't do anything right.

How much do you love Anderson Cooper? He's a great news anchor, making a valiant attempt to stay neutral and simply report the news instead of bullying his guests into submission (ahem, Bill O'Reilly), and he manages to take time in his day to enjoy what really matters: reality TV.

Coop stopped by to visit with Jay Leno last night about all things Obama-related, but the main highlight (around 3:10) occurred when he brought up his love affair with The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe. If anyone can get the Silver Fox to do some reality television commentary for Mollygood, let us know.

Which TV drama series is going to go off the air without wrapping storylines or telling the viewers? The network is pretending that everything is fine. The stars continue to smile, and the network continues to promote the show. However, the schedule has been shuffled and show’s writers have been told to clear out their offices.

Update: Gawker thinks it's Pushing Daisies, which is a good Ween song, but a drab television show.

Because the shark has already been jumped in the case of How I Met Your Mother, the producers obviously decided to just throw in the towel and invite as many famewhore guest stars as possible to seal the deal. The latest loser to join the bunch? Kendra Wilkinson.

The former changer of Hugh Hefner's diapers will appear as a magazine cover-version of herself in the same ill-fated episode alongside Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian.

We're going to start up a collection for CBS — obviously the network is out of its mind and needs all the help it can get, monetary or otherwise.

It's hard watching Anderson Cooper anchor a segment about gay rights — particularly, gay marriage — when he can't even acknowledge where he stands on the issue.

Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.

Barbara Walters released the names of some of her Most Fascinating People for 2008. Among the lucky losers are Will Smith (uh, why?), Tom Cruise (again, why?), Miley Cyrus, Tina Fey, Frank Langella, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Phelps. We agree with a few, but overall it looks to be another snoozefest.

After the jump: Mollygood's Most Fascinating People for 2008. Feel free to add to the list.

• Lipstick Jungle, the sad attempt at recreating Sex and the City, has been canceled. [ICYDK]

• Matthew McConaughey's son doesn't look as drugged-out as we imagined. [PS]

• Tara Reid debuts her new swimsuit line. You know it's classy and high-end, just like the designer. [HT]

• Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All-Time — and no, Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta didn't make the cut with her "tyrone between me and you" masterpiece. Life isn't fair. [DListed]

• Everything you didn't want to know about last night's Country Music Awards. [Yeeeah]

• Hugh Jackman admits to peeing his pants on stage. Is it strange that we still find him attractive? [INO]

Meet Michaela Watkins, newest member of the SNL troupe, doing her Arianna impression. And ha! It's pretty good. Especially how she incorporated her dorm room or whatever into her audition tape.

But if Lorne Michaels was going the political route for the rest of the season and trying to keep cashing in on the post-election viewership, why not hire a guy who looks reasonably like Obama? Not that there is anything wrong with Fred Armisen, but he just plays it so straight, and it brings up that issue of how do you make fun of a guy who represents real change and hope for our country? Blah bah. You guys know what I'm talking about.

But hey, at least Michaela will make a good Michelle Obama? And her Arianna is still way better than Tracy Ullman's.

Scar Tissue, the upcoming HBO show about Anthony Kiedis' early years in LA, will reportedly not delve into all the intercourse with very young girls the Red Hot Chili Peppers front man wrote about in his 2004 autobiography, also called Scar Tissue. According to the New York Post, in his book, Kiedis shares sexual escapades that include bedding both a 15-year-old Ione Skye (he was 23) and a 14-year-old who liked to dress up as Marilyn Monroe, possibly while on heroin. Yahoo!

Says an HBO exec:

We did not buy the rights to his book, and we are not dramatizing the book. This project is focused on Anthony's life as an adolescent. The title, now tentatively called 'Scar Tissue,' does not refer to the book, but to the song.

See, they're not referring to the book at all, they're just referring to the song from which the book took its name and dramatizing a few stories out of the book. Way different, YOU HATERS!

Current Jennifer Aniston love interest John Mayer has been snatched up by CBS to host a variety show in 2009. According to insiders, the weekly extravaganza will be a "music, variety and sketch show in the '60s mold."

Because if Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey taught us anything, it's that prime time variety shows are insanely successful.
