You once watched them on MTV, now you watch them on YouTube at work. Which music video had you dancing at your desk?

Talk shows may come and go, but Oprah's farewell was truly the end of an era.
Meredith Vieira on 'Today'
She was one of the realest women on daytime. We just hope she's not gone for good.

The "to be continued" ending made this long-running soap's cancellation even more painful. At least Susan Lucci got her Emmy before it was over!

Only a true diva expects fans to know her flower preferences!

He put WHAT in her drink? Even for the Atlanta Housewives, well-endowed (ahem) male stripper Redickulous was over-the-top.
The 'Beverly Hills' game-night fight
Dana thought it would be "a great way to get to know everybody better." Brandi, Kim and Kyle's epic battle wasn't exactly what she had in mind.
