Vanessa Minnillo
From Miss Teen USA in 1998 to host of 'TRL' to attacking Lindsay Lohan with knives, Vanessa Minnillo is what you call a triple threat (literally). Let's take a look back at when we used to respect her, shall we?

Totally Requested
Ah, 'TRL' ... a chance for a young host like Vanessa Minnillo to meet a lot of celebrities, chat with guests and play ten seconds of videos. No wonder she's famous.

The Career Ends
You can only handle an hour-long show that's live but actually pre-recorded a lot for so long ... that kind of stress can get to you. Look at Carson Daly. So Vanessa wisely left to ... well, she must be doing SOMETHING, right?

The Boyfriends
Being famous from MTV usually gets you nothing, but Vanessa Minnillo scored a relationship with Derek Jeter for three years ... oddly, there were no sex videos or knife photo shoots at that point.

Almost the Sexiest
In May 2006, Maxim Magazine named Vanessa their 15th sexiest woman. That means there are 14 women who Vanessa can still "cut" in front of.

Nicky-Poo
In June 2006, Vanessa Minnillo finally found the man she could make sex tapes with ... Nick Lachey. We're sorry, Nick, but you're not really dating up after Jessica ... it's really in question who the bigger trainwreck is here.

Ouch
And then there's this ... photos surfaced of Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa Minnillo fake threatening and cutting each other. There really are no words for this, other than "Yikes."

The Tapes
After vacationing in Mexico, it came out that some photographers had videotaped Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, um, "cuddling." We'd like to say more, but we're getting behind here.

What a Superstar
Oh, Vanessa Minnillo, we barely know you, and from what we've seen, that's too much. You and Nick Lachey seem to be perfect for each other, so we'll just say this: You creep the crap out of us. Now never speak to us again.
