Those among you who tuned into MTV Goes Gold: New Year's Eve 2007 Sunday night were treated to VJ/Nick Lachey celebuwhore rebound girl Vanessa Minnillo, sauced and dressed like a foil-wrapped baked potato, accidentally letting an F-bomb fly--a gaffe she immediately catches by going deadly silent and turning helplessly to her co-host. Having opted out of the 7-second delay in order to give viewers at home the most accurate countdown possible was a programming decision that will ultimately come back to bite MTV corporate parent Viacom, when the FCC gods high on Mount Decency throw down multimillion dollar fines like thunderbolts, followed by a series of executive meetings over the financial feasibility of keeping on a foul-mouthed Minnillo, versus canning her for another disposable Jessica Alba-type talking head who can effectively drum up the requisite TRL excitement about Fall Out Boy's latest without relying on an arsenal of four-letter descriptors.
