The MTV show which helped launch the careers of Britney Spears, *N Sync and Eminem is to end after ten years on air.

The music channel's popular Total Request Live (TRL) show has been axed, with the final show expected to be broadcast in November.

Launched in 1998, the show featured hot new music videos, and viewers were introduced to their favourite pop stars through exclusive interviews.

Former TRL host Carson Daly is expected to return for the two-hour special finale.

And stars who shot to fame on the show are sad to see it go - with rapper Eminem saying he'll miss causing trouble on the beloved series.

He says, "I'm going to miss TRL. Where else will I be able to start feuds, defend my honour vigorously and act like an angry teenager on national TV? Oh wait ... The VMAs!"
