Putting aside the lovely images of MTV host Vanessa Minnillo nude, let’s focus on her professional plans for a moment:

The girlfriend of Nick Lachey is leaving Total Request Live. It’s just time to graduate, Vanessa told People magazine.

“I had my four years there like high school or college,” Minnillo said Tuesday at a benefit for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “I’m ready for the next chapter — what it is, I have no idea. [But] I don’t want to be 48 saying, ‘Hey kids, now it’s Sean Preston Spears’s video.’ “

For the record, Vanessa, it’s Sean Preston Federline. Come on now.

The veejay, who recently moved in Nick Lachey, said there are some things she’ll miss about her job, such as “that daily live factor of anything can happen.” But maybe she’ll move on to a somewhat successful talk show, like her predecessor Carson Daly.

Minnillo’s first non-MTV gig will be unveiling her limited-edition makeup line for Flirt! Cosmetics, available in August. “We have two looks going on,” she said. “You can have that fun rock-and-roll look or an everyday look.”

She also has a cameo alongside Jessica Alba in the movie Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, in theaters this summer.
