Bad News at MTV

It's a rough day in Santa Monica, as MTV Networks this morning announced a round of layoffs which will eliminate around 250 staff positions. Names will be announced throughout the week, with some folks in very senior positions rumored to be on the chopping block. The cuts will impact all networks, including MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Spike and Comedy Central.

Tragically, there are no plans yet to fire Brody Jenner from ever being on television or near Lauren Conrad again.
