So the MTV Newsroom blog took a totally scientific poll of 6,300 MTV fans who read the blog and decided to chime in on whose performance they thought was the best of the broadcast.

7 Simple Steps to a Long and Healthy Life
Happy Heart Month! What a blessing that just a few simple changes in your lifestyle can improve your chances of living a longer, healthier life. The beauty is, anyone can make these changes, the steps are not expensive and even modest improvements will make a big difference. The American Heart Association (AMA) calls them “The Simple 7″. Seven things you can do to reduce your chances of dying of heart disease, stroke, or other cardiac related incident. Take it slow – start with 1 or 2. Even small changes in lifestyle can make a big difference. 7 Steps to a Long and Healthy Life Get Active – The AMA suggests at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise – or a combination of both. When you break it down, that is only about 22 minutes per day of moderate exercise. The simplest solution is to start walking. Join AMA’s Start Walking Program to develop your walking plan. If you are mobility-challenged or just not the outdoorsy type, there are plenty of great ways to get your heart pumping at home. Browse Allegro’s Fitness category for hundreds of Exercise/Fitness Products to fit any level of fitness or ability. Sorted into helpful sub-categories. Get instruction from books, DVDs and videos to make your home workouts even more fun! Control Cholesterol – Cholesterol is in your bloodstream and your cells. It is soft and waxy. Too much of the ‘bad’ cholesterol, the LDL, is a bad thing. It clogs arteries and puts you at major risk for coronary disease. 75% of cholesterol is produced by the body and the rest comes from the foods you eat. Many people inherit the genes that make too much cholesterol so you might not be able to control it without medication. The AMA says “It’s important for all people to know their cholesterol level.” Cholesterol is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood. A cholesterol level of 200mg/dL or higher puts you in a high risk category and you need to take action. Monitor your cholesterol at home with the CholesTrak – FDA approved Total Cholesterol Device.

Free People Recycled Leather Satchel

The Sophisticated Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon
Unfortunately, a 37mm looks kind of silly on my 7.5″ wrist. Otherwise, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon like Rob’s ( friend of the show since 2004) would be a perfect timepiece for formal occasions. Although Jaeger-LeCoultre seems to have entered a different route to approach its clients since a while, with big bulky watches or with high-tech materials, this Master Moon with a diameter of 37mm and a height of just 10mm is a true classic that at least will look good on you in a few decades from now.
