Damien Fahey -- with her latest singles "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." She also indulged the audience with a throwback performance of her 2003 hit "Crazy in Love."
Another highlight:
Travis Barker, who appeared via satellite from Los Angeles in his first televised interview since surviving his Sept. 19 crash.
"Every day gets better. I feel better every day," he told fans. "I'm already playing my drums again and am back in the studio. I'm thankful to be able to play."
It wasn't hard for stars to remember their favorite TRL moments.
Check out TRL's most unforgettable moments."I literally grew up watching
TRL. The first episode came on when I was 8, so it has been a huge fixture in my life,"
Taylor Swift told Usmagazine.com. "When I was 14, I was actually on a trip to New York City with my friends. We snuck in to
TRL ... and watched
Hilary Duff!"
Benji Madden's highlight?
"We got to meet
Will Ferrell! He was on the same day we were!" he told Us. "That was fun."
For NSYNC alum
JC Chasez, "Some of the most surreal moments are obviously the crowds outside. It seemed like the more we were on TRL, the more people showed up outside."
Longtime host
Vanessa Minnillo said she couldn't pick just one moment.
"I do know one thing that sticks out is when I was hosting and
Mark Wahlberg was my guest," she told Us. "A crazed fan came and attacked him, so being the damsel in distress that I was, I threw my guest in front of me to defend myself, of course! That clip has now played over and over and over, and it's a running joke here."
See Vanessa Minnillo's most romantic moments with Nick Lachey.Daly told Us, "Nothing really stood out. I guess traveling, like
TRL at the Super Bowl was incredible. I lived in The Bahamas one summer, which was nuts. We did
TRL there. It was more like those bigger chunks that were cool. It was crazy."
