Jessica Booth — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:30:45 +0000

The girls of Teen Mom 2, aka our new BFFs

Teen Mom 2
Just like any other girl (admit it!), reality TV is our guilty pleasure. And we have a serious soft spot for the girls in MTV’s hit series, Teen Mom. So we were really excited when we found out that we were going to interview the girls of Teen Mom 2, and we were even more excited when we realized how awesome they are in real life. Seriously – you might not like the choices they’ve made, but we think they’re handling themselves pretty well.

Chelsea, Jenelle, Leah and Kailyn all chatted with us about their celebrity crushes (spoiler alert: Ryan Gosling is included), what they would change in their life if they could, the best advice they’ve ever heard, and more. We can’t wait for the rest of the season of Teen Mom 2. Watch the video to hear it all:

Teen Mom Star Jenelle Evans Was Arrested Again. Do You Feel Sorry For Her?

Jessica Booth — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:47:15 +0000

Jenelle's mug shot.

It looks like Jenelle Evans just can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble. The reality star from MTV’s show Teen Mom was arrested, yet again, for violating her probation by allegedly using drugs, according to Radar Online.

Jenelle was taken into custody Monday night, Aug. 8, in Brunswick County, North Carolina to the Brunswick County Detention Center. She was later released on a $10,000 bond. Jenelle’s lawyer confirmed that she was tested positive for marijuana and opiates, and she’ll be going to court on Aug. 24.

Jenelle was first arrested after being charged with assault in March. We wish we could say she’s been behaving since then, but this is actually the second time Jenelle has violated her probation because of drug charges.

We definitely feel sorry for Jenelle — the gURL obviously has a drug problem, and we wish she would get the help she needs. But she also has a son to look out for, and she needs to be a good role model for him no matter what.

WDYT, gURLs? Is Jenelle acting like a really bad mother, or are you willing to cut her some slack? Do you feel sorry for her or do you think she’s entirely to blame? Do you think being a reality star is what caused her to act like this? Discuss below!

Maci From 16 and Pregnant Interview

Gurl — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 11:45:12 +0000

This gURLs Life: Maci

Maci from 16 and Pregnant has a lot to deal with. She's juggling her baby son Bentley, her fiancé Ryan, school, work and friends. It's not always easy, but that hasn't stopped her!

gURL had a chat with the teen mom about being pregnant in high school, her plans for the future and advice for other girls. Check it out!

Maci

gURL: What was your first reaction when you found out you were pregnant?

Maci: I was shocked. I didn't cry and I wasn't very like sad or upset. I was just shocked and I was just like, "I can't believe this is happening to me. The first person I told was my fiancé Ryan and then after that I told my big brother. And then a couple weeks later after I'd gone to the doctor and gotten the "100 percent you're pregnant." I told my parents.

Maci

gURL: How did Ryan react when you told him you were pregnant?

Maci: The same as me. We were both just shocked and we were just like, "Well here we go, let's raise a child together." Ryan definitely had trouble adjusting to everything, especially when Bentley was first born. But he got used to it and now he's doing great. And he's just had to get a little bit more time getting used to it, because he didn't have the whole nine month pregnancy with him that I did.

gURL: How are things with you and Ryan now?

Maci: They're great, actually. We're doing a lot better and we're still together and we've actually set a wedding date and we're making plans.

Maci

gURL: How did you cope with high school when you were pregnant?

Maci: After I found out that I was pregnant I decided to just do whatever I could to graduate and if possible to graduate early, which I did. I graduated a semester early. And I just did what I needed to do to get out as soon as possible so that I could move on. It was hard, but I just did what I needed to do.

gURL: How did the other students react?

Maci: I didn't tell anyone until I finished my junior year. So I wasn't really in school, it was during the summer when everybody realized that I was pregnant. But people were really supportive, actually. Everyone's always asking me how I was doing and when I was due and ever since Bentley's been born all my friends from high school (I'm still in touch with them) all love Bentley.

Maci

gURL: How has your life changed since you had Bentley?

Maci: It's a completely different world. I don't know. It's like I have a family now and and I have my own place to live and I still have my friends and I still hang out, but now I just have like a new addition that I get to take with me everywhere.

gURL: What do you think is the hardest thing about being a mom?

Maci: You get so caught up in being with your family and making time for your friends and doing stuff around the house that you kind of forget to get your own time. So I guess that would be a hard part, because I find myself just being so overwhelmed that I'm never alone. But at the same time it's fun to have a family and be responsible for all of it.

Maci

gURL: What are you and Ryan up to right now?

Maci: I'm majoring in business and I'm minoring in journalism. Ryan works as a diesel mechanic and he works on like heavy machinery and stuff.

gURL: What are your plans for the future?

Maci: I'd like to write for a magazine actually. If not, I'd like to open up a restaurant.

Maci

gURL: Do you have any advice for girls who are in the same situation as you are?

Maci: Number one, if they aren't pregnant yet, I want them to watch my show and realize that it's very hard to be a teen mom and make everything happen. And so to protect themselves as much as they can. But if they're already pregnant and they're in my situation, I just want them to know that it's possible for them to do whatever they wanna do. Anything is possible. They're just gonna have to take a different road and it's gonna be a lot harder. But if they set their mind to it they can do it.

Amber Portwood Is Headed To Rehab

Gurl — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 22:00:24 +0000

Amber's gonna be okay!

After her attempted suicide, we can’t say we’re very surprised to hear that Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is going to rehab. But we are really relieved to hear that the reality star is getting herself help and not ignoring her problems.

|Going through something tough also? Let it out on the Shout Out Boards.|

Teen.com reports that Amber has commented on the situation saying, “I am going to rehab for anger control issues and depression. I’m on medication at the moment and to just help me relax. I’m in a vulnerable state right now and I know people want a lot of answers.”

Amber appeared to attempt suicide a few weeks ago when two cops found her unconscious in her house with a rope loosely tied around her neck. She’s been in a stable condition since then, and hopefully rehab will be the best thing for her. We hope she gets better and comes out stronger (a la Demi Lovato), for herself and baby Leah.

Discuss: Bristol Palin Was Drunk When She Lost Her Virginity

Gurl — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:11:20 +0000

Before they split.

At this point, the whole world is aware that Bristol Palin lost her virginity to Levi Johnston. What we didn’t know: She lost it while she was drunk.

|Talk all about teen pregnancy on the Shout Out Boards.|

In her new autobiography, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, Bristol shares that after a night of drinking wine coolers on a camping trip with Levi and some friends, she woke up unable to even remember what had happened. According to Us Weekly, she and Levi decided they wouldn’t have sex again until they were married. But they broke their own rule, and a few months (and eight home-pregnancy tests) later, the gURL found out she was pregnant.

Her baby daddy’s reaction? Only that it ”better be a f***ing boy.” On top of that drama, Bristol also found out that Levi was cheating on her and that he got another gURL pregnant, too.

Breaking News: Amber Portwood Hospitalized for Attempted Suicide

Gurl — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:32:52 +0000

We <3 you, Amber!

Our hearts go out to Teen Mom star Amber Portwood, who was rushed to the hospital a few hours ago after police found her unconscious in her home.

|Going through some rough stuff? Get love and support in the Shout Out Boards.|

Teen.com reports that Amber may have been trying to commit suicide. Says a source: “Two policemen arrived, found her face-up on the couch and immediately called for an ambulance. When two EMT workers arrived, they removed the rope that Amber had loosely knotted around her neck. They tried speaking with her, but she was in and out of consciousness and couldn’t respond; she was just moaning. They gave her an oxygen mask, put her on a gurney, and rushed her to the hospital.”

Amber is still currently in the hospital, but conscious and in stable condition.

teen mom news: amber loses custody and jenelle goes to rehab.

Gurl — Thu, 12 May 2011 15:13:53 +0000

Yeah, it’s been a crappy week for the stars of Teen Mom, to say the least.

|Are you a teen mom? Get love, support, advice and more on the Shout Out Boards!|

Teen.com reports that Amber Portwood has lost custody of little Leah. Apparently, right now Gary is the “more suitable” parent because Amber’s house and car were recently vandalized and it’s not safe for a baby. On the bright side, Amber could still get full custody back soon.

As for Jenelle Evans, the MTV star got shipped off to rehab to “cope with her ‘issues’.” Good news: she’s been clean for several weeks.
