When was 16 and pregnant created

Lil Kim's racy outfit at the VMAs grabbed the attention of many a red carpet photographer, but the rapper's one bare breast also captured the imagination of her co-presenter Diana Ross, who couldn't resist giving Kim's chest a gentle onstage tap. Upset about his band's loss to Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford bum rushed the VMAs stage in , attempting to bring the entire night to a literal crashing halt by scaling the background.

He failed and spent the night in jail. Former Disney star Britney Spears had no shortage of moments marking her new persona as an adult pop star, but none more iconic than her performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" with an albino burmese python named Banana wrapped around her shoulders.

In , Britney Spears presented Michael Jackson with a lifetime achievement trophy in honor of his birthday, but her use of the phrase "artist of the millennium" seemed to capture Jackson's imagination, leading him to deliver a speech accepting an award definitely does not exist. For decades Madonna stood as the biggest provocateur at the VMAs, and inviting Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera to join her on stage in a re-creation of her iconic "Like a Virgin" performance was meant to be something of a torch-passing.

What no one was expecting was for the three performers to up the ante by making out on stage. Britney Spears has had many ups and downs throughout her decades-long career, but her glassy-eyed performance of "Gimme More" at the VMAs stands as one of her most public fumbles, a warning sign of the rocky road ahead. With four now-legendary words -- "I'mma let you finish" -- Kanye West ensured that Taylor Swift's career would be inextricably tied to his own. Whether its a feud between stars, a troubled friendship or a media narrative from which one party would like to be excluded, the story of Kanye and Taylor has transcended debate about whether or not Beyonce made the best music video of all time.

We agree that Amber has been an interesting person to watch over the years, so we totally get that she was the first one who was cast. Although we have seen evidence that the show has helped decrease the amount of teenage girls giving birth to babies, some people say that the show glamorizes teen pregnancy. But the shows also have critics who say they glamorize teenage parenthood — especially since many of the mothers have become celebrities as a result of the show.

Anyone who has seen the show can most likely say that it doesn't look very fun to have a baby in high school since the show gets really real and honest about the struggles that the girls have experienced. Something else that fans should know about this reality show? The fact that teenage girls have said that they can talk about this subject thanks to the show and that it helps them think. This is really important and definitely seems to be what the producers were going for.

It's not the kind of reality show that you watch and think, "Wow, that was really something" and then move on with your day or evening. It's thought-provoking and brings up a lot of conversation topics. Moms could also watch this with their teenage daughters and have a conversation about it, and it might give them a reason to have this crucial talk since they could reference the girls on the show.

If you have seen Farrah Abraham's episode of 16 and Pregnant , then you know that she lost her boyfriend and the father of her daughter, Sophia, and that is something that she talks about to this day. His name was Derek Underwood.

According to People , Farrah and Derek weren't a couple anymore when he passed away when she was eight months along. This was something that was featured on the show, so it's true that the show got real, and the girls were allowed to show what was really going on in their lives. It was important to see this aspect of Farrah's experience. According to Wet Paint, Amber was struggling a lot while filmed for the show, and she got in trouble. Fans will probably remember seeing everything that Amber has gone through.

Her episode of 16 and Pregnant was a pretty sad one and every time that we watched her on Teen Mom , she was still going through a lot. This is why the show is so beloved, though: although it can be hard to watch someone struggle, it's a learning experience for the viewer, and so many girls have learned about the realities of teen pregnancy as a result of it.

It's easy to think that if someone stars on a reality television series especially one that is popular , they would be raking in a ton of cash. But that's not the case with the girls who were on the show.

How much did they make? Sure, to us that might seem like a good amount of money, but we can understand that some people might not see it that way, at least compared to what people make in Hollywood. Everything is relative, right? It can be hard to see if a TV show will be popular before it airs, and fans of 16 and Pregnant should know that one of the producers, Dia Sokol-S. That was my gut reaction. I knew there would be challenges as to how we would produce it, how you get people to be on a show called 16 and Pregnant.

Dia Sokol-S. That's really cool to hear. If we have kept up with the show and currently watch Teen Mom OG , then we're familiar with seeing the producers and the girls interacting on-camera. Weston Gosa. See more at IMDbPro. Episodes Browse episodes.
