Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant

25/2/19: Updated with more social media links. :)

Earlier this month I did a post on the new series of Teen Mom UK. At the end of of the post I mentioned that a new show had started in America called Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant. It's now due to start in the UK next week, so here's more about the programme. :)

Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant is the latest in the Teen Mom franchise which started with the 2009 series 16 and Pregnant. It follows 5 girls- Ashely, Brianna, Kayla, Lexi and Jade. Their ages vary from 17 to 21.


Lexi Tatman

The clip of Lexi was the first one I saw. She's 17 and  a cheerleader from Colorado. Her baby son's father is Kyler Lopez and she split-up with him before finding out she was pregnant. When you see Lexi cheerleading while pregnant it reminds me of Farrah Abraham (from Teen Mom OG) in her 16 and Pregnant episode!

Here are Lexi's social media links:

Brianna Jaramillo

Brianna is 18 and  lives in Wisconsin. Her 6 month old son is named Braeson and during filming she was in a relationship Danae who is a transgender man. Braeson's dad is an old friend who Brianna hooked up with during a break from Danae, but Danae  wants to raise him as his own. (She has since started dating a new man). Braeson was born without a left forearm and hand.

Here's Brianna's FB profile (you can follow her): https://www.facebook.com/brianna.jaramillo2


Ashley Jones

20 year old Ashley is originally from Las Vegas but moved to Vallejo in California when she found out she was pregnant. Daughter Holly, whose dad is Ashley's fiance Bariki Smith (nicknamed Bar), was born in September.

I had trouble finding social media profiles for Ashley but in the Starcasm article (see below) they linked to her Twitter: https://twitter.com/_mermaidbarbie

Jade Cline

Jade is  21 and from Indiana and has daughter Kloie who was also born in September. Her dad is Sean Austin. Jade's mum has issues with substance abuse.

I wanted to post the trailer on here but can't actually find it on YouTube, so here's a sneak peek of Lexi's story instead:



I'm interested to see what these girls are like and hear their stories. I'm not sure if it will be as good as the original Teen Mom but we'll have to see.  :) Last year I watched a TLC show called Unexpected about pregnant teen girls. I liked it but I think it's only had one series/season so far. You can watch a clip from the show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-20QvMQRX1Q

Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant starts on Monday 3rd April on MTV UK at 8pm. 


In more Teen Mom news, Mackenzie McKee who starred in the short lived Teen Mom 3, is said to be replacing Farrah Abraham in Teen Mom OG. Farrah has long had difficulties with the rest of the Teen Mom cast and crew, and they let her go recently. Farrah accused the production company Viacom of "sex shaming" her because of her career in the adult film industry and sued them, but they have reached a settlement.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
