It appears that actress, singer and all around super hip chick Zooey Deschanel came into her enchanting self-confidence and hipness early on as this letter to Vogue – written when Zooey was just a 17-year-old whippersnapper – would attest. In the letter Zooey chastises the magazine for their promotion of the notion of an “ideal” woman and how this transforms the notion of beauty for adolescent girls from “something that is celebrated and something that is enjoyable” to something they should “feel uncomfortable about.” Read the complete letter and see pictures of lil Zooey Steinem just a few years after it was written!

The Real Housewives of New York City‘s Ramona Singer has tons of fans and detractors alike, but few could argue that the Ramonacoaster ride we go on every season is anything but gloriously entertaining.

(Yes, even Jenelle!)
I wanted to take a moment on this Mother’s Day to recognize the four young ladies of MTV’s Teen Mom.

Ames Brown is without a doubt the most academically credentialed Bachelorette contestant ever! With three Ivy League degrees and a doctorate on the way from Harvard, Ames certainly has the brains to win over Ashley Hebert’s heart. Oh, and he’s also an ultramarathon runner (that’s 62 miles y’all!) so he also has the stamina to hang in there to the end. Could that be enough to take home the final rose?
First we had Nene Leakes, then we had Wiki-Leaks and now we have Lady Gaga leaks! Pretty much every major event surrounding her new album release Born This Way has been spoiled by leaks on the internet and her new music video for the single “Judas” is no exception.

This time it’s Kailyn Lowry and Jordan Wenner who are apparently having some serious difficulties.
Noooooooooooo!!!

Perhaps Jenelle Evans’ recent visit to a Buddhist monastery had an impact after all because the troubled Teen Mom 2 star has taken it upon herself to bring peace and harmony to the escalating feud between 16 and Pregnant‘s Jennifer Del Rio and Josh Smith!
