Switch your shit mtv

Personally I hate the whole mommy cult bullshit, Mtv was really cool back in my day and I miss the awesomeness of the music and cartoon culture😍 Mtv should go back to being Mtv! Why should anyone be subjected to being 16 and fucking pregnant and teen mom the shows are horrible and why does anyone fucking care about you and your broken life? Common MTV if your going to do reality shows why not find people planning good things like marriage and honeymoons and people building real lives! 16 and pregnant is responsible for the bastard culture.

What’s It About?

A new offering from Alloy -- the entertainment company behind teen-targeted hits like Gossip Girl and The Clique -- TEEN.COM TV serves up a slew of short videos about movies, TV shows, music, style, and more. In addition to interviews with celebs, the site has a DIY fashion feature called Craft Club, and several original Web series are in the works. Though most of the content caters to stereotypical tween and teen girl tastes, there's a skateboarding section that may reel in guys.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (2 ):

Though ad-heavy, Teen.com TV is a fun, safe spot for tweens and teens to get entertainment news and behind-the-scenes access to their favorite celebs. Some of its stars may not be the best role models (Spencer Pratt, anyone?), but the site steers clear of the drama and scandal that make many gossip sites off-limits for younger fans. A clean, user-friendly design adds to its straightforward appeal.

Why do you think so many people like to read negative gossip about celebrities? What kind of information about stars' private lives should be off-limits?
