DURING the impatient weeks between episodes of MTV’s “Teen Mom” franchise, fans (nearly three million on Facebook alone) can still stay current with the girls’ dramas.

They can linger over photographs from the wedding of Leah, 18, and Corey, 20, twins in tow (Us Weekly, April 4). They can follow the exploits of Jenelle, 19, whose mother has custody of her toddler, and who was videotaped beating up a girl (TMZ.com, March 25).

And they may be mighty curious about some of the girls’ seemingly enhanced looks. A headline in the April 11 In Touch Weekly, quoting unidentified pals, warns: “Teen Moms Addicted to Surgery.” It said the girls are “falling victim to the pressures of fame.”

Certainly MTV’s so-called “sister shows” — “16 and Pregnant,” as well as “Teen Mom” and “Teen Mom 2,” which follow some of the girls through early motherhood — have received swipes for glamorizing teenage pregnancy, and conferring girls-gone-wild celebrity on their stars.
