It is hard to believe after two previous marriages and falling really hard for Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner is ready to take the plunge again.

I am almost embarrassed to admit this, especially since I'm not very good with kids, I totally love the TV show '16 and Pregnant'. This show has been on MTV for a couple of seasons and it follows teenage girls from pregnancy thru child birth and to how things change after becoming a mom. Every girl on the show has a different story with different upbringing but regardless it shows in a realistic way how difficult being a young mom can be. And the show may even be a positive influence, a government study has been following teen pregnancy rates in the US and it has shown that since the premier of that show, pregnancy rates have dropped.
