Farrah Abraham: From 16 and Pregnant to Live Stream Cam Girl!

How bizarre is it that Farrah Abraham has been in the public eye for over eight whole years now?! When we first got a glimpse of her in her episode of 16 and Pregnant, she was just a small town high school cheerleader, dealing with the death of her boyfriend and a bad home life. And now … well, you know what she's like now. So what happened? Let's take a look at her career history and try to solve this mystery together! 1. Way Back When … This is Farrah in high school … it’s so weird to see her like this, right? And by “like this,” we mean with her natural face. Around this time, she was working part-time jobs in grocery stores and restaurants. 2. Her First Passion With her grocery store jobs and gigs at local pizza places, Panera Bread, Applebee’s, and Buffalo Wild Wings, it was obvious that Farrah’s passion was food. It also helped that throughout the early seasons of Teen Mom, she made it clear that her dream was to one day own her own restaurant. 3. Higher Education Despite being a single teen mother, Farrah graduated high school and even went on to continue her education — she worked towards an associate’s degree in culinary arts and management at her local community college. 4. Florida Bound! In 2011, Farrah moved to Florida to attend the Art Institute of Fort Lauterdale. She was looking to get her bachelor’s degree in culinary management, and she left Sophia behind in Iowa for a while so she could work towards this goal. 5. Mom and Me Foods After moving to Florida, Farrah took a little over a year off from working regular jobs to focus on her schooling (and presumably her blossoming reality TV career), but in 2012 she launched Mom and Me Foods, a company that sells gourmet foods and fine wines, inspired by her Italian ancestors. So that’s something! 6. My Teenage Dream Ended Also in 2012, Farrah released her first book, a little memoir she charmingly titled My Teenage Dream Ended. The book was largely about her troubled relationship with the late Derek Underwood, her high school boyfriend and Sophia’s father. View Slideshow

Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide!

The girls from Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2 became famous because of their babies, welcomed into the world at a very young age. You could say they were 16 and Pregnant. All of them. For better or worse, they persevered and went on and (in many cases) had additional ones! At parenting, some have fared well. Others, fared … not quite as overwhelmingly well. Perhaps it's fitting that Jenelle Evans welcomed her third child one day before Chelsea Houska had her second , as these girls run the gamut! We're not here to be critical (that's what Instagram is for). We're just here to break down the eight stars and their unconventional families. Unconventional, but beautiful and loving.

Natalie Portman: Nude For Dior!

The organization uses leadership training to empower and inspire the world’s youth. You, subsequently, can feel good about admiring the image below: “I chose the color Gr

Taylor Swift Accompanies Conor Kennedy to Grave of Mother

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy took a big, sad step in their relationship on Sunday. The singer accompanied her 18-year old boyfriend and various family members to the Cape Cod cemetery where Mary Richardson Kennedy is buried. She tragically committed suicide in May . Conor’s mother had been separated from his father at the time of her death and was reportedly suffering from substance abuse problems. According to Entertainment Tonight , Swift and Kennedy – who have been dating for two months – attended church and then spent close to a half hour at Mary’s grave, which is located in Hynannis near the Kennedy compound. Taylor has actually purchased a home directly across the street from Ethel Kennedy, Conor’s grandmother and a woman who has said the famous family would only be too lucky if Swift ever joined them in an official capacity. It’s very early, but it certainly appears is if things could be heading in that direction.

Farrah Abraham on Serious Relationships: Maybe Someday …

It’s already been quite a long time since Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham has been ready for romance. And it may be a long time still to come. After ex-boyfriend Derek Underwood died in December 2008, the teen put dating on hold so she could focus on raising their daughter Sophia. According to the reality star, now 20, that will change. Just not yet. “I’m pretty positive you might see me on a date again,” the single mom says ahead of this evening’s Teen Mom season premiere. “The fun thing is I get to go on dates and meet random guys and not be so serious.” “I get emails and letters at home like, ‘Find me on Facebook,’ but how many of those guys are really sincere?” muses the mother of Sophia, now 2. There are plenty of obstacles in her way, it’s true. In addition to the commitment of raising a child, Farrah Abraham finds it difficult to meet Mr. Right now that she’s on the MTV show (she, Maci Bookout , Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood all return for season three). “I feel like I have my independence right now, so I might as well take full advantage and work harder. When the right person comes, then I’ll accept him into our lives, but right now I’m not trying to have a relationship,” she adds. “Dating is more fun than a relationship right now for me.” When she’s ready, we don’t imagine she’ll lack for suitors.
