Kim Kardashian is now an expert on teen pregnancy, having briefly paid attention to something other than women’s foundation color and which toilet she’s supposed to attend the opening of this week. Kim posted a preachy missive on her blog about the case of 90 teen pregnancies in a high school in Memphis, Tennessee, which she claims to have learned about from a segment of The Today Show that aired on the same day she appeared on the show with her sister.

Kim blamed MTV’s Teen Mom for the spate of pregnancies in Memphis, which is strange considering that the teen pregnancy rate has been on the decline since Teen Mom started airing. If Kim had paid attention to the Today Show segment, she may have realized that all the pregnant teens at that one high school may have more to do with the fact that at least 3 dozen of them transfered to the school to get special services they offered to pregnant students. Today also mentioned in that segment that the birthrate for US teens is down 6% this year. There are still too many pregnant teens of course, and Kim blames MTV for it.

In response, Teen Mom’s notorious baby-daddy basher, Amber Portwood, pointed out that the teen pregnancy rate has declined. She also mentioned that Kim got famous for a sex tape and isn’t one to talk. I can’t stand Amber but she gets props for this:

After seeing a “sad and disturbing” report on Today about a high school in Memphis, Tenn., that counted 90 students who were pregnant or had given birth in the past year, the E! star took to her blog and Twitter Wednesday to tell her fans that getting pregnant at a young age is not something to aspire to.

“It seems that shows like Teen Mom are all of a sudden making teen pregnancy seem cool in the eyes of young girls,” she wrote on Celebuzz. “The kids from these shows are all over the news, even on the covers of magazines, and have been become almost like celebrities, but girls, these are not people you should idolize!”

So, what do Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood and Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans have to say about that?

“There’s actually a study that shows since the original 16 and Pregnant aired, the number of teen pregnancies have gone down,” Portwood exclusively tells E! News.

“Last time I checked, Kim Kardashian had a sex tape floating around on the internet and I’m pretty sure she made a lot of money off of it,” says the mother of 2-year-old Leah. “She made a sex tape when she was younger and she wants to bash the girls on Teen Mom? If you read the articles about the show, they do nothing but talk about how the show reveals how hard it is for all of us. It doesn’t glamorize anything! It shows the heartache we’ve all gone through.

“We may be ‘celebrities’ because our face is out there, but it’s only because we’ve done some bad things. That’s not glamorous.”

Well, the paycheck is a little glamorous…

“When I think back to when I was 16, there is no way I would even have considered having a baby,” Kim continued in her blog. “That thought wouldn’t even have entered my head. Having a baby is one one of the biggest, and most life-changing decisions a person can make and while I’m not saying that no teen is in the position to raise a child, having a baby so young shouldn’t be seen as the trendy thing to do.”

[From E! News]

E! also asked the new bad mom on the block Janelle about this controversy, and she said simply “sh*t happens.”

See, Kim was once a teenager and she didn’t get pregnant so she should serve as a role model, not these Teen Moms who are stealing her reality show thunder. They don’t rate magazine covers, she does!

I agree with Amber that Teen Mom doesn’t glamorize what these girls go through. The money and tabloid covers they get glamorize it, though. It’s not that I agree with Kim Kardashian at all. She’s such a dimwit she missed the whole part of the story where they said that the teen pregnancy rate was down across the US. It’s just that these anecdotal stories arouse Kim’s feelings of frozen-faced superiority, and that’s so much more compelling than statistics or facts.
