Viewers of "Teen Mom" know Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell as four young women struggling to make ends meet and straighten out their personal relationships while taking on the huge responsibility of raising a child--yet since Season 2 premiered, the girls have unintentionally assumed another unexpected role: that of the celebrity.

An article in USA Today reports that Amber--whose love life and recent troubles with the law have been the cover subject of multiple tabloids--actually surpassed Angelina Jolie and Prince William in terms of media exposure during the month of October. Farrah had to fend off an upsetting rumor that she's pregnant again, while Maci keeps hearing about some nonexistent new reality show she's doing with Bristol Palin.

Fans of the show, as well as psychologists, have mixed opinions about the teen moms' fame. On one hand, they're showing a broad audience the many difficulties that come along with teen and unplanned pregnancy, but on the flip side, some people feel the attention is giving the audience the impression that having a baby at a young age can be glamorous. And then there's the matter of how the cast member's children are being affected by all this media chaos.

+ We want to hear what you have to say about the issue. Should the press stop scrutinizing Amber, Maci, Farrah and Catelynn, or do you think it's important that their lives be reported on outside of their MTV series? Sound off in the poll!

A few days after Paris Hilton "joked" about swapping boyfriend Benji Madden for royal hottie Prince William, rumors swirled that BFF star was snuggling up to her on-again, off-again beau Stavros Niarchos again. So we can't say we were TOTALLY shocked to learn that Paris and Benji officially called it quits on Wednesday. Slightly shocking, however, Paris' subsequent claim that the breakup was mutual (i.e. 100% not cheating-related) and that she and Benji are gonna be friendsies for life...and maybe more.

"[Benji] is an incredible person, and we will always be really close," Paris told Ryan Seacrest (as reported by E! Online). "We will see what happens in the future. I am still in love with him."

Paris Hilton is all about Benji Madden these days -- but that doesn't mean she only has eyes for him. Yep, turns out even girls in committed relationships have their secret (or not-so-secret) celeb crushes. And Paris recently admitted that, given the opportunity, she'd date Prince William in one hot minute. That is, assuming he was (finally) free from the clutches his long-term gf, Kate Middleton.

"I'd be more than happy to date William - so long as he ditches the mousy girlfriend," Paris recently told reporters. "I couldn't believe it when I met him. He was awesome and really hot."
