The law, passed last month, goes into effect in July and will apply to drivers such as Whiteker, who plans to get his license in February. But the Carmel High School freshman said that unless he sees it enforced vigorously, the new law doesn't provide much incentive to hang up while he drives.
For the first time in my life, I am inclined to write a blog, based on the outpouring of articles, debates and strong responses on the Huffington Post and other news organizations regarding The Candie's Foundation, myself, Bristol Palin and the reaction to the town hall meeting we hosted last week.
I founded The Candie's Foundation in 2001 as an organization to raise awareness about teen pregnancy prevention during a time in which one million girls were getting pregnant each year. Over the past eight years the Foundation has created series of television, print and online public service announcements featuring celebrities whom teens admire and respect to educate teens about the issue. I am proud of the work the Foundation has completed and am proud of the town hall meeting and the results it has produced.
Last Wednesday, May 6th (the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy) was an amazing day for The Candie's Foundation where America was bombarded by a media initiative on teen pregnancy that made over 100 million impressions.....
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Hollywood lifestyles of rich and famous kids are at the center of a new series to air on teen-centric channel The N.
The N, which will be renamed TeenNick in the fall, has ordered 13 episodes of the half-hour comedy-drama "Gigantic."
The show takes a skewering look at the glitzy, chaotic and oftentimes hilarious life of Hollywood "It" kids whose parents are A-list celebrities. It is described as a coming-of-age story set in the world of the showbiz elite, packed with parties and privilege.
The project also will feature testimonials by real-life Hollywood teens as well as celebrity cameos.

Good news for parents. Your teenagers like you!
Or, they do if you live in Canada.
The latest chapter in a decades-long study of Canadian children finds that today’s teens have stronger ties to their parents, “than any teen cohort in the past 30 years.”
Detective Nathan Root said the teen admitted drinking beer, but passed a field sobriety test.
Root says another Amish man in the buggy, a 22-year-old, was charged with providing the beer. Both are scheduled to be arraigned June 22.
Patrols were stepped up after an Amish elder's property was vandalized when he confronted youths about their drinking and listening to radios.

“If you take a shower before you have sex, are you less likely to get pregnant?” asks one.
Another: “Does a normal penis have wrinkles?”
A young girl types: “If my BF doesn’t like me to be loud during sex but I can’t help it, what am I supposed to do?”
Within 24 hours, each will receive a cautious, nonjudgmental reply, texted directly to their cellphones, from a nameless, faceless adult at the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina, based in Durham.
There goes the phone again.

LOS ANGELES — Kelly Peña, or “the kid whisperer,” as some Hollywood producers call her, was digging through a 12-year-old boy’s dresser drawer here on a recent afternoon. Her undercover mission: to unearth what makes him tick and use the findings to help the Walt Disney Company reassert itself as a cultural force among boys.
Ms. Peña, a Disney researcher with a background in the casino industry, zeroed in on a ratty rock ’n’ roll T-shirt. Black Sabbath?
“Wearing it makes me feel like I’m going to an R-rated movie,” said Dean, a shy redhead whose parents asked that he be identified only by first name.
