Smells like Teen Pregnancy

Combine the hormonal instability of Stifler's mom with the doe-eyed complacency of a pre-2006 Olsen twin, and what do you get? The latest trend in inappropriate lust objects: The TMILF. Yes, TMILF. A nymphet in the family way. Jail-bait having jail-bait. Irresistible teenage mothers we'd like to ... discuss prenatal care with.

With everyone holding fast to their unborn—and cougars so last season—how long before we see Maxim turn a leering eye on our country's real-life Junos?

The TMILF of the moment is, of course, Jamie Lynn Spears. Her face says "Disney sweetheart," but her burgeoning belly screams "earth mother." And judging by the surge in ratings for Zoey 101 following the announcement, America—in the words of the indefatigable Tracy Morgan—loves that show so much they too want to take it behind the elementary school and get it pregnant.

The whole movement's prompted a perhaps misguided social outcry. Need we recall that in many cultures, teen pregnancy is desired, nay, demanded for the good of the clan? Since time immemorial, fecund young lasses who choose to make the switch from the pediatrician to the obstetrician have been celebrated for their fertility. With that in mind, Radar salutes some of our culture's most prominent TMILFs, young women who had the courage to say, "Forget about Algebra 1, I'm gonna go poop out a little tyke so I can get my figure back by prom!"

Whale Rider Chick
In October 2006, Keisha Castle-Hughes, otherwise known as "that girl from the Whale Rider movies, announced that she was with child. Some said, Where were the parents? We said, Where were we? And baby, where are you now?

Solange Knowles
In 2004, Beyoncé's 17-year-old little sister—whose illustrious career includes roles in Bring It On: All or Nothing and Li'l Bow Wow's "Puppy Love" video—stepped out of big sis's shadow and became, undeniably, totally pregcellent. Actually, she did deny it, even after her marriage to high-school sweetheart Daniel Smith. But gestation periods don't lie, and counting back from the Oct 2004 birth of little Daniel Julez (Word!), all signs point to Solange being up the stick and hardly legal.

Kathy Hilton
Okay, she wasn't a TMILF in the trust sense. But close. (And, like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, a TMILF one day becomes a MILF. God knows Kathy has) We knew we always liked something about the grandmommy-ILF of them all, Kathy Hilton. And now we're certain it's because she was knocked up at the young age of 21 with baby Paris and, if we do say so, looking like a cast member of Dynasty. (Based on the 1984 party photo above, which totally justifies this entry, can there be any doubt that the music of Rick James figured prominently into the conception of Paris two years earlier?
