This week, the first episode of MTV's show Skins garnered plenty of attention and internet searches for its racy sex scenes and images of drug use among high schoolers. The network aired the show at the 10 p.m. time slot, and many parents seem to feel that teenagers are still likely to be awake and tuning in at that time.

"It's a show about teenagers and it's created for teenagers and I think it goes pretty far," family therapist Terry Real said on Good Morning America.

He added, "I think that it is terribly important that we let our kids know that this is in fact not the norm."

In other celebrity news, Jesse James and Kat Von D generated plenty of searches when they announced that they are engaged. The pair began dating last year, shortly after the cheating scandal that effectually ended James' marriage to his ex-wife Sandra Bullock.

If celebrity gossip blogs are correct, the tattooed pair plan to marry sooner rather than later.
