On Saturday, August 1, 2009, MTV will celebrate its 28th birthday with three all-new tribute shows about pop superstar Michael Jackson. Viewers will see a mix of interviews, music videos and more about the artist throughout the day.
The event kicks off at noon ET/PT with the world premiere of "Michael Jackson's Human Nature."

At 2PM, MTV will present the world premiere of "Michael Jackson's Influence on Music," an hour-long special featuring a collection of the top videos from the many artists who have been influenced by the King of Pop.

The series follows the lives of teenage girls for 5-7 months as they navigate the unfamiliar territory of being pregnant. MTV captured every moment and reaction in real time, including several of the births and how the young mothers and fathers dealt with new parenthood. The series tackles a variety of issues including marriage, adoption, attending school and dealing with gossip. Cameras continued to follow the teens for a significant amount of time after they gave birth to document how they coped with taking care of their infants in addition to balancing adult responsibilities with teenage life.
The "16 and Pregnant: Life After Labor" finale special, hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky, will be an issue-driven forum on teen pregnancy. All six of the teen mothers profiled on season one of the series will participate. Dr. Drew will discuss each girl's episode, specific issues and challenges and update us on what's going on in their lives now. This open discussion will provide a platform to address the controversial topics that were shown in season one: birth control, adoption, abortion, marriage, religion, gossip, finances, high school graduation and employment.
