Is there anyone more adorably relevant than Gideon

Yago? The MTV News correspondent has been responsible for delivering hard

news in the hippest way possible, which is not an easy task when your audience

has turned in to watch shows like My Super Sweet 16 and The Real

World 17: Take It Off, Bitch!. Now, the ambitious (and again-- really,

really cute) Yago has sold a script for a movie called Underdog, inspired

in large part by his experiences talking to young soldiers in Iraq. Picked up

by Focus Features, the film centers on best friends who return home—one

as a hero, the other in disgrace—and the mother of another soldier who

died in the conflict.
