Parents need to know that this tabloid-like newsmagazine series covers the latest headline-grabbing exploits of popular celebrities, homing in on their outrageous, self-destructive, and/or illegal behavior. Coverage can (and often does) include everything from nude photos and sex tape to alleged alcohol and drug addiction. Most of the show's iffy content is of the caught-on-tape variety, but the fact that the show thrives on the kind of behavior that no parent would want their kids emulating is disturbing enough.
Positive messages:The series focuses on documenting reckless, self-destructive, and/or illegal celebrity behavior -- and relishes presenting these stories to viewers. While the show will cover any celebrity making headlines, female celebrities appear to be featured more predominantly.
Sex:Includes discussion of celebrity romances; some hugging and kissing visible. Stories have also covered nude pictures (and the scandals they cause) and sex tapes made by various celebrities.
Language:Words like "hell" are audible in taped footage; stronger fare, like "f--k," is bleeped out.
Consumerism:Features popular celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Owen Wilson. Hollywood venues, hotels, and nightclubs are sometimes visible.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Alcohol and cigarettes visible in some segments. Alcohol and drug addiction is discussed, as are DUIs and drug possession.
