What Parents Need to Know
About Pop Fiction
Parents need to know that this prank show features celebrities playing jokes on tabloid journalists. They publicly do things -- like appearing to be pregnant or going into children's clothing boutiques -- that will encourage the media to create false rumors about them. While they're ostensibly making a point about the media, they also benefit from the resulting media frenzy. Celebrity-watching teens may find the show entertaining, but some of the scenarios the celebs create are a bit mature for viewers younger than that.

Families Can Talk About

What are the roles of Internet bloggers and the paparazzi in these kinds of shows? Families can also discuss what it's like to live in the media spotlight. What do you think it's like to have people always craving details about your personal life? Do celebrities purposely attract this kind of attention to help their careers?
