Parents need to know that this live daytime talk/performance show -- billed by MTV as a successor to TRL -- prominently features online social platforms like Twitter and Facebook and online video platforms like YouTube. Its focus on popular celebs, music, movies, and fashion will probably appeal to older tweens, but there's a bit of salty language, and some of the discussion topics and featured clips can get racy, with strong sexual innuendo and references to issues from fake lesbianism to posing nude for Playboy. Some of the guests also make mild references to drinking, smoking, and other adult behavior.
