    About our ratings

    (Flash is loading. If this text does not disappear you need to install the latest flash version)

    Not age appropriate for kids under 10, age appropriate for kids over 12; suggested age 12.
  • Is it any good?

    3.0
  • Common Sense says

    Hollywood gossip aimed at tweens is fairly tame but tacky.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    This site focuses solely on celebrities. While there is news about their talent, latest work projects, and awards, there's also a lot of emphasis on All Things Hollywood: Appearance, on-again off-again dating, bad behavior, and mega-consumerism.
  • Violence:

    Discussion about celebrities' run-ins with the law for things like assault.
  • Sex:

    General celeb relationship talk, but no suggestive photos. There are ads for products and television shows that deal with more blatant sexual content, like how to nab a guy and extramarital affairs.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The site's contest prizes often include expensive consumer items that famous starlets wear or use. It's ad supported, so there's lots of regular ads as well, for everything from Kaplan University to a newsletter called "Make Him Fall for You."
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    No overt references to drugs, alcohol or tobacco. But there's "news" and photos about young celebrities going out to party at clubs with "open bars."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About JustJaredJunior

Parents need to know that this celebrity news tabloid aims its coverage of Hollywood stars squarely at tweens and teens. A spinoff of JustJared.com -- a celebrity news site for adults -- this site keeps tabs on the goings on of a slightly younger set, for example the new shirt worn by High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens while shopping.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how it must feel to be an actor or singer and have the paparazzi follow your every move. Is it right to take photos of Ben Affleck and his daughter when he's picking her up from preschool? Does viewing this site promote a feeding frenzy on the famous that's already out of hand? What does your tween or teen think about the reports of stars getting in trouble with the law?
