What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this Web site from media giant Alloy mainly focuses on entertainment and fashion/beauty. There's not much here that's "deep" or educational, and the site is pretty commercial -- there are lots of ads and links to Alloy's store and other media properties. However, the videos are age-appropriate, and there's no registration or social networking features.

Educational value: Teens can get creative with the Craft Club.
Positive messages: Celebrity coverage keeps the focus on entertainment, not personal drama.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: "Hell" appears once (as in "a hell of a year"), but otherwise, the language is very mild.
Consumerism: Lots of ads, prominent link to Alloy store.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about how the media covers entertainment news. What's the difference between Teen.com TV and sites like TMZ or PerezHilton? Why do you think so many people like to read negative gossip about celebrities? What kind of information about stars' private lives should be off-limits?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Though ad-heavy, Teen.com TV is a fun, safe spot for tweens and teens to get entertainment news and behind-the-scenes access to their favorite celebs. Some of its stars may not be the best role models (Spencer Pratt, anyone?), but the site steers clear of the drama and scandal that make many gossip sites off-limits for younger fans. A clean, user-friendly design adds to its straightforward appeal.
