What Parents Need to Know
About PopStarOnline
Parents need to know that the unmonitored message boards are the biggest draw for this tween/teen celeb magazine site. They operate on a trust system -- users are asked not to post any vulgar, defamatory, hateful, or sexually oriented material, and a disclaimer warns that the site may remove messages although the messages and their content "are not responsibility of this forum." Members can email the site to report any offenses, and the site passively informs users that, due to COPPA regulations, users age 13 and under are not allowed to register -- but doesn't prevent them from doing so. The result: A cleaner board than you might expect, but invites to even more unregulated sites like MySpace are common. The rest of the lean site is innocuous.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the danger of providing personal information to people on message boards who may or may not be the age or gender they claim to be. What information is OK to share? Why is it important to never post a full name, address or phone number?

Annoying and Advertising
This is obviously Popstar!'s official site. On most of the blog postings, there is some kind of advertising for their magazine. I'm not sure if the rumors in the magazine are true or not, but I wouldn't trust them. I also am kind of turned off to the site with the mention of all the half-naked guys in and on the magazine. There were at least two shirtless posters in just one of the magazines I looked at, and the website definitely advertised that.
