Dear Momlette Reader,

As if you don’t have enough on your plate, how are you and your family dealing with your reality and "Reality TV?"  Is it a topic of discussion in the family? It needs to be; for the family, with the family!

  Has anyone in the family come down with “Celebrititis”, the condition of celebrity mania? If so, 
how are you dealing with it? What are the symtoms?

 

• According to the Urban Dictionary, "Celebrititis is an overwhelming obsession with celebrities, typified by talking to them as if they were your good friends, claiming life changing epiphanies on their behalf and /or raising them to god-status and, there are more than 12  off-shoots from the word celebrity into the language vernacular"; not the least of which is "celebritize", the act of making the average guy or gal into a celebrity."

• The question you might ask is, “Why do I need to “deal with Celebrititis; for that matter, what is it?
  You might think that celebrity news/gossip is harmless and innocent.

 

If you think celebrity news/gossip is harmless and innocent activity for your “Tween” here’s some information that you’ll need for your self as a concern parent. Then add it to the list of topics for family communication time.
