This looks okay to me in principle, although I think the actual definition (the first paragraph) could use some polishing:

"Informed Real Life Fame is when the luster of a real-life "superstar" is oddly contained to the fictional universe of a particular TV program or movie despite repeated claims in the TV program or movie stating otherwise."

This seems to be worded unnecessarily complicated: If the fame of the (supposed) star is "contained to the fictional universe" of the show, it is not necessary for the show to "claim otherwise" (i.e. that the fame is not contained to the fictional universe of the show). In fact, I doubt that many shows will explicitly tell the watcher "These are actual stars, they are not only famous in our show!" When a real person is treated as a star in the show, that's kind of an implicit statement of "s/he's really famous". It would be a strange kind of humor to treat a real person as a star in the show, while at the same time signalling the viewer "just kidding, we know he's not really famous". I would just chop off the "despite repeated claims ..." part.

Also, I take it this AudienceReaction requires a (supposed) star appearing in the show AsHimself; the description should mention that.

Edit: I see the description has been changed. Looks okay to me.
