HONEY BOO BOO AND THE CURSE OF CARRY-OUT

Wouldn’t you think that Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson might be influenced by the fact that her mother Mama June lost 300 pounds over the last few years? Granted, June had gastric bypass surgery, but she DID have to stick to a reasonable diet. Child beauty pageant contestant Honey Boo Boo was a hit on TV with her own series in 2012 when she was 6. But she’s 12 now and destined to be bigger than her mother if she doesn’t lay off the burgers. June and Alana are in New York promoting June’s series “From Not to Hot.”

MAMA JUNE SUFFERED FOR HER NEW “FROM NOT TO HOT” SERIES

Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June had the biggest neck we’ve EVER seen on a woman when their reality series started. It seemed highly improbable that this 460 pound woman could ever look like a normal person. But gastric bypass surgery made it impossible for her to overeat and she lost an incredible 300 pounds in a relatively short time. Halfway through the process, June had excess skin removed from her neck, with still more to go. Losing the weight was tough, but having all that skin removed- 12 to 13 pounds of it –was the PAINFUL part – but absolutely necessary. Just about all of her 5’6” body needs hanging skin removed and the scars are big. June says the surgery cost her $75,000 but was worth it. She still faces further skin removal. Hopefully, her chubby daughters will learn from all this.(Above, Mama June and Honey Boo Boo are promoting June’s new series “From Not to Hot.”

Omigosh! Honey Boo Boo is growing up FAST – with the help of Hollywood beauty experts. She and Mama June and Sugar Bear walked the red carpet at the premier of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars. June and Sugar Bear participated on the show with their problematic relationship. Boo Boo is 10 now and she’s already wearing fake eyelashes, make up, and high heels. And her hair was professionally blown out for this event. Mama June still swears that the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo show Will RETURN on another network, but we’ll see it to believe it.

MAMA JUNE: ANOTHER BOYFRIEND ARRESTED ON “TO CATCH A PREDATOR”

AG022847_03junecut

The Honey Boo BooMama June scandal just got sleazier. June did a multi-part interview with ET in which she continued to deny that she is dating child molester Mark McDaniel, despite photos to the contrary. It gets worse. June says that her daughter Pumpkin was raised believing that McDaniel was her biological father because he was the only man around until she was six. June admitted that Pumpkin’s biological father is actually the SAME man who fathered her older daughter Jessica. And get this – he TOO is a convicted sex offender! He was caught during a televised sting on To Catch a Predator in 2005!

IS HONEY BOO BOO LOSING HER LOOKS?

The TV cameras have been removed, but life seems to go on at Honey Boo Boo’s family home in Georgia. Alana seems happy enough, but the rest of the family has turned on Mama June because the TLC gravy train has crashed. Family members had grown accustomed to getting those big checks for appearing on the show and it’s June’s fault that it’s OVER. The future is suddenly NOT so bright. Honey Boo Boo tried to liven things up by dying her hair red for Halloween, but nobody’s laughing.

HONEY BOO BOO : WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

It appears that Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June is NOT the person many people thought she was. When Honey Boo Boo’s reality show first came on the air, many viewers were horrified at the family’s lack of education and unsophisticated country lifestyle. Others were VERY supportive, insisting that June was a loving mother and her family was really happy. Funny how June turned out to be the villain here – she’s spending a lot of money on her jailbird boyfriend who molested her own daughter ten years ago. Of course her other daughters are now exposed to this predator on a daily basis. Cheers to TLC for canceling the show.

HONEY BOO BOO IS BOO HOOING

Poor Honey Boo Boo. She’s uncharacteristically downcast on the set of her reality show – perhaps because her parents are separated. Mama June forced Sugar Bear to move out when she caught him trolling dating sites online. That’s how THEY met! She’s only 9, but it appears Boo Boo’s beauty contest days are over, so she’s lucky to have that TV show. Since she’s not genetically gifted, hopefully she’ll use the money to go to college…

THE HONEY BOO BOO WEDDING WILL BE A RATINGS GOLD MINE

How did the producers of “Honey Boo Boo” talk Mama June into MARRYING the father of their child, Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, today on camera? June and Mike have been together happily unmarried for nine years after meeting online, and neither showed ANY interest in tying the knot. Certainly the reality show producers saw big profits in having a Georgia redneck wedding and plenty of money changed hands. June realized it would be a very profitable move and they might as well do it on TV. Added bonus: Alana “Honey Boo Boo” is happy to see her parents married. If Alana gets a college education out of all this, it will be worth it.
