In the surest sign yet that the world will come to an end this year, Honey Boo Boo Child is getting her own spinoff.

According to US Weekly, six-year-old Alana Thompson -- introduced to TLC viewers via "Toddlers & Tiaras" in January -- is confirmed to star in "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

The new reality series -- so far consisting of six half-hour episodes -- will intersperse glimpses of the toddler's professional life with her tiara-less personal life among the mudpits of rural Georgia.

Viewers will get to see plenty of their favorite star along with her belching mom, June; her chalk-mining dad, Sugar Bear; and sisters Lauryn "Pumpkin," 12; Jessica "Chubbs," 15; and Anna "Chickadee," who is 17 and pregnant.


A statement from the apparently proud network calls Ms. Boo Boo Child "more than just a Go-Go Juice-drinking beauty queen."

In other words, the Mayan calendar is correct.

Well, if the world doesn't end this year, maybe it should.

.Doesn't say much for this child's parents that they are willing to prostitute her for a few bucks and it says even less for a network willing to pay to do so.  It'll be a huge hit for TLC who long ago gave up trying to teach anything except how low people will go to get their faces on TV.

"Honey Boo Boo"?  I think I'm going to be sick now.....Doesn't her mother require a truck scale to determine her ton weight?  I thought so.   This is beyond disgusting.

I guess it is not enough that one of the other "Toddlers and Tiaras" pseudo-stars has her own show. (I forgot what her name is) They have to give one to the next break-out "star".

Eww... another disgusting reality show.. and this time they have even weirder nicknames! Seriously though, this is just sad and to think that this all revolves around a peageant "6year old" is even more stupid. On top of that, she has a sister who is 17andPregnant... guess who is getting their reality show next??

I've watched Toddlers and Tiaras once and had turn it off. This little girl is a spoiled brat with a crappy attitude and her mother is even worse. I don't get why she's getting a show.

Where are the producers with brains and writing ability. Can't someone write a decent movie?
Give this child a chance to live a real life.

As long as people keep watching this crap they will continue to put it out there. Just stop watching it, put down the damn remote and pick up a book for petes sake, or switch over to something that has a little bit of dignity behind it.

Okay, how isit  that this child has not been removed by child protective services?? And TLC should be ashamed of themselves. The entire network should either be put out of business or renamed something other than the learning channel. What exactly are we learning from shows such as this?? Or the new "Obese and Expecting" - what the heck??!!! It's rewarding and glamorizing disgusting trends and behaviors amont young mothers-to-be. I guess "16 and pregnant" wasn't messed up and scandalous enough. It just makes me puke. And people who watch these shows should be ashamed of themselves too.You all are the reason why they keep paying these folks money to keep doing these terrible things to themselves and their kids. I have seen previews and that was enough for me to want to puke. It's the perfect business model. Find people whose lives are like a car wreck - everyone will want to watch. Tape them just making bigger and bigger losers out of themselves for a quick buck, sit back and reap the profits. Shows like this make me wish we had some government censorship. The definition of obscenity on TV should be expanded to include drinking/smoking pregnant obese teenagers, and pagent moms feeding their toddlers corn-syrup and Redbull conconctions (or whatever is in that "juice").

This picture is all I have seen and I come to the conclusion that TV executives, producers, etc. have completely run out of ideas.  A show just for this little piglet?  TLC is not a channel I watch in the first place, but this puts in on the never-stop-on-this-channel list.

She's got her dad's mokiner and her mom's double chin. This poor child will likely grow up to resent her mother both for thrusting her into the spotlight via vicarious living and for teaching her the nutrition habits that have clearly served the family so well.

I don't even know what to say to this. It's absolutely disgusting and horrifying. 

Way to go, "parent". Expose your child even more. Isn't this the girl who was so tired, she fell off the table turning the Toddlers in Tiara show? Poor kid.

The embodiment of Satan himself and all the evils he stands for all wrapped up in this 6 year old little girl.
