The TLC reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is capturing the attention of audiences worldwide. The show recently premiered in Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg in January. It also premiered across Asia-Pacific on Jan. 31 and in Poland on Feb. 13. Upcoming premieres are scheduled for Italy, Sweden and across Latin America in March. 

The star of the show, Alana Thompson, began her rocket ride to stardom when she appeared on the fifth season premiere of Toddlers & Tiaras. The network TLC decided to give Honey Boo Boo and her entire family their very own show. The show was so popular that about 2.2 million viewers tuned in for the series premiere on Aug. 8. 

The Thompson family lives in McIntyre, GA, which has a population of 650 people. Even with the fame, the family plans to live in the same house and Alana is still attending the same school. Mother June Shannon explained that it's important to keep the family grounded, even though they are getting recognized worldwide. 

According to Honey Boo Boo's Facebook fan page, her latest business venture has been supporting the sale of Girl Scout cookies in her community. According to a Facebook post on Tuesday, the cookies are $3.50 + shipping. All boxes are autographed by the family and include autograph family photo.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian's Rep Breaks Silence on Baby's Gender

via glooce

There have been all kinds of rumors that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with a baby girl.

But on Wednesday E! News spoke with a rep for Kanye West's girlfriend, who would neither confirm nor deny the speculation surrounding Kimye's baby's gender. The rep did tell us, though: "When the time is right, she'll confirm it herself."

Kris Jenner's friend Kathie Lee Gifford had seemingly confirmed that Kim was pregnant with a girl on the Today show Tuesday, but on Wednesday the daytime host backtracked. She just "read it like everyone else did in the papers" and clarified that our favorite momager never told her the sex of the baby.
Kim misses Mason and Kanye, tweets sweet pics

Meaning? The magazines have a 50-50 chance at being right either way, but for 100 percent confirmation we'll have to wait until Kim is ready to tell us!

Somehow though, we don't think satisfying our kuriosity is Kim's top priority right now. She's been busy working on the Kardashian Kollection, glamming up Oscars parties, hitting the gym and, of kourse, spending time with her fam.

Speaking of which, the mom-to-be and her sister, Kourtney, spent some quality time together Wednesday in L.A. Kim looked kute and sexy, showing off her baby bump in a patterned dress. She also added some edge to her look with a hot leather jacket.

Now that is maternity fashion done right!

via glooce

Donald Trump's mother is no orangutan-banger ... so says the Donald himself in a new, actually-filed lawsuit obtained by TMZ. Seriously, Trump actually filed this 

The Donald just sue Bill Maher or $5 MILLION ... claiming the HBO talk show host is skipping out on his promise to donate $5 mil to charity if Trump could prove he isn't the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan 

According to Trump, Maher made the offer during an appearance on "Leno" ... after Trump had made a $5 million challenge to President Obama regarding POTUS' birth certificate 

In his suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Trump says he formally responded to Maher's challenge with a copy of his birth certificate, proving he is, in fact, the "son of Fred Trump" ... who is not a member of the Great Ape family 



Trump claims 5 "worthy charities" have now been deprived of millions of dollars in donations ... and it's all Maher's fault.

Anyone in the mood for a banana?

Yoko Ono Honors Julian Assange With Special Annual Courage Award

via glooce

Yoko Ono honored Julian Assange at her Courage Awards for the Arts ceremony in New York on Sunday evening, calling the Wikileaks founder and political refugee "courageous" for his work.

Assange accepted in absentia, as he is currently in hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London; he is in exile from Sweden, where he is facing allegations of rape and sexual assault.

"Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office; that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us," Ono said. "Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him."

Assange's Wikileaks has faced hostility from the United States government for its leak of sensitive documents. Assange, in a speech given by associates accepting the award on his behalf, dedicated the prize to the hackers working at the organization.

"Through their courage and wit they are revealing the true nature of our global human civilization," his statement said. "This is how we may reform it. Elevate it – and make it just, beyond its humble origins. Their courage in documenting war crimes, gross human rights violations, and the corruption of our societies is unequalled."

The evening also featured a tribute to Aaron Swartz, the co-founder of Reddit and Internet freedom activist who committed suicide in January as he faced federal charges for downloading documents from the MIT server.

A film about Assange called The Fifth Estate, which will star Benedict Cumberbatch, is currently in pre-production.

Karl Lagerfeld: Michelle Obama's Bangs Were "Not a Good Idea," Make Her Look "Like a News Anchor"

via glooce

 

Karl Lagerfeld is not a fan of Michelle Obama's birthday bangs.

The French designer told host Yann Barthes on Canal Plus last week that the FLOTUS' new 'do was "not a good idea."

After being shown before-and-after pictures of the first lady's hair, Lagerfeld said, "I don't understand why she changed her hair."

"I love Michelle Obama," he said before insisting that her new 'do makes her look "like a news anchor." (Un peu sévère, non?! )

That said, our fashionista FLOTUS shouldn't feel too bad about Lagerfeld's cheveux critique. Pippa Middleton and Adele have also been targeted by the outspoken 79-year-old.

But at the end of the day, Barack Obama's opinion is the most important one. "I love her bangs," he said at an inaugural gala. "She looks good. She always looks good."

Agreed. Viva la bangs!

Voice of Charlie Brown Arrested for Stalking

via glooce

 

Peter Robbins, who provided the voice of Charlie Brown on animated specials inspired by the "Peanuts" comic strip, was arrested Sunday on charges of stalking.

California authorities told TheWrap that the voice actor was detained at a border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico on Sunday at about 8 p.m.

He was taken into custody after a border patrol officer discovered Robbins was wanted by the San Diego County Sheriff's on a felony warrant, Ralph DeSio, a public affairs officer with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office, told TheWrap.

DeSio did not say what crimes Robbins allegedly committed, but the website for the San Diego County Jail, where he was transported and booked, says he faces five felony counts, including stalking and making a threat to cause death or bodily injury. Bail is set at $550,000.

Robbins is due in court on Wednesday morning.

The 56-year-old actor was the doleful voice behind Charlie Brown on several of iconic TV specials that aired in the 1960s. His "Peanuts" work includes "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and he also appeared on such shows as "My Three Sons" and "F Troop," according to IMDB.

Robbins remains active on Facebook, where he goes by Peter "Charlie Brown" Robbins and recently posted about Lance Armstrong's doping confession to Oprah Winfrey and solicited recipe ideas from fans.

U-T San Diego first reported Robbins' arrest.

Anderson Cooper Defends Beyoncé’s Lip-Sync fiasco

via glooce

For “The Ridiculist” segment of his show tonight, Anderson Cooper turned to the post-inauguration scandal that rocked the country today. Beyoncé lip-synched the national anthem!

“I respond with a big star-spangled so what?” Cooper said. “As far as I’m concerned, it is Beyoncé’s world and we are just living in it.”

Clarifying that it was her pre-recorded voice, she just wasn’t actually singing live, Cooper continued, “I’m releasing a statement right now saying I just don’t care. We got to look at Beyoncé’s beautiful face and hear Beyoncé’s beautiful voice singing the national anthem. There is only one thing we should say today and that is thank you, Beyoncé. Francis Scott Key himself would send her a fruit basket.”

After playing clips of some of the more infamous lip-synching scandals in music history from Milli Vanilli and Ashlee Simpson, Cooper had one final message for anyone questioning Beyoncé’s decision. “Talk to me after you’ve gotten on the stage in front of the president of the United States and hundreds of thousands to sing the national anthem in 40-degree weather.”

Khloe Kardashian's Body Image: 'I'm Happy With Myself If I'm A Little Heavier'

via glooce

 

Khloe Kardashian is sick and tired of being considered the "bigger" Kardashian. The "X Factor" co-host loves her body and admits she's confident because of her curves.

"A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I’m happy with myself if I’m a little heavier," Khloe tells Glamour magazine. "I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else’s idea of beauty?' I think I’m beautiful either way."

Khloe also confesses that she tries not to compare herself to her sisters Kim and Kourtney, especially when it comes to beauty.

"I’m a little more silly than they are," she explains of her distinct style. "I like to do designs on the side of my face, or cut out foil stickers from the crafts store and put them on my forehead."
