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.

Uncle Poodle Reveals Scary Past Abuse, Family Starts Clothing Line Benefiting Anti-Bullying Charity

via glooce

If Honey Boo Boo Child has taught us anything on her hit TLC reality show - other than her unshakeable love of sketti - it's been self-esteem. The chubby seven-year-old beauty queen is famous for her fearless sassified lifestyle. Now the Shannon-Thompson clan wants to spread her gospel of self-love through a clothing line, and it's all for a cause close to the family's heart. No, the proceeds do not benefit pork rind research.

The first officially licensed merchandise of the family, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" branded clothing is a line of t-shirts for The Brand UR in support of their anti-bullying campaign. The family says they support the charity not just because they agree with the message on principal, but because Alana's Uncle Poodle, real name Lee Thompson, was vehemently bullied growing up for being openly gay in the south.

In an effort to empower gay youth, Uncle Poodle spoke in a video for Spirit Day, discussing the hardships of growing up gay in the South. Wearing a purple t-shirt for the occasion to voice his support for anti-bullying and LGBT youngsters, he said in a video message, "I was bullied day in and day out."

Lee Thompson revealed in the video that he suffered numerous beatings at the hands of bullies because of his sexuality while he was growing up, breaking his ribs and dislocating his jaw many times through the years. Thompson admits he's also had his car vandalized, something that he still has to endure today. "But I have a family that stands by me, supports me," he said. "I'm wearing purple today to let every youngster and every teen know it is okay to be who you are. Don't let nobody change that."

Alana Thompson started calling Lee "Uncle Poodle" after she heard her pageant coach used the term to refer to her gay friends. "Alana thought she was really talking about dogs. She wanted to know how many poodles she had, and what were their names. And I said, 'No, Alana, she's talking about gay people.' Well, that did it. All gay people are poodles to her now, and I'm her number one poodle," he told Georgia Voice.

"We've always supported gay people, even long before the show started," Mama June told E! News. "We didn't just do it because we have the show. Some people are kind of scared - what you'd call homophobes - but everyone knew Sugar Bear had a gay brother. It's not a big deal."

Fans can now have a bit of Honey Boo Boo in a wide variety of sizes and five different designed t-shirts. All the proceeds from each purchase go to The Brand UR anti-bullying scholarship. With slogans like "A Dollar Make Me Hollur," "You Better RedNeckognize," and "UR Poodle and Proud of It" the shirts cetainly look empowering. So far the Thompson/ Shannon family has raised $3,431 toward a scholarship for one lucky person.

With TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child" already renewed for a second season, we're betting the shirts will make an appearance on upcoming episodes.

Since premiering in August, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," which follows the life of former "Toddles & Tiaras" star Alana Thompson and her family -- mother "Mama," 33, father Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, 40, and sisters Anna "Chickadee" Shannon, 17, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, 15, and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon, 12 - has become a nationwide sensation with more than 2.1 million viewers tuning into its Sept. 13 episode. The show even topped all individual cable and network broadcasts of the Republican National Convention on Aug. 19 with a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49.

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child" has become such a hit for TLC the network ordered more "HOLLA-day" episodes, a second season, and tripled the families salary. After reportedly only earning between $5,000 and $7,000 per episode for their series, the Honey Boo Boo Child family will now reportedly pull in between $15,000 and $20,000 an episode.

The "HOLLA-day" episodes documenting Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family will begin airing in January. Season two of the series will also begin filming in Jan. 2013.

South Park is taking on TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in Wednesday’s episode. Granted, this is picking on the biggest, broadest pop culture target around right now.

The TLC series also recently received an order for several more episodes.

Here’s a short video clip of the episode, titled “Raising the Bar,” where Honey Boo Boo comes to the little mountain town:

'Honey Boo Boo' Ratings Top the Republican National Convention

VIA GLOOCE

The TLC series hits another high in its fourth episode, nearing 3 million viewers and topping cable news and broadcast network coverage of the RNC among adults 18-49.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, TLC's controversial reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family and their Toddlers and Tiaras daughter, hit another ratings high on Wednesday night.

In the demo, Honey Boo Boo did even better. The half-hour series' showing among adults 18-49 bested all other cable outings for the night -- coverage of the Republican National Convention, included -- to pull a 1.3 rating.

Fox News gave the show its closest competition with a 1.2 adults rating in that same time period. On the broadcast networks, Honey Boo Boo bested ABC and CBS' demo showing for the RNC combined and topped NBC by two tenths of a point. Aggregate coverage of the RNC across networks obviously eclipsed Honey Boo Boo considerably. Source
