Mama June Shannon would rather lose her marriage with Justin Stroud than refund her last child Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson the $35,000 she took from her Coogan account.
In last month’s episode of their family’s reality TV, “Mama June: Family Crisis,” viewers got to see Mama June blatantly refuse to help Alana with some money for her college funds, (Alana is studying nursing at Regis University in Colorado).
Mama June’s excuse for refusing to spare a dollar for Alana’s college fees was that Alana might choose to drop out from school probably in her second year thereby making the money she spent a waste.
Mama June went ahead to point out that Alana has money in her Coogan account (trust where parents of child stars are legally required to deposit their earnings) but the thing is that Alana, 18, doesn’t have access to the money until...

A TLC series featuring a happy polygamist family has completely shifted from its original premise as Sister Wives heads into its 18th season on TLC. Once a series aimed to normalize polygamy, it evolved into a series of vignettes featuring a broken family. In just over one year, Kody Brown split from Christine, Meri, and Janelle Brown. He is currently in a monogamous relationship with Robyn Brown. For the series to continue, some changes must be on the horizon to keep TLC’s viewers interested. Here are ideas for three potential Sister Wives spinoffs for the Brown family to remain on air.

Sure, there are quality reality shows; they’re the same six that get nominated for Outstanding Competition Program at the Emmys every year.

The “Dancing with the Stars” two-night Halloween event started with the “Juniors” on Sunday night. The kids’ fright fest brought out breakthrough performances from a couple of rising contestants, while another early favorite “descended” on the leaderboard and we cried boo-hoo over the elimination at the end of the night. So who do you think gave the best performances, who gave the worst performances, and did the judges and studio audience get it right with the season’s fifth elimination?
As you might have guessed above, it was Alana Thompson — aka Honey Boo Boo from the reality series “Toddlers and Tiaras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” — who was eliminated when Halloween Night was over. Her scores had improved slightly since week one, and she seemed to have the support of the studio audience, so it looked like she had a ghost of a chance to advance pretty far in the competition.

Will Honey Boo Boo go bye-bye on ‘Dancing with the Stars: Juniors’? See where she stands in our odds
Alana Thompson came into the debut season of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” as one of its best known celebs since she was already a reality star. She’s better known as Honey Boo Boo from the TLC series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” which was spun off from the network’s “Toddlers and Tiaras.” But that didn’t help her too much with the judges, and now our users think she’ll be eliminated in week two of the competition on Sunday night, October 14.
Our predictions are based on the combined forecasts of Gold Derby users who have entered their picks in our predictions center, and they give Thompson leading odds of 19/5 of being ousted from the competition. In the premiere episode she performed a salsa with her pint-sized pro partner Tristan Ianiero, and judges Val Chmerkovskiy, Mandy Moore and Adam Rippon loved her spirit, but Chmerkovskiy thought she...

“Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” made its grand debut on Sunday night, October 7. The new series is spun off from the grown-up “Dancing with the Stars,” which has been on the air since 2005 and whose 27th season is currently underway. So how did “Juniors” compare to the mothership series, and how did these talented tykes compare to their adult counterparts? Find out below in our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the old show and the new is that “Juniors” has been taped in advance instead of airing live like the original series. That means fan votes won’t come into play for “Juniors” the way they do on the main series. So the kids had better be alright on the dance floor in order to impress the judges.
