Here's something I never thought I'd hear myself say: It's about damn time Honey Boo Boo gets more money!! But I'm saying it, and I mean it, too: Show Alana Thompson the money!! Rumor has it the 7-year-old reality star (well, her family, really) is asking for $10,000 an episode for the second season of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and if that sounds like a lot, well, you better redneckognize, or however the hell you spell it. After all, it's not like being America's First Redneck Royal Family is without risks -- their home was recently broken into (nothing was stolen, because, well, seriously?) and now Mamma June and Chickadee and Tinky-Winky and Dipsy (those last two might be Teletubbies) and the rest are under police protection, with a special bodyguard just for Honey Boo Boo Child. And I'm willing to bet TLC makes enough off of those "Beautimous" t-shirts alone to cover the reported $2,000 to $4,000 they paid the family for the first season.
Then there's the not-so-insignificant issue of what some of those OTHER famous families make for their televised trainwrecks. Khloe Kardashian -- JUST Khloe -- pulls in a reported $20,000 per episode. (Kim Kardashian, if you really want to know, makes double that amount.) Bristol Palin? An estimated $50K for every installment of Life's a Tripp. Hell, the Landry family from Swamp People make $25,000 per episode!
What it boils down to is this: The Honey Boo Boo family deserves the same compensation/perks as their peers, if not more, because they introduced the term "vajiggle jaggle" to the world.
Do you think the Honey Boo Boo family deserves a salary bump and more security?

UGH!!! enough of this fat nasty overweight child and her GROSS family!!!! who cares? everone of these kids needs to be taken from this family. including the 15 year olds baby. or 16, i dont know i never watch the crap. TLC has gone down the drain. nasty ass people. it's disgusting. who cares that someone broke in? i sure as hell dont.
I fell a sleep and left the tv on I woke up to that crap! They have subtitles because they can not talk right!!!!! There is no way I would never do that to myself on purpose!
THEY ARE A NATURAL COMEDY, NOT SCRIPTED AND MUCH MORE FUN TO WATCH THAN THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BRAVO AND E'S KARTRASHIANS.
Wow, Gina, you should REALLY be ashamed of yourself. Ok, so you don't like the show/agree with how the mom is raising the kids, but to stoop down and call a little girl fat and disgusting? YOU my friend are the disgusting one. It's people like YOU in society today that are the problem, not moms like June (and no I DON'T agree with most of her parenting style) that are actually involved in their child's life. True, Alana could stand to lose a little weight and so could mom but my god, is it really necessary to stoop that low? I hope you're ashamed of yourself, and if you're not, you really should be.
