Mama June
Here Comes the Bride
All Dressed in Camouflage

0505_honey_boo_boo_splashMama June is on a show on TLC -- home of shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" and "I Found the Gown" -- but clearly she did not enlist the help of either of them to pick out the dress for her wedding today.

As TMZ first reported, Mama (aka June Shannon) and Sugar Bear (aka Mike Thompson) decided to tie the knot today in Georgia. 

Our sources had said that the people working the wedding were told to dress in either hot pink or camo clothing ... but we didn't think that extended to the participants as well!

Honey Boo Boo
Girl Scouts Cookie Sale
Must Go On!

0304_honey_booboo_PCNHoney Boo Boo and Mama June kept their word -- after getting shut down online -- and took to the Milledgeville Mall in Georgia yesterday to help a local Girl Scouts troop sell some delicious, delicious cookies.

As TMZ first reported, the Girl Scouts of the USA had a big problem with HBB using her Facebook page to peddle the delicious, delicious cookies -- because it was cheating.

But the Boo Boo clan promised to keep on helping and they did just that, with the whole family in tow -- Sugar Bear, Chubbs, Pumpkin, Chickadee and baby Kaitlyn. 

Alana even made a deal with customers ... agreeing to pose for a pic if they bought five boxes of those delicious, delicious cookies.

Everybody wins.

Honey Boo Boo
Sugar Bear's Nightmare
No More Fried Food!!

Exclusive
0228-sugar-bear-honey-boo-boo-mama-june-TLC
Honey Boo Boo's dad is in danger of getting his redneck card pulled -- 'cause TMZ has learned Sugar Bear's health is forcing him to cut out ... FRIED FOOD!!!

Sugar Bear was released from the hospital on Thursday after checking in last week with severe chest pains. Doctors diagnosed him with pancreatitis.

Mama June tells us Sugar's “feeling pretty good, for the most part” -- and doctors say if he takes his meds he should be able to keep flare-ups under control.

But June says doctors also advised Sugar to lay off fried and spicy foods -- no small feat for anyone living in the deep south.

June says the family plans to eat the same stuff they'd normally eat -- which ain't exactly Lean Cuisine -- and Sugar will just have to sit out on fried chicken nights.

At least sketti ain't fried.

Mama June & Honey Boo Boo
You Can't Stop Us from Selling Girl Scout Cookies!!!

Exclusive
0228-honey-boo-boo-mama-june-girls-scout
Mama June
and Honey Boo Boo are going full steam ahead with their Girl Scout cookie campaign ... despite stern warnings from the Girl Scout organization.

As we reported, the Girl Scouts of the USA contacted HBB today to remove a banner she had put on her Facebook, in which she solicited sales for Girl Scout cookies from her 700,000 fans. (FYI -- HBB's not even a Girl Scout. She just agreed to help a Girl Scout friend of hers.)

0228-honey-boo-boo-girl-scout-cookies
A rep for the GSUSA told us they had the banner removed because it was unfair to other Girl Scouts trying to sell cookies.

But Mama June tells TMZ, she's going to continue selling Girl Scout cookies any way she can ... even if she's not allowed to post advertisements on HBB's Facebook ... because it's for a family friend.

June tells us, "If I can raise more money for a troop, whoever they are, especially in an area where they don’t get a lot of money, and parents can’t afford to buy a ton of cookies, why wouldn't I help?"

She added, "We're doing nothing wrong."

June says she's already sold 400 boxes and the orders keep pouring in.

Honey Boo Boo
Girl Scouts SHUT DOWN
Online Cookie Campaign

Exclusive
0228-honey-boo-boo-girl-scout-cookies
Honey Boo Boo
 hawking Girl Scout cookies to her hundreds of thousands of fans online is UNFAIR ... so says a rep for the Girl Scouts of the USA, so the organization shut down her campaign.

HBB posted the ad on her Facebook page -- which has 701,000 likes.  She also got in the girl scouts' faces by posting pictures of stacks of boxes that she sold.  FYI ... she's not selling the cookies for herself ... she's doing it for a friend.

0228_honey_boo_boo_sub_facebook2
It didn't go down well with the organization.  A rep for GSUSA in Georgia tells TMZ ... they contacted her site's administrator and explained online selling is off-limits, because it defeats the whole purpose of selling the cookies -- to teach girls all sorts of things, including goal setting, people skills, etc.

So HBB's people took down the ads, but get this ... the sales she's already made will be counted.

If HBB wants to help her friend, she's gotta stand outside a whole bunch of Piggly Wigglys.

Honey Boo Boo's Uncle Poodle
Naked Photos For Sale

Exclusive
0215-Grindr-Pic-honey-boo-boo-tmz

Honey Boo Boo's Uncle Poodle is sending pics of his schlong to random men on the Internet and name-dropping HBB -- all in the name of getting laid -- this according to a man who is now shopping the dong shots to media outlets.

TMZ was offered the pics which show a naked man who appears to be Uncle Poodle ... in the shower. According to the seller -- a man who lives in Georgia -- Poodle sent them earlier this week on the gay social app Grindr.

Poodle -- real name Lee Thompson -- is frequently featured on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and is openly gay.

The man selling the pics claims Poodle dropped HBB's name almost immediately during a chat ... saying,"So you know who honey boo boo is? That's my niece."

The seller claims there was no hookup.

We called Poodle to see if he's planning to take legal action, but haven't heard back.

Honey Boo Boo
First Redneck
TRUS' FUND BABY!!

Exclusive
0105-honey-boo-boo-june-splashHoney Boo Boo is already the most famous redneck, and now she's set up to be the richest when she hits 21 ... courtesy of a trust fund set up by Mama June.

June tells TMZ ... the lion's share of earnings from "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" (a cool $15k - $20k per episode) is being equally divided into funds for all 5 girls ...  Alana "HBB" Thomson (7), Lauryn (12), Jessica (15) and Anna (18) and baby Kaitlyn.

June says the little stars can't touch the cash until they turn 21 -- except in case of medical emergencies or using it for school -- saying, "I want my kids to look back and say, 'Mama played it smart. Not like those other reality TV people.'"

In fact, June tells us she never even sees the coin ... "TLC puts the money into the girls' trust accounts for me and then I get an email telling me how much everyone gets."

June added ... "You're never gonna see me drive a Range Rover or a Mercedes. I'll drive one if someone else pays for it. Never gonna live above my means."

As for their means ... Mama June says Sugarbear still rakes in cash from his contractor job, which is how they pay the bills.

The family's only major purchase since suddenly becoming famous is a Ford Expedition ... a 2005.

Honey Boo Boo
Rednecks on Ice ...
Go BOOM!!

Exclusive Photos
1231_honey_boo-boo_launch
Honey Boo Boo won't be trading child beauty pageants for figure skating anytime soon -- not based on the giant face dives she took during a recent ice rink adventure.

TMZ obtained the first pics of Alana Thompson struggling on her blades last week in Conyers, GA. Mama June and Sugar Bear were along for moral -- and sometimes physical -- support while HBB tried to make her way around the rink.

We're told reality show cameras were there to capture all the black and boo boos Alana suffered -- but she did eventually make it around the rink ... with some assistance.

Too much go-go juice.

Honey Boo Boo's House
Caution:
Redneck Xmas in Progress

1217_honey_boo_boo_PCNHoney Boo Boo and family recently transformed their home for the holidays ... and it's a full blown fire hazard of epic proportions.

Inflatable Santa, inflatable Frosty, inflatable Rudolph -- pretty much every Xmas character ever makes an appearance in their yard (sorry Jesus). The reality TV stars also strung up enough lights to ensure their redneck haven will finally be seen from space ... an Xmas miracle!

The house is SUCH a scene, it even had to be surrounded by caution tape ... you know, just to make sure no one thought they were actually at the North Pole instead.

'Honey Boo Boo' Star
Hell Yeah, I Wanna Do
a Redneck Porno!

Exclusive
1217_crazy-tony_tmz_composite
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star "Crazy" Tony Lindsey is so dang excited by the recent redneck porn boom ... he's ready to make a hillbilly skin flick of his own!

We broke the story ... sales of redneXXX films are surging -- increasing 250% in the last two years -- thanks in part to the redneck reality TV craze and shows like "Honey Boo Boo."

"Crazy" Tony -- HUGE hillbilly porn fan -- tells us ... he's "honored" to have sparked the trend and is gunning to get in on the action -- by bumping uglies with another bumpkin in his very own porno!

His lone concession: he doesn't want any crazy porno names ... claiming "Everybody already knows me as 'Crazy' Tony, so why change it?”

No word on whether his gorilla costume will make an appearance.
