When Tricia and her daughter SammiJo were first featured on an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras last year, she and her husband fought in front of the cameras about money. He believed that the estimated $100,000 that they'd spent on pageants was a waste. Oddly, he had included the expense of his wife's "boob job" into that… » 4/18/12 6:20pm 4/18/12 6:20pm

Remember when living doll Eden Wood, who first rose to fame on Toddlers & Tiaras, retired from doing pageants at the tender age of six? Even though she announced vague plans to take over the world back then, we all kind of hoped someone would freeze her in time and set her on a shelf where she would increase in value… » 3/15/12 9:00pm 3/15/12 9:00pm

"I'm just speechless right now. Why would people do this to their child." — Ethan, at 14 years-old, has a better grasp on parenting than than the majority of moms and dads on Toddlers & Tiaras. Thankfully, the children are our future. » 2/20/12 3:45pm 2/20/12 3:45pm

On today's highly anticipated Anderson, the mothers of Toddlers & Tiaras, in addition to lamely defending their highly questionable parenting choices, were given makeovers modeled after some of their daughters more questionable pageant looks. It was delightful. It was grotesque. It was everything you'd want it to be.… » 2/17/12 5:45pm 2/17/12 5:45pm

Following Toddlers & Tiaras for the past few seasons, we know that pageant moms give their kids Pixy Stix and even Red Bull to pump up their energy, but none of the little beauty queens ever seemed to really have an understanding about their forced relationship with mood altering substances—until last night's episode.… » 1/05/12 3:20pm 1/05/12 3:20pm

On last night's episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, we met Kelly, whose 23-month-old daughter Natalie was competing in some random pageant inside of a drab hotel room (seriously, the venues always look like sad sets from an Eastern Block film). Natalie screamed and cried while she was being dressed, screamed and cried while… » 12/15/11 11:50am 12/15/11 11:50am

Anderson Cooper invited pageant kids, their moms, and a disgruntled ex-pageant girl onto his daytime show for an intelligent discussion about the child pageant circuit. Okay, maybe it wasn't that intelligent, but Eden Wood did do a little song and dance! » 10/21/11 9:50am 10/21/11 9:50am

Last night on Toddlers And Tiaras, we met Melissa, a mom who has spent $30,000 on pageants and says of her daughter: "I feel like her and I are the same person. We live he same life and we are best friends and I just feel like that is me on stage." Except when her daughter, Carley, doesn't obey Melissa, Melissa speaks… » 9/22/11 1:45pm 9/22/11 1:45pm

If you could dress your 3-year-old up as anything in the world, it'd be a prostitute, right? » 9/03/11 3:35pm 9/03/11 3:35pm

I'm not one of those people who watches Toddlers & Tiaras and wrings her hands over what these kids are put through. Yes, I sit and totally pass judgment on these people, as I do with most subjects on reality TV, but mostly I enjoy the kitsch and glitz the kiddie pageants supply. In fact, I like living in a world where … » 8/25/11 5:40pm 8/25/11 5:40pm

This is Mia. She's two years old. Her pageant routine involves appearing on stage in a white robe with angel wings as the opening notes of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" play. Then she strips to reveal a gold cone-breasted bustier. » 1/07/11 1:09pm 1/07/11 1:09pm
