A bill seeking to outlaw child beauty pageants—arguing that they hypersexualize minors—has passed in the French Senate 196 to 146 votes. If the bill is passed by the National Assembly it will officially become law, leaving hordes of purposeless stage mères to drift the narrow French lanes in feral packs, hawking used…
A mother of a little girl featured on a 2011 episode of Toddlers & Tiaras—in which she padded the 4-year-old's bra and rear end for a Dolly Parton routine—might lose custody of her daughter over the televised stage costume.

Human Barbie Sarah Burge—you know, the one who stuffed her 7-year-old kid's Christmas stocking with a liposuction voucher and gifted her with a breast implant fund for her birthday—is coming stateside with daughter Poppy with two specific goals in mind: winning Toddlers & Tiaras and competing together in pageants all…
On last night's episode of T&T, there was a lot of bad blood between two moms whose young daughters (Gabby and Alaska) often compete in the same age division of the same pageants. On camera, they repeatedly made barbed comments each other—about Alaska's mom's missing teeth, bitchy judgement about the color of a…
There are certain experiences of growing up that we all share: Feeling powerless because you don't get to make the rules, feeling powerful because your imagination can create anything, picking on someone and being picked on. Then, of course, there's the time when one mother gets her daughter to say that your mother…
Part of what made the story of the murder of JonBenet Ramsey so salacious and tabloid-worthy is that — back in 1996 — it was the first most of us had even heard of the competitive world of high-glitz child beauty pageants. Today, seeing a heavily made-up 6-year-old parading around a stage in little more than false…
It looks like Toddlers & Tiaras: The French Edition won't be happening anytime soon.

On last night's episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, one pageant mom admitted that she regularly puts her 8-year-old daughter Ever Rose on a calorie-counting diet leading up to competitions. There's nothing wrong with teaching your kid about making healthy food choices, but making a little girl so aware of her weight and…
Last night's episode of Toddlers & Tiaras was extra special because this particular episode featured "one of us." Rich Juzwiak—co-creator of Pot Psychology and owner of Winston the cat—was asked to judge the Universal Royalty Hollywood pageant, so he donned a tux and became something of a Greek chorus for the…
Now that she's been on several episodes of Toddlers & Tiaras, Anderson Cooper's talk show, and even had a Funny or Die video parodying her, child pageant contestant MaKenzie is truly famous, and with that fame comes a bunch of bullshit hassles, like dealing with hangers on—literally, as her "fans" cling to her neck,…
Has your mom never experienced the joy of judging the women on Toddlers & Tiaras, Little Miss Perfect, and Dance Moms? Perhaps this Valentine's Day you should let her know just how "cuh-razy" other moms can be with a card that reads:
Last night on Toddlers & Tiaras, we spent quite a bit of time with Tricia, SamiJo's mom. Tricia, who has a Jesus fish tattoo and a cross-adorned plaque in the kitchen of her crossy home which reads, "when in doubt, look up" explained to us that much has changed since we saw her earlier this year. For starters, she …
