LeBron James enjoyed a ho-hum 2012, winning his first NBA title… his third MVP award… AND an Olympic Gold Medal. No, it’s safe to say the editors of the world’s most famous sports magazine didn’t exactly have a tough time coming up with the 2012 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. “He was the most dominant athlete this year,” Paul Fichtenbaum, Editor of Time Inc.’s Sports Group, said of LeBron. “The intangibles [James] brought to the court were significant in leading his teams to victory. He was a selfless player, doing whatever it took to will the Heat and Team USA, making all of his teammates better.” James is the first NBA star to land SI ‘s top honor since his teammate, Dwayne Wade, did so in 2006. He joins past Sportsman of the Year selections such as Brett Favre, Michael Phelps, Derek Jeter and Drew Brees. But did he deserve it? Should LeBron have won Sportsman of the Year? Yes, absolutely! No, he still sucks! View Poll »
Adam Levine has put Honey Boo Boo on blast. Move over, American Idol , MTV, Fox News and The Roxy ; The outspoken Maroon 5 singer and Voice coach is voicing his opinion on the TLC reality star, and his opinion isn’t good. “Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization,” he says in the latest GQ . “Just because so many people watch a show doesn’t mean it’s good.” “So many people witness atrocities and can’t take their eyes away, but that doesn’t mean they’re good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That’s. Ever. Happened.” Not a lot of wiggle room to backtrack that statement, but clearly Levine won’t be doing that, as he actually grew even more heated when discussing HBB. “It’s complete f-cking ignorance and the most despicable way to treat your kids,” he said. “F-ck those people. You can put that in the magazine: F-ck those idiots. They’re just the worst. Sorry, I’m so sensitive to that — like, I don’t know, man, it’s upsetting.” “Just to clarify, I said, ‘F-ck those people!'” Consider it clarified, man. Duly noted. Adam Levine , 33, isn’t the only star who takes issue with Alana Thompson, 7 and her Georgia-based family, which average 2.3 million viewers a week for TLC. He is, however, now the most vocal, unabashed and passionate opponent of all things Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in all of western civilization. We challenge anyone to take his crown after this tirade. What’s your take on Honey Boo Boo and family? Love ’em! Hate ’em! Love to hate ’em! View Poll »
Honey Boo Boo is the proud new owner of a pet chicken named Nugget . But PETA wants to make sure the seven-year old beauty queen understands: Nugget is only meant to serve as a pet, not a meal. “As I’m sure you are learning from your chicken, chickens are smart, interesting animals with personalities of their own,” reads a letter written by PETA rep Michelle Cho and posted by E! News. The organization goes on to outline how well chickens do math and have good memories, making a few suggestions to young Alana Thompson in the process. Maybe she ought to change the animal’s name to “Not a Nugget” in order to “let your fans know that they should be nice to chickens by not eating them.” But that doesn’t mean Honey Boo Boo and her backwards family must refrain from eating chicken nuggets altogether; PETA is sending them a sampling of veggie-nuggets. Sounds…. yummy? In other PETA news, did you know that going vegan can increase your sexual stamina ?
June Shannon may dominate the world of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo , but Sugar Bear stepped in to the spotlight on last night’s episode of this nauseating TLC hit. Yes, it was Mike’s time to shine, as the birth father of Alana Thompson surprised his brood with a pool. Find out a lot more in our following patented +/- recap of the action down south… The family goes shopping at a store called “Shh! It’s a Wig!” ( PLUS 4 for the name) because June believes fake hair is the key to her child’s pageant success. But Sugar Bear steals the show, trying on a mullet because he wants to be taller and getting turned on by June going blonde. (“It makes me feel a little frisky and I kind of wanted to jump some bones.”) MINUS 27 because… ewwww ! Even though his “putting-together skills ain’t that good,” Sugar Bear builds the aforementioned pool for his family. PLUS 6 because that’s actually a nice gesture and then MINUS 6 right back for June later showing how appreciative she is of her man by referring to him as “emotionless.” At dinner, the gals grill June on why she won’t marry Mike, seeming the only decent man among her many baby daddies , despite being with him for eight years. Says Shannon: “Relationships come and go, but my kids will always be forever. Family is always first, period.” MINUS 12 for not counting your child’s father as part of the “family.” “We’re not fat, we’re pleasingly plump.” – Sugar Bear earning himself PLUS 7 points. The Thompsons go dumpster diving and then watch fireworks, as we give Alana PLUS 5 for declaring it the “best day of my life!” We can’t reign on a kid’s enthusiasm. TOTAL: -23.
