Sadly, just 15 months later, Mama June has given called it quits with Sugar Bear (real name, Mike Thompson) after reportedly discovering an online dating profile that he had been using to search for potential cheating partners. “Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship,” said Mama June in a statement.” “We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens, the girls will always be our #1 priority. We want to thank y’all for your support.” The Shannon-Thompson family is currently wrapping filming on the fifth season of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Once they’re finished, Mama June says she’ll take her children and move out of the home she’d shared with Thompson.

Rosie O’Donnell Stands Up for Frozen, Slams Mayim Bialik

It didn’t take long for Rosie O’Donnell to stir things up on The View. But who would have guessed her first feud would be with… Mayim Bialik?!? Earlier this week, The Big Bang Theory star blasted Frozen , arguing that the highest-animated movie of all-time focuses far too much on a young woman’s search for a man. And then that man turns out to be evil, no less! Overall, Bialik’s biggest beef with Frozen is “the way the female characters are drawn and animated,” specifically the “Barbie doll proportions of their bodies in general: tiny waists, ample busts, and huge heads.” A mother of five, O’Donnell did not care for the veteran actress’ criticism. “I feel that Frozen is the best Disney movie ever made,” she said on The View, surrounded by her new co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, and Nicolle Wallace. “I’ve seen it 250 times. I can say it, I have every word memorized, [and] I love it like the rest of America.” That much is definitely true. Everyone loves Frozen, most adorably this mother and daughter . O’Donnell went on to detail each point of Bialik’s insults, shooting down every assertion made by the former child star and concluding about one of them: “Princes sometimes suck!” So sad and so true. O’Donnell’s fellow panelists on The View cracked up as she offered her diatribe on Frozen, which ended with her handing out DVDs of the film to everyone in the audience.  “Do you feel better?” Wallace asked O’Donnell when she caught her breath. “I feel better,” Rosie replied. 18 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming 1.

Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day – although, you’ve probably already figured that out from the many horrible pun-based jokes in your Facebook feed. (Our personal favorite: What kind of movies do pirates like? Rated Arrgh! ) Despite the lame gags it inspires, the holiday has special meaning year, as pirates have gotten a bad rap lately. Whether is’s the Somali baddies terrorizing Captain Philips , or the far less terrifying HBO-foes pirating Game of Thrones , the mere mention of the P-word is enough to shiver anyone’s timbers these days. 7 Best Pirates in Pop Culture 1. The Pirates! Band of Misfits This 2012 kids’ flick brought a slew of celebrity voices to the battle for Pirate of the Year. So we’ve decided to put together a list of the good, the bad, and the peg-legged to help remind you why the world fell in love with pirates in the first place. Sure, Johnny Depp’s swaggering, Keith Richards-inspired Captain Jack Sparrow helped kick off the pirate craze back in 2003, but even though that series has grown stale (if you haven’t seen Pirates of the Caribbean 4 yet, don’t bother), there’s still plenty to love about the badasses of the high seas. So check out the gallery above to relive some of the great pirate moments from the past thirty years of pop culture. Just remember: proper pirate appreciation is both a science, and an arrrrrt .
