Maddy Jackson, 5, star of TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras, came under fire after posing in a Dolly Parton costume complete with fake breasts — and her dad Bill Verst accused his ex-wife Lindsay Jackson of overly sexualizing their daughter!

But a Kentucky judge ruled that Lindsay was not exploiting their daughter — and awarded her primary residential custody, with both parents having joint legal custody, according to RadarOnline.com.

As for the pageant ban that was placed for the 5-year-old, the court said she is free to enter the pageant circuit again.

“The ban against Maddy participating in pageants has been lifted,” a judge told RadarOnline.com. “She can participate in them, but there has to be a written agreement by both parents. The agreement does not have to be submitted to the court. This will still be an ongoing case since the parents disagree about the pageant participation.”

We’ll keep an eye out for Maddy in pageants — we just hope she stays away from the risque costumes!

Vanessa, 49, will appear on an upcoming episode of Anderson Cooper‘s talkshow Anderson. When Anderson asked her if the kids — who are regularly spray tanned and told to parade around in provocative clothing — were pushed too early into the pageant industry, the former beauty queen replied: “I think they don’t know what they are doing.”

“When the child is screaming and saying, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t feel like doing it.’ When they are using special juice to get them hyped,” she said in disgust, regarding the sugary and caffeinated Mountain Dew + Seven-Up mixture the kids sometimes drink.

Vanessa added, “That’s not my world and I would never have my kids do that.”

Well said. Check out the video!

Eden Wood, 7, became a star on TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras, and the pint-sized reality personality debuts in her new series Eden’s World on Logo on April 16! The retired pageant princess is “reduced to a supporting role,” according to The New York Post. The show follows her to auditions and Broadway shows, but a large portion focuses on the incessant fighting between her manager, Heather Ryan, and new publicist, Andrew Sullivan. Will fans be happy about the switch?

The added drama is essential for viewers to fully appreciate Eden’s scheduled life, the show’s producer Julia Auerback says. “If you just dropped in a 6-year-old, [the audience] would kind of be lost, unless you saw all the things on around her, and what it takes to keep this enterprise going,” she adds.

As for Eden’s manager and publicist, they are enemies. “I am the one that helped create the Eden brand that you are currently whoring off of,” Heather accuses Andrew of doing.

Andrew fires back, “Do you think we would be in the position we are in now without me?”

All about Eden! The pint-size beauty queen struts off the catwalk and into the spotlight.

Eden Wood, 7,  grew to “rule the pageant world” on TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras. But now that she’s retired, Eden’s pursuing her Kim Kardashian dreams of becoming a reality star on her own show, Eden’s World, Vulture reports. “It’s hard being Eden Wood. But I love it,” she boasts in the show’s promo.

Premiering on April 16 on the Logo channel, the show sends Eden off to pursue big city dreams in New York accompanied by her mom, publicist and manager. “My baby is going to be the next superstar,” her mom brags with her strong Southern drawl.

Of course, like most girls across the country, Eden plans to achieve super stardom before hitting puberty. She already has her own fashion line — what else does a girl need? “I wanna be a star,” Eden declares.

Eden also wants to spread her superior knowledge of the pageant world to other aspiring toddlers (or their overbearing mothers). ”It’s great to help other kids learn what got me to the top,” Eden said.

It’s Eden’s world, and we’re all just living in it.

Are you excited for the little tiara-wearing tot to have her own show? Or should Eden stay retired?

On Anderson Cooper‘s talk show, four of the most controversial moms from TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras were given pageant makeovers to mimic their daughters! Did it make the moms think twice about making their young daughters perform in revealing outfits and extreme makeup?

Alana Thompson, aka “Honey Boo Boo Child,” and her mom, June Shannon, wore hot pink tutus and ruffles. June says her corset was tight, but she thought the outfit was fun.

“We have had a blast,” she says. “This is something we’ll laugh about for years to come. This is fun, this is all about having fun.”

For June, the experiment didn’t change her attitude: “I don’t rethink any decision that I’ve made for my daughter as far as pageants.”

She even compared the highly competitive pageant world to sports. “To us women who do it everyday, it is a sport,” June explains. “Alana, she loves doing it, she’s not into the basketball or the baseball or anything like that.”

The mother of 8-year-old Laci Crews wasn’t a fan of her Lady Gaga-esque costume, who described the revealing spandex getup as “weird.” Yet, she didn’t have any problem with her young daughter sporting the look.

“I mean, she doesn’t have anything, it’s different for children,” Alicia Morgan said. “It’s not showing anything. It’s a swimsuit for her.”

Check out the rest of the interviews and makeovers on Anderson Cooper when it airs on Friday, Feb. 17!

Toddlers & Tiaras star Eden Wood made her name in pageants, but now she’s taking the fashion world by storm! “I liked [the fashion show] better than pageants,” Eden told HollyBaby.com exclusively at her From Cradle to Crown book signing at the Openhouse Gallery in Soho on Feb. 13. “It was nice whenever I walked in the fashion show.”

Eden and her mom Mickey Wood premiered Eden’s Sparkle Baby line with Cicciabella on Feb. 12 with a fun fashion show.

“Last night was a big night for little Miss Wood,” explained Mickey. “We premiered the Sparkle Baby line, which is kind of a spin-off of our world of pageantry and the clothes she is known to wear over the course of her ‘long life.’”

“What little doesn’t want to be a princess?” Mickey continued. “It’s very red carpet, special occasions, award ceremonies, but we hope to go into a more boutique line. It’s a representation of who she is.”

And Adria Laxson, the CEO of Cicciabella, thinks Eden makes the perfect spokesmodel. “I think it’s her natural swag that makes her amazing at what she does,” Adria said. “Eden is a character. I always try to describe her, but I can’t come up with any better way than with she’s got swag.”

No matter what venture Eden takes on next, she’s a performer. “I like being on stage,” the 6-year-old said.

Toddlers & Tiaras star Eden Wood knows how to work a catwalk! The 6-year-old debuted two new fashion lines during New York Fashion Week for Cicciabella at the Openhouse Gallery in Soho, and she was a natural on the runway. “It’s very fun because I love it,” Eden told the crowd.

Eden’s mom Mickie hosted the evening and started the evening by announcing the launch of Eden’s “Sparkle Baby” fashion line. Young models pranced down the runway wearing Eden’s colorful pageant-wear dresses. The second show featured Eden’s Cowgirl Riders — a line of western-inspired plush boots.

“It’s just a journey you can’t imagine,” Mickie said at the end of the show. “I was worried nobody would be here.”

The pageant mom was overcome with emotion after the show ended, and she almost broke down in tears. “We’ve done it,” she told Eden.

Spunky Eden grabbed the mike and asked to see the other models walk one more time. “Girls, I love your routine, so come back on the stage and work it,” she announced.

Get a sneak peek of the performance of Alana’s popular routine on ‘Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers!’

Six-year-old Alana Thompson – who made the phrase “Honey Boo Boo Child” famous — hits the stage to dance her Toddlers & Tiaras routine, donning short Daisy Duke shorts and exposing her mid-drift. Most mothers wouldn’t let their daughter’s do this, BUT Alana’s mom June Shannon is smiling ear to ear, as she guides her daughter through her booty shaking routine.

Alana gets hopping and bopping from ‘go-go juice,’ which — according to RadarOnline.com – is a combination of Mountain Dew and Red Bull! We don’t see too many 6-year-olds drinking that concoction – no wonder she’s so upbeat!

Alana was shocked after her performance, when Dr. Drew Pinsky surprised her with a sash and crown naming her ‘Lifechanger‘s Grand Supreme’!

Don’t forget to tune in to see little “Honey Boo Boo Child!
