Do you know "Honey Boo Boo Child" yet? Fans of the series "Toddlers & Tiaras" sure do. Honey Boo Boo Child -- aka Alana Thompson -- is a hand-on-her-hips, hyperactive-is-putting-it-mildly hoot, destined for superstardom, even while she is a total "Little Rascals/Our Gang" throwback; a gal who'd have given Darla a run for her money as far as Alfalfa's heart was concerned.

She is already a star, having made a name for herself thanks to what many journalists are alarmingly comfortable referring to as her "highly caffeinated go-go juice," and the admittedly hilarious zingers she launches after guzzling the stuff. The 6-year-old's spin-off series, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," will also feature mom June, father "Sugar Bear," and her sisters, "Pumpkin," Chubbs," and "Chickadee."
