Honey Boo Boo fake snores in Dr. Drew’s face: Too much TV for the kid?

Honey Boo Boo: Is the rising 7-year-old reality TV star whose trademark slogan is “Dolla make me holla,” trying to tell us – and her handlers – something by moaning and snoring in Dr. Drew’s face?

Honey Boo Boo, the rising  7-year-old star of TLC’s reality TV show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” showed signs of overdosing on her TV overexposure today. Alana Thompson moaned, snored, and closed her eyes to avoid an interview with HLN’s Dr. Drew Pinsky, airing today.  She even swatted at the host and her mom who were both trying to coax her into yet another of a series of TV promotions she has been involved in.

The chubby, barefoot, and always straightforward star from poorest Georgia – whose trademark slogan is “Dolla make me holla!” – was asked “Do you like being on TV?”

“No!” she yelled, adding, “My fans come up to me and I hate it!”

The show will air tonight on CNN’s HLN channel.
