Toddlers & Tiaras: This Is What You Get When You Raise Entitled Children
Tracie Egan Morrissey · 06/16/11 01:00PMFor last night's premiere of the fourth season of Toddlers & Tiaras, the series' breakout stars—Eden Wood and Makenzie—were set up to go head-to-head in an '80s-themed pageant, with lots of hoopla leading up to the actual event. The girls (ages 6 and 5, respectively) were flown out to L.A. to appear on Entertainment Tonight, and throughout the episode, they were each shown how their lives have changed now that they've been "discovered" and are on their paths to fame. There were both pumped-up in their interview segments — and both were expecting to win the crown — but when it came to the actual competition, neither of them won the grand prize, which at first caused confusion and then, ultimately, lots of tears.

On Sunday, a woman named Missy Alison went to a Starbucks in the Long Island, N.Y. town of Centereach for a Mocha-choco-loco-hobo-latte, and while there witnessed what she calls "one of the most brazen and unapologetic displays of homophobia I have ever witnessed in my entire life."
