Toddlers and Tiaras’ Clip of the Day: “I Ain’t Never Seen Shirley Temple Like That Before!”

Pint-sized hopefuls — and their completely sane moms — vied for a $10,000 prize (yeah, count those zeros again) at the Universal Royalty Hollywood pageant on last night’s Toddlers & Tiaras, with the big bucks bringing out an extra dose of crazy for our entertainment-slash-horror.

Behold the Battle of Shirley Temples, in which Mia’s mom (who is also convinced the pageant director is sabotaging her daughter) fumes over another little girl’s attention-grabbing interpretation that includes less “Good Ship Lollipop,” more “HOLY COW, THAT KID IS DROPPIN’ IT LIKE IT’S HOT.”

I suppose we should just be grateful Kayla’s mom didn’t teach her how to “work” that lollipop, too.

Great, now I’ve given them an idea for the next pageant. Darn! I was feel stupid.
