Little Eden Wood, now 7, was the breakout star of TLC’s sobering look into the world of child pageantry, Toddlers & Tiaras. We covered this child last fall, when it came out that her parents had spent over $150k, and taken out a second mortgage on their home, to make Eden a star. Eden is getting a spinoff show on Logo called Eden’s World. The premise is that she and her mother will be mentoring other would-be child beauty queens. As part of that she did a promotional appearance on The Wendy Williams show that I found a little appalling. (Video is above.) Eden repeatedly talked back to Wendy and gave her a lot of attitude, questioning whether Wendy’s hair was real and asking her not to sing her song. Here’s more, thanks to Radar:
Former pageant queen turned wannabe singer Eden Wood turned out in all of her glory for an appearance on the Wendy Williams show Monday, and RadarOnline.com has video.
The seven-year-old starlet was in a full face of make-up and a head full of hair extensions to promote her new reality show Eden’s World but called the talk show host out on her own fake hair.
“Do I recognize extensions in your hair?” Wendy dared to ask the audacious youngster.
“What about your hair?” Eden cheekily quipped to laughter from the audience before Wendy admitted, “It’s a full wig.”
“Oh yeah baby,” Eden said on her desire to be a pop star and when Wendy started to do her rendition of Eden’s song Cutie Patootie, the bubbly blonde snapped back, “Oh please don’t sing it.”
Eden said that her new reality show is about “helping other kids get to the top of pageantry. So I’m going to Kentucky, Japan, all over. And it’s really fun for me because I love helping other kids.”
Eden then strutted her sassy stuff in front of the “diva fan” and “worked it” in her over-the-top pink outfit.
The Toddlers & Tiaras star recently announced that she was retiring from being in pageants to focus on her other endeavors.

I have a kid who is also seven. Since he was old enough to understand, I have tried to teach him to be respectful, to say “please” and “thank you” and to be thoughtful and kind. (I could gush about what a great kid he is, but all of us who are parents can do that!) I don’t know when I got to be such a mom, but this little girl’s attitude and sense of entitlement are outrageous. She needs to mind her manners. It’s not her fault. Before she was potty trained she was taught that she was special and that she was better than other kids. She’s been trained to dance and act provocatively, despite not being old enough to understand it at all. Now she even has her own show. Her arrogant, ignorant parents are probably so proud. All the cash they sunk into their little moneymaker is starting to pay off.
