A Pandora's box not worth opening. (Twitter)

Poor Shirley Temple Black/person pretending to be Shirley Temple Black on Twitter (we believe nothing till an account is verified): The 84-year-old former pre-tween movie star was on Twitter less than one day before she was asked about cultural phenom Honey Boo Boo. The question, which came from Model Alliance's Coco Rocha, could be taken as an insult--why ask Shirley Temple about the TLC star unless you consider Ms. Temple's celebrity status to have been similar?--but luckily Ms. Temple was just confused. Confused enough to ask Twitter: "i have been asked what i think of 'honey boo', can someone tell me who that is." The resulting answers were, for lack of a better word, fantastic.

Here comes Honey Boo Boo! (Bluewater Productions)

There is probably not a human being on this earth who believes that Honey Boo Boo is being given a healthy amount of attention with her TV show and constant face-slapping, president-endorsing appearances on the late-night circuit. We know, deep in our bones, or hearts, or whatever, that the blonde pageant star has another 6½ minutes left--at most--on the Andy Warhol clock. But is it really necessary to make a whole comic book about her upcoming irrelevance?

Bluewater Productions, the graphic novel version of TMZ.com, which has brought you stories on politicians, princes and Kardashians, thinks so. But even it is having a hard time defending its position.

From the 15 Minutes: Honey Boo Boo website (where you can now pre-order the comic):

You better redneckomitize! Bluewater Productions continues it's examination of the under belly of FAME in the second installment of their new "15 Minutes" biography comics line that focuses on the stars of reality television. Alana Mitchell better known to the world at large as pint sized pageant queen "Honey Boo Boo. Join writer/artist Michael Troy as we uncover Honey Boo Boo's rise to FAME from her breakout appearance's on Toddlers and Tiara's to landing her very own reality series. Discover why self-named Honey Boo Boo has garnered the attention, if not the hearts from Anderson Cooper to The White House.

Okay, so it's a history of Honey Boo Boo and her rise to fame? Fine. We mean, how many pages could this subject possibly fill, even in illustrated form?

But already, Bluewater's publisher is defending his recent product as sort of a preemptive strike against anyone offended by the comic, which makes us think that besides putting a countdown timer next to her name, this book has other dirty tricks up its sleeve.

First, a message from the author:

“Andy Warhol's quote about 15 minutes of fame is one of my favorites, and as a pop culture junkie, I jumped at the chance to put my spin on spoon-fed America's latest reality obsession, Honey Boo Boo,” said writer/artist Michael Troy.

And then the head honcho:

“Clearly this one was meant to be fun for people and not to educate society,” said publisher Darren G. Davis. “There are some of these biographies we do for strictly the entertainment value.”

Ooooh. Okay? Thank you for the clarification that your comic book about Honey friggin' Boo Boo is not meant as some larger critique or thesis about our culture's celebrity obsession.

Honey Boo Boo and Nugget. (Facebook)

– Jon Hamm's girlfriend is not a fan of Jon Hamm's penis getting all the attention. Also, apparently Jon Hamm doesn't wear underwear? Very cool.

– The beef between Jonah Hill and CNN anchor Don Lemon is hysterical. Mr. Lemon was so miffed that the famous TV star didn't know who he was that he tweeted about it, then Jonah tweeted back, and then Lemon went and complained about it being treated "like the help" on Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien. How professional.

– I bet you've always wanted to know what Dana's love interest on Homeland did before he was the VP's kid. Well, apparently a lot of rapping.

– Lindsay Lohan is not going to do a planned interview with Barbara Walters because she doesn't want to talk about her car crash. Fine. It's not like there aren't a billion of other subjects to grill Lindsay Lohan on. It's called compromise, people!

– PETA is scared that Honey Boo Boo will eat her pet chicken, named Nugget. Maybe she can make it up to them by posing topless or something.

Honey Boo Boo hates Dr. Drew

- Two of the Jolie-Pitt kids, Pax and Zahara, have been bitten by the acting bug and will be starring in the Disney film, Maleficent. Which is really weird, since they are only 8 and 7, respectively. But look, if you want to catch up with Will Smith's brood, you have to start them early.

-It's really cool that Lindsay Lohan took time out of her busy schedule of spiraling past her bottom to live-tweet the presidential debates.

-Turns out that hypothetical of "Would you make out with a baby Ryan Gosling" has been answered. You definitely would.
