Uncle Poodle ... I Almost Died And My Family Didn't Give A DAMN!!
Uncle Poodle is lucky to be alive after a New Year's Day health scare ... and no one cared.
Poodle tells TMZ he woke up with a dangerously elevated heart rate ... it felt like his heart was pounding out of his chest.
Docs put him under and used paddles to shock his heart back into rhythm.
The "Honey Boo Boo" clan never showed up ... not a single one of them. Poodle's bro, Sugar Bear, texted him a few times but otherwise it was radio silence. Not even a damn flower.
Poodle says he specifically texted Mama June but she clearly was not on his "get well soon" list.
Here's the bigger problem. Poodle was laid up in a hospital bed for a week, and the $150K bill is all his ... no health insurance.
A spinoff would come in handy right about now.

Chickadee I'm Gonna Pull a Honey Boo Boo With My Own Show
Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell wants to pick up where her little sis left off, because we've learned she's shopping her very own reality show.
Chickadee tells us she's hired an agent who's pitching a family-centric show, but not Mama June's family. Chickadee wants the show to revolve around her small brood -- her, her hubby and their kid.
They think they can create compelling TV around their day-to-day life, which includes hunting, fishing and figuring out how two 20-year-olds can survive in a cold, cruel world.
As for June ... Chickadee says her mama can make occasional appearances along with the rest of the family, but they won't steer the ship.
And Chickadee says Mark McDaniel -- the man who sexually assaulted her when he was June's boyfriend -- will be fair game.
No bites yet, but there have been worse ideas ...

Mama June Reunites With Chickadee But Not For Free
Mama June and Chickadee's feud over money and Mark McDaniel is over after they smoked the peace pipe this weekend -- a very expensive peace pipe.
June tells TMZ ... she and her daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell started squashing their beef once June forked over a check for $15,400 -- the remaining cash from Anna's trust fund.
Anna had accused June of swiping money from the account, but June says it was only dwindling because she was using it to pay Chickadee's expenses -- mobile phone bill, spending money, and rent (she has her own place).
June basically did Anna a solid by cashing out the trust fund -- which Anna couldn't touch yet because she's only 20.
As for McDaniel -- June's ex-bf convicted of molesting Chickadee -- June told her daughter and the whole family she hasn't seen him since September, and plans to keep it that way.
June tells us she knows they won't be able to completely patch things up overnight -- but says she video chats with Chickadee twice a day, and they've agreed to "move on." One positive sign -- Chickadee brought her daughter Kaitlyn to hang with June -- which she previously refused to do.

Mama June Forget Santa ... I'll Save Christmas!
Christmas in the town of McIntyre, GA was almost cancelled, but Mama June ponied up out of her own pocket to save it.
The Shannon family has hosted a toy drive for the last 5 years ... with great success. Sometimes 500 people a night would show up at their well-decorated home, where adults deposited toys and the kids would sit on Santa's -- AKA Sugar Bear's -- lap.
But the fallout from the collapse of the Honey Boo Boo empire has taken its toll ... only a few hundred people showed up so far, and it looked like some kids would get nothing next week.
So Mama June says she personally forked over $2,000 for toys and says she'll ante up more if need be. She tells us, "No matter if one or one hundred came out, I was going to make sure the kids here in the county will wake up to something at Christmas."
So she's been naughty and nice.

Mama June I'm Not Spreading for Vivid
Mama June will not copulate for cash on camera ... no matter how much money is thrown at her.
The "Honey Boo Boo" matriarch says she would never ever consider Vivid Entertainment's offer for June and Sugar Bear to do the dirty and possibly make north of $1 million.
June says, "I have more respect for myself and my kids and my family," adding, "It ain't happening, not even for a zillion dollars."
As for Sugar Bear ... times may be tough but he feels the same way. He says he would never entertain the idea, regardless of how much they throw at him.
And get this ... we're told Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch is blown away by the attention his offer has received. He's more interested than ever ... but he will probably have to look elsewhere ... just don't do the whole bagel thing with Danielle Staub, please.

Mama June may have bugs in her feet, but she's still sexy enough to pull a $1 million paycheck if she gets down in the mud with Sugar Bear in an epic, redneck sex tape.
Vivid Entertainment honcho Steve Hirsch has reached out to MJ and SB, offering them up to $1 MIL and maybe even more if they bang on camera for Vivid's BBW site. Hirsch says to June, "We believe you would fit into that category."
And Vivid will let June call the shots ... assuming Sugar Bear can perform multiples.
We tossed around some titles, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's Mom," "Slap the Thigh, Ride the Wave," "It Must Be Jelly 'Cause She Ate All the Jam" and our favorite, "What's Eating Mama June?" We want more suggestions, please.

Mama June Oops, Sorry for the Death Threats I Didn't Mean It
Georgia prosecutors clearly don't have a sense of humor -- they can't even tell the difference between a real death threat and a funny one ... so claims the guy who threatened to kill Mama June and Pumpkin.
Andrew Kurt Summers -- who now faces felony charges of making terroristic threats -- went on Facebook and threatened to shoot June and her daughter.
But Summers tells TMZ ... he was never serious. It was simply, as he puts it, "a joke, a dumb mistake."
Summers says he has no ill will toward the family. He says he was trolling her Facebook page because of the Mark McDaniel situation. As for what he specifically wrote ... he won't say because the case is going to trial. Nor would he explain how a threat to shoot someone is funny.
Summers was in proximity of the Honey Boo Boo clan. He lives just outside Atlanta, 2 hours from their home.
He's freaked out about the prospect of prison, saying he's a law abiding citizen with a clean record.
And clearly not that funny.
