Eden Wood Visits 'The View', Performs 'Cutie Patootie' (VIDEO)

6-year-old retired beauty queen Eden Wood continued to make the media rounds on Monday, stopping by "The View" to talk about her Miley Cyrus-level aspirations and perform her hit single "Cutie Patootie."

Eden explained to Barbara Walters, "Well, I thought that we could just go and spend a little time and do my other things and like, um, doing my career...and probably being a superstar." She confessed, "The hardest part is hairspray."

Her mom Mickie was along for the ride, telling the crew, "I had her at 40 years old. We didn't think we were going to have any kids and she is the only child my husband and I have. And really and truly, her college is already paid for. There's money there. The sky's the limit. I want to do whatever makes Eden happy as long as she is a happy, well-behaved, educated little girl. The sky's the limit for her."

She dispelled any rumors of using products to whiten Eden's teeth, said she's never given her Red Bull and insisted that Eden spends most of her days "as a little girl in Southern Arkansas." 

Mickie added, "I say to each his own. Everybody has to do what they think is best for their particular situation, for their child, for their family. I don't impose my thoughts on a lot of other things that parents do with their children, and I think that I'm due the same respect."

if this bothers you, (doesn't bother me...people can do whatever they want) please take a good look at why this little girl is what she is. so many posters blame men whenever women (and girls) are subjected to beauty standards. but i don't see a single father grooming his daughter for beauty pagents, plucking eyebrows, waxing or injecting botox into 8 year olds. it's the mothers! and from what i see, women get far more pressure from other women than from men. ask any guy...it doesn't really matter whether your eyebrows are perfectly shaped or you painted on the fake mole.

I had to think, as I was watching Joy throughout both of the videos, that she wasn't in agreement with how the mother and little girl were living their lives.

I predict this kid will be addicted to crack by the age of 15, and a single mother at 16.

Child beauty contests like that should be called as the abuse they are and outlawed.

Am I the only person who find this profoundly disturbing .... I mean as adorable and innocent as she appears to be , there is no reason in the world,she should be singing about " Look at my booty" at that tender age of hers ...Guys, what happened to us as a society ???

I cannot fault the child; however, I fault the mother bigtime!

Don't blame the kid. It's all she's ever known.
Mom on the other hand... She needs some serious Shrinking.
OK , OK and a smack.

Wow this is so over the top! Hate to see little kids acting like adults. Her "older" mom should have mom sense! The child seems to not have much to say unless it is scripted.

Can someone please put "The View" out of its misery?

What's next? Rehab? A comeback even perhaps?

Take away her fake hair, fake eyeleashes, tan from a bottle, capped teeth, etc. etc., and she's just an ordinary kid her age. Let her be a kid. If the mother wants fame let her enter the Mrs. America contest.

well, you could say that about almost ANYONE in hollywood these days. Folks on the street have better looks than most actors/actresses without makeup.
