Mama June's Daughter Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon Wants Brother-In-Law to Be Possible Sperm Donor

Here comes an eyebrow-raising confession from Mama June Shannon's family.

Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon—the second oldest daughter of the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum—has been looking within her own clan amid her journey to have a baby with partner Shyann McCant. In fact, she's even considering her younger sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird's husband, Josh Efird, to serve as the couple's sperm donor.

"I don't think people understand how expensive it is," Jessica said of IVF treatments in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published June 12, "so you ask who you can."

While Lauryn, 24, believes that there will be "a lot that ties into it" mentally and emotionally if her husband—with whom she shares kids Ella, 6; Bentley, 2½; and twins Sylus and Stella, 2—were to donate his sperm to her sister, she does agree with Jessica, 27, that there is a financial advantage in keeping it close to home.

She noted, "100 percent, you do ask who you can."

As for Mama June? The matriarch admitted that the unconventional approach "threw me for a loop."

"That was my reaction when I was told," she said. "I was gonna leave it at that." (The 44-year-old is also mom to daughters Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, who died in December at age 29, and Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, 18.) 

 

However, June may have to get used to the idea soon, as Lauryn pointed out, Jessica's girlfriend Shyann is "still bugging her" about having a baby together.

She added, "Shyann wants a ring too."

Jessica has been dating Shyann, 21, since 2022. Last year, she penned a heartfelt tribute celebrating their first anniversary.

"I'm so glad I never stopped chasin you cause I wouldn't be as happy as I am now," she wrote in a July 2023 Instagram post, sharing a video montage of their time together. "I couldn't ask for someone better to spend this life with but with you boo."

She continued, "I can't wait to see where this year takes us and can't wait to make more memories with you! Happy 1 year anniversary baby!! I love you more than you'll ever know baby girl."

"What kind of weirdo washes their feet…." Jason tweeted June 1 after a fan noted the athlete "looks like he doesn't wash his legs or feet."

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

"What kind of psychopath washes your feet?" he  deadpanned on the June 5 episode of his and brother Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, adding, "If there's visible dirt on them, I'll scrub the dirt off."

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian got candid about how her grandma Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell influenced one intimate moment between her and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, during an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians.

"Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace, just talking for hours," the SKIMS founder recounted to MJ, mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian. "And I was like, 'My grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace. And so, we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you."

Grandma's reaction? A nod of approval.

"How creepy to think about your grandma before you have sex?" Kim said, to which MJ replied, "I know, but I was younger once."

The love shared in Mila Kunis and husband Ashton Kutcher's tight-knit family—which includes 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri—knows no boundaries.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

"That includes the bathroom," she told E! News in September 2022. "It's just one of those where, for better or for worse, as a family and the kids have all kind of embodied bodily function as a very standard norm."

Mila said she arrived at the decision after her family kept knocking on the door and asking to come in, which prompted her to oblige: "I was like, ‘Oh, forget it. Just keep the door open.'"

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she'd flush that particular boundary away.

She added, "I'd never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open."

Ghouls just want to have fun.

As The View panelists were reviewing footage about a woman who alleged she had "sexual ghosts" in her home, Sara Haines asked the group an important question during an October 2022 episode: "If you have sex with a ghost, can you get pregnant?"

Fortunately for her, co-host Joy Behar had an answer, adding, "I've had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant."

"I'm just gonna let that ride," Whoopi Goldberg said in response. "I don't know how many of you just heard what Joy just said, but I'm going to let it ride."

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotab are a thick as thieves, though there is one thing Hoda didn't know about her Today co-host. When the pair were getting ready for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda discovered Jenna perpetually goes commando.

"We both had to change before the show and we were like, 'Oh we have to go back into the changing room,'" Hoda said during a November 2022 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna. "But then I noticed, Jenna never wears underwear."

Jenna's rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

"I think it makes a more pretty silhouette," she said. "I also think you don't have to pack as much. There are a lot of pros to it!"

Looks like someone hasn't been keeping up.

Britney Spears found herself embracing Keke Palmer's viral saying "he could be walking down the street, I wouldn't know a thing," when she admitted she didn't know who Pete Davidson and Scott Disick were.

Reposting a humorous March video of Pete—who was then dating Kim Kardashian—and Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott enjoying a "boyz night," to her Instagram, Britney said the two of them had her cracking up.

"Sorry had to repost this," Britney wrote in the since-deleted post. "no idea who these people in the video are but it made me laugh so hard !!!!"

Back before the world knew Chris Evans as Captain America and People's Sexiest Man Alive of 2022, Jana Kramer knew him as the "heartthrob, cutie" she went on a few dates with.

It happened more than a decade ago, the singer revealed on her Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast in November, and though she can't remember "how many dates it was," she does recall their last encounter.

Jana, then about 26 years old, said Chris invited her over to his house while he had friends in town from Boston.

"The last interaction that I remember is him going into the bathroom after I just went with asparagus pee," Jana remembered, referencing the veggie's tendency to give urine a very distinct scent. "We didn't hook up that night. He stayed up late with his friends and then [in] the morning I did the asparagus walk of shame out of his house."

She added, "I never heard from him again."

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

Eight years after sharing in an ELLE article that she had been battling a rare type of bone cancer—her fake diagnosis even inspiring a storyline on Grey's Anatomy—show writer Elisabeth Finch admitted in December it was all a ruse.

"I told a lie when I was 34 years old and it was the biggest mistake of my life. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger and got buried deeper and deeper inside me," Elisabeth told The Ankler newsletter Dec. 7, adding, "I've never had any form of cancer."

Summed up Finch, who was placed on administrative leave from the ABC medical drama before eventually resigning, said, "What I did was wrong. Not okay. F--ked up. All the words."

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

Telling The New York Times the lengths she would go to for a more youthful appearance, the reality star cracked that she was willing to try just about anything.

"If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might," she said in June. "I just might."

In a July 2022 interview with Allure, Kim said she was "kind of joking" about the comment, though the idea didn't seem too terrible.

"But now that I think about it," Kim added, "I would probably eat s--t if someone told me, ‘If you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you'll look younger.'"

How much could she make room for? "Maybe just a bite," she told the outlet. "I don't think I can do a whole bowl."
