More Jenelle Evans arrest information released by police

ByAsa Hawks

As we reported last night, Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans was arrested Saturday and booked for breach of peace after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend, and father of her unborn child, Nathan Griffith outside of their North Myrtle Beach home.

ByAsa Hawks

It appears that the headline-grabbing barbeque-themed backdoor pilot episode of Best Funeral Ever was successful enough to merit the return of TLC cameras to the Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, Texas to bring viewers more over-the-top themed funeral services as part of a seven-episode run of Best Funeral Ever.

Is TLC’s Breaking the Faith fake or real?

ByAsa Hawks

TLC drew a lot of criticism for its Breaking Amish reality series after it was later revealed that all of the cat member had left their respective Amish and Mennonite communities long before taping began. As you might expect, when TLC announced they would be airing a similar series based on former members of the controversial Warren Jeffs led FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) titled Breaking the Faith (premiering tonight at 10/9c), many were skeptical just how truthful the series would be. Judging from evidence gathered so far, it appears TLC is sticking to their tried and relatively untrue formula by casting actual former FLDS members, but then having them act out a scripted narrative.
