LISTEN Jamie Lynn Spears releases country song ‘How Could I Want More’

Or at least that’s what we must assume after hearing the debut single “How Could I Want More” released earlier today — a wonderfully understated ballad about overcoming the insecurity and irrationality of the human heart, which often wants more than plenty, especially when it comes to love. Keep reading to give it a listen and sing along with the lyrics!

Is TLC’s Breaking the Faith fake or real?

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.
