Jo Frost talks ‘Family SOS with Jo Frost’ on TLC

As TV’s beloved Supernanny, Jo Frost spent seven seasons coming to the rescue of parents whose tots were creating havoc — but she says she did much of her bestcounseling when the cameras were off.

As its second season — called Breaking Amish: Brave New World — premieres Sunday night at 10/9 CT, the series takes on a more somber, documentary-style feel [...]

Breaking Amish Brave New World — we talk with Kate and Sabrina

Even before it hit the airwaves last fall, TLC’s reality shocker Breaking Amish stirred up a hotbed of controversy.

CGM interviews Megan Massacre of TLC’s NY Ink and America’s Worst Tattoos

Despite her ferocious adopted last name, TLC’s top tattoo maven Megan Massacre has the face (and hair color) of a rock ‘n’ roll Disney Princess and the sweetly lilting voice to match. But the star of the network’s back-to-back Thursday night hits America’s Worst Tattoos and NY Ink — born Megan Woznicki in Douglasville, PA — says she actually picked “Massacre” not in homage to her edgy profession, but long before, when she and some bowling buddies decided to mock the earnestness of heavy-metal obsessed MySpace scenesters. Taken with all forms of art since she was a toddler, Massacre, 27, [...]
