TLC has announced plans to join forces with The Real Housewives of Atlanta producers True Entertainment, to bring a first-ever look into the holy lives of the "First Ladies" of Atlanta's churches.

The new reality show with the working title "Preacher Wives" is set to focus on the "outspoken ladies who work to ensure that their churches run as smooth as Southern-churned butter."

Preacher Wives will be a move away from the non-traditional religious families currently featured on TLC reality TV, such as the polygamous Brown family on Sister Wives, and the impressively large Duggars family 19 Kids & Counting.

Although the Super Bowl used to conjure up notions of football and tailgate parties, this annual American pastime has morphed into an event that evokes expectations of controversy, sex, and more controversy. Advertisers continue to push the scandal envelope with risky commercials, but a recent study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire suggests that sex, in fact, does not sell.

The Super Bowl has gained a reputation for being controversial. Who can forget Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" of 2004, when during the halftime show performance fellow singer Justin Timberlake "accidentally" exposed Jackson's right breast?

Or the 2004 half-time performances by Kid Rock and rapper Nelly, whose suggestive forms of physical expression, such a crotch-grabbing, are anything but "PG rated?" more >>
