Surviving Reality

“The Cult of the Real Housewife” This week we attempt to untangle the turmoil surrounding The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, and her Faith Temple Pentecostal Church.

“Joy to the World” Lifestyle and holiday guru, Joy Edwards, built an entire Martha Stewart-esque book empire based on her picture-perfect family. There's only one minor problem - they don't exist. Now her publisher wants her to host a live event from her home on Christmas Eve featuring the fictious family, but not to worry - there are just enough people in her life to pull together a "We're The Millers" sort of solution to keep this charade alive.
