'Toddlers And Tiaras' Possibly Cancelled
It's a sad day for fans of the guiltiest pleasures of reality television: "Toddlers and Tiaras" is potentially being cancelled, according to reports from Radar Online. An insider notes that the reason for the ix-nay isn't quite clear, but that it does appear to be going off the air:
“After six series, the show has been officially taken out of production...Was it pressure from distractors? No-one is saying, at least, not yet. They aren’t using the word ‘cancelled,’ but I can tell you that the show is over.”
The show made a star out of one Honey Boo Boo, who famously stuck her head in a cupcake machine whilst visiting Los Angeles.
A representative from TLC, which airs the show, wouldn't confirm the cancellation. “Nothing has been decided at this time, we are just not currently casting at the moment," a spokesperson told the gossip site.
