Does anyone know why Fairy Tail stopped at episode 175 and when will it resume?

I heard that Fairy Tail will be continuing:

1. sometime in November,2013.

2. 또는 maybe in March,2014.

Also I heard from different sources that Fairy Tail stopped because:

1. the 아니메 was catching up to the 망가 so they had to take a break from the anime

2. the voice actress for Lucy is in some sort of 스캔들 또는 something like that

3. some people think that maybe the ratings drop so the show was cut and the 망가 continued like what happened to Bleach (which I find very hard to believe)

If 당신 guys have any other reasons 또는 views to why it stopped 또는 will be continuing please state so thanks
