It has been almost 10 years since the world was shocked to find out that 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant. She was America’s little darling starring in her own Nickelodeon show, but the news put an end to it all.
Now she is a recently married mom, in her mid-20’s, ready to get her career back on track. She wants to make a name for herself and not just as Britney Spears’ little sister.
One of the best ways to do that in this day and age is to do a docudrama. On June 26th, TLC is going to give her one hour special called Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out and she will get to tell her side of the story. We will find out what has been going on in her life since she became a mom to Maddie. There has been ups and downs and the special will focus on one of those ups. She was asked to perform at the Grand Ole Opry and we will get to see that performance and all that goes into it.
This should be an interesting special focusing on someone who grew up in front of us and then on her own.

On March 18th, Grandpa John Schnabel passed away at the age of 96 and tonight at 9p Gold Rush is going to honor him with a special tribute episode on Discovery. His grandson Parker will share with us how special his grandfather was not only to him, but to everyone who knew him. That includes us the audience. So tune in for a special that is worth its weight in gold.
You know how they say, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Well, thanks to Discovery Life’s Sin City ER, that isn’t always a the case.
Tonight at 10p, a man meets a woman at a hotel bar and invites her up to his room to give him a massage. While she is rubbing her hands all over his body, she tells him to remove his $35,000 Rolex watch. He puts it on the floor below him, so he can keep an eye on it. But he gets distracted and the watch goes missing. He accuses of her taking it, but since she isn’t dressed there is nowhere to hide it. Right?
After being questioned by hotel security, she finally admits that she stole it and hid up her vajayjay. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now she is in excruciating pain and the police need to retrieve the evidence.
How will they get it back? You will just have to tune in to find out. That and to hear more one liners like, “The benefit, however you want to look at it, to a vagina, is that it’s basically a pouch. If it is small enough and the vagina is big enough, you know. Put up there whatever choose.” He is man, so he might think that sounds like a good idea to him. But as a woman, I say we don’t want to stick whatever fits up there. Although, that is me, and Las Vegas police say they have seen this body part used to hide stuff before. So not every woman has the same stand point on that matter as I do. Now, I want to know what else women have hid up their secret compartment. Or maybe not.
While, we might not get that answer, we will learn about a lot of other interesting things that don’t always stay in Vegas. They don’t call it Sin City for nothing.
Mythbusters is ending its long run this weekend, but Adam Savage brought it back to the beginning on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Back when the show started out, they tested out what would happen if you dropped a penny from the Empire State Building to see if would kill someone on the street.
They did this by shooting a penny at Savage’s butt with a special powerful gun. That was then, this is now. Savage wanted to do that experiment again and he did it on the CBS late night show yesterday. He gave Colbert the gun, pulled down pants and let him shoot him in the a$$. With glee the host did it, and Savage felt the pain.
He didn’t die, but I am sure when he goes to sit down, he will probably wish he did.
Tonight at 8p on Freeform, Recovery Road picks up where it left off last week. Trish (Kyla Pratt) is in tears because her mother took her daughter and she doesn’t know where they went. Trish called the police and now they are asking her questions to assist with the search. She is inconsolable until Maddie (Jessica Sula) comes up with a solution. Now Trish is opening up to the police officers, but there is something very important she is leaving out. Something so shocking, you will be speechless. So much so, you will not want to wait a week to find out what happens next.
BTW that isn’t the only shocking moment in tonight’s episode that turns out to be a major game changer. So don’t miss a single second of it.

Also at 8p, but on the Smithsonian Channel the new series Major League Legends takes the bat. Each week, they will feature episodes dedicated to baseball greats that everyone knows.

Also debuting tonight, but at 10p on Discovery is Rockin’ Roadsters. When you think of ZZ Top, you think of their music, their beards and their cars. This show is about the latter.

You will be surprised to find out what this Rocker’s desires are for it.
