Blake Shelton on 'Malibu Country' on Friday night
Friday is the night when Oklahoma's Blake Shelton makes his guest-starring appearance on Reba McEntire's ABC situation comedy.
Country music star Shelton, who lives on a ranch near Tishomingo with his wife, Miranda Lambert, plays brother to Chockie native Reba on "Malibu Country," airing at 7:31 p.m. Friday on ABC, channel 8.
In the episode, country music star Shelton plays wayward brother Blake who pays a surprise visit to his sister and comes up with a plan to make Lillie Mae's BBQ sauce into a profitable business. But his reputation as a guy who drops in, tries to make a fast buck without doing the work and then leaves makes his sister fearful he will let their mother down.
And, perhaps worst of all, when Reba lets slip that her son Cash is a virgin, Uncle Blake gives him some questionable advice that Cash, unfortunately, takes to heart.
Lily Tomlin stars as Lillie Mae, and Justice Prentice stars as Cash in the series.
Michael Jackson's son to debut on '90210'
Prince Michael Jackson will make his acting debut on the season finale of "90210" on CW.
The teenager will play a "trauma victim who bonds with Silver (Jessica Stroup) when he realizes how precious life is," according to hollywoodreporter.com.
Last week, Jackson, 16, son of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, made his debut as a correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight" interviewing actors James Franco, Sam Raimi and Zach Braff from the film "Oz, the Great and Powerful."
He told "ET's" Brooke Anderson last week that his goals extend beyond reporting.
"I'm looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor," Jackson said on the show.
No season finale date has been set yet for "90210" which airs at 8 p.m. Mondays on channel 19, cable 12.
