Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has tried his hand at a number of things from drugs to VitaminWater. Now he tries TV, in a new series “Power” (Starz, 9 p.m.), starring Omari Hardwick as owner of a hot new Manhattan club called Truth, who hides the fact that he’s also one of the city’s most high powered drug dealers. Leli Loren and Naturi Naughton co-star in the series, which is co produced by Courtney Kemp Agboh of “The Good Wife.” I’m guessing Fiddy will pop up on screen too, since he was all over those VitiminWater ads.
On the weekend that her excellent political comedy “Veep” hits its third season finale, Julia Louis-Dreyfus also stars on HBO in one of the few Saturday night premieres that I actually want to see. The grown-up romance “Enough Said” (HGO, 8 p.m.) by Nicole Holofcener is also notable for being one of the last major roles for someone who was the network’s biggest star, James Gandolfini. Catherine Keener rounds out the cast.
A chance for the first Triple Crown winner in 36 years comes as California Chrome runs the 146th Belmont Stakes (NBC, 4:30 p.m.) in New York; the race itself is 6:52 p.m..

Sarah Lancaster just might becoming the new queen of made for cable TV movies. After starring last week on Up, tonight she’s “Looking for Mr. Right” (Hallmark, 9 p.m.), a romance that also features Vivica A. Fox (but not as the romantic prospect).
It’s not what you think: “Brazil Gone Wild” (Discovery, 7 p.m.) is not about the bikinied party crowd; it’s all about its giant otters, monkeys and coatis. They’re apparently not ready for the World Cup either.
You can’t believe the stuff they’re putting on ABC Saturday nights this summer. First it’s the toddler exploiting “Bet On Your Baby” (ABC, 8 p.m.) and then “Sing Your Face Off” (ABC, 9 p.m.) featuring the same cast — Sebastian Bach, Jon Lovitz, China Anne McClain and Lisa Rinna, dress up and perform as various stars, from Willie Nelson to Michael Jackson. They’re burning off two hours at a time of this turkey.
The two hour “D-Day in HD” (Discovery, 9 p.m.) concludes with its second half.

Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, Seth MacFarlane and Coldplay are on a new “Graham Norton Show” (BBC America, 10 p.m.).
Because they’ve had such success with “My Cat From Hell” (Animal Planet, 8 p.m.), why not a show about annoying small canines? So here’s “My Tiny Terror” (Animal Planet, 8 p.m.), an assumed spinoff of “Bad Dog!” (Animal Planet, 10 p.m.).
When it comes to dockside action, nothing beats “On the Waterfront” (TCM, 8 p.m.). But there is also “Rumble on the Docks” (TCM, 10 p.m.), “The Mob” (TCM, 11:30 p.m.), “Waterfront” (TCM, 1 a.m.), capped by a couple of drug sagas from 1984, “Mixed Blood” (TCM, 2:15 a.m.) and “Alphabet City” (TCM, 4 a.m.).
Baseball today includes St. Louis at Toronto (MLB, 1 p.m.), Oakland at Baltimore (Fox, 7 p.m.) and Chicago at Los Angeles (MLB, 10 p.m.).
