In this series celebrities' exclusive firsthand accounts accompanied by cinematic reenactments illustrate the moments they were confronted with true danger. Featuring Ice-T, Jewel, Gary Busey, Brett Michaels and more, these true stories could easily have been tragic endings to phenomenal lives - except for one thing: every one of them lived to tell the tale. Celebrity Close Calls is produced by Jarrett Creative Group. *After its September 30 premiere night Celebrity Close Calls will air Tuesdays on Reelz at 10pm ET/ 7PT.

Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors -Thursday, October 2 at 11pm ET/ 8pm PT.

Jean-Claude Van Damme aka 'The Muscles from Brussels' is a massive box office star with roles in movies including Bloodsport, Universal Soldier and The Expendables 2. In Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors his private life is exposed for the first time as he allows cameras access behind the scenes at his home and when he's at work on set. Van Damme and his family reveal the man behind the movie legend who works and parties hard. We discover a sensitive but complex character who is strong enough to take on the world, but who also regrets his rock 'n' roll lifestyle and desperately misses his family when he is away filming. This is an intimate portrait of an international movie star as you've never seen him before. Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors will air Thursdays on Reelz at 11pm ET/ 8pm PT.

For bar owner Michael Ballard the profits are huge, but the reality is intense. From managing a full staff of bartenders and dancing girls to hosting big name concerts and burlesque shows, keeping it together is more than most people could handle.
