  2. Shelton To Organize Oklahoma Tornado Benefit

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">At the end of 'The Voice,' Blake Shelton revealed that he's working with NBC to organize a benefit concert for the victims of the deadly tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. The singer -- who calls the state home -- couldn't offer many details, but said it would be televised and happen soon. "We'll know more about it in the next 24 hours," Shelton told Billboard. "I'm hoping it will raise a lot of money. Obviously it will be televised and will happen really quickly." The 'Boys 'Round Here' singer grew up in Ada, Okla., 75 miles from Moore. He wouldn't name any other artists who've agreed to play, but his music industry connections should make it easy to assemble an A-list lineup. He's married to Miranda Lambert, managed by Reba McEntire's husband, is great friends with Kelly Clarkson and works with Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Shakira and Christina Aguilera on the show. None of those artists are as of yet thought to be participating, but Shelton did point to fellow 'The Voice' mentor Usher while saying, "I can call in some really big favors." Tuesday's episode of 'The Voice' opened in silence after a one-hour NBC special on the monstrous tornado that killed 24 people Monday afternoon. Shelton and Lambert performed an acoustic tribute to the victims as information on how to donate scrolled across the screen. They sang Lambert's 2012 hit 'Over You.'</span>

  3. Toby Keith Planning Benefit For Oklahoma Hometown

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Tornadoes are a part of life in Moore, Okla., something country star Toby Keith was reminded of when a deadly, devastating one leveled parts of his hometown on Monday. "It's happened so many times through my life, I've been in so many," Keith said in a phone interview. "During my life, probably on average every four or five years, you probably have one that's devastating. ... It affects you, somebody you know, every time." This time it affected his sister, Tonni. Keith flew out of the Moore area at about noon, and said the gathering clouds on the western horizon gave him a bad feeling. After he arrived in his Nashville recording studio, he watched the storm system on an iPad app. So when he saw the tornado rolling down Fourth Street through his old neighborhood and toward his sister's house, he picked up the phone to warn her. "She said, 'We're safe. We're south of it, but we can see it,'" Keith recalled. "She was at my mother's about a mile away. During recording breaks, Keith has fielded calls about putting together a benefit for tornado victims and said he's been in contact with the University of Oklahoma about possibly using the football stadium. "I know as soon as I start sending out some feelers that I'll get a lot of people in there," Keith said. "Hopefully, we can use music to heal some of the money problems right away."</span>
