Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert to Pay Tribute to Oklahoma Tornado Victims
It’s no secret that Blake Shelton takes pride in his Oklahoma roots, and with the recent tragic tornadoes that ripped through the state, it’s only fitting for the famous Okie to pay tribute.
According to Entertainment Weekly, on tonight’s episode of The Voice, Blake will be joined by Miranda Lambert to perform a duet that’s “close to their hearts.” The tribute will take place at the top of the show, which begins at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
Preview: Kelly Clarkson to Appear on CBS Sitcom “The Crazy Ones”
Kelly Clarkson: Pop star. Crossover country star. Reality shows mentor. Honorary McEntire. Sitcom star?
Although that last role may seem a bit far-fetched for the crossover country star, Clarkson will be adding yet another role to her already impressive resume. This fall, she will appear alongside of Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the pilot for a new CBS show, The Crazy Ones. Although she’s appeared on the small screen as a guest on Reba and a mentor on Duets, this may be Clarkson’s most risque role since grinding against Justin Guarini in From Justin to Kelly.
In the pilot, Clarkson plays a hilariously exaggerated and oversexed version of herself, while Williams and Gellar play a father-daughter advertising team. So you’ve got Mrs. Doubtfire, Buffy and the original American Idol in one place? We’ll be tuning in to CBS on Thursdays this fall at 9pm!

She will join Whoopie Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters, as longtime co-host Joy Behar transitions out of the show.
On joining the panel for the day, Gretchen said:
“I’m not sure if they knew what they were getting themselves into, when they booked me for the show. This will be completely different from what I do every day, but I’m really looking forward to hanging out with these strong women and maybe even stirring things up!”
Gretchen’s first album in three years, the 13-cut Right On Time, hit stores nationwide on Tuesday, April 2. Associated Press said of the new music, “…Wilson rocks as hard as she desires while choosing songs that represent her lifestyle and point of view – just as she always has…it continues the fiercely autobiographical stance that distances Wilson from most modern country artists in all the right ways.”
Following the taping, Gretchen will head to Foxborough, MA for a Friday performance at Toby Keith‘s I Love This Bar & Grill. For Gretchen Wilson news, tour dates, merchandise and her exclusive Club 27, visit GretchenWilson.com or facebook.com/GretchenWilson.
