Tim McGraw Giving More Homes to U.S. Soldiers This Summer

Saturday, 5:00 AM

Big Machine Label GroupTim McGraw is honoring U.S. service men and women in a big way on every stop of his Two Lanes of Freedom tour this summer.  As he did last year, Tim has teamed up with Chase and Operation HomeFront to give away 31 mortgage-free homes to U.S. military personnel.

Says Tim, "I couldn't think of a better program to be involved in.  I couldn’t think of anything better to do than to give those guys a home, a mortgage-free home for the rest of their lives."

Taylor Swift Trespasser Pleads No Contest

Friday, 5:00 PM

Credit: Sarah BarlowWhile it's not clear exactly why he was on Taylor Swift's property, a man arrested for trespassing near her Rhode Island mansion has pleaded "no contest" in court Friday.

Twenty-two-year-old Lucas Vorsteveld was arrested May 15 at 2:15 in the morning after he swam to a private road near the mansion, which Taylor recently purchased for over 17 million bucks, reportedly in cash.  He pleaded "no contest" to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing. The judge said the charge would be dismissed if he stays out of trouble, and steers clear of the property, which doesn't actually belong to Taylor.

Outside the court, Vorsteveld had no reply when asked by reporters if he owed Taylor an apology. 

Taylor was probably not at the house during the incident, considering she's currently on tour -- she performed May 12 in Washington and May 16 in Houston, Texas.

More big names will be announced soon. The concert will be broadcast live on NBC that night at 9 p.m. ET.  E!, Bravo and CMT will also air the special either live or on a delayed basis.

Blake grew up in Ada, OK, not far from where the devastating tornado struck Monday, May 20, and he currently lives in Tishomingo, OK.

"Everyone has their way to help, and mine as an entertainer is to perform to help raise money and awareness for this tragedy," Blake says.  "This is why I want to do this special and especially hold it in Oklahoma City, which is near ground zero."

Proceeds from the telethon will go to the United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund. Tickets to the event go on sale Saturday morning through Ticketmaster.
