Blake Shelton stays busy with his music career, a bit of acting and a lot of career coaching on “The Voice.” He’s been on the series since the beginning, and his picks have won nine times and counting over the show’s 22 seasons. But despite his busy schedule, he returns to his Oklahoma roots time and time again for relaxation and philanthropy.
Though Shelton moved to Nashville after high school, he remains connected his home state with a 1,300 acre ranch near the town of Tishomingo. As an avid outdoorsman, it stands to reason that he’d support nonprofits with the same values.
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation launched about four years ago and Shelton was one of the first to come on board with his support. While the organization is part of the State Department with a mission to protect, preserve and conserve wildlife and natural spaces, they don...

The 13 children found malnourished and shackled in their Perris, California home were allegedly deprived of many things by their parents including regular meals, access to lavatories, and daily showers. But there’s one thing investigators have found they were given: journals to write their stories.
In an interview with ABC News, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said that “hundreds of journals” have been recovered from the children’s home — material he thinks will likely be able to document what was happening inside the “house of horrors” in real time.
“My guess is that’s going to be powerful evidence...

A man who years ago attended school with the California father accused of abusing his 13 children and holding them captive tells People he’s shocked to see news reports about someone he described as a “good, quiet person back then.”
Mike Gilbert attended Glenwood School and Princeton High School with David Turpin in Princeton, West Virginia, and last saw Turpin in 1979, he says.
Turpin, 57, and his 49-year-old wife, Louise, pleaded not guilty on Thursday to multiple charges after being accused of a litany of crimes against their kids — including keeping them prisoner inside their Perris, California, home, with some shackled to the furniture.
