Usher has signed on to take the stage at Blake Shelton's "Healing in the Heartland" benefit concert tonight.   The telethon event -- which will air on NBC and other cable outlets -- will help raise money for the United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornados Relief Fund.

Cable networks Style, G4, Bravo, E! and CMT will also air the event.
