Laura Kariuki stars in "The Wonder Years" This week's Best bets By Michelle Rose TV Media More than country: Season 23's mega mentor, country star Reba McEntire ("The Greatest Man I Never Knew"), is extend- ing her stay on "The Voice." The singer, who served as Battle Advisor to Team Blake in 2011, has been tapped as the new judge for Season 24 of NBC's hit singing competition show. She confirmed it on Instagram, telling fans, "There's a new Coach in town. See you all this Fall!" Once the show returns in the fall, expect to find the country music icon to be seated in Blake Shelton's recently vacated red chair — although she's already gotten a feel for it, having slipped into the swiveling chair to tease Shelton during the live semifinals. For the show's first Shelton- less season, McEntire will be joined by returning coaches John Legend, Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan. Season 24 will be Stefani's seventh out- ing as a coach, while Horan made his debut this past sea- son. Legend has served as a coach since Season 16, with a brief break for Season 23. In an interview with NBC Insider, McEntire was asked whether she had received any coaching advice from the depart- ing coach. She jokingly answered, "You know what he told me? Lose my number. It's what he told me. He said, 'Just lose it. Don't call me, I'll call you. I will watch and if you need help, ask John [Legend].'" She went on to reassure fans that, like her predecessor, her musical expertise isn't limited to the country music genre. "I got to admit something," McEntire said. "I don't like categories, and I don't like to be corralled and fenced in. So I'm going to go with the talent, with the song and how they sing in the song. I'll know it from my gut feeling whether I want to turn the chair or not. Absolutely."
