Usher and Shakira to join 'The Voice'

NBC says Usher and Shakira are joining "The Voice" as new coaches next spring, when Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green take a break from the show, The Associated Press reports. Coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will remain, the network said. The series began airing its third season last week. NBC says Aguilera is going on the road to support her new album, while Green is developing new music and a sitcom based on his life. "The Voice" started as a midseason show and then added a fall cycle after posting solid ratings for NBC.
