- Fresh off his Broadway run in Chicago, Usher will be kicking his feet up in one of those swivel pods on the third season of The Voice. He and Shakira will be taking over for Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green, who are vacating their judges’ chairs on NBC’s hit music contest.

The Week in DVR: Start Watching The West Wing From the Beginning! Plus, Matthew Goode Is Great in Brideshead Revisited and Liv Tyler Sure Loves Italy
