John Legend was a sight in a pink suit to kick off the live shows for “The Voice.”
“Extra’s” Katie Krause spoke with John on the carpet revealing who he think should take Blake Shelton’s chair after he bids farewell next season.
Blake has been a coach since the show premiered in 2011. John said, “He’s our veteran. He is our OG.”
So who should take over his big red chair? “I think it should be someone in country,” Legend said. “We have never had another country coach before, it has always been Blake… I could see Carrie [Underwood] doing it… She could be good. Just an idea, Carrie. We’ll see, we’ll see.”
John and wife Chrissy Teigen are adding to their team at home as they welcome another baby after the tragic loss of their son Jack two years ago. John said they are prepared. “Oh, we’re ready. I feel like it’s old hat for us now. And plus, my brother just had a kid. We’ve been around infants lately. I think we’re all good.”
And he is there for all of Chrissy’s cravings. The musician said, “Pregnancy makes you want to eat. And I’m there as much as possible to make a sandwich, microwave something, make pancakes, whatever I need to do.”
As for his team on “The Voice,” he shared, “I just try to make sure each of our artists, who are truly amazing… I just try to put them in the best light, pick the right songs and make sure they do all the little things that make the performance special.”
“The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Blake Shelton is getting ready to say goodbye to “The Voice,” and his wife Gwen Stefani is opening up about why next season will be his last.
Gwen, who is coaching alongside her husband this season, told “Extra’s” Katie Krause that the country singer is ready for a break.
Stefani said, “I think he just wants more time. I don’t know if people realize if he’s doing two seasons a year, in between that he’s touring. So he actually has two teams at the same time at a certain point, they overlap. It’s a lot of brain power. It’s a lot of time away from the family. Those kinds of things, he just got to a point, he just wants time at his ranch time to do the other things he loves to do.
Smiling she said, “I’m totally speaking for you Blake, I’m sorry… I’m married to you so I can say whatever I want.”
The No Doubt singer continued, “I’m so excited for him, because we have lives outside of work and it’s a really good life and it’s really fun… We have Oklahoma which is something I never knew I needed and wanted; we plant a garden… We are looking forward to doing some of that family stuff.”
As for leaving the show, Gwen said, “I feel sorry for everyone, honestly, he is so talented, he is so funny, he is so great on the show, I’m sorry guys, it wasn’t my decision, totally him, I’m excited to see what comes next, because I bet there is somethings out there that we don’t even know about.”
Will she come back as a coach without her husband? “I have no idea,” Stefani said. “Every season I have been on the show, it has been a last minute… Yes, ask me back, I will come back, it would be really weird without Blake.”
For now, she is focused on the live shows, “I am so excited… My team is just, there are so many talented people here, there always is, but there was something about this season that was really relaxed. I came back and thought I was going to be really nervous being married to Blake… As soon as I walked on to set I was like, ‘I am back,’ it just felt normal again… I don’t know if it’s the combination of coaches, having my little daughter Camila [Cabello] here, knowing John [Legend] so much more and me and Blake being married, I don’t know.”
Sharing her strategy for the season, the star said, “My strategy was to not have a strategy, my strategy was like really listen with my heart.”
Gushing over working with Camila, Katie asked if they could collab? “We got to do her song ‘Havana’ together and that was really fun, I love her voice so much.
Saying Camila amazes her, “To come on and sit in that chair, I just thought she did such a great job… I was her age when ‘Just a Girl’ came out… It’s fascinating to me to get to know her.”
“The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.

The former Disney Channel princess just toasted friend Britney Spears at her wedding to Sam Asghari, turns 30 this summer, and is dropping Season 2 of her Hulu show “Only Murders in the Building.”
“Extra’s” Katie Krause caught up with Selena to get the scoop.
Selena, who was joined by her “Only Murders” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, said of Brit’s wedding, “It was wonderful,” while Short quipped, “I didn’t get invited to Britney’s wedding.”
Katie went on to ask about Selena’s 30th, “What are you looking forward to most in the next decade of life, and how do you plan to celebrate?”
The actress replied, “I have no idea what to expect. Getting older is weird, but I love it. And I’m finding out new things about myself. It’s honestly… I enjoy getting older. Here’s to 30.”
Switching gears to talk about “Only Murders,” Martin called working on the show “a dream,” while Selena added, “I’m so astonished and really grateful, so happy.”
The show, a murder-mystery about a trio of amateur investigators trying to solve a crime, is getting big awards buzz. Katie asked, “What would an Emmy nomination mean to you guys?”
Selena said, “I don’t know. I’ve never been nominated for those kinds of awards.” Steve recalled, “I won an Emmy in 1968 for writing on ‘The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.’ It was a posthumous award because the show had been canceled.”
Katie asked, “So you’re saying it’s time?” and Steve said with a laugh, “Every 50 years, it is good to get an Emmy.”
Martin then turned to Steve and asked, “How many Emmys do you have?” Steve told him, “I want to say five… but I have one.”
“Only Murders in the Building” Season 2 drops on Hulu today.

James Corden is back in London!
“Extra’s” Mark Wright sat down with the “Late Late Show” host for his first interview about stepping down after an eight-year Emmy-winning run.
James opened up about the reasoning behind his decision to leave his hit show next spring. “It was just a feeling of we’ve probably done all we wanted to do,” he revealed.
“It’s all I ever wanted it to be. I just didn’t want to ever get to a point where I was bored doing it,” James stressed. “By the time we finish, I’ll have done pretty much like 1,400 episodes. That’s a lot. I know that in America, these jobs are positions that people take for 10, 15, 20, 25 years. It was never ever going to be that for me.”
Before making the big decision, James took his wife and family into consideration. He said, “My kids are getting older, their grandparents are getting older, and it perhaps just felt like the right time for us as a family to be freer in our decisions.”
James felt “great” bringing the show back to London. He noted, “It’s been a couple of years since we’ve brought the show here. With COVID and the pandemic, we couldn’t really travel as a team, so we didn’t know if we’d get to do this again, so it’s amazing.”
He also teased what to expect from the U.K. shows, including A-list guests like President Joe Biden, Ed Sheeran, Vin Diesel, and Billie Eilish.
When asked how he got an interview with President Biden, Corden joked, “He slid into my DMs.”
James got to chat with President Biden for “45 minutes in the Oval Office” and “spent the whole day at the White House.”
Corden described Biden as being “full of empathy and compassion in every way.”
Catch “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in London all week on CBS.

NeNe Leakes is back on TV
NeNe Leakes is back on TV after leaving “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
“Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay spoke with NeNe on the set of her BET+ reality series “College Hill: Celebrity Edition,” where she opened up on love after her husband Gregg lost his battle with cancer.
NeNe is now dating Nyonisela Sioh, but a lot of her happiness is from within. She said, “I can’t say he hasn’t helped me put a smile on my face… You have to be willing to be happy and you have to make a lot of changes within yourself.”
Nyonisela also makes an appearance on the show!
In “College Hill: Celebrity Edition,” celebrities like NeNe, Big Freedia, Slim Thug, Ray J, Stacey Dash, DreamDoll, India Love, and Lamar Odom live together and join the historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) as Texas Southern University students.
She explained, “The one thing I was interested in, I went to an HBCU, I love Houston, so I said, ‘Let’s go back and really see what’s happening.’ I wasn’t super excited about moving into a house with a bunch of celebrities because I never lived with celebrities before, and I know celebrities are divas.”
As for what was more challenging — living in the home with everyone or going back to school — she answered, “Definitely going back to school… We are sitting in class with young college students, so they know everything. We don’t know anything.”
While she has left the “Housewives” franchise, NeNe is still in touch with some of the ladies. She dished, “I own a restaurant lounge in Atlanta. Drew [Sidora] doesn’t live far — she is always in there… Marlo [Hampton], I still communicate with her time to time.”
“College Hill: Celebrity Edition” is streaming now on BET+.

P!nk and her husband Carey Hart made it a date night at the premiere of her new Amazon Prime documentary “All I Know So Far.”
“Extra’s” Rachel Lindsay spoke with P!nk and Carey, who opened up about her battle with COVID, their marriage, and the doc.
P!nk shared, “It’s been a really scary year for everybody, but I didn’t lose my job and I didn’t lose my home, so I feel blessed. I feel like one of the lucky ones. I got COVID. My son and I were really sick, but we pushed through it and got through it and thank God, we’re fine now.”
P!nk and Carey have been married for 15 years, going through their ups and downs, but are now stronger than ever! As for how they’ve stuck together, P!nk said, “For us, the answer is… there’s no quit button. Unless we find one. Right now, we don’t have one. But it’s also couples counseling. Learning how to speak the same language. ‘Cause we don’t speak the same language.”
“We love being a family. And we both come from families that gave up, and that’s okay,” P!nk went on. “That was their journey, that was the journey we all were supposed to be on. But for us, we don’t want to do that.”
Pink gave the world a behind-the-scenes look at her life and Beautiful tour in the documentary. Carey pointed out, “I think it’s important for people, fans of hers, to see how hard she works and what it takes to do what she does with the family, with the responsibilities and make it happen for 150 shows a tour, whatever the madness is — I think it’s empowering.”
What does P!nk want her fans to take away? She answered, “There’s not a lot of women headlining stadiums…There’s a lot of working moms, and I’m just one of them. It just happens to be my job is Wembley Stadium and wherever else we are in the world, and I’ve worked my butt off to get here.”
P!nk said she couldn’t do any of it without Carey! She gushed, “A lot of people get Carey wrong when they think this is moto-dude, hypermasculine and tattoos. He’s just the most sensitive, supportive guy in the world. He never says no. Any dream I’ve ever had, ‘Yes, I’m with you. Whatever you want to do.’ It takes swallowing egos sometimes. It’s beautiful because it allows us to have this crazy, magical adventure and the kids, he gets to be with the kids when I’m onstage and I get jealous sometimes,”
She smiled, adding, “But they love me more, so it’s okay.”
