Two Oklahoma music superstars are sticking together when it comes to TV.

Blake Shelton, who lives on a ranch near Tishomingo, will team up with Oklahoma native Reba McEntire in an upcoming episode of her ABC situation comedy, according to huffingtonpost.com.

On "Malibu Country," airing March 1 on channel 8, "The Voice" coach and award-winning country artist Shelton will play Reba's brother.

McEntire had told ETonline last October that she wanted Shelton to make a guest appearance on the show.

"I've already talked to Blake (Shelton) and Kelly (Clarkson), and they said ... that they would appear, so we just got to get the script right when we need 'em in here," she told the entertainment website then.

"It's got to be honest. Everything about this show's got to be honest."

In the series, McEntire plays country singer Reba Gallagher who's trying to restart her music career in California following a divorce.

Last season she appeared on "The Voice" as a coach for Team Blake, and the two friends have previously co-hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards. She was also a guest performer on "Blake Shelton's Not So Family Christmas" special, which aired in December on NBC.

There's also a sort of family connection between the two country music stars.

McEntire's stepson, Brandon Blackstock, who is engaged to "American Idol" winner Clarkson, is Shelton's day-to-day manager. No word yet if Clarkson will make an appearance on the show.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
