Country star Reba McEntire is the latest of a long list of celebs to portray KFC's legendary Colonel Sanders. The spunky singer made her debut as the first female Colonel yesterday in rollicking honky tonk advertisement. The ever-changing role of Sanders has largely gone to male comedians like Norm Macdonald and Jim Gaffigan, so it's no surprise that Reba's twangy induction is being met with media applause - but slightly more conflicted reactions on Twitter.

It makes sense Reba is the new spokesperson for KFC. Her voice is so southern my cholesterol goes up just hearing her talk.

me: seriously, Reba. Do something! I'll take ANYTHING you give me, just as long as you don't go quiet and disappear.

Reba: how about a sponsorship with CB? KFC?
me: Okay. Not that.
