How did country music star Blake Shelton react to being named the sexiest man on the planet? Plenty of jokes.
"Y'all must be running out of people ... Like, wow, we're down to somebody who is somewhat symmetrical," he told People in the magazine's cover story for the special issue
He added, "I've been ugly my whole life, if I can be sexy for a year, I'm taking it. I'm taking it."
He was also quick to relish in his new title on Twitter.
Despite how much he seems to be enjoying the announcement, Shelton said it took some convincing from girlfriend Gwen Stefani before he accepted.
"She goes, 'Listen to me, you're going to regret this for the rest of your life if you don't take this gift and just live in the moment,'" he recalled.
"I already had scored but now I really scored," said Stefani, who has been dating Shelton for two years.
There was another bonus to accepting the title, Shelton added: being able to lord it over the head of his fellow judge on The Voice, Adam Levine.
"As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that's really the only thing I care about," he said.
Shelton, whose album "Texoma Shore" is currently topping the Billboard country charts, said that while he has the title, he may as well enjoy it.
"I'm not going to treat this like Hugh Jackman or one of those guys who's humble about it. People are going to hate me over this. Because it's going to be used in every conversation," he said, "whether it's at 'The Voice' or at the feed store in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, or in a conversation with a doctor."
There is no, IMHO, Country Music being produced now days. It is unlistenable.
LOL
Thank God I dodged that bullet for one more year. ;)
I approve.
He does sound down to earth doesn’t he? :-) he’s by far the funniest one on the voice. Everyone else seems pretty stuck on themselves. Well, the women they picked anyway.
Cute!
“Tractor Rap ain’t Country”
I’m a big fan of “Classic Country”. Every time I tune in to a local “Country” station, I swear I hear “Rap”. I guess it was not my imagination. I suppose soon we will see “Country Stars” kneeling for the National Anthem.....
Good list - I’d add Mo Green
The guy who got shot in the eye in the Godfather movie?
Check out The Cadillac Three
I’m just glad they didn’t pick Tim McGraw
Lol, was just watching Goodfellas tonight. Look up Mo, he’s a talented kid
Miranda seems a better fit for him but Stefani is gorgeous.
Forget his looks=== he’s just so FUNNY!!! You have to adore him for his sense of humor alone. Congrats to him!
I dread having Kelly Clarkson as a judge next season.
She is a total turnoff.
The story of his tattoo on his arm just KILLS ME, it’s so funny. And so Blake. He loves deer hunting. So he had the tattoo of deer tracks going around his forearm. Then ladies would come up to him and say, “Aw, I just love your cute little ladybug tattoos!”
So in order to butch up his “ladybugs,” he had them tattoo barbed wire around them. Ha Ha Ha!
Miranda is really fake. And she must be damn STUPID because her song lyrics are SO DUMB. He’s too smart for her.
