If you had to pick one Oklahoma country music legend to get drunk and party with, there's a good chance that you'd go with Blake Shelton. Who wouldn't? He'd be one hell of a wingman, and based upon some of the darn tootin', good old boy stuff he says on Twitter and in his songs, the guy knows how to party. Plus, he's not a douche bag like Toby Keith or Garth Brooks.
Unfortunately, choosing to get hammered with Blake Shelton would be about as smart as cocktail tanning with Aaron Tuttle. In case you haven't heard, Blake's hard partying, heavy drinking, womanizing ways are apparently just a big ruse. In real life, he's apparently a bigger buzzkill than Vince Gill riding the Bricktown Water Taxi.
Via a Nolan Clay article on NewsOK.com:
In a statement for his libel lawsuit against a tabloid magazine, country music singer Blake Shelton said his comments about drinking on Twitter are jokes and part of his act.
“I do not drink excessively, binge drink or have a drinking problem,” he said in the sworn declaration March 16 from Tishomingo, where he has a farm.
The Oklahoma superstar in October sued In Touch over its cover story, “Rehab for Blake.” He is seeking $2 million in actual damages plus punitive damages from Bauer Publishing Co. and related companies involved with the weekly magazine. The lawsuit is pending in federal court in California.
So everything Blake sings and talk about is a lie? He doesn't drink excessively, binge drink or have a drinking problem? Yeah, I'm not sure I buy that. The man is a coach on The Voice. I don't see how people can even watch the show while sober, much less be involved in the production.
