"Until Miranda Lambert entered the picture, Blake Shelton wasn&amp;apos;t exactly the jocular yet empathetic star fans now know him to be.  In an exclusive interview, the multiplatinum-selling country crooner,  35, tells Us Weekly how his new bride helped him tame his once wild ways.\r\nPHOTOS: Blake and Miranda&amp;apos;s love story\r\n&amp;quot;I was a single male country singer raising hell, going out after concerts to bars and drinking and doing whatever I wanted,&amp;quot; The Voice mentor recalls. &amp;quot;And why the hell not? I wouldn&amp;apos;t take it back, either.&amp;quot;\r\nNow that he&amp;apos;s gotten everything out of his system, Shelton jokes:  &amp;quot;Man, I don&amp;apos;t know where in the hell I got the energy! I&amp;apos;m getting old  now, and my hair&amp;apos;s going gray.&amp;quot;\r\nVIDEO: How Miranda slimmed down for her wedding\r\nAll kidding aside, life is much different for the &amp;quot;Honey Bee&amp;quot; singer  these days. Shelton credits his wife of seven weeks, 27, with helping  him &amp;quot;grow into a normal, adult routine.&amp;quot;\r\nVIDEO: The Voice&amp;apos;s Vicci covers an Adele song for Us\r\n&amp;quot;I grew tried of going out drinking until 7 a.m. and then waking up  at noon and eating pizza,&amp;quot; Shelton tells Us. &amp;quot;Now if I want to go  drinking, I only want to sit at the house with Miranda watching Snapped on TV at home. It&amp;apos;s crazy because even if I&amp;apos;m just out on her bus while  she&amp;apos;s on the road or watching her do her shows, I&amp;apos;m 100 percent  comfortable because she is there. She really is that rock for me and the  center of all of this.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
