"Blake Shelton lives six months of the year in Los Angeles, but he&amp;apos;s still a country boy through and through. In the August cover story for Men&amp;apos;s Journal, the Oklahoma native shows that despite his breakout turn as a charismatic judge on The Voice and his famous bromance with tattooed rock star and fellow judge Adam Levine, he&amp;apos;s still just a simple dude who loves his Chevy.\r\n\r\nHe hasn&amp;apos;t allowed Hollywood to change him, but he may be changing others. Levine, who has a genuine rapport with Shelton on and off the camera and was interviewed for the profile, recalled his visit to Shelton&amp;apos;s 1,200-acre ranch in Oklahoma: &amp;quot;I was on my way to this fancy chi-chi island vacation,&amp;quot; the Maroon 5 frontman says. &amp;quot;And afterwards, I realized I had so much more fun playing beer pong and driving quads with Blake than I did at this five-star resort.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn the article, Shelton cops to trying to influence his friend -- and not always for the better. &amp;quot;I get frustrated with Adam because, to me, rock stars are supposed to be drunk all the time. But he&amp;apos;s very healthy. He takes care of himself. And it drives me crazy, because I want him to be more like me. Drunk all the time,&amp;quot; says the 37-year-old singer, who&amp;apos;s been known to spike his own cup of Starbucks with vodka on-camera.\r\nOne of his few concessions to clean, L.A.-style living? He drinks a cold-pressed green juice once a day (&amp;quot;Mostly so he can make jokes about his bowel movements,&amp;quot; says the writer). He&amp;apos;s also replaced his go-to drink, vodka and diet Cherry 7&amp;#x2013;Up, with vodka, club soda, and a few drops of stevia, an artificial sweetener, because his wife, Miranda Lambert, &amp;quot;says its healthier,&amp;quot; he shares.\r\n\r\nAs it turns out, it may be Lambert who&amp;apos;s the only one who holds sway over him. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t give her too much s--t,&amp;quot; he says of his love, who he reveals has a dog named Sasha Fierce (&amp;quot;She worships Beyonce&amp;quot;). &amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s like poking a bear.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
