Blake Shelton Ready to Return to 'Wasted' Ways

Blake Shelton says since he didn't win Entertainer of the Year Sunday night at the ACM Awards, he's ready to return to some of his old habits.

"I'm longing for the days when I was out in the audience drinking my face off," the country star, who co-hosted the ACMs with Reba, said backstage.

Blake lost the top trophy to Taylor Swift. He admits disappointment, though -- pardon the cliché -- he was honored just to be nominated. Plus, he admits the 'Mean' singer was the hard-earned frontrunner.

"I hoped I would win, but Taylor deserves it. She truly does," Blake admitted, despite having teased the young star unmercifully during the awards show. "I don't think there's anybody with half a brain who would stand up here and say otherwise ... But I'm always going to make fun of her in my monologues, so she might as well get used to that."

Blake continued his tongue-in-cheek commentary on going back to his wilder days. "I'm trying to get fired (as co-host of the ACMs)," he joked. "I don't see how Reba does it year after year, because at some point you gotta be a wasteoid. That's what people expect of musicians, celebrities and stars. I'm ready to step back into that role of being wasted all the time."

It's a good thing Blake is joking about going back to his old habits. The teenager who came to Nashville at the urging of the late songwriter Mae Boren Axton with dreams of being a superstar has achieved that status and more. The new ACM Male Vocalist of the Year and judge on 'The Voice' is now a household name with multi-platinum sales and a sea of fans. Plus, Blake and Miranda Lambert are nearing their first wedding anniversary, and we have a feeling she won't let him completely return to his 'wasteoid' ways.

Blake is an a**. He is such a horny, chauvanistic hot dog on "The Voice" that I quit watching it. He chooses only the "pretty/provacative" singers over true talent and thanks them for dressing sleezy, "just for me." He keeps introducing Miranda as "my wife" to emphasize she is his property.

I follow Blake on Twitter. He talks a LOT about drinking and getting wasted and Miranda's favorite booze, etc. etc. I hope it's all a joke cause if he's consuming as much alcohol as he Tweets about he may have a problem.

I know I'm going to get pounded for this but its how I feel. How in the heck is Taylor Swift considered Country? All she does is write and sing songs about the guys that dump her. She is not a kid anymore and needs to grow up and quit hanging with the teeny boppers. If I were a guy I sure wouldn't date her unless your looking to have a song written about you. Blake don't leave your the only one with guts enough to make fun of her...laffin...I loved it. She doesn't fit into country she needs to stay with pop where she isn't much better..Can't stand to watch her she is so fake....

enough with Taylor swift, there are other talented country stars that are only country and deserve to be honored, most of her music now a days is pop.

No that was the moron in Montgomery Gentry. Blake just dumped his wife the second Miranda Lambert winked at him.

No that wasn't Blake Shelton. It was Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry. I agre that Blake deserved the award more than Taylor did. HE can sing!!

Don't even joke about leaving the ACM show. You and Reba are the show. Without you the show would be very dull. I know you are very busy,but are we going to hear new music soon?LOL
