People Country magazine has named Blake Shelton"Country's Hottest Guy" in the new issue, which goes on sale today. Blake said, "I think it's funny, because there is nothing about me, if I was a girl, that I would think is sexy." Blake's wife, Miranda Lambert, begs to differ, saying, "When you see him, he's obviously very tall and striking, but the minute he opens his mouth and starts talking to you, he makes you smile. That's what made me think, 'Oh my gosh, this guy is awesome.'" Other "hot" singers included in the issue are Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban
