The Big Profile: Blake Shelton

For bona fide proof that Blake Shelton, the country music star and celebrity coach on "The Voice," is just a reg'lar guy, see his dog Delta, which he and his wife, Miranda Lambert, found at their local Sonic Drive-In. "It's just like a Chihuahua, but it had to have weighed 30 pounds," Shelton says. "Probably the worst thing that ever happened to it was Miranda adopted it, and then it gets fed normal food and doesn't get to eat a container of tater tots every five minutes."
