Blake Shelton photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Nashville. No one doubted Blake Sheltons return to Chelsea Lately to chat with the always outrageous Chelsea Handler would be hilarious. The pair lived up to expectations Tuesday night, talking about everything from his upcoming Christmas album to fellow The Voice coach Christina Aguileras underwear. But first, Blake had to address rumors brought to him by his pal Trace Adkins. [He] said that you were dogging the hell out of me and you dont love me anymore, Blake accused Chelsea. Any truth to that? Watch the interview after the jump! No, Chelsea replied, assuring Blake he was still her favorite Hillbilly Bone singer.

Blake Shelton ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) Blake Shelton makes a Tuesday night (Aug. 7) appearance on Chelsea Lately and will be sitting in one of her comfy made-for-talk-shows chairs. But don't be surprised if one day, Shelton sits at the grown-ups' table, where host Chelsea Handler and her handful of handpicked comedians bash celebrities and the tabloids where they live. "We deserve -- as a country music industry -- to be on Chelsea Lately 's roundtable," Shelton told CMT Radio. "As a country music industry, we deserve to be recognized as funny ... and even though we're really not, we deserve the chance to be. And I wanna be that guy." Shelton has already proven himself to be funny and then some using Twitter and The Voice as his stages, so I think he'd be a natural at Handler's roundtable. Can you imagine him taking on the Kar...

Before Rick Ross said a single word during his appearance on Chelsea Lately last week, Chelsea Handler had something she wanted to say to him. So, she took a seat on his lap, let Ross rub her shoulders, and proclaimed, "I love big, black men!" And, just like that, we thought, "Wow, how awesome would it be if Ricky Rozay and 50 Cent 's former fling ever hooked up?!" And, our thoughts only multiplied during the interview as Ross and Handler flirted playfully, joked about the time Handler had "promised" Ross sex, and even talked about what it'd be like if they ever ended up in the sack together. They might make for an odd couple, but one thing is clear: If these two ever got together, they'd also make for one amazing power couple. We say that because, even though their relationship probably wouldn't last very long, we get the feeling they'd give us tons of headlines during their time together thanks to their explosive personalitie s. S...

The TV funnywoman, who films her late night talk show Chelsea Lately in Los Angeles, initially ended her relationship with New York-based hotelier Balazs in November (11), but the pair reunited in February (12). However, it appears the pressure of keeping the couple's long distance romance alive has taken its toll and the pair quietly parted ways once again at the end of May (12). A source tells the New York Daily News, "It was amicable. They're both adults, but it just wasn't working, and it was too much back-and-forth (travelling)." Handler has previously romanced rapper 50 Cent and Balazs was formerly linked to actress Uma Thurman.
