Blake Shelton Sues Tabloid; Claims Defamation

Blake Shelton is suing InTouch Weekly magazine for a story he says is false.

The tabloid featured a picture of Blake Shelton on their September 28th cover with the headline, 'Rehab for Blake...He Finally Hits Rock Bottom.'

TMZ says 'The Voice' coach's lawsuit claims defamation and asks for over 1 million dollars in damages. His attorneys say the country star has had enough and wants to set the record straight.

Blake calls BS on several specific lines from the article, including:

* "Blake has hit rock bottom"
* "His friends are terrified that he could end up dead at this rate"
* "Blake's drinking and womanizing are what helped torpedo his 4-year marriage"
* Mr. Shelton was "caught" by Ms. Lambert with "a bunch of naked women" in their home
* "His close friends have talked about an intervention"

Blake and Miranda are both set to perform at next month's CMA Awards.
