Blake Shelton reads mean tweets about his 'Sexiest Man Alive' title — and it's hilarious

• People's choice of Blake Shelton as "Sexiest Man Alive" has been divisive, and the country star knows it. 
• The 41-year-old musician is often self-deprecating and has responded to the hate in a hilarious way.
• While on "The Ellen Show," Shelton took the time to read some tweets from "supportive" people — but they are actually mean tweets — backstage. 
• "Did a bunch of celebrities die or something last night," read one. 
• He said his favorite was: "We may be living in a time of division and strife, but at least People Magazine has united us in our certainty that Blake Shelton is not the 'Sexiest Man Alive.'" 
• He's also been using the hashtag, #DontHateMeCauseImBeautiful. 
• While we disagree with People's choice, we have to give it up to the country star for his humorously gracious response.
