BLAKE SHELTON MOUTHFUL O' GWEN
This thing might be real after all ... Blake Shelton playfully gnawed at Gwen Stefani while "The Voice" was on a commercial break Monday night.
Officially, for all the doubters, the TV sweeps period ended 12 days ago -- so maybe they're not together just for ratings.
Then again, for you true believers ... there's still a 'Voice' finale to promote.
