Ke$ha is proud of her wild pop persona – insisting she is the female version of Van Halen hellraiser David Lee Roth.
The 23 year old hit the charts last year with TiK ToK, a track about her hard boozing and partying ways.
But the star doesn’t understand why she has been slammed for promoting drinking and clubbing to her teenage fans – because there is no reason a female performer can’t be as wild as her male rocker predecessors.
She tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, “You’d have to have no pulse not to come to my show and not have fun. David Lee Roth could be a total bada** running around, drinking whiskey and jumping into the crowd. I see no reason why a woman can’t do that.
“A woman who is hot, has a good time and drinks is often seen as a whore or an alcoholic. But I’m neither of the two.”
UNUSUAL FAME, OUT OF THE BLUE:Ke$ha becomes the 11th solo female to collect at least four Billboard Hot 100 top 10s from a debut album in the chart’s 52-year history, as “Take It Off,” from her introductory set “Animal,” prowls 16-10.
The 23-year-old pop singer-songwriter previously spent nine weeks atop the Hot 100 beginning in the Jan. 2 issue with “TiK ToK.” Follow-up “Blah Blah Blah,” featuring 3OH!3, debuted and peaked at No. 7 three weeks later – when “Animal” debuted atop the Billboard 200 – and “Your Love Is My Drug” rose to No. 4 in June. (Ke$ha’s Hot 100 discography includes an additional top 10, although 3OH!3′s “My First Kiss,” on which she guests, appears on the band’s album “Streets of Gold.” The song reached No. 9 in May).
Ke$ha, one of the presenters at this year’s Video Music Awards on Sept. 12, always seems to catch us off-guard with her fashion choices. Whether she’s lathering her whole body in glitter, painting stripes of blue across her face (and lips), or going out in public with animal masks on, this girl isn’t afraid to throw on whatever she wants. But, when MTV Style caught up with her recently, she revealed that everything she does is pretty calculated. Watch the videos below to find out what she thinks of glitter, her style, and her stage outfits. Plus, Ke$ha reveals her entire beauty routine, like what happens after she wakes up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.
KE$HA LOVES GLITTER, AND GLITTER LOVES KE$HA?
“Right before I go on stage, I lather my body in baby oil and cover my entire body with a shield of glitter. Because it just pops! It just looks great! It’s really hard to get the glitter off. I’ve just given up. I’ve accepted that it will just be there. It’s in all my suitcases, it’s usually in my food, in my drinks. Sometimes when I pee, it’s in the toilet, I don’t know how it got there.”
Guys, we did it. We interviewed Ke$ha for our fabulous fashion franchise, Head to Toe, and holy yak horn necklace, did she deliver. Did she say she likes to dress like “a sexy pirate?” Yes. Did she explain to us that she gathered – not plucked! – feathers for her earrings? Yes. Did she diss her ex-boyfriend? Totes yes. And we love her a wee bit more for it.
Check out our video below to see Ke$ha break down the who, what and wear of her outfit and peep pics in the gallery for a up close look at every piece and our tips on getting her look for less.
You’ll have to figure out how to draw claw marks over your eye on your own.
The promoter of a weekend musical festival outside St. John’s has cancelled the event, dashing the hopes of fans of pop superstar Ke$ha and other performers.
Rockin’ The Upper East Side was to have been a 10-hour outdoor concert in Mount Pearl on Sunday, but promoter David Carver Concerts said Wednesday it was cancelled.
The promoter did not provide a reason, although it’s known that organizers were concerned about whether Hurricane Earl would affect the event, which had been planned for the field near the Mount Pearl Glacier.
“A further statement regarding the cancellation will be issued later this week,” a company statement said.
David Carver Concerts said ticket holders could obtain full refunds starting Friday from the point of purchase, or at selected stores.
In addition to Ke$ha, the bill included the Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Kardinal Offishall, Lifehouse and Christa Borden.
Ke$ha is, without question, one of the biggest breakout stars of 2010. A slurring, whirling, hard-partying pop oddity (who may also be a genius) with a #1 album and a boatload of hit singles to her name, not to mention more than a few enemies. She even has under her star-spangled belt, her very own, very public WTF debacle in the form of a rather, uh, divisive “Saturday Night Live” performance.

Breakout poptress Ke$ha is up for three MTV Video Music Awards and is slated to present an award when the festivities kick off Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. The “Tik Tok” singer is sure to fit right in amid the typical VMA rowdiness, and even the promo for her appearance is chockfull of high-flying stunts and other craziness.
Drunk-pop princess Ke$ha’s had a big ol’ year, one that’s set to culminate at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, where she’s up for four Moonmen, and also performing.
Also also, the tall, blonde drink of vodka is one of the rising stars picked to shine alongside Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj in the VMA ad campaign, and her “road to the VMAs” — you can watch our exclusive premiere of the spot after the jump — is an appropriately trippy journey for this space cadet: Young Ke$ha is asleep on a giant bed inside what looks to be the mansion from the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” video, until she awakes to the strains of “Tik Tok” coming from outside the window. She plunges from the mansion’s balcony and… well, you’ll just have to watch it and see. And of course, weigh in below.
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards air Sunday, September 12, at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. CT, live from the Nokia Theater in L.A.
