Not much is off-limits to Kesha, one of the biggest breakthrough pop stars of the past year whose debut album, Animal, debuted at number one and has sold nearly one million copies in the U.S. alone. The 23-year-old has sung about everything from throwing up in Paris Hilton’s closet, to getting hit on by old men, to getting her heartbroken and being rejected by a guy.

But one thing she refuses to comment on: the leaked picture of her naked and covered in semen, which recently popped up on www.perezhilton.com. When asked about the picture in question, she says, “We’re not discussing that, thank you.”

(…) “I’m having a dance party,” exclaimed support act Ke$ha, just before she launched into the third song of her set, Dinosaur, a hilarious attack on pervy older men.

Clad in a silvery grey sleeveless top and sparkly hot pants, the Nashville electro-pop princess had already spent close to 10 minutes bouncing around the stage in an unrelenting display of manic energy.

Backed by two dancers and an equally animated band — some of whom looked like they’d been plucked from a 1985 Sigue Sigue Sputnik audition — Ke$ha obviously came to party and she was taking the crowd down with her.

Not that anyone was fighting against it. By the time Ke$ha finished off with her huge hit Tik Tok, the audience was screaming, singing and waving their hands in the air. At least waving the one hand that wasn’t busy recording her performance on an iPhone. (…)

She angered fictional parents in her “Tik Tok” video, pranced around with the boys of 3OH!3 in her “Blah Blah Blah” clip and frolicked with a bearded boyfriend in an animated desert for her “Your Love Is My Drug” video. It might seem like Ke$ha had already done it all, but she ups the ante again in her latest clip.

In photos from the singer’s “Take It Off” video set, she’s seen wearing really, really short shorts, a white fur coat and even rocking super-high platforms while posing on a motorcycle. And Ke$ha even returns to the desert, joined by a number of dancers in the sand.

For the video, it looks like Ke$ha ditched her signature waves for straightened locks, a look that is more polished than we’re used to seeing from the party-girl pop star. But, of course, Ke$ha is keeping it dirrrty by including some face paint and covering herself in the aforementioned sand.

Ke$ha’s debut album Animal has sold over 784-thousand copies since its release back in January. The singer will be opening for Rihanna on her Last Girl on Earth Tour, which kicks off tomorrow night, and our favorite hot mess is really looking forward to the tour.

“Rihanna’s (tour is) gonna be so insane. It’s gonna be so fun. It’s like a two month long dance party with like hot babes everywhere and like just fun times and lasers and, you know, good songs.”
Ke$ha also spoke about what fans can expect from her shows with Rihanna…

“I really want, like, when people come to my show, I want them to kind of be like, ‘Wow, I just went to like, this like, party’ not like a musical show where you sit down and watch. I want people to feel involved. Um…and hopefully leave covered in sweat and glitter, and maybe beer and, you know, hopefully on a mission to get laid afterwards. I hope I can inspire people to want to get laid.”

When Ke$ha begins a national tour with Rihanna on Friday, she’ll aim to prove two things: 1) that she’s truly the raucous good-time girl depicted in her smash singles, and 2) that she’s a serious artist, deserving of respect.

Conflicting goals? Ke$ha, 23, doesn’t see it that way. “I’m really fun,” she says. “I’m ridiculously fun. I hope I’m infectiously fun.”

Certainly, chart-topping hits such as Your Love Is My Drug (No. 4 on USA TODAY’s top 40 airplay chart) and her still-ubiquitous breakthrough, TiK ToK — on which Ke$ha, in the singsong rap that has become her trademark, cheekily boasts of brushing her teeth with Jack Daniel’s — suggest as much.

Ke$ha, who burst on the scene with the drunken party anthem “TiK ToK,” wants you to take her seriously.

Seriously.

The pop singer, who is one of the year’s top-selling artists and arguably the most successful newcomer, hasn’t been recognized for her artistic talents. Instead, she’s been bashed for what some see as her vapid lyrical content and party-girl vibe.

But the 23-year-old thinks she has been misrepresented.

“I’m responsible. I wouldn’t have a No. 1 record or song if I wasn’t a hardworking person,” she said in a recent interview backstage before a festival performance.

- Photoshoots from 2010: Thomas Whiteside [Elle]

Ke$ha made her primetime debut on tonight’s episode of The City.

She popped into our offices to be photographed by Thomas Whiteside for this month’s Rihanna-covered ELLE, the Women in Music issue, and worked with Joe Zee on a “trash couture” theme.

What does that mean exactly? We asked Joe to explain: “She loved the idea of looking like Brigitte Bardot after she’d been f&$%ed and rifled through the trash!”

But before you get any bright ideas about trying out this look in real life, he warned, “I think Ke$ha has “rock star style.” Is it for every young girl? No! But certainly for someone who’s not afraid to be daring and head-turning in her look.”

For further clarification of just what that look is, click through for outtakes from Ke$ha’s shoot with Whiteside.
