Pop Smart: How Ke$ha tik-tokked her way to the top.

“I’m lying in bed naked,” whispers Kesha over the phone. Though it’s an intriguing image, she manages to come off less like a Mariah Carey-style sex kitten and more in the vein of a Jack Black-type, rubbing his nipples and licking his lips. When someone chooses to change the “s” in her name to a dollar sign, it’s really hard to take much that she does thereafter seriously. Imagine if Joanna New$om or Regina $pektor had made that little alteration. Fortunately, the oft glittered and feathered 23-year-old Kesha Sebert, whose irreverent party anthem “Tik Tok” has been inescapable over the course of 2010, is in on the joke. “I’m writing songs about brushing my teeth with Jack Daniels. It doesn’t have to be so serious all the time — especially with pop music. I don’t take myself very seriously. I don’t think I should or could,” she explains from her hotel room in New York City, which incidentally has “very nice sheets.”

Ke$ha was at MuchMusic yesterday to do an incredible sound check and chat with Jesse about some rather interesting topics. She talked about her charity work, her MMVA performance and made it very clear that she doesn’t have crabs. Check out the clips below.

Dismiss her as lightweight if you want, but the undeniable pop sensation worked hard to get here — just ask her.

With her rather trashy esthetic — cowboy boots, big hair, smudged makeup, nose hoop — and anecdotes about throwing up in Paris Hilton’s closet and sending gift-wrapped poop to enemies, singer-rapper Ke$ha is easy to dismiss as a lightweight who got lucky with the handful of infectious electro pop tunes that catapulted her into the spotlight.

Not high fashion like Rihanna, outrageous as Lady Gaga, or clever as Katy Perry, the Nashville-based, L.A.-born performer has remained competitive on the strength of her January debut, Animal, which has scored three top ten singles, “Blah Blah Blah,” “Your Love is My Drug” and the ubiquitous “Tik Tok,” which spent nine weeks atop Billboard’s Hot 100 chart to become the longest running No. 1 debut single by a female artist since Debby Boone’s 1977 “You Light Up My Life.”

Since her album debuted at No. 1 in January, pop superstar and Nashville resident Ke$ha has spent much of this year basking in global fame. Now, she’s getting a chance to put the focus on rebuilding her hometown. She’s headlining her own Nashville flood relief concert at Limelight Nashville on June 16, with 100 percent of profits going to help flood victims.

We spoke with the 23-year-old singer on Tuesday about the benefit, her reaction to the flood, and how she spends her downtime in Music City.

What made you want to put on your own flood benefit concert?

“Nashville’s my home, and more than that I kind of think Tennessee’s the soul of America. I’ve grown up here and absolutely love Nashville. I feel like it’s all of our responsibilites as members of this community to give back, myself especially.

Since her album debuted at No. 1 in January, pop superstar and Nashville resident Ke$ha has spent much of this year basking in global fame. But tonight, she gets to put the focus back on rebuilding her hometown. She’s headlining her own Nashville flood relief concert at Limelight Nashville tonight, with 100 percent of profits going to help flood victims.

“I’m really in the position finally to help in a big way, which is to me one of the biggest upsides of the whole fame thing,” Ke$ha told The Tennessean Tuesday afternoon.

“Really, the only part of celebrity culture I take seriously is the fact that I am going to get to reach a lot of people about something this serious, that a lot of people need to be aware of.”

Singer Ke$ha has a vengeful side!

The TiK ToK hitmaker admits she is not afraid to let people know when they have wronged her and has given her enemies dog pooh as Christmas presents.

“You know what, sometimes I’ll walk my dogs and full bags full of massive dog s**t,” she said. “Then I’ll wrap them as Christmas presents and give them to people.”

The star also admitted she uses song writing to get her own back on people.

Ke$ha was once mistaken for Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant.

The 23-year-old pop star is famed for her wild mane of curly blonde hair, copious tattoos and penchant for rock star clothes. Although she shares a hair style with country singer Taylor Swift, Ke$ha says she is more frequently compared with ageing rocker Robert.

“I don’t get mistaken for Taylor Swift. This guy once said I looked like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin,” she told British magazine More! “I loved that – it was one of my favourite compliments ever.”

Ke$ha has also tried to pass for Colombian pop star Shakira, who also has curly blonde locks. The young star once forgot to take identification on a night out, so pretended to be Shakira to get into a club.

“One time I didn’t have my ID so I said I was Shakira. I love her. I haven’t met her but I have a crush on her,” Ke$ha said.

Ke$ha is more likely to take clothes out of people’s bins than buy them in a store.

The 23-year-old pop star loves second hand fashion, and would rather be rummaging through rubbish than trying on designer garments in luxurious boutiques.

She says she can’t walk past a bag of clothes on the side of the road without stopping to pore through it, comparing her search for pre-loved outfits to a “treasure hunt”.

“If I’m in LA and I find a pile of clothes lying on the side of the street that someone plans to throw out, I’ll take it,” she told British magazine More! “I’m like a pirate on a treasure hunt. I am totally more likely to go through someone’s bin than go to a shop.

“I think it’s way more creative. I love used clothes because they have a story to them.”

Ke$ha shot to fame last year with her hit single ‘Tik Tok’. She loves being a celebrity because it has showed her that self-confidence is all you need to be happy.

“Fame has taught me that having confidence is the most important thing in the world,” she explained. “I don’t have the best body in the world, but I have confidence.”
