I grew to like Kesha (Ke$ha) after reading several of her interviews. She’s funny, and she’s smarter than the average pop star, and you have to hand it to her – she writes really catchy pop songs. I know she gets a lot of shade from a lot of people, but I prefer her personality to someone like… Rihanna. No disrespect to RiRi, but Kesha just has more to say about life, and she says it in a funnier way. Anyway, Kesha took some time away from the spotlight, but now she’s back with a new album, and Glamour Mag gave her a makeover (a make-under, honestly). Doesn’t she look cute? She’s still funny too:

GLAMOUR: You were cranking some rock during your Glamour photo shoot. I’ve heard your new album is going to be much more rock ‘n’ roll.
KE$HA: People say that rock ‘n’ roll is dead, and I am making it my mission to resurrect it. I have rock ‘n’ roll pumping through my veins.

GLAMOUR: Do you think it’s harder to succeed in rock as a woman?
KE$HA: I know that I have balls. I have bigger balls than a lot of the men that I meet. I’m just a ballsy motherf–ker. I’m not afraid of pushing boundaries. That’s what you have to do to become an icon.

GLAMOUR: Women seem to be taking over pop music right now: you, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry…. Why do you think that is?
KE$HA: I definitely think women are running it right now. We are not afraid to speak our minds. It’s exciting because that’s what I stand for, for people to be irreverent and to be themselves.

GLAMOUR: How big’s the gap between Ke$ha in real life and Ke$ha onstage, drinking men’s blood and dancing with a giant bouncing penis?
KE$HA: I’m just very amused by five-year-old humor. Don’t get me wrong: I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It’s like a hobby. I’m like a praying mantis. They f–k me, and then I eat them. But who isn’t amused by a giant, dancing penis? Sometimes when I’m sad, I make my assistant put on the penis outfit and bounce around my house.

GLAMOUR: You’ve said you’re attuned to people. What turns you off?
KE$HA: I was dating a guy once who spoke rudely to a taxi driver. I got out of the cab and walked home. Treat people with respect. I’ve waited tables, and that’s why I just exceedingly overtip. It’s exhausting work.

GLAMOUR: Why do you usually break it off with a guy?
KE$HA: I’m in the middle of writing a new record. I’m taking so many different instrument lessons. I’m also designing animal-friendly jewelry and a fake-fur line. So if a man is not, like, the second coming, then what’s the point? I have other s–t to do.

GLAMOUR: Your fans have such a crazy dedication to you.
KE$HA: The people who come to my shows have dollar signs drawn all over them. They have blue lipstick. I call them my animals because they just go totally mental.

GLAMOUR: Are you going to keep rocking the body paint?
KE$HA: Oh, the body paint stays. It’s my favorite thing to do. Sometimes I have parties at my house in Nashville and it’s clothing-optional, and we just body-paint each other and run around, and I have a giant bed. I’m very much in touch with that side of myself.

GLAMOUR: So maybe you’re not all that different than you are onstage?
KE$HA: It’s not a weird sex orgy thing. You can wear a bathing suit!

GLAMOUR: What do you say to all the moms who have kids running around the house singing, “Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack,” from “TiK ToK”?
KE$HA: Parents should not let them listen to my music if it’s offensive. I wrote these songs for me.

GLAMOUR: Who are your style icons?
KE$HA: I would love to embody the attitude of Iggy Pop or Keith Richards: a ballsy mentality. Stylistically, I love Vivienne Westwood—those capes! I’m obsessed.

GLAMOUR: For this photo shoot, your look is very natural. When you’re not performing, how do you feel about going outside without makeup and knowing you might get photographed?
KE$HA: My makeup is usually left over from the night before. I’m not really worried about the photographs because if I tell my fans not to give a f–k about the haters, then I have to practice what I preach. I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.

GLAMOUR: What are your favorite beauty products? Let’s start with the body paint.
KE$HA: I’m coming out with my own line. And I found Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo that is like God’s gift. You don’t have to shower. You just put it in and instantly look like the eighties.

GLAMOUR: So what’s next?
KE$HA: Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I’m still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal.

See? What’s not to love? You know who she reminds me of a little bit? Pink, especially when Pink first came on the scene, all piss and vinegar and tomboy posturing. At worst, Kesha is harmless. At best, she’s WAY cooler than most of the pop stars out there. I’m biased, though. I love this girl, and I look forward to seeing more of her.

While Rihanna went professional and crisp in a white suit, and Lady Gaga didn’t even show up, there was a void. A void three musical crazy women tried to fill. Those ladies? Nicki Minaj, Fergie and Ke$ha. Honestly, though, none of their costumes were as crazy as some of the junk they’ve tried to pull in the past, which leads me to believe that this entire Billboard Music event was totally budget and unnecessary.

Ke$ha wore this completely unflattering dress, allegedly by Jad Ghanour, although I can’t imagine any designer wants to put their name on this. Here’s the problem: I actually kind of like Ke$ha. In interviews, she’s funny and clever and kind of cool. Her music is not really amazing or anything, but I’d be lying if I claimed I hadn’t downloaded “Blow”. But the problem is that the chick doesn’t really “fit” into the molds of successful pop artists. She’s not a Rihanna, a Britney, or even a Nicki Minaj. She doesn’t have the looks to pull off the weirdness, IMO. This dress is just so… ugly. And it emphasizes all of the bad parts of Ke$ha’s body. Ugh.

As for Nicki, she wore this horribly unflattering Mark Fast bodysuit and Versace heels. So, so trashy and ugly. The outfit, not Nicki, although you could make the argument for Nicki as well. She just… tries too hard.

And finally, we have Fergie in Max Azria. I can’t even look at the fug faux bondage stuff because I’m too enchanted by her ridiculous drag queen face. Too much plastic surgery, too much makeup, too much fug. It’s really difficult for me to pick a worst dressed.

Ke$ha has a new interview with Vanity Fair, which is good for several reasons. First of all, whatever you may think of Kesha’s music or think of her as a celebrity, you should be able to admit one thing about her: the chick gives a great interview. She has a gift for soundbytes and little humorous interview-friendly stories and revelations, and she doesn’t take herself too seriously, which also contributes to her being a great interview. Second of all, the VF interview means that somebody is taking her seriously. And that’s a good thing, because she’s really not the most offensive pop act out there, and in my opinion, a little Kesha every now and then is a good thing. The full VF interview (plus review of her new album) is here, and here are some highlights from the piece:

Eric Spitznagel: On Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, you told Ryan Seacrest that your resolution for 2011 is “to not be a douchebag.” How’s that been working out for you?
Ke$ha: Thus far, I think I’m doing a pretty decent job. I’m not saying I don’t f-ck up here and there. But for the most part, I think the douchery has been kept to a minimum.

If you’d cut back on the douchiness a little earlier, do you think you would’ve had a better chance of getting a few Grammy nominations this year?
Who knows. Probably not. But it’s not that big a deal.

You don’t want a Grammy?
Of course I do. I was disappointed that I didn’t get nominated. But I’ve only been around for a year. I’m friends with the Black Keys, and they were nominated for the first time this year. And they’ve been around for a decade. That’s like half my life. So I really can’t be a brat about it. I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy worthy.

On Glitter: The glitter’s not really a choice. When you’re around me, you’re going to get glitter on you. It infuriates a lot of people who hang out with me. They get glitter on them and it won’t come off for days and it ruins their game. But I think it’s incredible.

What’s your glitter budget for a typical year? It’s got to be in the thousands, right?
Honestly, it’s pretty exorbitant. It’s probably more like a few thousand every month. If you come and see a show of mine, there is no shortage of glitter. By the end, everyone from the back of the auditorium to the very front is covered and potentially choking on glitter. I am shooting glitter from glitter guns and out of every orifice in my body. It’s really a big part of what I do. It’s my goal to cover the planet in glitter and take the f-ck over. I can’t do that if I don’t have a sh-t-ton of glitter.

Wait, did I hear you correctly? You’ve got glitter coming out of every orifice?
That’s right. I’ve found glitter in places that will not be named in this interview.

You might want to mention that to a doctor. Would you describe it as a glittery discharge?
No, it shoots out. And it’s coming from everywhere on my body. Let’s just leave it at that.

If your songs are to be believed, your life is one big lost weekend of alcohol poisoning and recreational sex. But it’s all just a metaphor, right? It’s like when Bob Dylan sings about working on Maggie’s farm. It’s not a literal representation of your life, is it?
Everything I write is based on something I’ve personally experienced, or things that my friends have experienced that I just find horribly entertaining. One of my favorite songs on my first record is about this bitch who stole my car. I also did a song called “Dinosaur,” which is about old creepy guys with bad hairpieces who hit on me in bars. I think dinosaurs are the male equivalent of cougars.

I guess. But calling somebody a cougar is much closer to a compliment than calling them a dinosaur.
I mean it as a compliment. I love dinosaurs. I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up.

What about that infamous line in “Tik Tok,” where you brag about brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels?
What about it? I do that all the time.

When something like that happens, what’s going through your head? Are you like, “How’d this bottle get in the bathroom? What the f-ck am I doing? Oh my god, what’s happened to my life? I’ve got to get my sh-t together!”
Absolutely not! Jack Daniels is an anti-bacterial and it’s way better than morning breath. Let me put it this way, if you wake up naked in a bathtub and you have the choice between rinsing out with Jack Daniels or trying to make out with some dude with morning breath, I would recommend picking up the Jack.

There’s also option C, where you catch a cab and go home and spend the rest of the day doing some serious self-reflection.
[Laughs.] That’s no fun. I think Jack Daniels is underrated as an antiseptic. Two nights ago, I was in Dallas for the Super Bowl — I played a pre-Super Bowl party — and I was with my hairdresser. He said he wanted a tattoo, so I whipped out my new tattoo gun. It’s really loud; it makes this whirring noise like some scary electronic mouth drill from the dentist. He got really freaked out and said, “No, no, no, just give me an old school tattoo.” So I whipped out a sewing needle and ink pen, and I gave him this tattoo. And he was like, “No, first you have to sterilize the needle!” And all we had was some Jack Daniels. We just kind of soaked it for twenty seconds. And the man still has an arm. He didn’t get gangrene or any sort of diseases.

I’m less concerned that you’re using whiskey as an antiseptic than I am that you own a tattoo gun.
It’s great! My manager got it for me as a Christmas present.

Have you actually given anyone a tattoo with it?
Nobody will let me. Whenever I whip it out, they’re like, “I was just kidding!” They sober up really quick.

You’ve claimed that the dollar sign in your name was meant as a joke, because of how ridiculously poor you were early in your career. But now that you’re rich, can’t you get rid of it? It’s not exactly ironic anymore.
I don’t care, I love it. Looking back now, over the past year, I’m so happy that I decided to keep the dollar sign. It’s the American symbol for money, which is one of the most powerful things in the world. And now, because of me, it’s also a symbol for glitter, debauchery, and youthfulness. I love that. Whenever I’m walking by a bank and I see a big dollar sign, I just have to laugh to myself.

What banks have big dollar signs outside? Do you have an account with Scrooge McDuck?
You know what I’m saying. A dollar sign isn’t just about money anymore. It’s also about glitter guns and whiskey. I really feel like that’s the ultimate subversion. I get off on stuff like that.

[From Vanity Fair]

I had to stop because I wanted to put all of her quotes in! She’s so funny. My favorite lines are “I think Jack Daniels is underrated as an antiseptic” and “I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up” and “I am shooting glitter from glitter guns and out of every orifice in my body”. She’s magnificent.

Sometimes, Ke$ha reminds me of Our Beloved Raccoon McPantless. There’s a difference between the two wildly inappropriate drunk children though. Raccoon is all angsty and teenage and “look at me, I’m SO SHOCKING” and she’s earnest in her efforts to be thought of as the most hardcore pantless raccoon EVER. Ke$ha, on the other hand, is also kind of angsty and “look at me, I’m SO DRUNK” but she does everything with a wink and a nod. I guess what separates them is that Ke$ha knows it’s all a joke, and she’s in on it. She gets that pop music is inherently dumb, and she’s having fun while it’s her turn. As I’ve said before, I’ve grown to like Ke$ha because she gives good interviews and she actually seems like she’d be fun to hang out with. Now I can add a new layer to wanting to get drunk with her – she knew “everything” about sex since the age of seven. And she’s been taking care of herself since she was 14. Oh, and she wants her mystery father to be Mick Jagger. Good luck, Ke$ha.

Kesha’s mother taught her ”everything about sex” before she was seven years old, because she wanted her to be responsible. Kesha knew “everything about sex” before she was seven years old. The ‘Tik Tok’ singers’ mother wanted her to be responsible and so from a young age encouraged her to act like an adult.

She said: “I knew everything about sex before I was even seven. My mom left me at home when I was 14 with a credit card, and a box of condoms and the keys to the car and said, ‘Don’t get pregnant and don’t drink and drive’. I had to be responsible for myself.”

The singer also warned that her live shows have a particularly adult theme – including the audience being showered with Kesha condoms – and that her fans should expect to be “visually and sonically violated” by her shows.

She added to Britain’s The Times newspaper: “I’m not a babysitter. My balls are on the table. I’m very upfront with who I am. There is sex. There is alcohol. The kids are gonna figure it out someday.”

Kesha, who has two brothers, was raised by her mother in Nashville, US, and doesn’t know who her real dad is, so she pretends she is the offspring of the lead singer of The Rolling Stones.

She added: “I talked to my mum about it. She has a sketchy memory. I don’t really care. I’m going to pretend like my dad is Mick Jagger and proceed.”

[From Contact Music]

See? I mean, it’s a completely different vibe than Raccoon McPantless, although both are guilty of saying dumb stuff. And, for the record, I do think Ke$ha has a way with words. She might not be book smart, but she’s incredibly quotable and she might make a half-decent lyricist one day. Today, however, she’s a hot mess. Bless her.

I kind of want to marry Ke$ha when she’s wearing this wig. I mean… it’s rather fabulous and hilarious, isn’t it? She’s not like Lady Gaga, who takes it all so seriously and fears that some kind of Billy Idol mullet wig might set off one of her monsters. And Ke$ha’s not like Rihanna, who thinks that she’s some kind of groundbreaking fashionista (she’s not). Ke$ha knows that being a pop star is inherently absurd… thus, the wig. I’m beginning to love her. And I love the way she posing so seriously too, like this is a genuine look that she’s seen in magazines, and she’s trying to achieve some sort of “Mullet Runway-to-Red Carpet” pose.

Next up from Ke$ha, we have a non-mullet look. Apparently, she got herself some special 3D glasses, and she wore them while she was trying to leave Jimmy Kimmel’s interview. Okay, this look is rather Gaga. Whatever, she’s probably drunk.

UPDATE: Not that it really matters, but there are some excerpts from Ke$ha’s new Complex Magazine cover interview. Here you go:

On whether she’s still with Alex Carapetis: “Not so much. He had a Keith Richards vibe to him, but then he started acting like a woman, and I just can’t handle that.”

On the “P. Diddy” line: “Diddy called [Dr. Luke] up like, ‘I want to work with you.’ Luke was like, “We’ve got a line on Ke$ha’s first single talking about how great it is to feel like you.’”

On her garbage bag dress: “I was trying to look super-hot. I like to poke fun at when people make fun of me, because I don’t take myself that seriously. People say I’m ‘garbage chic,’ so I thought I’d take it to the next level and make a garbage bag super f—ing chic – and I succeeded!”

[From Just Jared]

See? She’s funny and she doesn’t take her junk seriously.

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I don’t hate or dislike Ke$ha. When she first came on the scene, I thought she was a deranged, unoriginal drunk child… but now that I’ve read some of her interviews, I have to say, she’s really not that bad. She’s actually a good interview, she has interesting stuff to say, and she doesn’t take herself seriously at all, which I appreciate.

All that being said, this Mohawk look is a big, fat pile of NO. She’ll never be one of those cutesy pop stars, but when she isn’t trying to fug herself out, she’s not bad. The problem is that Ke$ha doesn’t care about looking cute. She’s going to throw her hair into a giant Mohawk hot mess and party her ass off. Ten hours later, she’s still at the bar, trying to get into the bartender’s panties. This is why I wouldn’t mind hanging out with Kesha – you would look sober and clean compared to her, always and forever. Plus, she seems like fun. Just beware of getting stabbed with the Mohawk.

Anyway – yeah, this was Kesha at last night’s Us Weekly event. My guess? She was probably partying with David Arquette. Here are some additional photos from the event:

Sharon and Kelly Osbourne. Sharon looks… bad.

Guess who is back on drugs, y’all? Brooke Mueller.

Perez wearing a cardigan with nothing underneath.

Paris Hilton, looking like a piece of old, cheap leather.

Ugh… this was such a trashy event. Ke$ha is too good for it!

These are photos of Ke$ha at the European Music Awards, or whatever they’re called (someone just got banned after getting hysterical over me calling them the wrong thing). I totally forgot to look for Kesha’s photos, because… well, she’s Kesha. She’s just kind of an afterthought. I don’t hate the girl, and in all honesty, she kind of cracks me up, but the girl needs a new look or something. I want to force her into a hot shower with lots of soap and make her stay in there until all the badness is down the drain. Anyway, Kesha just did an interview with New York Magazine, and she’s totally open and funny, like she usually is. Kesha’s interviews are one of the reasons I changed my mind about her – she’s not some dumb-bunny pop star, she actually does think about sh-t. She’s not a genius or anything, but she’s witty:

Why did you name your new album “Cannibal”?
I think that this year has been just totally insane, and I think that there’s been a little bit of self-devouring. It’s gotten a little intense, and I’m going a little crazy. And I just took Animal a little left, and a little darker, and just a little crazier.

You were recently criticized for not having “the best voice,” and you defended yourself. Do you think your style of music prevents you from showcasing your voice?
I think that it might because it obviously has an electronic element to it. I know that I can sing. That’s the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old. So if people haven’t seen that yet, then hopefully they will in this repackage. There are definitely two songs on here that showcase that.

A song that you co-wrote with your mom in 2002, “Good-bye,” recently surfaced, and it has a very different, surprisingly sweet sound. Would you ever want to go back to that?
I’ve been writing songs for forever, but yeah, listen to that and obviously I can sing. It’s not the kind of music I’m doing now, but the transformation happened because I went through a rebellious, angsty period of my life, as do most adolescents, and I wanted to capture the essence of youth on the record. I feel like that song was more singer-songwritery, and I can always go there. But you can only really capture the essence of youth when you’re young and living it. The one thing I don’t do is I don’t write bullshit. I write about what I’m going through.

You recently teamed up with the It Gets Better Campaign to fight bullying, particularly among gay youth. Have you had any personal experience with bullying?
Oh absolutely. I have haters. I have so many haters. People assume because you’re in the public eye that we don’t notice or we don’t care about it, but I’ve definitely experienced my fair share of hate. And that’s what doing the It Gets Better Campaign is about, because there will always be haters, there will always be cynical people, and there will always be jealousy. It’s really just learning to ignore the haters and giving them the finger and doing what you know is right for you. That’s what I’ve had to learn how to do, and that’s what hopefully any kids getting bullied would know how to do.

You’ve gotten some heat over your lyrics about subjects like brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack. Do you actually do that?
I have, but I don’t do it every day. It wasn’t an instruction manual for 8-year-old little girls to do.

You’ve been photographed with blue lips, covered in glitter, and most recently, with a gold tooth. What look are you going for?
I’m trying to look like a cross between Keith Richards and a hobo. But like a really ridiculously hot hobo. Or like a sexy pirate.

Will you ever drop the dollar sign from your name?
I don’t know. It’s ironic. Some people have gotten the irony, some people it’s been lost on. It is definitely obnoxious. But I think part of the job of a pop star is to be a little bit obnoxious, so I think I’m doing my job well.

[From New York Magazine]

My favorite is “I’m trying to look like a cross between Keith Richards and a hobo. But like a really ridiculously hot hobo.” But I also love “It wasn’t an instruction manual for 8-year-old little girls to do.” See? She’s funny. Now that I know she’s trying to achieve the “sexy Keith Richards hobo” look, I kind of think she’s right on!

Ke$ha is not my favorite person, but she’s far from my least favorite. I might have to revise that though, because it seems that Kesha got herself a gold tooth. Sigh… really, Kesha? You don’t have enough problems? You’ve got to go get yourself a gold toof? Fame Pictures notes (hilariously): “Common among pirates, gypsies, weird musicans and old school tattoo artists, pop star Kesha has gotten herself a gold tooth, which the young singer proudly flashed in NYC, NY on August 16, 2010.” Exactly.

In other Kesha-is-probably-an-idiot news, she and Rihanna did a big show at Madison Square Garden last week, and Kesha has been transformed into Rihanna’s biggest fan.

In one interview she gave for MTV, Kesha talked about Rihanna, whom she joined for one performance at Madison Square Garden.

“It’s amazing! She’s just a badass. I saw her yesterday, and she spanked me — always keeping me on my toes. She’s the sickest”, Kesha said.

Well, everything is sick when it comes to 23-year-old Kesha. She always wants to bring up controversial subjects such as her being a lesbian. So the singer didn’t waste the chance of saying that Rihanna is a nasty girl. As if she had a clue about it!

[From Why Fame]

Rihanna spanked her? You know Kesha loves that, right Rihanna? Her favorite thing to do is go to bars, order a whiskey and spank people. Okay… maybe I do like her. But if Kesha and I go to the bar to spank people, I’m making her take out her gold tooth before we go.

This is Kesha’s new boyfriend Alex Carapetis, by the way. Eh… I kind of think she could do better. He’s wearing leggings and he looks like he smells. Of course, she does too.

This is a slightly older story, but Paper Magazine recently put some excerpts online from their cover interview with Kesha from last month. Kesha is a lovesick crackhead, as many know. And her interviews read like that too. In these excerpts, Kesha talks about her love of do-it-yourself tattoos (gross) and how transvestites are more beautiful than she is:

Who makes Ke$ha ‘want to be a better woman?’ What are her secrets for picking up dudes? Can she give you a homemade tattoo? Find out in these outtakes from Whitney Spaner’s feature on the ascending, Jack Daniels-loving pop star from PAPER’s summer music issue, on stands now.

On transvestites:
Freaks are what make everything mildly more interesting in life but with trannies, they make me want to be a better woman. I see these men who have way better bodies than I do, more beautiful faces, better complexions, beautiful makeup, and they’re more fun than any person I’ve met in my life. They make me feel like I’m not a very good woman.

On possibly going country:
I’m really inspired by country music — my mom wrote country music — and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I’m also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it’s really funny and I’m going to ride that train for a little bit.

On her love for DIY tattooing:
A friend of mine told me you can [create a tattoo] with pen ink and a safety pin and I was like ‘That’s amazing. I could give tattoos at anywhere in the world at any hotel.’ I saw this hot dude recently and I gave him a tattoo sitting in the lobby of the hotel. I was just like ‘Can I borrow a pen and a sewing kit?’ I think I got an admirer out of that one.

On being a ‘pervert:’
I wouldn’t say I’m aggressive, but I’m a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn’t work, but it’s fun.

On her pick-up methods in bars:
I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that.

On whether Jack Daniels is really her drink of choice:
I like whiskey and I like red wine — those are my two favorites. I love to lie around my house listening to vinyl records and drinking red wine. It’s amazing. But I’m never home, so…

[From Paper Magazine]

I know a lot of you hate her, but after I read her Rolling Stone interview, I just can’t. Yes, she’s not the brightest bulb, but she’s also not totally stupid. She’s rather gross and silly, but she’s funny too, and she has some good lines and she really doesn’t take herself too seriously. I appreciate the line, “I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that.” I’m not saying she’s God’s gift to music or the most interesting celebrity in the world – I’m just saying she would be fun to hang out with in a bar.

Ke$ha is a chubby chaser. She loves a little chunk on her men. She doesn’t like them all skinny and gangly and bony, like, say, Russell Brand She wants a little cushion. She wants to know if Russell Brand has a chubby friend. Oh, and she likes her chubby dude with a beard and a sense of humor, too. I think Ke$ha just described Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sigh… I would pick PSH over a moobed Gerard Butler, you know.

Kesha loves fat men. The Blah Blah Blah singer – who is currently single – admits she has a less-than-traditional taste in men and can’t stand the thought of dating someone too well-groomed.

She said: “My ideal man would be funny and fat with a beard. I love fat men. I like real men. I don’t like really feminine men who tan. I don’t understand that. I like a funny man, though. Russell Brand’s not quite my type, but if he had a fat, bearded friend, that would be perfect.”

The outspoken 23-year-old star also admitted her biggest turn off would be to date someone who spends longer in the bathroom than she does.

She told heat magazine: “I could not bear to go out with a guy who takes longer than me to get ready. I don’t want someone who’s going to steal my moisturizer.”

Though she has a lengthy list of specifications for a partner, Kesha insists she isn’t ready to settle down just yet.

She said: “I’m far from lonely. Far, far from it. But I don’t want to settle down yet. Gross!”

[From This Is London]

I have to admit, I don’t have a problem with chubby guys either, as long as they own it. Like, a dude has a gut from beer and loving food and he’s cool with that, I’m fine with it too. I hate self-loathing chubby guys though. A dude who is obsessed with his weight is worse than a woman obsessed with her weight, in my opinion. But more often than not, I end up with the whippet-thin dudes with crazy metabolisms who can eat like a horse and never gain any weight, and I feel like the chubby one. Hm… I really do love skinny, gangly dudes, though. F-ck, I just love men, of all shapes and sizes. I’m not chubby-specific like Kesha.
