This is Ke$ha for the new issue of Paper Magazine. She looks drunk, per usual. Has anyone else noticed that she usually looks dirty too? I’m not a freckle-hater or anything, but is that it? Are Kesha’s freckles giving her that Lohan-esque unclean look? Anyway, I can’t find any excerpts from Kesha’s Paper interview but I did find some bits and pieces of press Kesha has been doing over the past week. This girl… I just don’t know. After I read the interview she did in Rolling Stone last month, I got to the point where I didn’t hate her anymore. True, she’s not awesome or anything, but she’s not a terrible person either. Eh. You decide from this array of quotes:
On her single ‘Your Love Is My Drug’: “It’s a song about how when you’re in love with someone, and you start acting like a total idiot psycho…You know, just like stalking. Chain calling. Calling from other numbers.” And when asked if she herself acts in that way, the 23-year-old ‘Tik Tok’ hit maker added: “Yeah… but not from my phone.”
Kesha on her young self: Ke$ha admits that she was a “math gee” and a “band nerd” at school.
On people who have wronged her: “You know what, sometimes I’ll walk my dogs and full bags of massive dog s**t. Then I’ll wrap them as Christmas presents and give them to people.”
She writes music to get back at people too: “The record is therapy. This b*tch stole my car, so I wrote a song about it called ‘Backstabber’. When I see thousands of people singing along to it I’m like, ‘Jeanie f**k you. You f**ked with the wrong b*tch.”
Kesha’s fashion sense: “If I’m in Los Angeles and I find a pile of clothes lying on the side of the street that someone plans to throw out, I’ll take it. I’m like a pirate on a treasure hunt. I think it’s way more creative. I love used clothes because they have a story to them.”
Does the girl have rage issues? Not really. She strikes me as someone who is all talk, no action. These stories seem like an attempt to be cool or hardcore, when really she’s probably some totally normal girl who just spends her time getting wasted. Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe she is wrapping up dogsh-t and wearing clothes she finds on the street. Do you think she even washes those clothes? Ugh.
Who cares.
this chick sucks. no talent whatsoever. and fug to boot!
She looks just like Flick from ‘A Christmas Story’ in that header pic.
So a blonde walks out of a trailer park…
This girl is an untalented, filthy swine. Weren’t her 15 min up about 4 months ago?
All i see when I look at her is John Travolta in bad drag. lol.
wow, y’all are harsh!! i like her. she’s cultivating an original persona and her songs are top-notch pop. it’s rare and refreshing to see a female songstress who doesn’t take on the easy sex kitten image. what’s wrong with being playful and wild-looking and not striving for a flawless and perfectly pretty look 100% of the time? she dares to be different and that takes balls in the entertainment industry nowadays and also i think she’s going to do some really impressive work in her lifetime.
She sucks. Next!
If she wants to be so “edgy”, she needs to get somebody who knows what they’re doing to restyle her hair and makeup. She just looks like an ordinary high school girl in a silly play to me.
she looks like she smells.
I initially didn’t like kesha but after reading about her i am in wuv, she seems like someone i would love to hang out with,she doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously,she is in it for the love of making music and she likes to get wasted!she is living the dream!
YAY for kesha!
she’s cultivating an original persona
___________________
Really? Because she can’t decide if she wants to be Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, or Courtney Love, or a phony amalgam of all three. The problem is that there is nothing original about her.
HOWEVER. she did recently do a benefit concertt o help victims of the Tennessee floods and donated a bunch of food to animal shelters there to help the animals displaced by the flooding, so I can’t hate on her. I wish she was just more genuine in her music and persona.
Travolta………..
i like her better than lady caca…atleast kesha looks like shes having fun..she doesn’t care about what other people think of her and shes not trying too hard
Good god she’s trying too hard.
Really, dear? You found your fuggo designer overpriced feathered headdress on the street?
Liana – and don’t forget Sharon Osbourne!
Sharon used to do the same thing with the doggie-doo. But Sharon was smart enough to have it wrapped up in Tiffany’s boxes.
Leather pants that jusy fit found on the street. Wow.
@audrey: you are right on!
@ a
– ooops.. i didn’t mean flick.. I met this little dude – Farkus!:

I have mixed feelings about her. As a singer her first two singles made me believe she sucked a lot of d*ck to get that contract. Her new song shows she has a voice (it’s still not a strong one, tho) and I like the lyrics and production. As a person I like her after reading the Rolling Stone interview – didn’t care/have an opinion before then. I appreciate that she’s not trying to be a sex kitten like most female singers out these days. I’m intrigued.
“I love used clothes because they have a story to them.”
…said the girl in the thousand dollar Rick Owens leather jacket.
Did nobody else see her old talent show video? This girl tries sooooooooo hard – one minute she’s a crazy girl from a broken home with all these wacked out childhood stories and then the next minute (likely after she realized we’d all seen the video evidence to the contrary) she was just a “math geek band nerd.”
I really don’t like this girl. She doesn’t have what it takes to pull off the persona she is desperately trying to fake.
The poor man’s Lady GaGa.
I like her.
Who???
she is all shock value and no talent. i pretty much can guarantee that she hasnt done most of the things she says she has or sings about. she just thought she had an in with that type of talk in our current pop culture. the reality is that this kind of fake made for the media bs never lasts long, especially when your songs suck and you arent very attractive
How old is she? Isn’t she just a teenager?
And I believe she said somewhere that she lies a lot in interviews because she wants to keep her actual self/life private.
I don’t know, she sings pop. What the heck do you people want from her? Or pop singers in general. They make good dance music, nothing more.
Is she a man in drag? I am being serious… is she?
i think she’s lying about most of her past. I think she actually grew up priviledged and is trying to hide it because she wants to be “cool”.
I haven’t heard any of her stuff, but I just wanted tp say that the ‘story’ is called ‘effluvia’, and it’s not worth telling.
Liana I think I know you! Did you used to work for NCH?
Dude, people throw out some amazing stuff. My sister had a roommate in college who just dumped her entire closet next to the dumpster b/c she didn’t feel like packing. Everything was perfectly good, barely worn. We totally took it. If the clothes are like that, I say go for it. It is a sad commentary on American consumer culture as far as I’m concerned (the throwing out, not Ke$ha or whatever her damn name is).
I don’t believe anything she says. I think she’s just trying to drum up attention. I don’t see anything creative out of her or Lady Gaga it’s already been done.
She is 23, so no, not a mere teenager.
You misspelled “geek” and “fill.”
Journalism fail.
Kaligula, by “original persona” do you mean a ripoff of Yelle and Uffie, topped with a bit of Avril Lavigne? She’s not the first singer to say the word ‘dick’ in a song in the last four years, “top-notch pop” my ass.
I am not a fan of Kesha. I really don;t like her voice and her songs.
lol, she should hire brother sharp as stylist, as her clothes come from garbage as well… with poor result, as difference
Really cool
