Ke$sha

Part of what makes Kesha so refreshing is how unapologetic she is for who she is and what she represents. There's more to her than glitter and garishness -- there's a heart. And Kesha's heart stung when she came under fire for her 'Die Young' lyrics in light of the Newtown, C.T. school shooting. But that doesn't mean she should apologize for them.

After last week's tragic Sandy Hook school shooting in Newton, Conn., Kesha's youth anthem 'Die Young' began slowly disappearing from radio playlists. And the singer herself has now weighed in on the controversy -- albeit with a bizarre explanation.

Kesha's lead single from 'Warrior,' 'Die Young,' was an indirect casualty of the Newtown, Ct. massacre. The track faced an enormous radio airplay decline following the horrific school shooting on Dec. 15 when programmers and DJs pulled it from rotation. The singer is now speaking out on the decision -- and she's being incredibly empathetic and sensitive. (We knew we liked her.)

Kesha's 'Die Young' may be a youthful anthem about living life to the fullest, but the song's title evoked something much darker in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings -- so the track is now being shelved by radio stations across the country.

Pop music's reigning, resident bada-- Kesha debuted her new single 'C'Mon' on tonight's (Dec. 6) elimination episode of 'X Factor.'

Good news for Justin Bieber in case Selena Gomez gets tired of his drama anytime soon -- another pop star is up for a roll in the hay with him. Kesha's not opposed to bangin' the Biebs. On that note, maybe swap out "hay" for "glitter."

Kesha officially passed over that imaginary border from fun-crazy into crazy-crazy when she revealed she has a bra, headdress and earring combo made of her fans' teeth. Cue the 'Psycho' music.

Kesha's 'Warrior' album is due out next month, and to celebrate, the pop star appeared on 'TODAY' to perform her latest single, 'Die Young.'

Having Cyndi Lauper introduce Kesha may be the most appropriate move the American Music Awards ever made. The eccentric superstars were made for one another!

The stars swarmed the red carpet for pictures at the 2012 American Music Awards (AMAs) tonight (Nov. 18). There were plenty of hits and misses as our favorite pop acts donned their Sunday best. Actually, it felt like more acts were dressing down for one of music's biggest events.

Kesha, our flawless, glittery cannibal queen, chatted with The Sun about everything from her celeb crushes, her book, her album 'Warrior' and the world's biggest bed. -- which she insists that she has.

Kesha? Acoustic? You bet. The 'Die Young' singer will release a five-song EP called 'Deconstructed' through her fan store with the fan edition of her 'Warrior' album, due Dec. 4.

Get ready for one heck of a party. Kesha, Justin Bieber and Usher are all slated to hit the stage for the 2012 American Music Awards on Nov. 18.

Oh Brit Brit. She committed quite the verbal faux pas on 'X Factor' last week. When Demi Lovato's charge CeCe Frey sang for her life in order to remain with the show, Britney Spears compared her previous evening's performance to "Keesha." Who's this Keesha? Oh, snap. She meant Kesha. Oops, Brit did it again!

Kesha is one busy, glitter-coated woman. Her new single 'Die Young' is climbing up the charts and her album 'Warrior' will hit shelves Dec. 4. She's a Casio spokeswoman, a designer and an avid animal rights activist. And now she's letting fans get another piece of her: She's releasing an illustrated memoir!

To say we were excited for Kesha's new single, 'Die Young,' would be an understatement. It's been two years since we heard new music from the whiskey enthusiast, and it's been well worth the wait.

Guess who's back? Back again. Kesha's back. Tell a friend. K-e-dollar sign-sha announced via Twitter earlier this morning the release dates for her 'Die Young' single and her album 'Warrior.' Finally!

Kesha is hard at work on her new record and has been for a while. We’re pretty much dying to hear it, and while we can’t quite yet (save for a snippet that Dr. Luke leaked), we did hear a bit about it — and it’s making us want more, more, more.

Kesha is the resident bad-girl-gone-badder of pop music. Yeah, Rihanna, we said it. That rebel (and animal lover) Kesha showed off her general badassness by getting a brand new tattoo.

As a guy, I know that we, guys, can go to the bathroom anywhere (its not right we know), but I think Kesha might be taking going to the bathroom to a whole different level.  As you can see, couldn't she have retreated to the woods or somewhere with a little more cover?
