Maxwell Interviews Ke$ha On Q102






The pop superstar is currently on tour with "Party Rock Anthem" duo LMFAO, and we can only imagine what goes on behind closed doors on the road. Whiskey? Check. Shufflin'? Check... And certainly LOTS and LOTS of glitter. We wouldn't necessarily have thrown "nudity" in the mix... until now.

Ke$ha and LMFAO's Red Foo and Sky Blu stopped by Philly radio station Q102 Wednesday afternoon ahead of their Philadelphia show, and Ke$ha greeted her tourmates in the hallway in true party girl fashion - she mooned them! Talk about making an entrance... and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day.

In the radio interview, Ke$ha said that she thinks writing a good song is better than sex, revealed that she'd like to see Kim Kardashian and President Obama naked and even got a lap dance from DJ Maxwell. She truly is hot AND dangerous

Alice Cooper talks ke$ha

It seems like everyone wants to play with you. I read you were just on stage in Europe with Ke$ha.

We met Ke$ha, who I think is going to be more of a rock singer than a diva. She's got rock singer mentality rather than 'I wanna be Beyonce ... or Lady Gaga.' Lady Gaga is in a world of her own. She's created her own universe, which is great. I totally applaud what she's doing. I'm not that much into her music but I can listen to it and go, "That's really good." Ke$ha should have her own rock band behind her. I mean, a real rock band. And she would be a killer lead singer. And I pushed her in that direction. When we wrote this song, "What Baby Wants," she actually plays the devil on the album. She's a perfect devil. I met her at the Grammys, and I just thought there was something about her that was very rock-star-ish, so I wanted her to be on the album. And she writes her own songs, too. So we sat her down and we ended up writing this song, and the funny thing is, the most disturbing lyrics were hers.

Ke$ha dances to her own beat




Don’t call Ke$ha a pop princess.


The singer, known for her radio hits Tik Tok, Blow, We R Who We R, Take It Off and Your Love Is My Drug, shuns labels and branding, preferring to do things on her own terms.

If her rebellious nature and strong-willed attitude is any mark of her success, it’s worked for the singer, who was once so broke she lived in a car. (Some time later, with fame nowhere in sight, she snuck into Prince’s L.A. mansion to leave him a demo.)

It was Miami rapper Flo Rida who took notice of the singer, using her as a guest vocal spot on his hit Right Round. We chatted with the 24-year-old Nashville resident, who is performing at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Bayfront Park, Klipsch Amphitheater, in Miami.

Do you like touring?

I love it. I seriously feel like I’m living and dying when I’m on stage. In the beginning, I come alive. By the end of the concert, I have given the crowd everything inside of me.

You must be tired after all that singing and dancing.

I usually don’t get to sleep. [The crew and I] are kind of like vampires, we don’t sleep until the sun comes up.

What has been your favorite moment on tour so far?

It was in Hungary. My mother, who is part Hungarian, was there. I was playing in the town square in front of 300,000 people, and looked out at the horizon and was brought to tears. There were so many people in the crowd who were singing along. It was really beautiful.

You have a very unique fashion style. What’s your inspiration?

Honestly, I have no idea what you call it. I kind of feel like a sexy hobo, like a really attractive homeless person. I’ll find crazy s--- at Goodwill, rip it up, then tie it back together. I don’t like brands.

Secondhand or not – you wear it well.

Confidence is the key! When I wore a trash bag to the [2010 MTV] VMAs, I had confidence.

On your website, you have an option for fans to pick out what kind of animal they are. What kind of animal are you?

I’m a Narwhal, a unicorn of the sea. It’s a mystical, magical creature with a big, long horn.

But what does it mean?

I’m an animal lover and advocate. I relate to animals. They operate off of their instincts instead of being told how they’re supposed to act. We should all act like animals.

It’s kind of rebellious.

I’m trying to bring a message to the youth, to be yourself. I’ve had fans approach me crying, telling me how much my music helped them.

Ke$ha Blows Up Atlanta


Pop star Ke$ha was forced to cut short the first concert on her North American tour on Saturday after her stage set caught on fire.
 
The Tik Tok hitmaker kicked off the summer leg of her Get Sleazy tour in Georgia this weekend, but the trek got off to a rough start when a lighting rig went up in flames towards the end of her performance.
 
Due to safety precautions, the singer had to shut down the show early, but Ke$ha remained upbeat about the incident and took the opportunity to warn her tourmates LMFAO to get ready for a crazy ride.
 
Taking to her Twitter.com account to share the scary story, she wrote, "@LMFAO UM. FIRST NIGHT OF TOUR AND THE PLACE CATCHES ON FIRE. THIS TOUR IS BEYOND.WORDS.ILL."
 
The singer will play more than 25 shows across the continent before wrapping up the tour in Phoenix, Arizona on September 20.

Ke$ha To Be Featured On Alice Cooper's New LP


Alice Cooper’s widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, will be released September 13, 2011, by Universal Music Enterprises. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.

The original release is an all-time rock classic that spawned a worldwide theatrical tour and pioneering U.S. TV special, and certified Alice Cooper as a visionary trailblazer whose influence persists today in rock, metal, pop, punk, theatre, television, film and much more.

More than 35 years later, Alice and Ezrin have resurrected the horror and humor for a new generation.
“This is Alice’s nightmare 35 years later,” explains Alice, “Bob and I created this character and we know how to write for him. I play the part but we’re not writing for me, we’re writing for Alice. We kept the first Nightmare album very personal to us, on this one we found more humor and we were more open. This was our world and we want to present it to the fans. The original album was my first solo album after all those huge hit records with the original band and now that nightmare is exposed, this one can be a little bit more open. The music crosses all sorts of boundaries; we went where the lyrics took us.”

There is an array of collaborators on the new album, including original Alice Cooper members Denis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith reunited on 3 tracks; global pop superstar Ke$ha, who affectionately calls Alice “dad”; and legendary Alice and Lou Reed guitarist Steve Hunter, who is part of Alice’s current touring band and featured prominently on the first Nightmare album.

Musically, the album ranges far and wide, from trashing disco to garage punk, pop balladry to a rocking number, very much in the spirit of the Rolling Stones. And then there’s the ballad “Something To Remember Me By,” described by Alice as “the prettiest song we have ever released.”

Glimpses of themes from the original album are intertwined throughout, each track representing a different aspect of Alice’s nightmare.

From the opener, “I Am Made Of You,” through the already established live favorite and first single “I’ll Bite Your Face Off,” to the surprising duet with Ke$ha, “What Baby Wants,” this album is a reminder that albums just aren’t made this way anymore.

And musicians do not play together like Dennis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith anymore.
“I wanted a ’70s feel for ‘When Hell Comes Home,’ says Alice, “and I didn’t even have to ask for it, it’s just how they play and they did it live in the studio. When they got done playing the basic track, Bob and I just looked at each other, that sound is built into their DNA. We didn’t need to go and fix anything. The way they finished was a little bit ragged, and that’s the way we used to finish songs, that’s what I like about it.”

Co-writers on various songs include the aforementioned Bob Ezrin, Ke$ha, Dunaway, Bruce and Smith, plus Buckcherry’s Keith Nelson, Desmond Child (who famously co-wrote and produced “Poison” with Alice), longtime collaborator Dick Wagner, current touring band member Chuck Garric, and film composer Jeremy Rubolino.

“That’s my rebellion,” says Alice of the more surprising guests, “I like people that don’t belong and yet what they’re doing works perfectly. I don’t care where it comes from, as long as it’s right. If you tell me something doesn’t work, I’ll work my head off until it does then shove it down your throat.”

“I think a lot of my audience is going to go ‘KE$HA!?’, but she probably wrote the most wicked lyrics in the song – we had to rein her in. I like people to know that just because artists are put in a pigeon hole, that doesn’t mean that’s what they are. Give people a little room.”

With Steve Hunter, one of rock’s great guitarists, added to the band’s lineup of guitarists Damon Johnson and Tommy Henriksen, bassist Chuck Garric, and drummer Glen Sobel, Alice has been tearing up venues worldwide on his 2011 “No More Mr. Nice Guy” tour.

Alice gave fans an up close and highly personal experience in June with a surprise performance at London’s legendary 100 Club, when actor Johnny Depp joined the band on guitar. Alice showcased the powerful band that had blown away the Download Festival crowd the previous weekend.

This year, the original Alice Cooper group was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and Alice was honored with both the Kerrang! Icon Award in the U.K. and the Revolver Golden God Award in the U.S.
