kesha-seventeen-magazine-november-2010Kesha appears on the cover of the November 2010 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about how some people don’t get her.

I accidentally read a review, and it was really positive, but at the end it said, ‘We don’t really know if she has the best voice.’ Which is bulls—! That’s the one thing I’m most confident about. I don’t have the best body in the world, but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice. It really bummed me out that somebody didn’t see that, and then I got upset. But it just made me realize that this is an unveiling process; it’s just going to take time. I’m just proving myself to people.

One of my favorite moments of my life was recording with Iggy Pop. He’s like a god to me. I love him. He’s the epitome of punk rock. So, I really want all my fans to listen to that and I hope you like it.

I’m all about standing up to gay/lesbian/transgender bullying, but it’s also about my little brother. He’s 13 and he gets made fun of because he has a stutter. I just have zero tolerance for people making fun of others.

Timber

Single Release0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Timber, featuring Ke$ha, from his album,  Global Warming: Meltdown. Pitbull says that the use of a harmonica on the song was fueled by Avicii’s  single, Wake Me Up:

I’ve been all around the world touring and it was a record from Avicii that was so big and had this country feel to it. This record came down produced by Dr Luke, Cirkut and Sermstyle, and I said, ‘Man I need to get my hands on that’. And being on tour with Ke$ha, we hit it off, and what better than to have a crazy, sexy, cool, beautiful woman on it with me?

Seacrest interviews Kesha during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her new boyfriend.

I do, not like physically covered in dirt, but I just like them to be beardy and long hair and look like a little homeless. I like guys who look like they don’t groom themselves. I’m not into guys who are very high-maintenance. I don’t want them to take longer to get ready than me.

Sues producer for sexual assault

0 Comments

Kesha files a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, her producer of ten years, for sexual assault and battery. She alleges that Dr. Luke sexually, verbally and emotionally abused her, as well as forced her to use drugs and alcohol. Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos:

This lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for ten years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke. The facts presented in our lawsuit paint a picture of a man who is controlling and willing to commit horrible acts of abuse in an attempt to intimidate an impressionable, talented, young female artist into submission for his personal gain. Kesha is focused on moving her life and her career beyond this terrible time.
