Ke$ha, 'Tik Tok' -- New Video

Posted Oct 2nd 2009 10:30AM By: Linda Laban



Ke$ha is no stranger to party girls. She appears in Katy Perry's video for 'I Kissed a Girl,' sang background vocals for Britney Spears' 'Lace and Leather' and, alongside her family in Nashville, appeared in an episode of the so-called reality show, 'The Simple Life,' which later led her to sing backing vocals for the show's star, Paris Hilton. Now, the 22-year-old singer has her very own girl-empowering party anthem in the electro pop cut, 'Tik Tok.'

"I just really wanted to embody the lifestyle that I live," Ke$ha tells PopEater about the song. "We're all young and broke and it doesn't matter. We can find clothes on the side of the street and go out and look fantastic, and kill it. If we don't have a car that doesn't stop us, because we'll take the bus. If we can't afford drinks, we'll bring a bottle in our purse. It's just about not letting anything bring you down."

From Tom Cruise to Paris Hilton and beyond, if a celebrity winds up on 'South Park,' chances are it ain't gonna end well. We've compiled the best (and foulest) celeb moments on the cartoon that just doesn't quit being ridiculously offensive and, yep, we'll admit it ... hysterical. Kanye video below, many more after the jump! (WARNING: Explicit)

Posted Aug 19th 2009 9:01AM By: PopEater Staff



Heiress/actress Paris Hilton will not have to pay $8.3 million in damages for inadequately promoting her 2006 movie 'Pledge This!' a Miami court decided.
