Just in case you were wondering how that magic happens.

Watch this new music video for “Die Young,” then show us on the doll where Ke$ha touched you.

Ke$ha is writing “an illustrated memoir.” We want ghost sex! Give us ghost sex!

So, you know, there’s that.

Here’s another single from Britney’s next album, Femme Fatale. The song’s called “Till the World Ends,” and it’s got quite the pedigree—it was reportedly produced by Max Martin and Dr. Luke and co-written by Ke$ha.

Thoughts?

You’ve been playing yourself quite a bit lately. What’s your method for becoming James Van Der Beek?
It starts with hours of preparation. [Laughs] It’s just one of those things that started happening. It wasn’t really by design, necessarily. You’re kind of lucky enough when you’re part of something that hits or catches on in popular culture, and all of a sudden people are asking you to play “You.” I try not to take myself too seriously. Maybe I’m the only idiot who gets these things suggested to him.

On this TV pilot [Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23], it’s one of the writers from American Dad, and one of the producers from How I Met Your Mother and Family Guy, and the director from Modern Family, just a great group of people. They said, “We could have you play an actor who’s [the main character’s] friend, but if you play yourself, then we get to make Dawson’s Creek jokes.” And I thought, “Well, that could be fun.”

What’s your role in the pilot? What level of yourself is appearing in the show?
I called the writer and said, “Listen, don’t be worried about insulting me at all. Let’s just go for whatever’s funniest.” It’s kind of wide open. We’re still re-writing it. And when I say “we,” I mean “she.” I’m the main character’s best friend. We had a relationship before, but it didn’t work out for reasons which you’ll see in the pilot. So now she calls me her “straight gay best friend.” I’ll be single in New York, using the fact that I was once a teen idol to get laid. In real life, I’m happily married and I just had a baby.

So you’re living vicariously through yourself right now.
I think you just blew my mind.

Hi, this is Darren from Entertainment Weekly. We were just wondering if it would be possible to get James Van Der Beek on the phone, to talk about his role in the new Ke$ha video?

Overheard in the office. More on this as it develops.

(The video in question is here. You’re welcome.)

Ke$ha - Goodbye

Ke$ha - Goodbye (Acoustic). Turns out she’s not terrible.

Ke$ha’s real voice.

SHE HAS AN AMAZING VOICE!!!! WHY DOESN’T SHE USE IT???

Because she won’t make it in the Music business. You have to dress a certain way, have catchy club music, sing a certain way and act a certain way. Do you know how many singers can sing songs like this? They aren’t famous because the radio won’t play beautiful songs like this.

Woah.

This is why I love the Internet: it takes something that you greatly dislike, and makes you kinda love it.

I hope that Popeater, entertainmentweekly and others listen to this and ask why we aren’t hearing more of this Ke$ha on the radio.

Someone listened to a bit too much Alanis growing up. 

All kidding aside, if she were to release another album under her current style then go away for a while and release an album like this, it would be huge. 

Meh… get rid of the dollar sign, then we’ll talk. (And we’re also not sold on the idea of her taking some time off before releasing an acoustic album—remember when Liz Phair tried something new?)
