Ke$ha In V Magazine: Singer Says She's The 'Dirty Little Sister' Of The Pop World

Britney. Christina. Katy. Ke$ha? The sometimes controversial, crude and bedazzled singer gets patriotic on the cover of the new issue of V magazine and dishes about being compared to other female pop stars.

I do feel like there are the pop stars of the world and then Im like their dirty little sister, running around with sh*t on my face in combat boots because I cant walk in heels."

Well, Ke$ha isn't exactly helping her cause. Besides her often unkempt appearance, she recently tweeted a photo of herself urinating in public , which is totally something we'd expect from Britney Spears...five years ago.

As Ke$ha herself sings, "We R Who We R," and she's showing no shame. In fact, it seems Spears is a fan of Ke$ha, telling V, Ke$ha brings an incredibly carefree, fun-loving spirit to American pop music. I love listening to her songs when Im on the treadmill. They help me power through my workout.

Ke$ha also revealed in the cover story that her newfound fame comes at a price .

When paparazzi showed up at my house, it was really mind-boggling. Ive found ways to do exactly what I want, but in the privacy of my own sanctuaries. She still divides her time between houses in L.A. and Tennessee, living in the woods, she says, away from inquiring eyes. I have wild, wild nights there, she confesses, but my friends and I are all really private. We get f**king crazy, but youre not going to see me stumbling out of nightclubs.

Well, we already know that Ke$ha is a "ballsy motherf**ker" -- her words, not ours. She spoke to Glamour earlier this year about pushing boundaries, telling the magazine, "I know that I have balls. I have bigger balls than a lot of men I meet ... I'm just a ballsy motherf**ker. I'm not afraid of pushing boundaries. That's what you have to do to become an icon."

For more from Ke$ha, including details on her new album, musical influences and some star-spangled photos, head over to V magazine, and don't miss the new issue, on newsstands May 10.
