Ke$ha: I Love Blasting Zeppelin & Cat-Calling Dudes

Ke$ha: I Love Blasting Zeppelin & Cat-Calling Dudes

Check out these new outtakes from Ke$ha’s latest photo shoot for Paper magazine!

Here’s what the 23-year-old “Take It Off” singer had to share:

On transvestites: “Freaks are what make everything mildly more interesting in life but with trannies, they make me want to be a better woman. I see these men who have way better bodies than I do, more beautiful faces, better complexions, beautiful makeup, and they’re more fun than any person I’ve met in my life. They make me feel like I’m not a very good woman.”

On possibly going country: “I’m really inspired by country music — my mom wrote country music — and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I’m also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it’s really funny and I’m going to ride that train for a little bit.”

On her love for DIY tattooing: “A friend of mine told me you can [create a tattoo] with pen ink and a safety pin and I was like ‘That’s amazing. I could give tattoos at anywhere in the world at any hotel.’ I saw this hot dude recently and I gave him a tattoo sitting in the lobby of the hotel. I was just like ‘Can I borrow a pen and a sewing kit?’ I think I got an admirer out of that one.”

On being a ‘pervert:’ “I wouldn’t say I’m aggressive, but I’m a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn’t work, but it’s fun.”

Justin Timberlake & Elton John: American Idol Judges?!

Justin Timberlake and the legendary Elton John might serve as judges on the upcoming season of American Idol.

THR is reporting Idol producer/19 Entertainment boss Simon Fuller is trying to woo the both of them into doing it.

After a two-year hiatus, reality producer Nigel Lythgoe is returning to executive produce Idol following the exit of top judge Simon Cowell.

“I would replace the entire judging panel,” Nigel told Zap2It in April. “I don’t think it really works replacing one person.”

Other names under consideration: Usher, Chris Isaak, and Harry Connick Jr.

WOULD YOU WATCH American Idol if Justin Timberlake and/or Elton John was a judge?

Ryan Reynolds: Green Lantern Costume Was Made With Most Aggravating Substance on Earth!

Ryan Reynolds holds up a special JustJared.com coaster during the Green Lantern panel discussion at Comic-Con 2010 held at California's San Diego Convention Center on Saturday (July 24).

The 33-year-old actor shared a bit about his skin-tight costume: “I wear a motion capture suit because it’s actually not seen on camera. They managed to find a material that — most would agree — is the most aggravating substance on Earth. We’re shooting in Louisiana, which is pretty close to the sun in terms of the hottest place you can find anywhere around. It’s been a little bit difficult running around in a unitard in the New Orleans high summer heat.”

As for training for the intense action sequences, Ryan shared, “You’re not training on an aesthetic level. You’re training for more of a functional ability, so you want to be able to stay out of the hospital for as long as you possibly can during the shoot, but it is a [director] Martin Campbell movie, so you’re bound to be there once or twice. He pushes you pretty hard and because of that I think that’s why the action in the film is so visceral and so real.”

Drew Barrymore Covers 'Nylon' August 2010

Drew Barrymore Covers 'Nylon' August 2010

Drew Barrymore shows off the season’s sexiest denim on the August 2010 cover of Nylon, on stands this week.

Here’s what the 35-year-old actress/director opened up about:
On living with her flaws: “You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that’s not only boring as f–k, but it’s just not real… So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That’s essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally f–k it up.”

On her acting hiatus: “I had a big gap in my life where I wasn’t allowed to work at all because no one would hire me, which was great because I think you need that humility. You have to have everything taken away, or you have to have a major reality check, so that you always appreciate what you have.”

On technology disconnecting people: “Ironically, with all this, ‘We’re now more connected than ever with technology,’ I don’t think we’ve ever been farther apart. I think it’s bulls–t. Everyone feels more connected but they’re weirdly disconnected.”

On co-star and maybe-boyfriend Justin Long’s nude scene: “It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, b–ch. The tables are turned!’”

On not buying clothes herself: “I never have time for shopping. I like it…I think? If i ever do go shopping, I hit thrift stores ’cause I know I’ll find new pieces around a job or a shot. I’ve been wearing the same f–king pair of jeans for 10 years.”

The Gossip Girl actress, who turns 23 next month, shared a bit about one of the stunts she had to perform in her upcoming superhero flick. “I had to train with the rig that they invented for The Matrix,” Blake told JustJared.com. “It’s a gyroscopic rig that’s 30 feet in the air. I think it goes about 20 feet high but I like to say 50, so please spread that rumor. (laughs) It makes me feel cooler! I’m on this gyroscopic waist belt and it works towards your weight. It makes you very nauseous and you can go in every which direction.”

As for the fashion you’ll see in Green Lantern, Blake added, “We didn’t want to connect the movie to any specific time because we didn’t want to date it. So, there are very classic column dresses.”

FYI: Blake is back in New York City already and started shooting scenes for Gossip Girl on Monday morning (July 26).
