It's been awhile since we've seen Ke$ha strutting her stuff, but after seeing these latest photos from V Magazine's American Issue, it was definitely worth the wait!

The 25-year-old "Tik Tok" singer, wearing red, white and blue for her patriotic spread, is talking about who she'd like to collaborate with on future albums. Ke$ha tells the mag:

"The range of artists I want to work with is so vast, it's bizarre. I would love to have Keith Richards on the record. I would sure as hell like to do a collaboration with Bieber and at the same time do a song with the Flaming Lips."

Diverse, indeed. You go, girl!

The women brought out the big guns when it came to fashion at the 2nd annual amfAR Inspiration Gala at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Jennifer Hudson looked beyond svelte in her little white dress, while Heidi showed off her sexy back in a gorgeous baby blue gown.

Courtney Love and Ke$ha also glammed it up in black and white. Ms. Love cleans up well!

The annual event is dedicated to supporting AIDS research, treatment education and HIV prevention So far, the organization has invested more than $300 million in AIDS related programs and research.

Palms Resort Casino

Ke$ha put on a killer show at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The pop sensation loves Vegas so much that she partied the night away at Bang! Tuesdays inside Moon Nightclub.

We're told the "Blow" singer chilled with a group of friends in the VIP booth drinking Ketel One Vodka all night long. Holla!

Britney Spears is freshening up her music with a little help from her friends. After recently remixing "S&M" with Rihanna, Brit is giving her fans a new version of "Till The World Ends."

Ms. Spears' touring partner Nicki Minaj is lending some quirky lyrics to the catchy beat. Check out these lyrics:

"Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried."

Um, ok. Also featured in the remix, the song's writer Ke$ha. With these three artists, there's never a dull moment.

Listen to the "S&M" remix ... after the jump.

We all know Ke$ha's a little rough ... her hair's kinda matted, she brushes her teeth with Jack, her clothes usually look a little, uh ... unwashed. But even though K looked a bit scruffy yesterday in New York, she kinda looked better than usual!

With a metallic tunic top, leggings and cowboy booties, girlfriend almost looked ... dare I say it ... cute!

Though the studded belly bag's a bit much. For every fashion "Do" on Ke$ha, there's always at least one fashion "Don't!"

Ke$ha has a unique idea on how to celebrate her and Britney's chart-topping singles "Blow" and "Till the World Ends" -- by "skinny dipping" together!

Ke$ha says the naked swimming would ideally take place at a big bash they'd throw together. "It would be a dress-up-like-Ke$ha-or-Britney party," the singer said. "Either her place or my place, it doesn't matter."

The LA native, who recently moved into a tricked-out crib in Nashville, suggests her new pad would be the perfect place for a little nude swimming party. "I have a small, salt-water pool that has laser beams in it and a stereo so you can be under water listening to music."

Although Ke$ha and Britney may not know each other personally, they do have a pretty interesting connection -- see what it is ... after the jump!

Ke$ha has decided to postpone her upcoming concerts in Japan due to the tsunami disaster.

The pop star released the following statement:

"My heart is with Japan right now through this disaster and these hardships. I genuinely don't think right now would be appropriate timing for me to perform in Japan given the content and the spirit of my show, which is all about feeling exuberant, rowdy, and wild.

I plan to bring my party there and to that part of the world when we are all ready to dance and Get $leazy together again. In the meantime I am going to do everything I can to help relief efforts and I encourage everyone in the world to do the same."

Kesha's Get $leazy tour had four scheduled shows in Japan. The rescheduled dates have not been announced.

Who knew Avril Lavinge was a Ke$ha fan? The 26-year-old punk princess performed the Blow singer's hit song Tik Tok while stopping by BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.

Avril, who was there to promote her new album Goodbye Lullaby, tweeted the following after the performance:

“Thank you to my little black stars for being up so bright and early with me to support the #Goodbye Lullaby release."

Also in the mood to sing someone else's song ... Katy Perry. While on her California Dreams Tour, Russell Brand's wife covered Lady Gaga's Born This Way. Love this acoustic version!
