Ke$ha has been named the Humane Society International’s first Global Ambassador. “I am honored to be the first HSI Global Ambassador because my music is inspired by the freedom and primal beauty of animals and the natural world," says Ke$ha. Ke$ha is asking her fans to join her in signing the HIS’s Cruelty-Free 2013 petition. To sign up and for more information, click here.

Better than: Watching a live-action recreation of Vampyros Lesbos in Bushwick. I wandered the parking lot of the Jones Beach Theater on Saturday night covered in glitter, delirious, and hoarse. The past 90 minutes had been spent singing along with Ke$ha, a particularly hedonistic pop star whose lyrical specialty is her own enjoyment; the whole night I kept thinking of Kathleen Hanna, the OG riot grrrl who espoused "the radical possibilities of pleasure" on a 7-inch back in her Kill Rock Stars days.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling, Ke$ha's August 23rd concert in Indianapolis, IN at the Lawn at White River State Park has been cancelled. It was previously announced that Ke$ha has been selected to perform as part of MTV's World Stage program, an international concert spectacular. Due to extra rehearsals related to the opportunity she regretfully has to cancel this one show. Refunds will be made available at point of purchase. Says Ke$ha, "Indianapolis!!! I am so sorry that I can't party with you this time around. I was really pumped to cover your city in glitter.

Check out these killer shots of Ke$ha and her tour mates LMFAO!!
