Ke$ha Is Channeling 'Sexiness' Of '70s Rock For New Album

Glitter-heavy pop star tells MTV News she's going for 'balls-out, irreverent rock and roll.'

Ke$ha's already got the face paint down pat, and, during recent live sets, she's even taken to guzzling blood out of a human heart, so it should come as no surprise that, on her upcoming album, the pop star is taking things back to the most theatrical era of rock: the prop-heavy, arena-spanning heyday of the 1970s.

Ke$h revealed her plans over the weekend in Los Angeles, on the red carpet of KIIS FM's annual Wango Tango concert, where she told MTV News that the follow-up to her breakout Animal album (and, we suppose, Cannibal too) would be heavy on hard riffs and light on pretty much everything else.

"The next album ... I've been working on writing on the road, but as far as a sound, I just know it's gonna be balls-out, irreverent rock and roll," she said. "I've been pretty much in this '70s rock and roll kick and I just want to capture some of the true essence of what rock and roll is, and that's just irreverence and sexiness and fun and not giving a f---, so we'll definitely put a bit of rock and roll in it."

So, does that mean that fans can expect the likes of Alice Cooper or Peter Frampton to show up on her new album? Perhaps. Because while Ke$ha's new album is still a ways off, she's already begun calling in favors, hoping to line up a killer collabo for the new disc.

"I'm trying, trust me," she laughed. "I really would love to connect with one of my idols, I mean, that's my dream. I'm working on it."

What do you think of Ke$ha going rock for her next album? Tell us in the comments!

Beyonce/ Mary J. Blige Duet Was Meant For 4

'She sent it through her A&R people to give to me,' MJB says of My Life II's 'Love a Woman.'

Not sure how to keep your woman happy? Just ask Mary J. Blige and Beyoncé. The two divas lay out a tutorial on how to court the fairer sex with "Love a Woman," from MJB's upcoming My Life II ... The Journey Continues, Act I. But fans may be surprised to learn that the long-overdue collaboration was nearly a one-woman affair.

B initially recorded the song for her4 LP, but thought it would be a better fit as a duet with Mary.

"It was a song she recorded for her album that didn't fit her album and she sent it through her A&R people to give to me," Mary revealed to MTV News. "When the song came, her voice was on it completely and it was just amazing and I wasn't sure that they wanted to give me this record because it was so amazing."

The soothing track starts off with Mary sweetly singing, "So you think you know how to love a woman/ But I think it's still some things you need to know." As the flowery instrumental builds with a serene piano melody and accentuating horns, MJB goes on to warn that a woman needs more than material things. B turns up the heat demanding that she needs "more than sex," she needs to be made love to. From there, the song plays as a lyrical how-to. Communication is a must, as is respect, but coming home late and being a one-minute man is a no-no.

While both the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and an expecting Queen B display good chemistry on the song, a video for the track may be hard to pull off. "I'm sure 'Love a Woman' would be a single but I can't really trouble Beyoncé right now; she's pregnant and I'm sure she's doing her stuff," Mary said. "So whenever she's ready, if she's ever ready, I'm ready and it'll be great."

Should MJB and B shoot a video for "Love a Woman"? Tell us in the comments!

LMFAO, David Guetta Go 'Gaga' On Dream-Duet Lists

Z100 Jingle Ball stars reveal their studio fantasies to MTV News on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

NEW YORK — Fans got into the holiday spirit early on Friday night as some of the biggest names in music hit New York's Madison Square Garden for Z100's annual Jingle Ball concert. The eclectic lineup at the sold-out event included Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, LMFAO, David Guetta and Demi Lovato.

Now, with all that star power under one roof, we couldn't help but think it might inspire collaboration between artists. So when MTV News caught up with some of your favorite acts on the red carpet, we asked them who they most wanted to team up with on the Jingle Ball lineup — if they could only choose one. And maybe it was no surprise, but it seemed as if everyone had their eye on Mother Monster.

"Probably Gaga," LMFAO's RedFoo said of a possible collaboration. "Let's do some dancing, let's do some partying, see what we can do, you know? Some fashion, come out there — it could be amazing."

And Grammy-nominated hitmaker Guetta was more than ready to hit the studio with the Born This Way star.

"Listen, I'm ready, you should ask her! That would be great, of course," he told us. "She's really a creative genius, and I told her the other day that I saw her last video ['Marry the Night'] and, again, amazing. I love creative people; it's what I live for. Obviously, she's really amazing."

But Gym Class Heroes had a rather interesting choice for a team-up, picking reality TV star Khloé Kardashian, who was one of the night's special guest hosts.

"We just want her to dance," Travie McCoy said, "be in the video."

So, would Khloé be up to the challenge?

"Do they know I don't have a singing talent?" Kardashian laughed. "They haven't seen me dance, but I love them."

While Khloé admitted she isn't much of a singer, she is a major music fan.

"I would love to sing, I have a passion for music. My dad, [Robert Kardashian], was in the music industry," the E! star said. "I used to always have to go into the studio and do all that type of stuff, so I love music. I love rapping too, I love all forms of music, but I would personally love to sing. But I can't whatsoever, so I'm not ever going to try that job."
