'I work hard on my legs': Ke$ha opens up about her body insecurities and admits she's not 'perfect' in new shoot

We're used to seeing her dripping with gold jewelry, dressed in crazy attire and displaying her obnoxious attitude.

However, it appears that if you scratch beneath the glittery surface, Ke$ha is just like everyone else.
The 26-year-old singer has opened up about her body hang-ups in a new fitness feature for Self magazine.

 

Warrior: Ke$ha admits that she has body hang-ups just like everyone else in a new interview with Self magazine

'I don't have a perfect body,' she revealed to the magazine, adding that instead thinks it is important to 'celebrate what you've got.'
For the accompanying shoot, the Tik Tok singer stripped down to a pair of tight-fitting hot pants, pumps and lime green hooded top and certainly exuded body confidence.
The star admitted that she loves showing off her legs at any given opportunity.

Fit: Despite looking incredible in the shoot, Ke$ha pleads that she has body insecurities too

'For me, I like showing off my legs because I work really hard on them,' she said.
'So you will rarely find me wearing pants.'
Revealing how she deals with her own body insecurities, the singer explained: 'I'm not always perfect but I try to keep a balance in my life.'
And Ke$ha admits that she refuses to weight herself.
'I stay far away from a scale because it's not about a number, it's about how I feel. I try to eat healthy because it makes me feel good.'

You missed a bit: Ke$ha arrived at the Billboard Awards last month in a skirt that flashed a lot of flesh

The singer certainly hasn't shied away from talking about her body parts in the past.
Just last month the pop star admitted she composed her hit songs by trailing her breasts along the keyboard.
'They go onto the keys and I just let them tickle the ivories,' she told talk show host Conan O'Brien.
'They really just go crazy, and all of a sudden, I have these chord progressions.'
'It started as a joke but it's produced some of my favourite songs on my new record,' she said. 'I turn off all the lights, I walk over to the piano, and I gently lower myself - my boobs...'
'Your breasts?' asked an amused Conan.
'My t--ties,' confirmed the star.
'They have a mind of their own,' replied Conan, to which Kesha vigorously nodded.
