You probably think you know Ke$ha: the crazy outfits, Jack Daniels and all that “getting weird.” The truth is, she has a whole other side to her that the public rarely gets a glimpse of. She eats well, for one (most of the time), and regularly hikes, runs or rock climbs. “When I’m eating healthy and working out, it helps me stay sane and exude confidence,” says the pop star, 26, who is bold enough to dip her body in glitter and show it off night after night onstage. Before Ke$ha hit the road on her summer tour, she spilled her healthy secrets to SELF. Steal them, do her workout and you’ll be tempted to leave your pants at home, too.

You have a party-girl image but look so great. How is that possible?

“People think I sit around and drink whiskey all day, but I couldn’t keep up on a three-month tour if I were getting hammered every night. My show is very energetic—I dance and sing at the same time and run around. Training for a tour is like training for a marathon.”

Do you listen to music?

“No, I like to be in nature. I’ve heard my music is great to work out to, but it would be douche-y if I did that. But I really love that people like to exercise to my music. I want it to bring out the wildness in everyone, and if that encourages you to be a fighter and get fit, that’s great.”

What are your biggest workout goals?

“First, I want to be a great dance commander [at my shows]. But I also want to look good when I’m nearly naked onstage in front of thousands of people. I’d prefer it to be a pleasant experience when people look at me.”

What’s your diet like?

“Eighty percent of the time I watch my portions and eat veggies and lean protein. It’s excruciatingly boring, but it makes my body happy. The other 20 percent of the time, I do whatever I want. It’s OK to sometimes eat a f—ton of chocolate!”

You work hard and play hard. Do you ever sleep?

“It’s a luxury. I usually try to get a good six hours, from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. When I can’t sleep, I bedazzle my clothes and watch The Golden Girls. I have a bit of Blanche in me.”

“I’m a bit of an adventure junkie,” says the singer, who jumped out of a plane (left) while in Sydney in 2010. (Her prejump feeling: “horrified.”)

You broke a lot of rules to get where you are. How’d you find the courage?

I’m a white girl from Nashville who—kind of—raps. It’s weird, but I’ve always believed I was put here to do what I’m doing. I’ve had to endure so many people telling me, “No, you can’t do that,” “No, you’re not pretty enough,” “No, you’re not skinny enough,” and I just had to be like, “You’re not stopping me. Get out of my way.” Some of that comes from my mom, but I also think I was born with balls.

What helps you deal with the haters?

The most important thing I’ve done is learn to laugh at myself, and I try to do that with any negativity coming at me, too. It’s hilarious how mean some people get about my silly pop songs.

“E! News” will feature day-in-the-life footage from Ke$ha.

In a bid for timeliness and the “pop of culture” that its tagline suggests, the cable network will launch E!’s Inside Track Summer Concert Series as a regular part of E! News. The effort, a collaboration with Live Nation, will offer viewers a window into the life of some of the day’s biggest musical acts.

The Summer Concert Series will kick off June 21 at 7 p.m. with footage from Pitbull and Ke$ha‘s Detroit concert and feature performances from Brad Paisley in Tampa, Jonas Brothers (Chicago), Backstreet Boys (Chicago), New Kids on the Block (Detroit), Big Time Rush (Phoenix) plus Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls (St. Louis).

“E! thrives in the music space, and we’re excited to team up with Live Nation in a unique way that takes the summer concert series to a whole new level,” said Cyndi McClellan, president of network strategy and E! News. “Not only will viewers see their favorite music megastars taking the stage, we’re also serving the super fan with unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to these performers.”

Each segment will showcase an exclusive interview, behind-the-scenes access to the prep work that goes into the tour, tour bus access, meet and greets with fans and concert footage. Additional features from the shows, as well as the opportunity to win tickets from Live Nation, will be available on E!’s website, which boasts more than 8 million unique visitors on a weekly basis and is pacing to deliver its best year to date.

Ke$ha is known to embrace her wild and crazy reputation, but the singer tells ETCanada’s Roz Weston that there is one misconception about herself in particular that she’d like to correct for the public eye.

“People do expect me to be drunk most hours of everyday,” the 26-year-old said of how she’s perceived by the public. “Not to disappoint you, but I’m not wasted right now.”

Make sure to check out the full interview below for some more details on the current Ke$ha & Pitbull tour and what she is looking to get into while she has time in every city.
