How does it feel to be one of the hottest acts in pop music?
I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone sometimes – I need to seriously pinch my leg. I’m like, “Am I sleeping? Is this real?”

Judging from your tracks, you sound like a real party girl.
That depends. You’ve got to define “party girl”. If you mean I’m a walking good time, then hells yeah. But I’m not wasted and stumbling out of clubs and getting DUIs. I’m not that kind of party girl. I may be blonde and fun as balls, but I’m not a moron.

Is it true you like bearded guys? Word is you have a crush on Zach Galifianakis.
Yeah, I think he’s a mega-fox. I like guys with beards and who don’t see very well. That way they can’t see any other hot girls.

Do you have a boyfriend at the moment?
No, no boyfriend. I mean, if I met a chubby, bearded man with glasses who didn’t mind being covered in glitter, maybe we could talk. I have yet to find such a man.

Yeah, you seem to really love glitter.
If you’re wearing glitter and make out with a dude with a beard – which are the only kind of dudes I make out with anyways – it stays there for at least three days. It makes it look like they’ve been with a stripper, so no other girls will make out with them.

You were in Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” vid. Have you ever kissed a girl?
I don’t remember if I’ve ever made out with Katy, but I’ve kissed some bitches in my life.

How’d you like the shoot?
It felt pretty cool prancing around like a mega-babe. Usually my shoots aren’t super sexy, but you guys got me all sexed up. This is definitely the most naked I’ve ever gotten in front of a camera before. I mean, like, in my life. Except for maybe when I was a baby.

Craziest Moments

The pop princess comes clean on some infamous tales

Robbing David Spade
“He thought I was trying to mack on him, but he wasn’t having it, so I stole a bottle of whisky and ran into the bathroom with it. Security came in, knocked the door down, and took me outside.”

Vomiting in Paris Hilton’s closet
“I thought it was the bathroom! It was Nicky’s birthday, and we went to her house. I think we danced a little too hard. I haven’t hung with them much, but they’re nice.”

Peeing in a British sink with Lily Allen
“The line was really long, and there were paparazzi outside, so I didn’t have too many options. It was pee in a corner or pee in the sink. The sink seemed prettier.”

Breaking into Prince’s house (Purple Palace?)
“In order to give him a demo, I paid his gardener five bucks to let me sneak on his property. His door was unlocked, so I let myself in. I mean, what would you do if Prince’s door was unlocked?”

Getting attacked by a barracuda
“I was scuba-diving and almost got eaten. This thing was really on my balls! They’re attracted to anything shiny, and I had piercings and was all glittered up.”
