And who better to embrace the iconic stars and stripes, than the girl that, in the words of Britney Spears, "brings an incredibly carefree, fun-loving spirit to American pop music".

In her interview with the magazine, Ke$ha opens up about her image and coping with fame. "I do feel like there are the pop stars of the world and then I'm like their dirty little sister, running around with shit on my face in combat boots because I can't walk in heels".

As for being famous, she says, "When paparazzi showed up at my house, it was really mind-boggling. I've found ways to do exactly what I want, but in the privacy of my own sanctuaries".

And what's in store for the pop princess in the future? "I would love to have Keith Richards on the record. I would sure as hell like to do a collaboration with Bieber and at the same time do a song with the Flaming Lips".

Beiber and Ke$ha? That's a collaboration we'd like to see.

Celebrity hair inspiration: Blondes

Cameron Diaz
 She's one sexy blonde – and Cameron Diaz works the bedhead look to perfection. Love the white-blonde hue teamed with just the right amount of bronze, and those popping hot-pink lips.
Carey Mulligan
 Texturised, young and funky, Carey Mulligan's look perfectly suits her individual character, and the caramel and honey tones kept the look even more fresh.
Christina Aguliera
 Now for something a little, well, different! Christina Aguilera mixes her platinum-blonde Heidi plait with a little splash of baby-pink. What do we think? The jury's out on this one...
Emma Stone
 Emma Stone ditched her auburn red locks and went back to her golden roots for her role in the new <em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left; ">Spiderman film.
Gwen Stefani
 Beauty-wise, there are two things that spring to mind when you think of Gwen Stefani: her bright red lips and that gorgeous white-blonde hair. She knows how to rock both to perfection.
Kate Moss
 Oh, how we're lusting after the perfectly-swept, Bardot-esque fringe that Kate Moss is famous for. Bronzed cheeks and her trademark cat's eyes complement the just-got-out-of-bed styling.
Lady Gaga
 Lady Gaga sports Rupunzel-length hair for shopping trip in Japan.
Reese Witherspoon
 Megawatt grin, megawatt blue eyes, and megawatt ash-blonde hair – Reese Witherspoon is all about the glamour factor.
Scarlett Johansson
 We just love this seriously sexy, feminine look on Scarlett Johansson. She makes a nod to the two-tone trend with her ash-blonde locks turning a little more honey-hued towards the bottom.
Sienna Miller
 Sienna Miller's red lips, sun-kissed skin and healthy-looking golden-blonde hair are all as stand-out as each other. Jealous? No!
