.Ke$ha Smells Like A Shrimp In A Diaper

Kesha wants to create a `Saturday Night Live` sketch based on the fact her friend says she smells ``like shrimp in a diaper``.


Kesha smells like "shrimp in a diaper".

The `Tik Tok` singer is set to appear on US TV show `Saturday Night Live` tomorrow (17.04.10) and admits she has been thinking up ideas for sketches, including one based around a recent insult she received.

She explained: "I have some ideas. I don`t know ... it hasn`t been confirmed or denied yet if I`ll appear in a sketch, so I can`t say for sure. But I would love to do something funny," she revealed to MTV News on Thursday (April 15) during show rehearsals.

"But one idea was someone recently told me I smell like shrimp in a diaper, so I thought I could do a perfume skit about me with my eau de perfume being a shrimp in a diaper. It`s very sensual."

Ryan Phillippe is guest-hosting the show and Kesha is hoping they will be scripted to appear together.

She added to MTV News: "We bonded. You can say that. I mean, that would be ideal to star in a sketch together. I hope that happens."

Ricky Martin Naked For Tour Promo VIDEO  
                 
 
The former Menudo star — who sashay shanted out of the closet to the surprise of absolutely no one earlier this month — sent out a link to this risque promo video for his 2007 “Black & White Tour” to his followers on Twitter this week.

The two-minute video is titled “My Skin Talks” and “aims to act as a metaphor for Ricky’s reawakening,” according to London’s Daily Mail.

The Puerto Rican star, now 38, admits “fear and insecurity” made him keep quiet about his sexuality for much of his nearly 30 year career. In the vid, digital tattoos emerge on Ricky’s skin, baring inspirational messages in Espanol such as “Find Yourself,” “Forgive,” and “Change Your life.”

Hilary Duff: `I Want To Judge American X Factor`

Duff: `I Want To Judge American X Factor`

HILARY DUFF is refusing to deny reports she has been offered a judging role on SIMON COWELL`s THE X FACTOR, but insists she`d love to team up with the music mogul when he launches the U.S. reality show.

Cowell is quitting American Idol next month (May10) so he can concentrate on bringing his hit British talent show to the U.S. - and pop star/actress Duff has been among the names mentioned as possible panelists.

In a taped interview, which will air on Friday`s (16Apr10) Ellen DeGeneres show, the So Yesterday singer admits she`s heard the rumours about her taking on a judging role and reveals she up for the challenge.

Duff says, "I would totally do it."

Her only reservation would be having to tell untalented people to quit chasing their dreams: "It`s got to be hard to judge people to their face."
