Ke$ha Extends Stay In Rehab And Postpones Tour Dates

Ke$ha has decided to extend her stay in rehab, and as a result she will be postponing a handful of shows on her Warrior Tour, which kicked off last May and was set to run through this April.
On Tuesday her team noted that ticketholders should consult their local box offices for refund information, and the 26-year-old singer added in a statement:
- "I was so looking forward to performing at these dates but I need to follow my doctor's advice and get my health back on track. All of your support during this time has been so amazing. I couldn't have done this without you all. I look forward to coming back stronger than ever on the next tour."
On January 3 the singer confirmed that she had checked in to rehab at the Timberline Knolls rehab center in Illinois and told her fans, "I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I've found it hard to practice. I'll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder ... to learn to love myself again, exactly as I am."
Shortly after Ke$ha was admitted to the facility, there were reports that her producer, Dr. Luke, had taunted the singer about her weight, and a source told TMZ that at one point he told her she looked "like a f*cking refrigerator." A lot of die-hard Ke$ha fans subsequently went after Luke, who has worked with stars like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, and several of them were even tweeting death threats at him! LAPD's Threat Management Unit has since filed legal documents asking for a search warrant to obtain more information about those harassing the producer.
Yikes! Think K Money is going to continue to work with Luke? So far he has yet to comment on the situation...
