Ke$Ha has hired a glitter guy to make sure she's always covered in sparkles after her baby oil baths.

The Die Young singer has experimented with her love for glitter for years and she has come up with a strategy to make sure no fan is ever disappointed if he or she should meet her backstage before a show.

She says, "When I first started I was just young and naive and I used to bathe myself in beer and then roll around in it (glitter) and then I started getting a skin rash... It worked, but the beer was fermenting my skin. So then I started using baby oil."

And now she fills a tub with oil and her glitter guru, named Santa, makes sure she sparkles at all times.

Ke$ha tells U.S. chat show host Jimmy Kimmel, "He just kinda follows me around and makes sure I'm always covered in glitter, because I feel it would be seriously a disappointment if I was ever seen without it... When I get out (of the bathtub), his really hard job is just to make sure it's covering ever inch of my body.

"I also have these glitter cannons (at gigs) and he kind of loads and locks (them) and makes sure they burst (over the audience)."
