Songwriters, producers and artists were honored for their contributions to music over the past year at the SESAC Pop Awards ceremony at the New York Public Library tonight, including Miguel, Melanie Fiona…and Danja.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend the event, and so, attend I did.

I pride myself on owning almost every Brit Brit CD single, album and vinyl pressing from around the world, including the French-only CD single for “Anticipating” and the Japanese limited edition pressing of Greatest Hits: My Prerogative with the silver phone charm—all of which I intend to be buried with.
But here’s something I’ve never seen: A trading card included in a European edition of 1999′s …Baby One More Time, which Martin “Cherry Cherry Boom Boom” Kierszenbaum of Cherrytree Records graciously sent in last night.
It’s got some pretty amazing stats about the living legend—who was then just on the brink of breakout—including…

Kylie Minogue isn’t just a Princess of Pop anymore: she’s the Princess of Power, too.
In between recording her twelfth studio album, Miss Minogue teamed up with e-comedy series Funny Or Die to create a spoof NBC series: She-Ra—and the results are just as incredible as one would expect the Fever chanteuse playing the fictional twin sister of He-Man to be.

The Legendary Miss Britney Spears‘ issue of Shape hasn’t hit shelves yet…except, uh, in Minnesota?
Earlier this week, Shape premiered the cover of their June issue featuring Brit Brit, as well as a few teases of the upcoming issue for Entertainment Tonight. But the issue is apparently being (accidentally?) sold in some places in America, and reader/Godney stan Miles D. has graciously sent over the full scans of the issue. (Thanks, bb!)
Check out the full scans below, including the fierce spread of Boxerney, B’s workout playlist (part Fire Island, part iTunes Top 10), and glimpses of Godney’s favorite yoga poses (presumably from her upcoming workout DVD, I’m Not A Beginner, Not Yet A Yogi.) Plus, there’s a few tiny tidbits about Vegas, a single sentence about Album 8—and her buns.
Check it out!

It’s a Katy B world—we’re all just dancing in it.
Just moments ago, the UK alt-disco princess premiered her absolutely fantastic new single with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1: “What Love Is Made Of.”
