Earlier this week, Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj dropped their femme-fatale-friendly remix of the Spears club track "Till the World Ends." The already fun song got super-charged thanks to Minaj's cutting verses and Ke$ha's recognizable vocals.

"I'm a massive fan of both the ladies I share the track with," K told MTV News on Wednesday at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards. "I wrote 'TTWE' for Britney with [producers] Dr. Luke and Max [Martin] and she killed it and I loved it, but I just thought a supergroup of three hot, strong women could just take over the airwaves."

Ke$ha went on to give props to both the ladies. "I'm such a massive fan of Britney and I'm such a massive supporter of Nicki and a fan, and chicks sometimes don't team up. I don't know why, but I'm, like, huge on the girl power, so I just wanted to make a power girl track take over."



The remix quickly won praise from fans who seem to think the new features step up the song's game. "You know, with the three of us, I wasn't necessarily surprised [people like it] because I'm such a massive fan of Nicki Minaj and obviously with Britney I'm a fan of it, [taking] myself out of the equation," she said. "I'm just happy people like it."



So did Ke$ha (who once sang backup for Spears) feel any pressure writing a song for Britney? "There was no pressure. Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost," she explained. "So it was so much fun to put my brain in the sexy Britney Spears brain and express myself almost as if I were possessed by her."

Kelly Osbourne Apologises For Her Anti-Transsexual Rant

Kelly Osbourne has issued an apology to the GLAAD community after making some rude and hurtful remarks. Get the details behind the celebrity’s rant below. After her ex-fiance Luke Worrall cheated on her with Elle Schneider, a transgender model, Kelly Osbourne issued some nasty statements in an interview with Glamour Magazine. Talking to the mag, Kelly shared that she was embarrassed about having to break the news to her famous parents. “Having to tell them my fiance had cheated on me with a tr*nny who sold his/her story to the press [was the most uncomfortable moment]. It was so humiliating.” The singer also shared her difficulty in believing her fiance could possibly be cheating, and the news was even more surprising when she discovered it was with Elle Schneider. “Everyone kept telling me that Luke was cheating on me, but I never believed them. It’s hard enough to get your head around someone cheating on you, but when someone is a chick with a”, well you know the rest.

Justin Bieber's 'Santa Claus' Joins Classic Cartoon Clips

JB follows in the tradition of A-ha, Kanye West, Paula Abdul and others with animated videos.

Justin Bieber is not only going steampunk for a version of his "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" video; he's also getting animated.

In the new clip, Bieber hangs with Kris Claus and Topper the Penguin as they go around with various woodland creatures and have some fun holiday-themed shenanigans. But Bieber is hardly the first pop performer to go the cartoon route for a music video. In fact, he is the latest in a string of animated clips that date as far back as the Beatles and Pink Floyd. Let's take a look at some classic cartoon clips:

A-ha, "Take On Me"
The true gold standard of animated videos, this video, released back in 1985, snagged six VMAs and broke new ground in the medium. The video used a technique called rotoscoped animation, which allows visual effects to be animated over actual footage. It also seamed together an animated world and a real one, in which a man and woman from the two different worlds pursue one another romantically.

Michael Jackson, "Leave Me Alone"
Perhaps the most aggressive of the examples so far, the video, which dropped in 1989, has Jackson addressing the tabloid rumors of the day, as he rides along in an amusement-park setting. The idea of addressing rumors in videos was later adapted by everyone from Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna to No Doubt.

Paula Abdul, "Opposites Attract"
In 1989, Paula Abdul hooked up with MC Skat Kat for a video that was inspired by the classic Gene Kelly flick "Anchors Aweigh," in which he dances with Jerry Mouse. Animated by the Disney team, the video later won a Grammy for the "X Factor" mentor.

Britney Spears, "Break the Ice"
In 2008, Spears went anime in her clip from the Blackout album. The video's femme fatale is based on Brit's character in the "Toxic" video: a sexy, mysterious woman who lives fast and loose. It was Spears' idea to create an animated video.

Kanye West, "Heartless"
In 2008, a down-and-out animated Yeezy hooked up with Hype Williams. Much like A-ha's clip, it used rotoscoping, allowing West to be depressed in a whole new medium. It's the first time Williams created a cartoon clip.

As for Bieber's song, it's featured on his chart-topping holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, which features a number of guests, including Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, the Band Perry, Usher and Busta Rhymes. A version of the "Santa Claus" video will play before screenings of "Arthur Christmas: The Movie," which opens November 23.
