It was a Times Square celebration filled with revelers, confetti, Kathy Griffin going down on Anderson Cooper and music.

A whole lot of music.

Justin Bieber went acoustic; Hammer and Psy went Gangnam Style; Taylor Swift went red; and a trio of other artists also took to the New York City stage.

Watch Carly Rae Jepsen, Brandy and Pitbull in action at the event now:

With Kim Kardashian pregnant, all other celebrity gossip news has been shoved to the backseat at the moment.

But let's not forget to send congratulations to Brandy Norwood, as this singer is engaged to Ryan Press. And she has the bling to prove it.

Check out the happy couple now:

Ryan Press and Brandy Norwood

Brandy, of course, is the sister of Ray J... who had intercourse with Kim Kardashian on video... which led to that large-breasted brunette becoming famous.... which eventually hooked her up to Kanye West.

Darn. It really does all come back to Kim.

The sister of the man who made Kim Kardashian famous will play a key role on 90210 next season.

Brandy Norwood, who got her big break on UPN's Moesha and who has been starring in a VH1 reality show with brother Ray J, will come on board The CW hit this fall as Marissa Jackson-Lewis, a liberal politician running for congress in California.

Insiders describe the character as a "cross between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama." Hmmm... we wonder how they came up with those descriptions.

Brandy has appeared on Dancing with the Stars and told the world in 2010 that she hasn't had sex in a long time.

Fresh off her stunning elimination from Dancing With the Stars, which airs its final performances of the season tonight, Brandy stepped out for the AMAs Sunday.

Despite the fact that she clearly should be competing for the title and not watching with us tonight, her sparkly pants brought a little of the Mirror Ball with her.

A frontrunner from day one, Brandy was stunned at her elimination from Dancing With the Stars last night. So was everyone else, including her competition.

The singer and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are the latest casualty of Bristol Palin's absurd run to the finals. When Brandy said "I'm in a lot of shock," she wasn't alone.

Said Jennifer Grey of her toughest adversary this fall, "Brandy's just been amazing. She's done such a beautiful job each week, she's such an amazing dancer."

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Brandy deserved better after this week.

"I was shocked, but this show is so unpredictable," added Lacey Schwimmer, who earned the third finals spot along with her underrated partner Kyle Massey.

"We are going to miss Brandy so much because she's a great friend and such a big supporter. But we're happy for Bristol because she's great, too. So sweet!"

Brandy may be shocked, but she's saying all the right things ...

WTF. There's no other intro we can muster right now.

It's not anything new that Dancing With the Stars is more about popular support than technical merit, especially with mediocre, middle of the pack performers. But at some point, you'd assume the better dancers would be rewarded.

You'd assume wrong, apparently. Bristol Palin will be joining Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey in next week's finals, with a deserving Brandy on the sidelines.

Somehow, Brandy and Maks will be watching, not dancing in the finals.

No sooner had we talked about how Palin's run personally irked Maksim Chmerkovskiy than he and Brandy got the boot Tuesday, despite great dancing Monday.

A record-high number of votes made it happen, too.

"One thing that I love, for my family, the choice they made to come to this country," said Ukrainian-born Maks, taking the high road, "the fact that people vote and voices count. I love that this show represents that, the people's choice."

"I don't regret a second of the last five years of my being on the show and definitely not a second of me being on this season. It's been an amazing journey."

Uhhnh, did Maks just pseudo-quit Dancing With the Stars?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy may be surly, blunt, critical and not politically correct, but it's just because he's a serious competitor who wants to win. Period.

Despite being demonstrably outclassed by the field week in and week out, Bristol Palin is still waltzing and spinning. Which has Maks' head spinning.

The fact that Bristol the Pistol is even in the top four on Dancing With the Stars has reportedly rankled Chmerkovskiy, who's partnered with Brandy.

Bristol Palin's surprisingly long stint on Dancing With the Stars has captivated millions. Do not court Maksim Chmerkovskiy among those millions.

“Maksim is very emotional and takes this show very seriously, if you haven’t already seen. He really wants to win,” a source says of the Ukrainian pro.

“He works extremely hard and finds it depressing when people he thinks aren’t worthy of their current position get further then they possibly should.”

He and Brandy are both so competitive and hungry, tensions often rise between them - and they're allies. Imagine how he feels about Bristol Palin.
