Pink’s Vegas Inspiration
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Pop, New Releases,
Pink was inspired by Las Vegas to write "Walk of Shame."
The 33-year-old singer was prompted to write a song about people making their way home in the previous night's clothes following a night of revelry after a phone call from her husband, Carey Hart while he was in the American gambling capital.
"I remember him calling me from the diner in the Hard Rock, because he has business in the Hard Rock [hotel], at eight o'clock in the morning. And he was narrating for me the continuous walk of shame he'd see out of the casino, because that's just a constant in Vegas. Can you imagine being a diner employee in the mornings and the s**t you'd get to see? The shame walk back to your cab, and I just think it's funny 'cos we've all done it, and I just thought it'd be a hilarious video. It's nothing really that deep, just the regret the morning after."

Pink: Women Cheat Better
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
Pink thinks that women are better at cheating than men.
The "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" singer - who has just released new album The Truth About Love - believes females are better at covering their infidelities than guys, and get away with it more.
"Everyone's always like, 'Ah the man cheats,' but I think women cheat more than men, we just don't get caught," she said.
The 33-year-old star has been married to motocross racer Carey Hart since 2006 and although they broke up between 2008 and 2009, they now have 15-month-old daughter, Willow Sage, together and she is not tempted to cheat on him. "I have been in a relationship with this man for 10 years and I have figured out that no one can push your buttons like your mother or your partner. I have a tattoo on my wrist that says 'True Love' with Carey's name under it," she added.

Pink Wants More Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
Pink is ready to have another baby. The 33-year-old singer is desperate for a sibling for her 15-month-old daughter Willow but knows now isn't the right time to get pregnant again as she is due to begin a tour in support of her new album The Truth About Love in February 2013.
Pink - who is married to motocross star Carey Hart - said, "I mean if I weren't going, getting ready to go on tour, I'd be pregnant. I'm barefoot and pregnant in my garden with an attitude."
Although she wants another baby, Pink admitted her last pregnancy made her full of "rage," comparing her experience to the horror movie 28 Days Later: "They were infected with the rage virus and that's what I had. I didn't battle morning sickness, I didn't have cravings. I had rage!''

Pink: Life is Harder for Women
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies,
Pink thinks life is "harder" if you have a "vagina."
The "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" singer hopes her 15-month-old daughter Willow - her child with husband Carey Hart - will grow up to be a talented and valued individual, but believes it will be tougher for her because she is a girl.
"If she rebels, she'll listen to opera and hate tattoos. If she has talent, I'd be cool with it. This world is way too cruel if you're not talented. That's why I didn't get lost in the sauce. And it's harder if you have a vagina. An ambitious man is admirable and respected. An ambitious woman is difficult and emotional. There's a boys' club, even in music. You have to think before you talk. I can be loud, but I've learned you can have quiet power," she told USA Today.
Despite the problems she knows her child may face, Pink would love more kids and have a big family because she knows then at least one of her kids will like her:

Pink Wrote a Song About Butter

Pink wrote a song about an argument over butter. The singer explained how "Just Give Me a Reason" on her new album, The Truth About Love, is inspired by the small signals a person can give when a relationship is breaking down.
"Sometimes [one partner] can be like, 'The way you passed me the butter this morning, I kinda feel like we're going to be over in a month and we need to talk' and he's like, 'I just passed you the f***ing butter, what are you talking about?' and that's how I felt the song should go, 'We're growing apart, you don't spoon any more, like it's all over.'"
Pink - who is happily married to motorcyclist Carey Hart - wrote the track with Nate Ruess from the band Fun and decided it should be a duet, but had to trick him into singing it. "I was like, 'No, this is a story, this is a conversation this song' - it needs the other perspective whether it's a guy and a girl, or two girls or two guys. I came in and tried to convince him that this was how the conversation was going to go and it was interesting you know, he was like 'I'll just do the demo cos I don't know about duets,' and I totally tricked him into doing it, and I am so glad I was able to. I think now he's very happy that he did it, I think it's a beautiful song and I'm really, really proud of it," she added.
Pink Thinks She Sings Better Upside Down
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Performances, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Pink thinks she sings better upside down. The vocalist has recently been performing without a bungee rope for the first time in four years a device that was used on 2009's Funhouse tour, which featured a host of acrobatics.
The 33-year-old played London's iTunes Festival this week. "This is my first gig in a long while and I didn't know how it would go. I do think I sound better upside down. I'm finding it hard remembering the words singing standing up," she told The Daily Star.
In between the active gigs a few years ago and her new album The Truth About Love, Pink gave birth to daughter Willow. "I miss the bungee. I loved all the acrobatics so we are trying to figure out what to do for the next tour, something rad. It's amazing to be back. I've been pining for a stage. But having a baby changes the logistics of touring. I don't hang out with my bandmates at the bar anymore," the star said.
However she insists motherhood will not alter her personality: "I haven't lost my edge. Having a baby doesn't change your attitude. The new album is about love but aren't they all? I wrote it seven months after she was born."

The "Yeah!" hitmaker got the party started on the opening night of the month-long free festival at the city's Roundhouse venue with a hit packed set and his trademark super-smooth dance moves. The muscular singer may have slipped up as he performed "You Make Me Wanna," but after a cheeky suggestion from his backing dancers, did 40 push-ups for the crowd to make up for it.
The singer's set featured hits including "Burn," "OMG," "Climax," "Scream" and his collaboration with David Guetta, "Without You."

Pink is Keen to Have More Children
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Features,
The "Get This Party Started" singer - who has 14-month-old daughter Willow with husband Carey Hart - says the "fiery" youngster has changed her outlook on life and she can't wait to have more kids with her spouse.
"Willow is heavenly. She's changed the way I look at life. She's funny and fiery, with Carey's looks and my attitude. It's been amazing watching my man stumble awkwardly into love with his baby daughter. I'd love to have more kids. I'd like to have a big, dysfunctional basketball team full of them."
The pop star - who split from her motocross champion husband in 2008 before reuniting two years later - admits having a child together has helped to bring some stability to their lives and improved their marriage. "We still have our moments, but that's normal. We both come from families affected by divorce, so we have vowed to do things differently," she said in an interview.

Pink to Perform at the MTV VMAs

Pink says performing at the awards is "extra special" as she was banned from watching music channels when she was younger. "Being a part of the VMAs for me is extra special because my mom never let me used to watch MTV as a little girl. I would watch it anyway but she would also try and ground me but then I would just sneak out my window and go to someone's house that had MTV. So to be on MTV is quite ironic," she said.
This will mark the third time Pink has performed at the awards and she says it is a ceremony she always enjoys: "It's always one of the more enjoyable shows because it's relaxed and it's kind of rock 'n' roll and unpredictable and everyone is having a good time."
The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards take place at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Thursday, September 6.
