Desertdreaming 26 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Pink was in Cincinnati today for some reason. I was tuing in to a local talk guy today (he was interviewing Coach Huggins -- if you are not into college b-ball you will have no clue nor will you care) anyways...... Willie and the Segman were saying how there were actual papers given out to everyone in this building that no one was to talk to Pink, look at Pink, or acknowledeg Pink.

MercurysMaiden 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Ok...I am definitely a Pink fan.... Oh, me too. I Pink. She is the Katharine Hepburn of the music industry. She puts her true opinions right out there...and she's generally right. (The quote that started this whole thread--which I think was also posted by Bobby D--was dead-on, IMO.) As the mother of a young daughter I am thrilled to see Pink out there making fun of all of these vapid idiots like Brit, Paris and Jess. And furthermore--she has a better singing voice than any of them. (I know Paris is recording an album, but have any of us ever heard her sing? She's been recording that thing for a long time--guess the sound engineers are putting in lots of OT to make it sound as if she can actually sing.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 I'll admit, I like a lot of Pink's music. Her and Avril L. are my two favorite teenie bopper singers. As a personality, I'm kinda tired of the I'm-the-tough-girl-making-fun-of-the-other-teenie-bopper-singers attitude. Her tough girl attitude is all image, she was the meek wallflower up until she got into the industry and some stylist upgraded her image to tough girl who is misunderstood. Same with Avril too actually. But Avril is growing out of that image, have you seen her new magazine spread? I dunno, I just think that if you're that great an artist, you don't have to put down someone else as your carear move.... And certainly not a role model for other kids out there, saying it's ok to poke fun at others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MercurysMaiden 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 I wasn't implying that it's OK to teach your kids to make fun of others--I am just glad that someone out there is speaking out on turning yourself into a plastic, air-headed bimbo just to get attention. No, my kids know that the offense guaranteed to get them grounded is to make fun of other people. But, you have to admit that Jess, Brit and Paris ask for it with their antics...and it's getting their names in the paper a few more times, so I daresay they don't mind too much.

princess 1,712 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 NY Daily News Surveillance Billy Joel wasn't planning on singing "She's Always a Woman" the other night the Garden. That is, until he heard that Pink and hubby Corey Hart, who were in the audience, had played it at their wedding. Pink thanked the Piano Man with a shriek … Cute tidbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And certainly not a role model for other kids out there, saying it's ok to poke fun at others. Honestly, her video is hilarious. And I get a kick out of people who make fun of others. She's got albums to sell, and her song, pictures, comments, got us all talking about her...but not as a plastic pop star. Think about how much more relevant she became, with the "image makeover." It's worked pretty well for Madonna...and makeovers are proven to be good for longevity and respectability....And I'm glad she broke from the cookie cutter mold...and had an image makeover...she's pretty boring as another Britney/Avril Clone.I think she makes some sense. These celebrities might need to be taken down a notch...Even if she was cut from the same mold. Her messages to kids are a lot better than the messages Britney and Jessica, Ashley,are sending to kids(uneducated, marry young, no respect for institution of marriage, plastic surgery).

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 Right...So I suppose she sends the same message as Jessica Simpson(who dropped out as well) and relishes in her dumb blonde message, and Britney(mother of the year)whose just dumb all around?I disagree. Her Mother threw her out of the house and she grew from a party girl/high school droup into a legitimate entertainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerrica Benton 60 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 not everyone who is kicked out of the house (for being a trouble maker especially) will become a famous world reknown person like Pink.Rarely does a person become successful without a formal education. If a teen were to move out of the house or was kicked out they'd have a hard time making things happen for themselves finanicially. Pink should focus more on women empowering themselves through different methods besides just being a "rebel and outcasts" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 I was only saying that despite getting kicked out, no formal education she made something of herself(which should be the message above all things)...and all without plastic surgery, getting married to any yahoo that comes along.....I mean she ain't cute...or building a career playing a complete dumbass, with a stage dad or stage mom.I stick to my story...I also think my liking pink falls in the category of her not being the really attractive pop star....and not afraid to speak her mind. A rebel and outcast can be a person who empowers themself...you may not approve of the methods...but look at the results...she got a great following. And winning much respect in the business for making her video. But then again, magazines have Paris Hilton as someone young ladies look up to, so go fig...

Her Mother threw her out of the house and she grew from a party girl/high school droup into a legitimate entertainer. Well, you didn't lump Pink in with the uneducated group you mentioned, so I was just clarifying. I am one of the few who actually doesn't believe that ANY of these girls should live their lives differently in order to be considered "good role models". That's the job of the parents. As difficult as that may be in this day and age, it's unfair to put that on these young entertainers who are doing their own thing- and making mistakes (as we all do) along the way.

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Right, I see what you are saying(and I totally agree, parents should be the role models)...but because entertainers are what kids are exposed to...unfortunately, they are seen as role models...So I think they have an obligation to behave as role models...other words stop with the negative messages they are sending kids. And this brings us to why we snark here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebelgirl 1 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/s...81248&p=9378y... 3781719 Pink: 'I took heroin' 24/03/2006 - 07:16:48 Pop punk Pink took heroin when she was a teenager, but she turned her back on the opiate aged just 16 as she focused on succeeding as a singer. The Just Like A Pill hitmaker has witnessed the devastation the narcotic can cause with her own eyes - three of her close friends have died after overdosing. She says: "Heroin is a horrible thing. I've seen first hand what it can do to people and it's not pretty. I was never that much into it to need treatment. "But you name it, I took it. I buried three friends from heroin overdoses. I just stopped one day on Thanksgiving 1995 and never touched them again." And the 26-year-old insists she only dabbled in drugs to alleviate the boredom of her early adolescence in Pennsylvania. She continues: "For me drugs were just a distraction on the way to my ultimate goal, which is what I'm doing today. I found my chance and I wanted to go for it and knew I was going to have to work for it. "Boredom is a big cause of a lot of problems for a lot of people. I was performing so I wasn't bored any more. I had something to do." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pennsylvania-born singer/songwriter, 26, has fallen so head-over-heels in love with France, she is eyeing a move to its chic capital Paris. The Just Like A Pill hitmaker says: "Everyone I've met is so nice and really cool. I would definitely move to Europe. "I love France - Paris and the south of France. "There's not a lot of culture or individuality in Hollywood." What does Corey have to say about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
