On This Day in Pink History… 29th April 2007, Pink attended the MTV Video Awards
Pink was nominated for four awards, and won two.
P!nk ain’t got no time for the haters.
Last week, pop star and all-around badass Alecia Moore (a.k.a. P!nk) shut down weight-shaming bullies on Twitter like a boss. After seeing some mean comments about her weight after an outing in Beverly Hills, the 35-year-old tweeted a perfect response:
From proposing to her husband to always being considered “butch,” P!nk has repeatedly broken down gender norms throughout her 15-year career. The singer/songwriter is no stranger to controversy after some rocky teenage years as child of divorce and a semi-volatile relationship with her husband Carey Hart. She’s repeatedly spoken out about gay rights, women’s rights and the power of being yourself.
P!nk is a fierce, strong and fiery woman who has paved her own path since day one of her celebrity status. She’s never apologized for being different and she’s definitely not about to start now. Here are nine P!nk quotes that prove every woman should be able to define who she is and where she’s going.

On This Day in Pink History 16th April 2006, Pink was on the set of the Who Knew music video
The Who Knew video was directed by Dragon, a team comprising Sam Bayer, Robert Hales and Brian Lazzaro. It was filmed in April 2006 in Los Angeles, United States, and it was released to the internet and to UK music channels in early May 2006. The video reached number one on MTV Germany’s top ten and on TRL Italy. “Who Knew” was voted number one on TRL Germany twenty times, allowing Pink to earn the “Golden Tape”. In the U.S.
It features a young couple visiting a fairground and going on the rides, and at one point the boy puts a necklace on the girl. The video flashes back to the boy secretly injecting himself with drugs on a previous night while the girl is sleeping. At the carnival, when the girl is playing a game, the boy walks away. The girl realizes he’s gone and follows him, but when she tries to get him to stay with her he gets violent. He goes to the back of the fairground to inject himself with drugs and breaks into a sweat. His girlfriend wanders around looking for him, and finds him unconscious; he has overdosed. She gives him a kiss, gives back the necklace and phones for an ambulance; after it has arrived, she walks away crying. The video is inter-cut with shots of Pink singing the song at the entrance to the fairground.
On This Day in Pink History… 14th April 2002 Pink attended MTV Icon: Aerosmith
Pink performed Janie’s Got A Gun
Pink has no problem with her slight weight gain, despite what her critics are saying.
The feisty pop star stepped out on Saturday night in an elegant black dress for the John Wayne 30th Annual Odyssey Ball in Beverly Hills, Calif. While Pink admits that the dress “didn’t photograph as well as it did in my iamspamspamami” she also doesn’t think she deserves all the negative comments about her size.
“I can see that some of you are concerned about me from your comments about my weight,” she tweeted on Sunday to her haters. “You’re referring to the pictures of me from last night’s (Saturday) cancer benefit that I attended to support my dead friend Dr. Maggie DiNome. She was given the Duke Award for her tireless efforts and stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer. But unfortunately, my weight seems much more important to some of you.”
Pink, who was escorted to the event by her husband Carey Hart, admitted that she thought she looked good. “In fact, I feel beautiful,” she continued. “So, my good and concerned peoples, please don’t worry about me (sic). I’m not worried about me. And I’m not worried about you either. I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off.”
She jokingly concluded her tweet: “Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake.”
The 35-year-old singer also shared how her family feels about her weight gain. “Willow said to me the other day whilst grabbing my belly — ‘mama-why r u so squishy?’ And I said..’b/cuz I’m happy baby,'” she tweeted about her daughter.
As for her 39-year-old husband, Pink wrote: “And my hubby says ‘it’s just more to love baby’ (and then I smack his hand off my booty cause we’re in a supermarket).”
Pink’s fans showed their support for the singer’s message by tweeting out their own words of encouragement and stories. One message read: “Twitter is better when @pink is shutting down the haters #trollingthewrongperson.”
