Pink Gets All Mushy About Her Baby To Be

P!nk is preggers with her first child and will be welcoming a baby daughter into the world soon. But looks like P!nk’s motherly instincts have already kicked in and she has a sweet message to deliver to her baby to be in a controversial music video dealing with cutting and suicide (see the video below).

The 31-year old rocker explains on her blog what her music video F**kin’ Perfect means to her:

“Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well.”

P!nk continues, “I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can’t see another way. I want them to know I’m aware. I have been there. I see them. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be.”

Popeater.com reports that P!nk also warns people to take young women in crisis seriously: “Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us….I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab. It’s a problem, and it’s something we should talk about.”

P!nk, I like this newer, softer side of you. Though you never fooled me; I always knew that’s exactly what you had inside your tough exterior! Much love!

Britney’s new single, Hold It Against Me, made its debut at #1 helping Britney to become only the second artist ever to debut more than one song at #1.

The single is the first song to debut at No. 1 since Ke$ha’s We R Who We R the week of Nov. 13, 2010 and already has 411,000 downloads, the highest first-week total for any female artist.

The only other artist to have multiple #1 debuts is Mariah Carey with Fantasy, One Sweet Day and Honey.

Janina Gavankar Of The Gates Talks About Love Lockdown Video – EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

  Many actors dabble in music and many musicians try their hands at acting. Some never make a dent. Other less fortunate ones fail miserably. But every once in a while, a multi-talented few burst through the barrier and make the crossover from one art form to another flawlessly. Janina Gavankar is that fast-rising star who seems to be able to do it all.
You have seen the 26-year old Dutch/Indian beauty Janina as “Papi” on Showtimes hit series The L Word. This past Sunday, you saw Janina debut her role as a cop in ABC’s new summer series The Gates, a show which celebrates bloodthirsty vampires, hungry werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. 
But what you may not know about this talented actress is that she is also a trained pianist, vocalist, and orchestral percussionist. Her new video, a haunting, gut-wrenching remake of Kanye West’s Love Lockdown debuted six days ago to rave reviews, many calling it better than the original. AmIInTrouble.com first broke the story of her video last month and you should click here for the full exclusive story. In the meantime, enjoy Janina’s video–But, I warn you, don’t be fooled by the undeniable sexiness of it. By the end, you will feel every painful emotion gnawing at Janina in this cathartic video:
 
CelebMagnet had the chance to sit down with Janina and get answers for some questions posed by CelebMagnet readers:
CelebMagnet: What inspired you to remake Kanye’s Love Lockdown?
JaninaI was going through a dark period, and I needed something. This song was that something. I needed it, and made the video.
CelebMagnet: Which is your first love: Acting or singing and when did you decide you wanted to act/sing?

Janina: I grew up training to be a classical musician. I play piano, percussion, and I sang opera first. I realized I wanted to be an actor quite late (in high school), and it changed my whole trajectory. Music informs my work. I can’t tell you how many times I play a piano piece, or a marimba piece and have a moments when I realize what’s being said, in the same way I break down a script. The better musician I become, the better actor I become.



CelebMagnet: Do you consider yourself a minority? And if so, have there been any obstacles in your way because of it either in the music or the acting world?

Janina: I was built color blind, so I work color blind. It’s hard enough to be a girl in the industry. If I gave any credence to another obstacle, I’d be done for. I just keep my nose down and work hard. It may be cheesy, but I’ve lived by the artist code of “If you build it, they will come.”

CelebMagnet: What is next on the plate for you in terms of both acting and singing?
Janina: My new show The Gates premiered last Sunday at 10 PM on ABC. Too exciting! And I’m quietly making more music. I’m going to pick my next projects wisely… so stay tuned…
