Her pop/rock-based second studio album, "M!ssundaztood" was released in 2001 and is her biggest seller to date, featuring the chart-topping hits "Get The Party Started" & "Just Like a Pill".

After a brief break from music, she returned in 2006 with her fourth album "I'm Not Dead" that spawned six hit singles including "Stupid Girls", "Who Knew" & "U + Ur Hand". Her fifth album, "Funhouse" was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What".
| Pink on where her acting career is heading: "I really enjoyed doing Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle but I’m much more interested in doing dark or arty independent movies than big blockbusters right now. I think Tarantino and Scorsese are both fantastic but my dream director would be Clint Eastwood. He doesn’t rush scenes in order get to the action, he takes his time and really develops his characters and scenarios. Million Dollar Baby is just incredible." | VITAL STATS | | Eye color: Blue | | Height: 5"4 | | Nickname(s): "I have like eight nicknames: Fat Mama, Cheesecake, Chichi Marie, Chich, Leash, and Ali.

P!nk admits that it felt as “scary” as it felt “great” to reach new depths of vulnerability on such tracks as “Please Don’t Leave Me,” a painfully honest love song disguised by upbeat, cheerful, and happy instrumentation with sing-along “da da da da”s in the background,
“It’s like letting down the armor and admitting I’m human. I’m a girl. We all want to be loved and love. That’s all we want,” she explains. “‘Please Don’t Leave Me’ is also kind of funny though. It’s like, ‘Okay, I’m an asshole, but love me anyway.’ I’m trying to be better. We’re all a work in progress." | | |
