Pink still rocks. While (mostly) lacking the painfully funny anti-starlet satire of “Stupid Girls,” the new video for her single “So What” takes another well-deserved jab at Jessica Simpson (a waiter gives Pink’s table to Jess). But she’s not only taking on other celebs: This time she’s making fun of her own split with Motocross legend Carey Hart, or at least the break-up histrionics the tabloids demand. In fits of post-conjugal madness, Pink rides a lawnmower down a freeway, cuts down a tree with “Alecia + Carey” carved into it (Alecia is Pink’s real name), dances nude on a red carpet to Jacko’s Thriller choreography (I can’t believe nobody’s done this for real…yet), and finally throws herself into an apocalyptic pillow fight. Hart’s subdued appearance suggests that he and the punk diva are handling their real-life split with more grace than Pink’s video alter ego would suggest. Pink is that most rare of Hollywood gems: a pop star with self-awareness!
What do you think of the single? And are you psyched for Pink’s return?
Yeah…so what about sums it up. She’s riding the “I hate Carey” wave longer than Alanis did the “I hate Dave” wave.
their chemistry together is pretty fantastic. i wonder what happened.
I’m guessing he got tired of dating an obnoxious, foul-mouthed, skanky she-male.
His ex was much nicer, cuter, and cleaner.

I LUV Pink! I’d be sick of all the self-referential mockery if she didnt make great pop songs as well – which she does brilliantly – so she can do whatever she likes, as far s I’m concerned.
Great song, good on her for having the sense of humour to poke fun at the whole tabloid/celebutard subculture.
In all fairness, I did like the concept/execution of “Stupid Girl”. Pink personally is just a little rough for my taste.
Pink is one of the most underrated pop musicians and has been for years. (How “Who Knew” wasn’t even nominated for a Grammy, I’ll never know!) I didn’t like her new single at first. But I fell in love with it when I watched the video. Not only is the song amazing and yes, self-aware, and it’s also real and human. She’s saying “So what” about her divorce like a lot of celebs do after something bad happens, but her actions definitely show how not fine she really is. I love that she’s hilarious and viscerally honest at the same time. Hopefully people in the U.S. will finally take notice of her incredible talent.
K-
I totally agree with you. Can’t wait for the new album!
I love that bad ass girl. The video is hilarious, and at the same time, awwww! I just want to hug her. Except she’d probaby kick my ass.
i love this song and video! Pink is so underrated. i love her voice, have for years.
Haven’t seen the video or heard the song, but I don’t care. Pink is on my “I’ll always buy their album” list. She rawks in every way. Love her.
Finally, while the rest of the pop world thinks we need a dozen singing Paris Hiltons, Pink realizes what we really want and need is Joan Jett. Sweet.
I needed this song four months ago!
I absolutely love PINK, she has a lot of talent and her music is amazing. She’s just different and for some reason Americans hate on different.
Loved the JSimpson comment!
Hubby and I saw her when she opened for Justin Timberlake and we were blown away! She has one of the best voices! Love her!
