Pink is also known as P!nk and Alecia Beth Moore. She was born September 8, 1979, and is described by Wikipedia as an American singer, songwriter, musician, acrobat, dancer and actress.
She has been a celebrity for 10 years, famous for the things listed above plus for being beaten as a child.
The beatings became known this week during an interview with celebrity news site Access Hollywood. Pink told the site political correctness had gone too far, that her father had beaten her regularly, that she believed those beatings had saved her life, and that she intended to beat her own children.
"I think parents need to beat the crap out of their kids," she said.
Pink, whose parents divorced when she was seven, was widely reported this week to be expecting her first child with husband Carey Hart.
Choice 2: Angelina Jolie
Born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975, Jolie she is described by Wikipedia as an American actress and humanitarian.
She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and works as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR.
Jolie got a start in film alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin' to Get Out. She later famously fell out with her father for many years, but there are no reports that he ever beat her.
Jolie has six children, including adopted Cambodian and Vietnamese orphans, for whom she employs Cambodian and Vietnamese nannies so the children can grow up knowing their native languages.
Angelina Jolie can't cook but is happy to spend time in the kitchen with six-year-old Pax, who loves to cook.
The choice
We can't choose our parents, and so much of what we are is a legacy of what our parents were as we grew up. In adulthood, however, and especially, in parenthood, there are strong instincts which can overcome prejudices and guide our choices.
Who would you choose to be your mother?

Personally I think it's really scary that people still consider corporal punishment to be appropriate for children. It's just so horribly backward... and so creepy how many people agreed with Pink, calling her "a voice of reason".
The usual pro-smacking comeback is, "Well it didn't do me any harm!" but the fact is that you can't know that. There's a good chance that if you weren't hit by your parents when you were a child, then you'd be a better person than what you are right now.
Makes me wonder whether Pink was beaten because she was a badly behaved child... or whether she was a badly behaved child because she was beaten.
Interesting post Chris.

That's a clever observation and question.
