Leaving little to the imagination in a sheer, sparkly bodysuit, multiple-nominee Pink sang "Glitter in the Air" – ahem, live – while spinning from silk drapes suspended high above the 2010 Grammy Awards stage. "I thought ... I was going to fall on my nude butt," she said after the performance. "But I worked it out. I would say that no one ever has another excuse to lip sync again."

In June 2005, Pink took her marital status into her own hands by proposing to motocross star Carey Hart at the Pro 250 class finals in Mammoth, Calif. As he entered the third lap of the race, she held up a pit board that read, "Will You Marry Me?" followed by one that said, "I'm serious!" when Hart failed to pull over. Six months later, the couple tied the knot on Jan. 7, 2006.

No one was safe when Pink set her satirical sights on Hollywood starlets in her January 2006 video for "Stupid Girls." Pink gleefully mocked Jessica Simpson (for her soapy "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" video), Paris Hilton (for her night-vision sex tape) and scores of other "paparazzi girls" in the clip. "I live in L.A., so it's obvious what I'm surrounded by," Pink told MTV.com.

After repeatedly trying for a baby, Pink's dreams of motherhood are finally fulfilled when she welcomed daughter Willow Sage on June 2. "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," she wrote on her Web site in January. "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." Now that's a rockin' mom!
