P!nk

Rockstar P!nk obviously wasn't born with this name. Her real name is Alecia Beth Moore, but her moniker comes from Steve Buscemi's character, Mr. Pink, from "Reservoir Dogs." I actually ran into Steve Buscemi on the street in New York before my first album came out. I had these big f---ing Elton John glasses on, pink hair and carried a Pink Panther toy. I went 'Steve! Mr Pink! I'm Pink! Because of you! I'm going to have an album and you're going to know who I am!' And he was like 'What the f--k, lady?' and just ran away from me. I've never met him since," she said.
