Did you catch the Grammys, a/k/a “Bruno Mars and Friends” on Sunday night? I missed it, and am kind of bummed I missed Pink singing a kick-ass rendition of her song “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” during the show. More on that in a bit.
I’ve made it no secret how much I love Pink. (I am still praying for enough of a financial windfall to be able to see her live in April.) I also think she’s a great mom to her kids with Carey Hart, 13-month-old son, Jameson, and six-year-old daughter, Willow. I’m sure that after Sunday, Pink is mother of the year, at least as far as Willow is concerned.
Pink and Carey made Grammy night a family affair, posing with Willow and a slightly cranky Jameson before heading out. While Jameson didn’t make it to the ceremony (he would definitely have been shushed by Blue Ivy), Pink’s mom, Judy Moore, came along, looking quite lovely in a beaded gown. In a photo with her mom Pink posted on Instagram she bragged, “Look how fabulous my mom is!!!” I totally agree.
Although Pink lost out on her award for Best Pop Solo Performance to Ed Sheeran, she was a hero to Willow, introducing her backstage to her idol, Rihanna. As we saw in a pic from Pink’s Instagram, above, Willow stood on a chair and was on the receiving end of a hug from Ri-Ri. Proud dad Carey also posted a photo of his little girl and her idol.
During the ceremony, Pink changed out of her multicolored, feathered Armani gown (of which I was not a fan) to perform “Wild Hearts.” Fans looking for Pink to replicate her American Music Awards performance, where she sang and danced on the side of a building, may have been disappointed, as there were no acrobatics. Wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and no shoes, Pink sang a powerful rendition of the song, accompanied by an American Sign Language translator. From the snippets I’ve seen online, she doesn’t need the theatrics. Girl can SING. Afterwards, she posted lo Instagram, “We f—ing did that! Willow met her idol tonight @badgalriri … her fav performances were Kendrick, me, and Gaga.”
She is great, and I love her “Pull no punches” attitude, which hasn’t really changed since she emerged on the music scene. It’s kind of seamlessly shifted to her thoughts on motherhood too. As she told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet on Sunday, “I’m just trying to be exciting.” She then recalled, “A woman in a grocery store told me] she enjoys me because I like to F up in public a lot. She finds strength in knowing someone is out there screwing up like [her], too.” Pink is the best – I’m sure her mom Judy is proud of her too.

I love this chick!
Me too!! Always did. And major mummy points for allowing her daughter to meet Riri (It’s be my dream too!!)
Yup! Love her!
I simply adore Pink….I love her attitude and she is an amazing singer. Her album is truly brilliant and her performance was outstanding.
Love her. She doesn’t need a fecking Grammy to be great.
Answering myself: …but she sure as hell should have gotten one.
agree with both points!
Yes and yes!
My employer has its main office in New York and a friend/colleague of mine used to work there a few years ago. He’s fairly smart but has his oblivious moments. Anyway, one day a lady came in to speak with the woman with whom my friend shared an office, as they were friends. The visiting lady and the office-mate lady went to have a coffee and a catch-up, so visiting lady left her adult daughter with my friend. Adult daughter said she worked in music and my friend helpfully observed that it must be tough making a living, it’s so good that she could be creative but that he hoped she had a side job to help support herself, especially given how expensive New York is etc. etc. Adult daughter was very friendly and polite and the two chatted for about 20 minutes until the two women came back. As visiting lady and her daughter were leaving, the daughter turned to my friend and told him to check her website after she’d left as maybe he’d like to hear her music.
And that’s the day that my friend gave life advice to Pink on how to make it as a struggling artist in the big city.
Having heard this story for some time, it was great to see the pictures of her mother (i.e. visiting lady) so I could put a face to a name!
Oh no he didn’t!!!!! 😱
I was at a friend’s shop once in our downtown and an older guy came in and was poking around and she made conversation of where are you from (they were both from England), how long was he in town, what was he up to while he was here. And he said he was working at the Civic Center. And she said, “What, like setting up the chairs and shit?” And that was the day my friend asked Robert Plant if he was setting up chairs and shit.
I’m sitting in my office silently shaking in laughter at this, trying desperately not to make a sound.
I feel like the celebrity responses to those kind of questions tell you a lot about their character, honestly. If they laugh it off or don’t bother correcting it, it tells you something about their personal humility and sense of humor. If they don’t, well…we’ve all seen how Reese Witherspoon handled that police officer, lol.
If I ever met Pink and Rihanna together, it would be the happiest 15 seconds of my life because I would promptly drop dead from the thrill of it all. But I would die very happy. Love them and their take no prisoners attitudes!
Same!!
What a Mom!!! She helped make an awesome memory for her daughter. What parent wouldnt want to see their little one, with a huge smile on their face & knowing, that u helped make that happen? Pink is an awesome Mom & I love her 😉
I’m not gonna start again about how I find it really questionable to see celebrity kids on their parents instagram and attending these shows. I don’t think it is a good idea at all, even if you get to meet their heroes (Also find it really strange that a 6 year old is a “fan” of someone but I know by now that I live in a different world completely). They did not choose this life and should not be the topic of any gossip site.
However this made me laugh: “While Jameson didn’t make it to the ceremony (he would definitely have been shushed by Blue Ivy)”. He probably would have! It’s nice to see kids behaving like kids.
I love how engaged Rhianna appears, crouched down on Willow’s level, eye contact, genuine smile. I know it sounds silly, but as a parent, you notice when someone treats a child like a little human.
LOVE these women.
I really love Pink and have for a very long time. I could go on and on about her but I’ll just say that she’s an awesome mom for making that happen, and Rhianna is adorable in those pictures with Willow. Love it!
she has always been beautiful but she is aging spectacularly. the woman is in her prime.
Interesting that this thread so far giggling about Pink bringing her child to the grammys to meet Rihanna when folks werr ripping their hair out over Blue Ivy attending yesterday. I’m sure there will be some weak excuses for why it’s all of a sudden different and not a problem all of a sudden for Pink. 🙄
I took note of what you said yesterday and thought “let’s see how that goes today with Pink” because, I am sorry to say, I thought you were exaggerating.
I apologise.
It makes me sad to realise what you said was true.
Wow… that’s messed up. I have kids that are around their children’s age and now that I think about it, I’m between both their ages! People need to lighten up. It’s a special occasion, how is it harmful that a child stays out and has some night-time fun with their parents. Usually by the time working parents get home, we spend maybe max a few hours with our kids. Let them spend some fun/quality time together. Sheesh.
I was just thinking that. Where’s all the comments about Blue Ivy going to the Grammy’s. She’s too young. Shushing her parents, what a brat. None of that on here. Beyonce needs to be taken down a peg? None of that here. I’m white and I can see that shit! Not as slick as they think they are! We see you!
Wow the tone of these comments is crazy. Folks really are racist. I’m really disgusted. Yesterday y’all had a ball dragging Beyonce and her daughter for sitting. But this isn’t getting dragged? No one can say that it’s not racism. Wow.
@Jamie15
Like I said above I thought you guys were exaggerating but in fact you must be right.
Really telling, isn’t it?
And notice how there’s not one comment disparaging Willow’s looks or making assumptions about her growing up spoiled and precocious.
Damn… I couldn’t get online much yesterday so I didn’t see the post about Beyonce’s daughter. Just went back and read some of it and yeah. Goodness. It’s straightup racism.
This is really wild. This is cute and touching, but a black family enjoying a show and a cute moment between Mother,daughter and father is all types of wrong? What’s the difference between Pinks daughter and Bey’s? I’ll wait.
The kids are going to see a show, they are there for a few hours. We barely see Blu any other time. There’s nothing wrong with either going, but we know why Bey’s child was getting the treatment that was outright irrational hatred and anger yesterday. Subjectively woke.
Or… could it be (at least in part) because Willow looked happy throughout the evening from family portrait onward and Blue did not.
Oh please. Blue looked fine throughout but you all delighted in tearing apart a 30 second clip from a child. Try again.
I’m also wondering why there isn’t a single bitter old bitch whining on this thread about how badly Pink needs to be knocked down a few pegs, or about how they just can’t stand to see her celebrated? Hmmm…..
Bitter Old Bitches only show up in posts about black people. Yesterday I wondered what the reaction would be to Pink and here it is, fawning. Casual racists are so predictable.
I love Pink! She’s got such an amazing voice.
First off Jameson is so cute. OMG!!!! That smile. He’s so kissable cute. Willow!!!! She is so beautiful. Pink watch out, she is taking your crown. 🙂 I love Willow’s Grammy dress. She’s rocking it! I agree Pink’s Mom is beautiful. I saw the story earlier on another outlet about Rihanna. I loved every picture. Rihanna is so beautiful with kids. I was one who posted lay off the kids yesterday. This is memories for these celebrity children. Parents take their kids to baseball games that can go late at night. It is not a big deal for parents to take their kids to the Grammy’s. With so many absentee parents in the world we shame those who are involved in their kids lives. I will never get it.
Corey- I also live in Atlanta and I’m feeling you on the crazy Pink ticket prices. $450 for nosebleeds!
You know what I like about Pink? She has kept that same attitude since the beginning of her career. She really is authentic.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen P!nk in concert three times, and I would pay whatever it takes to see her again…best concerts I’ve ever been to, not only does she sound phenomenal, but it is as visually beautiful as well! Pink is really one of the most underappreciated singers of this generation, she’s been killing it for nearly 20 years and still going strong, leaving her 90’s rivals, (Britney, Christina and Jessica) all in her dust.
