CBS announced today that P!nk is hosting the Tonys, the award show that is dedicated to Broadway, something she has never done. So, I am completely confused as to why they asked her over a Broadway star like Jonathan Groff, Andrew Rennells, or Alan Cumming.
Even the singer was confused, “When I was asked to host @thetonyawards, my first question was — don’t you need to have been on Broadway for this?” I guess not.
“We are thrilled to welcome the incomparable P!NK as the host of this year’s Tony Awards – a fearless artist whose powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence and undeniable authenticity embody the very spirit of live performance and theater,” said executive producers Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall and Jack Sussman. “A passionate fan of Broadway, she brings a genuine love for the art form alongside her bold creativity and deep connection to audiences around the world, and we know she will deliver a fresh, dynamic energy to Broadway’s biggest night!”
I don’t doubt that she will bring a dynamic energy to the show. I just don’t get why they didn’t ask someone who has done theater to do it. But that is me.
The Tonys will air on June 7th, and I expect Keanu Reeves to be nominated.
We know P!NK as P!NK, but her birth certificate reads, “Alecia Beth Moore.” However, that was not how Alecia was supposed to be spelled.
Her mom and dad were planning on going with Alicia, but there was a typo on the legal document, and her parents could not be bothered to change it. Therefore, she became known as Alecia to the government, teachers, and everyone else until she took on her stage name.
No wonder the “I” in P!NK is an exclamation point. She has a problem with I’s being her name.
This revelation came about when she was hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show, and she was interviewing Nate Bargatze. She asked him if his parents did the same thing because “Nathanael” also appears to be spelled incorrectly.
Nope, his parents went with that spelling because that is how it is written in the Bible. Whoops.
P!NK was going about her day, celebrating yesterday’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination, when she found that she and Carey Hart were separated from People magazine. This was news to her and their two children, Willow, 14, and Jameson, 9.
So instead of saying “so what”, she went on social media to say, “So fake news. Not true. Fucking hate that term.” And by the video, you can tell that she also hates the rumor.
P!NK and her husband met in 2001 at the X Games in Philadelphia. They got engaged in 2005 and celebrated their 20th anniversary in January.
The two publicly split in 2008 and got back together a year later.
PINK’s response to the news is why she will always be a Rock Star!
Every year, when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces their nominees, I am like, “WTF are they thinking?” This year, I am shocked to say they did a good job on who they nominated for 2026.
Who are the nominees? They are: The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, Billy Idol, INXS, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, New Edition, Oasis, P!NK, Sade, Shakira, and Luther Vandross.
I hope they induct Phil Collins because I am not sure how much longer he has. I know that sounds bad. But they missed out on inducting The New York Dolls when one of them was still alive.
They also better induct Billy Idol because the people spoke last year, and they wanted him. And they are going to want him again this year.
When it comes to the rest, Sade is the only one who I think is not worthy.
Who do you think should join the Hall of Fame this year?
