Im sorry, but that is bull****. P!nk is huge in Europe, UK, Australia and NZ - there are other places besides the US you know....

"Stupid Girls" - released earlier this year - was a Top 20 single and her album I'm Not Dead peaked in the Top 10 on U.S. Billboard. That may not be monstrously successful, but she's far from being a has-been.

"Im Not Dead" actually peaked at #6 in the US, #3 UK, #1 AUS, #1 GER, #1 NZ etc. and has sold over 3 million world-wide - now if someone could tell me how she is a 'has-been', I would really like to know...

And the statement 'has not had a hit in four years' is ridiculous, from 'Im Not Dead" P!nk has had 3 hit singles:

Single #1 - "Stupid Girls" - #13 US Hot 100, #4 Australia, #4 UK, #7 NZ.

Single #2 - "Who Knew" - #2 Australia ,#5 United Kingdom, #11 NZ and #8 World.

Single #3 - "U & Ur Hand" - #3 Austria, #4 Germany, #5 Australia, #10 UK and #10 NZ.

So please, tell me how she is a flop

As chosen by Rufus Wainwright

2. Stevie Nicks

Certain intellectual gay men obsess over Stevie. She is a dinner party conversation in herself, served up as a kind of hors d'oeuvre before a conversation about the Pre-Raphaelites, or something. She separates interesting homosexuals from uninteresting ones. [/B]

Kudos to Rufus!!- I love this quote, It couldn't be more perfect (esp. as it pertains to the gay community). I've always said any gay man can frivolously like, lets's say a Madonna, or Janet or lame ass Britney for that matter, but it takes a special kind of intellect and disposition to really get and appreciate Stevie!! And I love that Rufus gets that. perfect just perfect.
And yea, he's definitely is saying we're the interesting ones.

Rufus sickens me on almost every imaginable level. But, he said a few things here that had some wisdom and insight. So he isn't completely worthless.
