25. Pink

Well, obviously Pink isn't really called Pink. She's quite well known by her real name these days as well because she doesn't make any great secret about it. She's Alecia Beth Moore. Younger fans might know her as the blonde superstar who's successfully combined pop, rap and rock and ballads over the course of her long career, but if you were around for the start of her career, you might remember that she used to have bright pink hair; it was her trademark when she released 'Most Girls' in 2000. So, was she simply named after her hair?

Actually, it was the other way around. She was a girl who tried every passing fashion when she was at school; in the same way that her music range has been eclectic, she was a skateboarder, a hip-hop fan and a raver, all at the same time. It earned her the nickname 'Mr. Pink', after the 'Reservoir Dogs' character.
