Q&A with Pink: Pop star and mom focuses on her new album, which puts her singing first

"You want a beer?" Pink asked, though she seemed more than happy to drink alone.

Standing in her cheerfully cluttered kitchen on a recent evening, the pop star had just finished a lengthy television shoot at her home north of Los Angeles and was now overseeing dinner for her 9-month-old son, Jameson.

In the living room, Pink's 6-year-old daughter, Willow - the subject of a moving speech her mother gave at August's MTV Video Music Awards about stifling beauty standards - was practicing cartwheels loudly as her father, Carey Hart, prepared to take her for a motorcycle ride.

"Don't be home too late," Pink told Hart, a retired motocross racer. "School tomorrow."

It had been a long day, and it wasn't over yet.

"Cheers," the singer said, turning to me with a weary grin. Then she clinked her bottle against mine and took a restorative gulp.

At this point, Pink, 38, is accustomed to hanging in there - and to doing more than one thing at a time.
