These Celebrities Don't Actually Use Their Real Names

P!nk

Rockstar P!nk obviously wasn't born with this name. Her real name is Alecia Beth Moore, but her moniker comes from Steve Buscemi's character, Mr. Pink, from "Reservoir Dogs." I actually ran into Steve Buscemi on the street in New York before my first album came out. I had these big f---ing Elton John glasses on, pink hair and carried a Pink Panther toy. I went 'Steve! Mr Pink! I'm Pink! Because of you! I'm going to have an album and you're going to know who I am!' And he was like 'What the f--k, lady?' and just ran away from me. I've never met him since," she said.
