    Pink to wed racer beau
    Associated Press
    Multiplatinum singer Pink is reportedly getting married.
    The 25-year-old proposed to her boyfriend of nearly four years -- motocross racer Carey Hart -- during a race in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., Us Weekly reported.
    Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, reportedly wrote 'Will you marry me' on a pit board, which Mr. Hart saw while he was racing.
    The couple met at the 2001 X Games in Las Vegas.
    In 2002, Pink won a Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals for her cover of "Lady Marmalade" with Lil' Kim, Mya and Christina Aguilera.
    Mr. Hart will appear on the fifth season of the reality show "The Surreal Life," which will premiere in September.
    Group slams Simpson
    Miami Herald
    A Christian group has demanded that Jessica Simpson apologize for her raunchy new music video, reports the Internet Movie Database.
    The group objects to the pop star's risque behavior in the video, in which she washes a car wearing a skimpy bikini, especially since Miss Simpson's father is a Baptist pastor and they view her as a Christian role model.
    The group's representative, John Conner, says, "It's sad to see her ... like this. She's a singing stripper."
