In Sean's Mailbox: Pink is a hot mess

PinkThis week's edition of "In Sean's Mailbox" is really just a cheap excuse to run carouselacious cover art of Pink's new album. Funhouse, aka Alecia Moore's "divorce" disc, comes out tomorrow. It's head-snapping bipolar, from arena-size slaps (LISTEN) to big sobby ballads (LISTEN). She dissects her breakup with motorcross star Carey Hart with all the subtlety of Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Pink is the very definition of hot mess. But she also knows how to hook you.
