PHOTO: Pink Bares Baby Belly

With the celebrity baby boom in full swing, one star is taking the uber-popular pregnant belly picture in her own hands.

Pink posted the above photo of herself on Twitter, along with a tirade against the paparazzi. "ALRIGHT… because paparazzi of today have absolutely no photograhic [sic] skill or artistry whatsoever, and their pictures are hideous…." she tweeted on Friday, continuing, "I'm going to post a self-portrait I took yesterday morning for all of you asking to see belly shots. 3 wks of photo classes for me…" before finishing, "and I am already a far better photographer than any one of them….."

The brash pop star has revealed a softer side during her impending motherhood. After the release of her latest music video last month, Pink wrote on her website, "I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well."

She continued, "There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be."

The pop star and husband Cary Hart are expecting their first child. —ISHITA SINGH
