Danica Patrick Has No Regrets Posing for FHM

"Not at all. It was an opportunity to find sponsorship, and it opened lots of doors. You have to do what you have to do, within reason and in respect to yourself, but I don't feel one bit uncomfortable with it. I look at the pictures and I think, The girls are pretty. I had fun."

-Indy driver Danica Patrick, who became the center of a media frenzy when she became the first woman to lead the Indy 500, responding to a question asking if she had any regrets posing in a skimpy bikini for FHM magazine. She did draw the line at Playboy, saying "it's a matter of respecting myself." (Time, June 13, 2005)

Is Jessica Alba a Christian?

"I used to be. When I was a kid, yeah. One of the reasons why I chose not to be a born-again Christian anymore is because a lot of people gave me a lot of grief for just being a woman and made me feel ashamed for having a body because it 'tempted men.' And I didn't understand what that meant, so it was like God created this and if that's what you guys are saying then I shouldn't be ashamed for being a woman, I should embrace it. That was a hard time in my life. It was really a painful thing that I was going through."

Pink on Gay Marriage

"If you're a celebrity and you want to marry your sweetheart for 55 hours, go right ahead. If you're J. Lo and you want to marry 18 people for six days each, go right on ahead! But if you want to marry your soul mate and make a life of it -- and you just so happen to be the same sex -- then no, how dare you! We'd rather you just buy gasoline and support our war and continue to consume and fear in our country so we can make money off you. But do us a favor: Don't hold hands in public."

-Pink, featured on the cover of an issue of Advocate magazine that covered gay marriage. (Source: Relevant Slices, April 13, 2004)

Britney Spears Not a Sex Object

Beyonce Knowles on Hypocrisy

"God is okay with me being sexy. ... God is the main person in my life and I wouldn't do anything to offend him. People say it's hypocritical to wear sexy clothes and then sing about God -- but it's not like that at all. I obviously wouldn't wear hot pants in normal life or if I was going to church. ... I have a personal relationship with God and I don't see any problem with what I wear or how I dance on stage. Anything that I feel uncomfortable doing, I wouldn't do."

-Beyonce Knowles from Destiny's Child. (Source: Asian News International, October 15, 2003)

Amy Lee on Mechanical Pop Robots

"Britney Spears doesn't rock. She's a mechanical pop robot, OK? Basically she's a puppet. Although Britney Spears isn't as bad as Christina Aguilera when it comes to showing skin ... Christina shows a lot more. They both seem to be competing with each other ... It doesn't offend me. It's just tragic. It's really sad. ... Don't feel like you have to sell sex just to get people to listen to you."

-Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence. (Source: Steppin' Out, via Relevantmagazine.com, September 28, 2003)
