The latest in a line of celebrities firing back at internet criticism about their weight? Pink, who wrote this awesome tweet and signed it "love, cheesecake":

I'm not really a pop music fan and I don't much care for her music, but I love the message. Women in Hollywood have been under the microscope for every little pound or piece of cellulite for far too long. If, instead of subjecting themselves to starvation diets or plastic surgery, some of these beautiful, talented women fire back with messages about being healthy and strong and confident, then more power to them.

Ladies, wherever you are in your weight loss journey, remember that we are so much more than a number on the scale. We have fat, we are not fat. Let's focus on what we can do, not just on how we look.

    I love P!nk for a variety of reasons, and she isn't lying when she says she's crazy strong. You can put it on mute, but look up some videos of her doing the acrobatics. It's incredible.

    I admire anyone who has a take-no-crap attitude like hers. She knows her priorities and is not afraid to speak her mind. Her confidence makes her more beautiful than any model IMHO.

    I have an ocean of love and respect for Pink, she's amazing. And physically, she is crazy strong and can pull off incredible acrobatics. I'm glad more celebs are starting to hit back at the media, both for body image and for the whole #askhermore thing.
