A home to tickle Pink

R&B pop singer Pink has purchased a Sherman Oaks home for close to its $2.2-million asking price.

Pink, who sings the theme song in the upcoming movie "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," bought a four-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot home with a pool.

The Mediterranean-style villa was built in the '40s and updated recently. It has a new kitchen, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a two-story entrance and a master suite with a balcony.

Pink, 23, also filmed the video for "Feel Good Time," the theme song to the "Charlie's Angels" movie, which is due out June 27. Beck wrote the song. Pink has a small role in the film as owner of a motorcycle club.

Pink was given her nickname for the color her cheeks turn if she is embarrassed. When she dyed her hair pink, the color became her trademark. Her real name is Alecia Moore.

After releasing her first album, "Can't Take Me Home," in 2000, she was named Billboard's best new female artist the same year. A year later, she sang the '70s hit "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Mya and Lil' Kim for the film "Moulin Rouge." Pink won a Grammy in 2002 for best pop collaboration with vocals for "Lady Marmalade," and that year, she also appeared in the movie "Rollerball."

A songwriter and a musician as well as a singer, Pink became an executive producer with her 2001 album "Missundaztood." Earlier this year, in a national poll taken by Sugar magazine, the tattooed singer was named an inspiration for teenagers, surpassing Britney Spears as a role model.

Todd Marks and Lori Michele Marks of Prudential John Aaroe, Beverly Hills, had the listing, real estate sources said.

Applegate casts off Rogue's Retreat

Christina Applegate, who will star opposite Will Ferrell in the DreamWorks movie "Anchor Man: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," has sold a Hollywood Hills home that she has owned for slightly more than a decade for about $750,000.

Applegate, probably best known for playing Kelly Bundy on the Fox sitcom "Married ... With Children" (1987-97), hasn't lived in the house for a few years, since she purchased another home in the same area in the $1-million range. She has used the house as a rental, and the tenants have included a number of musicians, Westside sources said. The house was built in the early 1900s and was called Rogues' Retreat by actor David Niven, who was known for hosting many card parties when he lived there.
