Sideshow: Obstacle to Pink perfection

Pink

(Alecia Beth Moore) knows the cost of cigarettes.

And we don't mean the $6 price tag on each pack.

When it comes to sculpting her bod, Doylestown's beloved heroine and Central Bucks West High's greatest alum tells Women's Health mag, she's no slacker. "I've worked hard for this body!" says the 5-foot-3 warbler.

But hard as she tries, tobacco continues to obstruct her road to perfection, admits Pink, who says she started when she was 9. (Yikes!)

"It's awful. I hate the smell, the taste. I hate being around people when I smoke. I hate everything about it. I'm an asthmatic singing smoker!" she says. "But for some reason, I look at it as the last remaining bit of me before all of this [fame]. I've definitely cut way back."

Pink says she owes her physique to angst: "Last year, when I was going through my separation [from motocross racer Carey Hart], I was in Malibu running every day just to keep from burying myself in the sand."

If you believe the lawyers, on Dec. 11,

Courtney Love

gave up custody of her daughter,

Frances Bean Cobain

, 17, because the teen simply preferred to be with her granny,

Wendy O'Connor

(mother of late singer

Kurt Cobain

) and her aunt,

Kimberly Dawn Cobain

.

There may have been a darker side to the whole affair. First up, on Dec. 17, Love was slapped with a restraining order prohibiting her from having any contact with her girl.

Now, TMZ says it has obtained court records filed by lawyers for the guardianship asking the court to seal documents relating "to a minor and allegations of domestic violence." The documents include Frances Bean's medical records. No details have been provided. No statements from Love nor from her former mother-in-law.

What are we to conclude?

Amy Winehouse

, 26, was charged yesterday with assault stemming from a scene she made Saturday at a performance of

Cinderella

in a theater in Buckinghamshire, England.

Reportedly, Winehouse was heckling the performers with many a four-letter word. Seems she was so put out when theater manager Richard Pound asked her to switch seats, she allegedly hit him. She's due in court Jan. 20.

Beloved

Aerosmith

front man

Steven Tyler

, 61, has entered rehab for addiction to painkillers. In the summer, Tyler canceled the band's tour after injuring himself in a fall. His doc says he suffers from chronic pain from numerous orthopedic procedures over the last decade. "I love Aerosmith. . . . I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of," Tyler said in a statement.

E!Online.com's

Marc Malkin

reports that music execs are looking to gather together recordings made by late actress, and sometime singer,

Brittany Murphy

for a possible CD.

Brit's musical work includes the club single "Faster Kill Pussycat," recorded with Paul Oakenfeld, and two covers she sang for the movie Happy Feet: Queen's "Somebody to Love" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland." In the early '90s, Brit also fronted the band Blessed Soul, which she cofounded with actor Eric Balfour (Six Feet Under, 24).

Celeb news show

Abandoned

, a thriller costarring

Dean Cain

. The film, which was shot in June, still awaits a distributor, but producers are optimistic. Director

Michael Feifer

dispels rumors that Murphy was difficult on set. "She glowed all the time," he says. "I had a really sweet relationship with her. She was always on the ball."
