Cher on Cher

Cher on Sarah Palin: “I got so obsessed with [C-SPAN] that it was kind of interfering with my life. Sarah Palin came on, and I thought, Oh, fuck, this is the end. Because a dumb woman is a dumb woman.” Cher on Arizona governor Jan Brewer: “She was worse than Sarah Palin, if that is possible. This woman was like a deer in headlights. She’s got a handle on the services of the state, and I would not let her handle the remote control.”
Cher on getting old: “I think Meryl [Streep] is doing it great. The stupid bitch is doing it better than all of us! But I don’t like it. It’s getting in my way. I have a job to do, and it’s making my job harder. I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, ‘Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!’ At some point you will need the strength. Who would have ever thought you would get this old?”
Cher on paying taxes: “I would be willing to pay a lot more taxes, because I make a lot more money, but I don’t want to give them more to just fuck things up more. It really should fall on people like me to get together and do things to help the people in this country. If you’re not worrying about how to put food on your table, you [should be] worrying about why other people don’t have food on their table. I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.”
Cher on Chaz: "If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and fucking rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am—a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn’t imagine it. She’s a very smart girl—boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are fucked. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him.’”

The Bono Boner

U2's lead singer spent the better part of the past week denying claims that he's now a woman after a series of newspapers ran headlines such as "Bono Has Sex Change." The news was in reference to Chastity Bono, manly daughter of Cher, not the frontman for the legendary rock outfit.

Outrageous OctoMom

A videotape of Nadya Suleman delivering her eight children in a California hospital is available for upward of $1 million, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
The tape was made with the mother's consent, although it's unclear who was running the camera, TMZ said. The site quoted multiple sources as saying the tape was being shopped.
The unemployed Suleman, 33, could certainly use the cash for her family of 14. She delivered the octuplets on Jan. 23 after undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Although she has yet to reveal the identity of the sperm donor dad, Suleman - in a blog for RadarOnline.com - says all eight kids will eventually learn his identity.

Cher Seizure

A Welsh man who played his Cher albums too loud has been fined and had his music equipment and CDs "seized and destroyed" by authorities:
While Karl Wiosna was upset about the seizure and fine, he seemed most angry at being characterized as a Cher fan. "I didn't play the music that loud, he said, "...and it wasn't just Cher, I used to play heavy metal as well."
For weeks, Wiosna had been enjoying Cher – and, er, heavy metal – in his home. And he had been driving his neighbors batty. 'A legal notice under the Environmental Protection Act was served on Wiosna demanding he reduce the volume or stop playing music,' explained a Council statement. 'Just a week after the legal notice was received, officers were called to the address during an out-of-hours emergency by a neighbor...Environmental health staff in the front room of the property next to Wiosna's could hear the music so clearly they could pick out the lyrics.

Hits, Glitz and Tremendous Tits

Bette Midler's The Showgirl Must Go On, a 90-min. workout session officially opened in Las Vegas and will play five times a week, 20 weeks a year.
The other two headliners who will sport on the Coliseum stage when Bette's resting will be Elton John and Cher. "Me, Elton and Cher," Bette says of Caesar's year-round headliners, as a 1975 photo of the three flashes on the rear screen. "Does it get any gayer?"
Midler has come a long way since she was the gay guys' pin-up girl at the Continental Baths in Manhattan. She's 62 now, and her fans have matured with her. "Thirty years ago my audiences were on drugs," she confides. "Now they're on medication."
