Cher chats with Access’ Shaun Robinson about NBA player Jason Collins revealing he is gay. Why is she “amazed” that this topic is still a conversation? Plus, why does she think it has taken so long for a gay athlete to come forward?

 

Cher joined her mother, country singer Georgia Holt, for an appearance on Ellen today to promote the release of Holt’s new album, Honky Tonk Woman.
Though it was recorded in the early 1980s, the album was never previously released. Instead, the master tapes were lost in Holt’s garage for more than 30 years until they were recently rediscovered and remastered.
The album is a first for the 86-year-old singer and includes the song “I’m Just Your Yesterday,” a duet with Cher.
Watch the videos below to see the mother-daughter duo sing a piece of their long-lost duet as well as a bonus clip of Ellen talking to the two women about family, rumors, and Cher’s life before stardom.

 

The tabloids are saying that Chaz Bono’s mom put her Malibu place on the market for $45 million and that she’s packing up and moving to London.
But Cher wants to turn back time and fix those rumors!
The 66-year-old tells Ellen DeGeneres that she’s not moving to the UK and she’s not even selling her Malibu home.
Cher, however, does have her home in Venice Beach and her condo in Hollywood for sale.
And while she was at it, the diva wanted to fix a persistent Internet rumor. No, she is not dead.

 

If you thought Cher is a hell-raiser at 66, you should have seen her at as a kid!
The Oscar winning actress/singer stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday, along with her mother, Georgia Holt, 85, to promote their upcoming Lifetime documentary entitled Dear Mom, Love Cher.
During their chat, Leno surprised Cher by bringing up her stealing — make that “borrowing” – her mom’s car when she was 13-years-old.
Explained Cher, “I learned how to drive when I was 11-years-old…”
“I didn’t know it,” interjected Georgia in a motherly tone.
“I’m a very good driver now,” Cher added. “Anyway, actually I took the car many, many times…”

“My car,” Georgia chimed in, before Cher could proceed with her story.

“One night I was with my girlfriends and their boyfriends, and we were outside this bowling alley and he said ‘Cher, I know you can drive, I have to go do something, will you just stay outside and keep the car running?’ We were out there FOREVER, and people were honking, and I kept having to move it, and I kept having to move it, and I kept getting bigger circles, then I left the parking lot, and then I thought we could go to drive-in, and then the police came.”
“And they called me at 3:30 in the morning and said ‘we have your daughter down here at the police station’,” mom added.
Then, much to Cher’s chagrin, Leno showed her mug shot from when she was 13!
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno airs weeknights at 11:35/10:35c. The special one-hour documentary, Dear Mom, Love Cher, airs Monday, May 6 at 10/9c on Lifetime.

We've also added photos from the show. You can see it in the gallery.

LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Country singer Georgia Holt, 86, mother of the legendary Cher, releases her first CD 'Honky Tonk Woman' today. Recorded in Los Angeles in 1980 when Georgia hooked up with Elvis Presley's musicians, the country/pop album was never released.

"Honky Tonk Woman" features ten songs from the original sessions including "I'm Just Your Yesterday", a duet with Cher, plus original compositions by Georgia and classics such as "Love Me Tender", "Cryin' Time" and "I'm Movin' On".
Georgia Holt was a beauty queen, actress and model in her early life and always dreamed of a singing career. A documentary on the extraordinary life of Georgia Holt, produced by Cher, is scheduled to air on Lifetime on Monday, May 6th (check local listings). Cher will make several TV appearances with her mother and sister Georganne this week including The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (today, April 30th) as well as GMA and The Ellen Show on May 1st.

Bio Australia has released a new TV spot for the documentary "Dear Mom, Love Cher".
Dear Mom, Love Cher provides a rare peek into Cher's fascinating family history and features in depth interviews with Georgia Holt, her daughters Cher and Georganne LaPiere Bartylak, and grandchildren Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. The documentary begins with Holt's humble beginnings in rural Arkansas, where she first dreamt of stardom as a little girl and continues through her six tumultuous marriages while pursuing a career among Hollywood's elite as a singer and actress. Holt endures a series of dramatic personal and professional triumphs and setbacks but survived and overcame the odds -- no matter the challenge - to successfully raise two loving daughters. One of the daughters would live out the dream Holt could never fulfill for herself and go on to become one of the world's biggest stars. Dear Mom, Love Cher includes unprecedented access to the family and features a never-before-heard duet performance with Holt and Cher, along with the long-lost recordings Holt taped more than three decades ago that Cher has re-mastered for commercial release later this year, making her mother's lifelong dream a reality.

Demi Moore was looking great at the event as she joined music legend Cher. The two seemed to have the same wrinkle free foreheads. At 50 and 66 respectively, that is pretty amazing.

Both women wore black, with Demi going for a Valentino black chiffon pantsuit with a lacy black camisole underneath. While Cher wore a see-through cream-and-black patterned top that she paired with a black blazer, black leggings and leather boots.
Fellow big names from the film industry, Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine, also attended the Californian event, along with acting legends Harrison Ford, Peter Fonda, Kurt Russell and Kevin Spacey to wish Shirley a happy birthday.

ABC News’ Chris Connelly reports:
Cher is officially back in action!
The irrepressible one-of-a-kind songstress, who started serving up hit singles in the 1960s alongside Sonny Bono, then on her own, has ended her more than a decade-long break from solo recording.
At 66-years-old, Cher knocked out nine new tracks in the studio, tweeting in all caps Monday,” I JUST FINISHED MY CD,” marking the completion of her 26th album in her career.
The CD’s first single, “Woman’s World,” is slated for release in June.
“Another thing we’ve heard about this album is that she’s working again with Christina Aguilera and Pink and then Lady Gaga, so you know, she’s kind of reaching out to young people who are really hot in the business that can keep her image up and who clearly have looked up to her,” Assistant News Director of EW.com, Laura Hertzfeld, told ABC News.
In 2011, Cher cheered for her son, Chaz Bono, during his appearances on “Dancing with the Stars.” He has recently lost 60 pounds by continuing to dance, practicing martial arts and watching what he eats.
Next month, Cher will bring real-life drama to Lifetime with a documentary about her mother, “Dear Mom, Love Cher.”
Cher has had a number one hit in four of the last decades. A number one hit off this as yet untitled album would make it five in five decades.
On May 1, Nightline’s Cynthia McFadden will interview Cher about her legendary career.

Cher, one of the Most Enduring Divas in Pop Music, announced that her follow-up to 2001′s Living Proof is complete thanks to one last song featuring Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters (“Let’s Have a Kiki”). “Got to down & Finish last song ! Then it DONE !! Jakes here putting some parts down & a Harmony !” Cher said Saturday on Twitter, before she announced the album’s completion this morning.
Once scheduled to drop in March, Cher’s new album was to feature Timbaland, a duet with Lady Gaga (“The Greatest Thing”) and two songs written by Pink. Cher has yet to say whether her new album will still include these superstar collaborations, but she did respond to one fan who thought she had disappeared. See her response after the jump.

We started a new project "Cher Family", where we want to tell about all Cher's family members and friends. We think it will be interesting not only for new lovelies, but also for old ones. The first person we've chosen is Georgia Holt, Cher's mother. Before you'll see a new documentary "Dear Mom, Love Cher", you can read a lot of interesting information about Georgia here. Hope you like it!

Superstar Cher poses with Normand Latourelle, Founder and Artistic director of Cavalia, and performers from Cavalia’s Odysseo.
Right after the show on April 2, the superstar and her guests were treated to a special tour of the Odysseo horse stables in Burbank.
Cher, who saw the first show twice, commented on Cavalia’s new multi-disciplinary production: “It is so hard to put what you see into words. The feeling is so amazing. It’s like between laughing and crying. It’s the only time I ever saw humans and animals seemed like they are joined. They are like one being. I loved Odysseo. I have absolutely seen nothing like this in my life. Everything looks great!”

Lifetime will premiere an hour-long documentary that pays tribute to Cher’s mom Georgia Holt on May 6.
Dear Mom, Love Cher will focus on the singer’s family history and features interviews with Holt, her daughters Cher and Georganne LaPiere Bartylak, and grandchildren Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. The documentary will begin with Holt’s childhood in rural Arkansas and chronicle her six “tumultuous” marriages while she helped Cher to pursue a career.
The documentary also features a never-before-heard duet performance with Holt and Cher, along with the long-lost recordings Holt taped more than three decades ago that Cher has re-mastered for commercial release later this year.
“This project started as a gift for my mom’s 86th birthday. Like most things in my family, it was initiated by my sister Georganne, who asked me if I could update mom’s album,” said Cher in a statement. So I went big … I’m known in the family for doing that. My sister and I are proud of our mom and we want to share her with the world. My mom is exactly like Rocky. She never gives up!”

Cher has been entertaining new and old fans for five decades. She began her career sharing the spotlight with her then husband, the late Sonny Bono, singing numerous hits, including "I Got You Babe," on their popular television show, "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour." Their daughter, Chastity, underwent a sex change operation and is now Chaz. Cher also has a son, Elijah, with ex-husband Gregg Allman. The multitalented entertainer went on to win an Academy Award for "Moonstruck" as well as appearing in "Silkwood" and "Mask." Now 66, she is coming out with an album later this year and on Friday at 8 p.m. will join Robert Osborne as a guest programmer to debut TCM's "Friday Night Spotlight" series with "A Woman's World: The Defining Era of Women in Film."
Do you remember the first movie that really moved you?
"Dumbo." I was 4 years old. It changed my life forever because I looked up on the screen and said, "That's what I'm going to do when I grow up."
So did fame turn out to be everything you thought it would be?
Actually, I didn't think I wanted to be famous. I mean, at some point obviously I did. I looked up on the screen and I wanted to be up on the screen and be an actor. I just knew I wanted to sing and dance and be silly up on the big screen and have everybody sitting in the audience clapping.

TCM has added an original promo trailer for the inaugural Friday Night Spotlight programming on their official site. Singer, actress and superstar Cher joins Robert Osborne for "A Woman's World: The Defining Era of Women On Film," beginning Friday, April 5th at 8pm ET.

All photos from the promo trailer you can see here.

Cher, the Oscar®, Emmy®, Grammy®, Cannes Film Festival and three-time Golden Globe® award winner is set to be the first host of Friday Night Spotlight, a brand new film showcase launching April 5th on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). TCM host Robert Osborne will join Cher to kick off the franchise with A Woman's World: The Defining Era of Women in Film, a collection of 17 films handpicked by Cher to illustrate the evolving roles of women from the late 1930s to the early '50s. Each month thereafter, Friday Night Spotlight will feature a celebrity or expert host who will take viewers through a collection of films focusing on a specific topic. 
A Woman's World: The Defining Era of Women in Film will start Friday, April 5, at 8 p.m. (ET) with Cher and Osborne hosting a night of movies focusing on motherhood, beginning with Joan Crawford's Oscar®-winning performance in Mildred Pierce (1945). Subsequent Fridays in April will feature films about the war effort and life on the homefront (April 12), working women (April 19) and women taking charge (April 26). 
"Working with Robert isn't like working at all! We can't stop taking about the classics and obscure golden oldies. We talk though the breaks while they move the cameras, check the lighting and do the touch-ups. I can't stop when it comes to the subject of old films, and then I get Robert going, and then the crew and director finally say, 'Ahh Cher? We have a show to do.' Robert and I laugh and become gown-ups again. We don't work. We play every Friday night in April! Come have fun with us," commented Cher. Cher last appeared on the network with Robert Osborne as a Guest Programmer in September 2011. 
"It's a great pleasure to be joining Cher in launching TCM's new Friday Night Spotlight series," said Osborne. "Besides being an Academy Award winning actress and an electrifying stage performer, Cher loves movies, knows movies and has fascinating things to say about them. We're also proud to claim her as one of Turner Classic Movies' most passionate and knowledgeable fans." 
A complete schedule for A Woman's World: The Defining Era of Women hosted by Cher and Robert Osborne, is included on www.tcm.com. 
"After Cher and Robert get things started in April, TCM's Friday Night Spotlight will continue with a new host each month as it explores themes that range from specific film genres to forgotten gems worthy of a second look," said Charles Tabesh, senior vice president of programming for TCM. "We have designed this showcase to give longtime fans of classic movies the chance to see their favorites in a new light, while also giving newer fans the opportunity to expand their cinematic horizons." TCM will announce additional hosts and themes for the Friday Night Spotlight soon. 

Pop superstar Cher cut short her recent trip to Paris, France after her mother fell ill.
The Believe hitmaker was in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week last week (ends03Mar13), and was spotted taking in several runway shows with Black Eyed Peas star Fergie.
However, Cher ended the trip early to be with her ailing mother Jackie (Georgia Holt).
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Mom got sick! Had to come home! She's going to be alright, but it was big scare! Moms (sic) tough! Women r (are) tough in my fam (family). It's a womans (sic) world."

CherLove: We hope Georgia gets well soon!!!

While we recently were majorly bummed at the news of Cher’s upcoming album delay, it sounds like it just might be for the better!

And, although it was supposed to drop this spring, it’s just simply not yet ready for our listening ears!!

According to our source, Warner Bros. Records has some “enormous promotions in the works” and they are reportedly giving the album all the time and energy that it deserves!

Instead of releasing the album this month, Cher will be tied up in the studio recording some more, as well as doing photo and video shoots in London!

But don’t worry, Cher lovers — we’re told this will be the “best record of her entire career” and that she will make the 11 year wait MORE than worth it!

Our insider raved that Cher’s voice is “bigger and better than ever” and that the album will be legendary!

Okay, okay… in that case, we suppose we can wait a little while longer! LOLz!

We love a random celebrity friendship, and here’s one that is particularly so.

Earlier today Cher and Fergie, of Black Eyed Peas fame, stepped out arm and arm in Paris for a spot of shopping. You really can’t get any more showbiz than that can you?

Fergie announced her pregnancy a few weeks ago – she’s expecting her first child with husband Josh Duhamel – but evidently she’s in no mood to be purchasing sensible maternity wear just yet.

She and Cher hit some of Paris’ most upmarket boutiques and were obviously out to splash some cash; they left one designer store wearing a completely different ensemble than the ones they entered it in.

Fergs and Cher are in the City of Lights for Fashion Week, where they attended Rick Owens Show.

 

STRONG ENOUGH: “Black is the new black,” Cher observed from her front-row seat at Gareth Pugh’s show on Wednesday night after surveying what most of the audience was wearing. She, too, wore it head-to-toe, a perfect foil for her outsize crystal jewelry by Michael Schmidt. “I’m the black velvet tray,” she said, extending her arms to show off her studded cuffs.

The singer said she’s in Paris to celebrate the birthday of her friend Loree Rodkin, the jewelry designer, who brought her to the Pugh show along with Chrome Hearts co-owner Laurie Lynn Stark.
“I’m on my way to London to finish my album,” Cher told WWD, confessing she still hasn’t settled on a title for it. The first single, “It’s a Woman’s World,” is slated to come out in June, she noted.
The singer was peppered with questions about Pugh’s fashion — “I’ve never seen them, I have no idea,” she demurred — and gamely posed for cell phone photos. “I feel like a statue. I hope a bird lands on me,” she said.
Stark said she is working on perfume and other beauty products for Chrome Hearts, and was test-driving a blue nail-polish shade called Kiki.

On Twitter one fan wrote: "99% sure @cher's new album will not be released in March." Later Cher tweeted: "I’m sure it won’t Either! Single in June cd in Sept! There!! Freak! Leave!! hold your fkng breath till u turn Blue!"

She's been known to wear some bizarre outfits in her time.

And Cher didn't disappoint during a recent outing in Paris. 

The 66-year-old wore unusual diamond-checkered trousers, chains and a pirate-inspired black hat as she attended the Balmain runway show on Thursday with fellow singer Fergie during Paris Fashion Week.

The music superstar showed off her quirky side in the black-and-white slim fit trousers as she left the George V Hotel on her way to the fashion show.

The singer looked edgy in a puffy black leather jacket that sported a fur trim. She wore what looked like a white scarf knotted around her neck, while a long rope of chains hung from her left hip. 

She stayed true to her rocker roots with a strange black hat that displayed the word 'Rock' in silver capital lettering on the front.

The Oscar winner wore black boots and over-sized sunglasses, and carried a simple black handbag.

The star, who has never hidden her love of plastic surgery, highlighted her eyes with dark pink eyeshadow.

Cher was first snapped leaving her Paris hotel before arriving at the Balmain Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-To-Wear fashion show with Black Eyed Peas frontwoman Fergie.

The 37-year-old blonde, who recently announced she is pregnant, looked equally unusual in leather trousers and a matching black cape over a striped blazer that hung open to show the first signs of her growing baby bump.

A long Chanel necklace hung over her bun in the oven and she hid her eyes behind purple-tinted glasses as she headed for the catwalk with her musician friend.

In a career which started in the early 1960s, Cher has never shied away from using wigs, clothes and even surgery to update her look.

In one interview, the refreshingly honest star once admitted: 'Yes I have had a facelift, but who hasn't? I have become the plastic surgery poster girl.

'Everyone says I am terrified of getting old but the truth is that in my job becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing'.
