Geee Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Big Hollywood:Cher has always been somewhat of an enigma. Ageless until recently, when she unwisely showed up at the 2010 VH1 Music Awards wearing the exact same outfit she wore in her 80’s video “If I Could Turn Back Time,” she has weaved in and out of movies and music since making her name via the mid-60’s The Sonny & Cher variety show. Throughout, she has slowly become more vocal about her hatred for the Republican Party, her low opinion of George W. Bush, and most recently, her belief that Sarah Palin is “a dumb woman,” and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is even “worse.”Less than a month after Barack Obama was sworn in as President, Cher breathed a sigh of relief by saying the previous eight years of Republican rule had almost “killed” her. I’ve never figured out if the root of her hatred for the Republican Party really rests in George W. Bush, whom she called “stupid,” or in the fact that her former husband, Sonny Bono, traded Hollywood for a career as a Republican Congressman before his untimely death?And here’s an interesting insight into the “progressive” Cher and the Republican Sonny:Cher kicked Chastity out of her NY apartment when her daughter came out to her, and it took her a while to come to terms with it. Chastity’s father, the late singer and Congressman Sonny Bono, was said to be immediately accepting and to have already realized that his daughter was gay.Her own daughter.

Casino67 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Per Wiki, she dropped out of school when she was only 16. Highly educated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickydog Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I can't imagine that this writer cares enough about what Cher thinks or says that he would devote even a sentence to it, let alone an entire article. Having said that, "Moonstruck" is one of my favorite movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I never knew this before the lady who cuts my hair told me so, but the people who go to Cher's shows and follow her are the gays. They are her cult following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Stella, Sorry, I had to read that twice. I had my screen font set pretty small.

However, after looking at the website I recalled Victor/Victoria, Stella. But I much prefer The Sound of Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrWoodchuck Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I always liked the movie "10" and mostly for the music. Ravel's "Bolero" is one of my favorites, although Herbie Mann's "Push,Push" is more "moving." Julie gave a great minor performance, opposite Dudley Moore; who was hilarious. Bo Derek provided a good reason why John Derek was seldom seen in anything greater than "The Ten Commandments." Although I think he was also married to two other bombshells, before Bo.
