Wow. Before I could finish blogging this week, Cher turned up in more stuff.
The Cher Gap Commercial
The Gap has just released an off-the-cuff commercial with Cher and Future singing “Everyday People.” It's great. And painfully short.
– From Ad Week
"A new 30-second ad, debuting today, will air on high-profile TV programming like NFL games, prime time and late night, marking the first time in several years that Gap has advertised on television in the fall back-to-school period."
– From People
"What do you get when you put one of the most iconic female performers of all time on set with the chart-topping rapper of the moment? A duet you never knew you needed. Unlikely duo Cher and Future team up for Gap‘s latest installment of its “Meet Me in the Gap” fall campaign to make some music together — and of course they look really good in their Gap gear while doing it."
– From Logo
"Is Cher’s ad better than Madonna and Missy Elliott’s iconic 2003 Gap commercial? We’ll let you be the judge…"

And Sonny & Cher singing the song on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour back in the early 70s.
Baby Don't Go
I also forgot to mention this earlier but the Welsh band Colorama just did a very lovely cover of Baby Don’t Go (and it’s good to see something other than "Believe" and "Bang Bang" getting some attention).
Fundraising for Hurricane Harvey Victims
Cher also appeared on TV to do fundraising for Hand in Hand and giving a speech with Oprah. Read CNN's story.
