Periphery News: Condo for Sale, Thinner Chaz, Hot Allman Wife

February 25, 2013 / / 2 Comments

Sierra TowersCher Digs For Sale

What would a three-to-four year period be without a former Cher residence not going up for sale? I imagine a strange Chertopia forming, where every house in the western world is bought by Cher and redesigned to be resold looking Mediterranean, medieval, middle-eastern or in some way Cher like. A homogeneous Levittown-cum-Chertown.

Just look at those Cher windows and tell me I'm wrong!

Cher is now selling her two-story remodeled condo in Sierra Towers in LA, ending her relationship with a residence along the lines of a similar pattern: she met it, bought it, changed it over (dating phase), photographed herself in it for Architectural Digest (wedding photos), and then decided they should both see other people, hopefully with a net gain for herself of 1 million dollars.

Allegedly her condo is the only two-story condo in the building, with neighbors such at Courtney Cox, Elton John and Joan Collins. She bought it in 2006 for $4.5 million and is listing it at $5.5 million.

If you're interested in moving in, the building boasts a 24/7 concierge service, a gym, a pool, a sundeck and her condo has panoramic views.

Chaz Diet

In other news, Contactnews is reporting that Cher's son Chaz has lost 43 pounds. From the picture, it appears to be true: http://www.contactmusic.com/news/chaz-bono-loses-43-pounds-on-health-kick_3513240

The photo caption claims Chaz is walking with his girl friend. She looks strikingly similar to Heidi Shink. If so, are they dating again or did the caption mean to say girl [space] friend?

Hot Rock Star Ex-Wives
Dlposter

The site Ultimate Classic Rock has named Cher one of the Hottest Rock Star Ex-Wives: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/cher-hottest-rockstar-ex-wives/

…although they admit she's "a legend in her own right." This is a nice nod coming from a classic rock site, I think. Did you know Allman has now racked up 6 wives? As Mother to Cher Scholar would say to Mr. Allman if she ever met him with this factoid, "maybe it's you."

The picture to the right is from the Richard Avedon photos that became the cover of her Dark Lady album in 1974, a year before she met Gregg Allman, before she was to become the ex-girlfriend of David Geffen. I look forward to the list that accumulates the hottest gay beards.

 

Winners Announced: Fans Rend Garments

January 20, 2013 / / 1 Comment

Despair 

 

The winners of last week's Facebook contest were announced and Cher News has been tracking the tweets of joy and the tweets of despair from those fans who did not make the random cut.

 

 

Zombies will be zombies after all. Sadly, they always want flesh.

But seriously, don't the drama queens ruin it for the rest of us. Just like Jessica Lange emoted in the early part of this season's American Horror Story in her Oscar winning Bostonian accent after the inmates abused a good thing, "Movie night is over for the foreseeable futcha!"

Will Cher continue to provide contests if the contestants lose their minds? She certainly doesn't need to.

Interestingly related to this, I've been saving up quotes on fame for my next Cher Zine and I've just found a treasure trove of good Oscar Wilde ones. Yesterdays find is apropos for the situations of these upset fans:

"It is a very unimaginative nature that only cares for people on their pedestals."

I always thought the phrase "get a life" was too harsh and slightly inaccurate. How does one lose a life after all other than to "drop dead." The better encouragement may be, "please start to care about other things."

If you continue to rent the fates for not delivering up your name in a Facebook contest, life is nothing but suffering ahead for you.

Despair2

On the bright side of obsession, one obsessed fan contributed a winning bid of $5,700 to ensure meeting Cher, funds which will go to the Cher Charitable Foundation and the maintenance of the Shikimana School in Kenya. How often is it that nice and needy Kenyans get the opportunity to appreciate Americans for our celebrity obsessions?

 

Contest to Meet Cher Ends Tomorrow

January 16, 2013 / / 0 Comments

ContestCher and her peeps have devised a contest to fly in fans to meet her and attend the taping of her "Woman's World" video. Originally the contest was to be a Twitter scroll random pick sort of thing.

But you know…lawyers get involved and the thing gets mired in legalese.

It's a pretty sweet contest and there are a few ways to win: bid your way to the top (you richie ditchies) or enter the random pick. According to the official rulz, if you bid:

"the funds raised from this auction will go directly to the maintenance
of the Shikimana School in Kenya which Cher built two years ago under
the auspices of The Cher Charitable Foundation. The school educates
young children in need and provides medical help and nutritional meals
for the students. The Shikimana School also acts as a community center."

If you are part of the underclass, like me, you can still throw your hat in the ring for a free trip to Los Angeles and time to hob knob on the video set with Cher. Pretty nice, huh?

Cher World breaks it all down nicely.

Or you can go directly to the Facebook page to enter: https://apps.facebook.com/womansworldwin/contests/310497. God forbid, if you don't have a Facebook account by now you must join.

My husband refuses to do this, even for a chance of meeting Cher.

Cher Zombies, you have until Thursday, Dec 17 at 3:00pm PST to enter. God speed.

 

Cher Contest and New Development Deal

January 8, 2013 / / 0 Comments

60shollywood1960s Hollywood…it was an exciting time for Cher. She was just hitting the big time.

While I was in Urgent Care yesterday for chest pains (Mr. Cher Scholar and I were quite freaked out but it turned out to be costochondritis), I was reading all the announcements for Cher's new development deal on LOGO, an effort she and friend Ron Zimmerman had been working on since last year.

This sounds like a very interesting show and might give us a glimpse into Cher's experiences in this crucial decade in her life, least we dare to wish for Cher in a recurring role.

CNN says: "If Cher's potential Logo TV show would be anything at all like her Twitter feed, we're already on board."

News reports:

Cher is also trying to organize a twitter contest to bring some fans to her Malibu home for a preview of her album. Cher News has the wrap up: http://chernews.blogspot.com/2013/01/get-excited-your-chance-to-meet-cher.html

Unrelated….Sunday night as I was on the floor with my chest pains, waiting for Mr. Cher Scholar to get back from his job guarding Georgia O'Keeffe paraphernalia, I was watching the end of Oprah Winfrey's interview with David Letterman on her show Next Chapter. I love how Oprah dealt with the tough questions on Letterman and his feuds over the years, including his feud with her. But after that was over I turned to watching saved-up episodes of Family Guy. I thought if I'm going to die, I want to be watching Family Guy. Because I want to die laughing.

 

Cher Scholar Has Been Under the Weather This Holiday Season

December 26, 2012 / / 0 Comments

CherballI've been missing posting little tidbits of Cher news this whole holiday season! For Thanksgiving, Mr. Cher Scholar and I went to New York City to see The Book of Mormon. When we were sitting in the jam-packed La Guardia airport waiting to fly back to Santa Fe, we both started to feel feverish.

Five weeks later and I'm still not over it. It has morphed from a cold to a flu to a cold again. Although dramatic goings-on at work, spending too much time out in the cold weather, and Christmas shopping and shipping duties didn't help for a speedy recovery, I had no energy left to do much Cher scholarin. Here is a flashback over the end of November and December in Cher Land.

Cher calls for a boycott of Walmart due to their guns sales and the tragic Connecticut shooting of school children. I have already been avoiding Walmart for 10 years due to my mother's boycott of Walmart due to their screwing over workers, small businesses and local economies all while their heirs hoard a huge chunk of American wealth. I think Forbes Magazine said it best: "Six Waltons Have More Wealth Than the Bottom 30% of Americans."

Cher does not appear on the X-Factor finale as reported but goes to Russia instead for a private concert. Stories from Cher World and Cher News:

AirportHere is Cher leaving the airport in LA looking like an ageless hipster:

And Cher in Russia doing Russian things:

Cher this month also reported being hot for the character who plays Golem in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit: Andy Serkus. Here is a picture of him shirtless.

 

 

 

 

 

Cher just released a Christmas Tweet: "Have the best Christmas ever! I know Christmas sucks sometimes – try to do something you like! Watch a movie you like, have a piece of pie, ice cream, pop corn, buttermilk, biscuits or something you love!"

Cher also posted pics of her house decorated for a Christmas party.

Due to our illnesses, Mr. Cher Scholar and I cancelled our Christmas party and I didn't put up any decorations, which are very similar to Cher's minus the lighting, ceilings, floors, silverware and ginormous trees. Between our lack of festivity, the Connecticut shooting and the sad-sack stories of my co-workers, this made for the most depressing Christmas I've had in years.

I had not read Cher's tweet by yesterday but I inadvertently did something I don't usually do just to cheer myself up: I ate a cheese ball.

Merry Christmas everybody.

I hope the good spirit of cheese balls lives in you this week.

 

Cher v. Trump, the Sequel

November 18, 2012 / / 0 Comments

This is why Donald Trump can not be president, like ever. Why does he even have the time or even care to catfight with celebrities? He should be writing books about foreign policy and economics, not twitter-talking birth certificates, college transcripts, rugs and plastic surgery. It's egomaniacal and distinctly unpresidential.

Besides, haven't we already been here before?

But alas, here we go again. To see the hurling tweets, visit: http://entertainment.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/14/15167389-cher-mocks-donald-trumps-hair-he-disses-her-plastic-surgery

Are twitter wars like 1940s alley fights?

 

Cher and Another US Election

November 10, 2012 / / 0 Comments

CherobamaThe US has survived another election and Cher has posted a picture of herself with President Obama taken prior. He looks like a kid in a candy store!

Cher also posted some happy tweets summarizing her campaign enthusiasms:

"OMG OMG HE DID IT !"  "HE DID IT ! I'M CRYING !!!! THANK GOD HE DID IT !!!!!!

"OMG ! I'M SO HAPPY ! THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT NITES OF MY LIFE !!!! TEARS R STREAMING DOWN MY FACE ! WOMEN WE HAVE A CHAMPION !!!"

"WE WON ! WE WON ! GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY ! WE WON!!"

And later, she tweeted:

"Romney made a very nice concession speech! Can't wait to tell my mother Pres. Obama WON !
CherkathyShe said her life would never be the same if Romney won! (The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree!) She said 'Cher I can't watch him' she's Such A DRAMA QUEEN! Oh ! I Am Too? WE WON XXX."

"We've come a LONG WAY TOGETHER !" "I know I was a pain in the ass with all my political info! I remember some of U saying we don't care about Politics Cher ! This is boring Cher, But you were open & u told me what was happening with the GOP ! We did this together ! Congratulations!"

Cher was far from boring in her video rally with Kathy Griffin. In fact, funny outtakes have surfaced that are even funnier.

More of her election nite tweets can be found here.

Cher Hits One Million Twitter Followers

October 18, 2012 / / 1 Comment

ChercherThere have been some posts in the last week floating out itty bitty tid-bits of news about Cher's upcoming album. I have itty-bitty-news-about-Cher's-album fatigue myself. So until the damn thing apparates itself into my hands, I am not going to engage.

Dear Cher album, I'll talk to you when you get here. Until then, I'm shunning you.

To read the latest Cher album gossip visit Cher World or Cher News.

Other Cher news last week touted the fact that she hit one-million twitter fans recently. This kind of sounded like a big deal and so I researched the larger twitter-verse to see if this was in fact a big dealio.

It is not.

Although it has me beat by about a million, give or take one or two, it is not in fact that significant. According to the stats at Twitaholic, Cher does not even crack the top 1000 tweeters for followers. Yes, that's right. One-thousand tweeters have more followers than Cher does. It looks like this:

Top five are:

  1. Lady Gaga Gaga (with 30-freakin-million)
  2. Justin Bieber (29 mill)
  3. Katy Perry (27 mill)
  4. Rihanna (26 mill)
  5. Britney Spears (really?) (21 mill)

Obama has 20 million. Those with over 10 million include: Taylor Swift (19), Shakira (18), YouTube (18), Kim Kardashian (16), Nicki Minaj (14), Oprah (14), Justin Timberlake (14), Ellen DeGeneres (14), Twitter itself (13), Ashton Kutcher (12), Eminem (12).

Other lady pop-singers/celebrities at the top (in the millions): J-Lo (12), Pink (11), Adele (10), Alica Keys (9), Paris Hilton (8), Mariah Carey (8), Kloe Kardashian (7), Avril Lavigne (6), Beyonce (6), Jessica Simpson (5).

Sadly, the only news service at the top is CNN Breaking News with 8 million. Bill Gates is the top business leader with 8 million and the top spiritual guru is the Dalai Lama with 5 million.

To break the top 1000, you need to have 1,161,806 or more followers. So although the press loves to follow Cher's tweets, she's not in the top stratosphere of tweetdom.

Maybe some day she will be "trending."

 

Cher’s Road Rage Against Birthers and Bicyclists

October 1, 2012 / / 0 Comments

ChertheroadCher tweeted some news-hitting rage regarding Pacific Coast Highway bicyclists on September 30.

See the tweets here: http://twitchy.com/2012/09/30/cher-rants-about-pacific-coast-highway-bicyclists/

To be fair, PCH is a ridiculously windy and narrow road, with Malibu mansions hugging one side and their delivery/guest parking spots hugging the mountain on the other side. So if you need to constantly swerve around bikes, there's those yahoos running across the street, too. And those plebes cutting through David Geffen's yard to get to the free beach.

NOT MOTORCYCLES !!!!!!!
Fkng BICYCLES !!!!!!!

(Hey girl, those duplicate exclamation points take up your valuable twitter character count!!!!!!) I've cursed my share of motorbikes on LA though too (and for the same reason).

And this is just a post or two since we saw Cher peddling on a stationary bike for charity. Sigh.

The street above uses Cher's image to implore us all the share the road with bicycles. Cher should go there an spray a graffiti mustache on herself in protest.

Cher also tweeted on the Kansas Birther Hearings on September 15.

See the tweets here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/kansas-birther-cher-john-dean-twitter_n_1894057.html

The jist of it:

Several celebrities took to Twitter to weigh in on the decision of the state objections board to weigh President Barack Obama's eligibility to be on Kansas' presidential ballot in the wake of a challenge by a resident of Manhattan, Kan. The board voted unanimously Monday — during a hearing dominated by birther queen Orly Taitz — to drop the case after Joe Montgomery withdrew his objection.

Cher led off the fight on Friday when she posted several tweets highly critical of Kansas Republicans, including one calling them "beneath slime." The objections board is composed of three Republicans — Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Attorney General Derek Schmidt. The three voted unanimously on Thursday to delay a decision on Montgomery's objection pending more information from Hawaiian officials about Obama's birth certificate and noting that Obama's campaign did not attend the hearing.

The Wichita Eagle reported that Cher was not alone in tweeting about the birther hearing. Former Nixon White House counsel John Dean tweeted about the hearing on Friday, calling the state "nuts." And New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof suggested that the state is "stuck in the 19th century."

Sigh. Kansas.
