Contest to Meet Cher Ends Tomorrow

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Cher Goes Out on the Town

Goodmorm…and the girl is still causing a sensation.

Go to Cher World and see more photos. And please, please watch the video of Cher entrapped by fans and paparazzi: http://www.cherworld.com/cher-news/cher-attends-the-book-of-mormon-in-los-angeles/.

One guy with a green sweater hands her something to sign from behind a door. A barrage of "I love you Cher!"

What happens when love hurts. You can see the aggrivation on her face. And it's hard to believe she still creates such a fury with her appearances after all these years (47!!) after her career started. It's sort of breathtaking.

She was attending the Los Angeles premiere of Matt Parker and Trey Stones'  musical The Book of Mormon at The Pantages Theatre. Last year for Christmas I asked for tickets to the Broadway show for this fall. I can't wait to see it and to be back in New York City with Mr. Cher Scholar!!

Cher's outing last week also produced a new quirky ensemble.  
Mormoutfit

And below she shows off her cock-sure purple hat she wears smartly as she's being man-handled through the freak show.

Bookofmorm She tweeted of the event:

On way 2 FAB Nite ! LATE! Road is parking Lot ! I look cute in my Philip Trace
Hat! Well Purple Hat …Looks Cute ! I Look like cher??

Actually, she looks like some funky retro- Kool-Cat-in-the-Hat.

And I like it.

Cher News posted her stream of twitter pics on the way to the show: http://chernews.blogspot.com/2012/09/more-twitter-photo-uploads-from-cher.html.

A friend's camera phone must have also captured Cher and Kathy Griffin sitting in what is surely the first few rows.

TheaterLater in the week, Cher donated her time down on the Santa Monica Pier to support The Heroes Project and her friend and the project's founder Tim Medvetz. The Cycle for Heroes event was to support wounded U.S. soldiers. Other famous cyclers that night included Danny Glover, David DeLuise (the son of Dom), Steve Jones of The Sex
Pistols and Richard Stark.

Cher tweeted of the night: 

I just got home from Santa Monica Pier! Tim had 250 bikes and riders
riding for veteran’s ‘The Heroes Project’ – a charity that he and I
started! There were beautiful young marines with as many as 3 1/2 limbs
missing! Our best, bravest and brightest!…There were so many ppl there
but i wanted to sit down quietly & speak with this boy! I met a
Totally cool young man w/all his limbs gone.

Heroes2

According to RadarOnline.com

Cher astonished all at the event with her down to earth and laid back friendly attitude. She openly spoke for hours to war veterans and one source from the event said “Everyone was shocked to see a superstar like Cher, looking so casual and normal on the Santa Monica Pier,”  There were no signs of diva demands, it was just the down to earth CHER we all love.

Cher even had a short work out on a spinning bike and dedicated her time to signing autographs for fans as well as posing for photos with the disabled veterans involved in The Heroes Project. 
“She was super sweet,” one fan says, “a real classic icon that is so down to earth”. “Fans kept walking up to her and asking for autographs and she happily obliged. She also took photos with everyone who asked.”

Cher Album News (Timberland, Pink, Gaga, Aguilera)

PinkWent to Kansas to visit in-laws last week and while I was gone tweets and news bulletins went a-flyin about Cher's new album. Cher also tweeted some sweet new pics. An overview:

— There's a Lady Gaga duet we already knew about called "The Greatest Thing"

— There are two songs written by Pink, who says of contributing songs that it was "such an honor…I'm such a fan." One of the titles is supposedly "I Walk Alone." I'm such a fan of Pink being a fan of Cher!

— There may also be a duet with Christina Aguilera. This is far from confirmed and would be ironic considering they made a musical together but have never sang together. I know. Makes no sense to me either.

— Producer Timberland is also involved in one song at least. Studiooutfit

— Cher is very happy with the results so far, often tweeting her excitement on various songs. "It's funny, I'm always drawn to same kind of song – overcoming pain, being strong enough and believing in love!"…"I worked hard last night! I go in and sing for ninety minutes to two hours straight! I don't like sitting down until the song is finished! Usually I can ace one song in one session! 'You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me' took two hours; 'If I Could Turn Back Time' took ninety minutes! I'm fast!" …"Many artists take a lot of time but more time wouldn't make my vocals better. I don't mean to sound pompous, it's the only way I know! 'Believe' was the worst time in studio – that's why we used pitch machine! It just wasn't working".

— A single is now slated for October not September and an album around Christmas. This will be here before you know it!

Cher also posted current photos, including the pink one at the top and the leopard-print jammies she said she wore to the studio.

Studio2 As Cher Scholar, I am absolutely salivating over modern pictures of Cher recording in the studio! Is this even a studio? To be a fly on that wall, a bug on that crazy carpet. Below you can see the producers at the board.

Cher News also gives an overview of reports that Cher is working with RedOne (producer of "The Greatest Thing"), J-Roc, Kuk Harrell, and Jason Derülo. And then there's Diane Warren. More obvious rhymes and vague sentiments to be expected there. It would be sweet to have this album be peppered with so many young divas and producers.

Cher’s Drawers

EyelashdrawerLast week Cher scholar Robrt sent me the link to the page Kathy Griffin posted about her girls-night-in with Cher.

http://kathycher.tumblr.com/

Cher rummaging through her eyelash drawer to the left

 

 Amazing things to see here:

  1. Cher giving us the finger (never tiresome is it?)
  2. Cher attempting to organize the un-organizable eyelash drawer.
  3. Cher's glitter drawer. It is comforting to see how the rich and glamorous have the same troubles containing glitter in their glitter jars as the likes me. Glitter escapes all over the bottom of the drawer whether your're famous or not.
  4. Kathy Griffin posing in one of the Sonny & Cher bobcat fur vests. History is calling on the princess phone!
  5. I really find it adorable how Kathy gives Cher a hard time in the video.
