The air has “tea bagger” cooties! Some celebs have threatened to move to Canada if elections don’t go their way, but that might not be far enough away for Cher. Can she ever be certain she’s not breathing air that passed through the noses and mouths of Romney and his evil puppeteers? "TOO HARSH ? Thats me Holding BACK!

Cher spent months avoiding her transgender son Chaz Bono as he went through the process to become a man. She says she was terrified she wouldn't recognize him as her child. Bono was born Chastity - Cher and ex-husband Sonny Bono's only daughter - and she broke her mother's heart when she came out as a lesbian. Chaz feared more heartbreak was to come when he revealed his plans to undergo a lengthy and extensive sex change procedure, but Cher took the news well. However, once the process started, the pop superstar kept her distance. In new documentary Becoming Chaz,...

Donald Trump shouldn't count on a swing vote from Cher if he decides to run for president in 2012.

Aging Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher recently told CNSNews.com that “living under Republican rule almost ‘killed’ her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican.”[sic] The multi millionaire, much married, and largely irrelevant, vacuous singer/actress, who offered this unoriginal cheap shot against Bush and his party—so vogue among Hollywood celebs—has not done so badly under Republican and Democrat administrations over the last five decades; therefore no one was certain why she offered this commentary. When asked by Stoos Views during a telephone interview why she supported Obama in the last election,...

(watch the video of the idiot saying this) We’ve heard for years that Republicans don’t have that killer instinct. Apparently, it’s true. Multiple plastic surgery survivor Cher says that living under Republican rule almost killed her. And she was just getting started. She also said she can’t fathom why anyone wants to be a Republican and that President Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” is “so great” he will accomplish “more than anyone could possibly do.” When asked to explain her comment that Republicans almost “killed” her, the diva was a tad hazy on details. “My face has been stretched so tight...

The show - called Coming Out With Cher and Chas - is being pitched to TV production companies, say US reports. --------------------------------------------------------- When Chastity first told Cher back in 1990, she “went ballistic” and reportedly sent her for therapy.

Clinton tries to extend Big Mo/turn-the-page storyline with Monday TV appearances on all six morning shows from Iowa.

Jane Fonda summed up this view best in which she called Clinton "a ventriloquist for the patriarchy with a skirt and a vagina." (It would be such a great quote, except when was the last time Hillary wore a skirt?)....... They are like her, but they don't like her. Such is the curious phenomenon of many educated, professional, liberal women of a certain age when it comes to Hillary Clinton, the Los Angeles Times reports. In fact, upper-middle-class women on the left are "historically her toughest crowd," the paper reports. Why is this? The Times offers a handful of possibilities:...

Sen. Hillary Clinton, speaking at a ski lodge in New Hampshire, told voters she learned how to ski in the Granite State. "I would just get to the top and I would just go straight down. I never took a lesson. I thought I was a great skier because I was just rolling down that hill,"

Clinton Booed at Heartland Forum December 01, 2007 6:04 PM ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: A day after dealing with a hostage crisis, Sen. Hillary Clinton faced a tough crowd in Iowa. Clinton did not receive the warmest of welcomes at the Heartland Form in Des Moines, IA, and although the hostage scare was mentioned, the announcer brushed it off quickly in order to get to questions. Clinton, who was forced to call in to speak to the crowd of thousands because of weather difficulties, took questions on topics from healthcare to illegal immigration. The senator was asked if she...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton trails five top Republican presidential contenders in general election match-ups, a drop in support from this summer, according to a poll released on Monday. Clinton's top Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still lead Republicans in hypothetical match-ups ahead of the November 4, 2008, presidential election, the survey by Zogby Interactive showed.

Cher had 5,000 DVDs of "The Ground Truth: After the Killings" made, but unless American soldiers are on her mailing list, they're not getting to see it. Army, Navy and Marine Corps base officers have refused to show the documentary, about difficulties Iraq War vets have after they return home, according to director Patricia Foulkrod. "It's hard for them to reconnect to their families," Foulkrod told us. "They've been in a very dramatic situation. The adjustment is so difficult. They come back and are offered only minimum wage. We spent so much money on the war, the government didn't really...

Cher Flogs Off All Her Old Crap When most people redecorate their homes, they'll just bung down any old tatty carpet and the cheapest Ikea sofa they can find, but not Cher. To redecorate her home, Cher first has to sell off 700 bits of old tat just to make room. That's right - you can be the proud owner of any number of crazy old crap that Cher used to own. Cher is auctioning off more than one million dollars worth of her belongings, like her bed, some of her near-pornographic stage costumes and a 500-year-old Jesus. The Cher...

NEW YORK - Cher, who opposes the war in Iraq but supports the troops, says using her celebrity to promote effective helmets for U.S. soldiers is rewarding — and "the right thing to do."

Campaign Highlights Inconsistencies Between Record and Rhetoric WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Team America PAC has launched a radio campaign in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the campaign is to make Republican Primary voters aware of Representative Chris Cannon's support for illegal alien amnesties and other benefits for illegal aliens even though he represents his record as having been tough on illegal immigration. On his website, Congressman Cannon claims he's never supported amnesty for illegal aliens and never will. In fact, Cannon has not only supported nine amnesties for illegal aliens, he's actually co-sponsored six amnesties himself....

WASHINGTON - The subject was whether to modify helmets for soldiers in Iraq, but all eyes were on Cher. As photographers clicked away, the singer and actress entered a Capitol Hill hearing room through a back door 20 minutes after the session was scheduled to start. The hearing soon got under way. Cher has donated more than $130,000 to the group Operation Helmet, which pays about $100 to modify the inside of soldiers' helmets to make them better able to absorb shock from a bomb blast. Cher, wearing a white lace top under a black pant suit, looked solemn as...

In a contest among Liza Minnelli, Cher and Barbra Streisand to determine who's the No. 1 gay icon, Cher would win - or so Minnelli says. "I think probably Barbra and maybe even Cher and myself in school felt like outcasts because we didn't have standard looks," Minnelli told Newsweek for its issue on newsstands Monday. "Maybe what a gay icon is, is a person who is rooted for - in other words, cheered on - by people who feel different," the 60-year-old Minnelli said as her 1972 concert Liza With a Z aired on Showtime and comes out this...

House Of Cards What do Cher, a Hollywood con man, a political rising star and an audacious felon have in common? Together they gave Bill and Hillary Clinton a night they'll never forget -- no matter how hard they may try By April Witt, Page W10 The plot and characters surrounding a Hollywood fundraising gala for the Clintons sounded like a darkly comic movie, a send-up of greed and corruption. Except that allegations of failed influence peddling inspired real, live G-men to start investigating.

Q: Before the election, Alec Baldwin; Rosie O'Donnell Janeane Garafalo, Whoopi Goldberg; Al Franken; Cher; Phil Donahue; Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand; and Jan Fonda all promised to move from the U.S, if President Bush were re-elected. Who left, and where are they now?? - Stuart Posselt, Minden, Nev. All still live in the good old USA. None seriously considered moving, and our research turned up no public "promises." That list was spread on the web and in print,perhaps to impugn the patriotism of these outspoken liberals (Bold added)

Cher branded fellow pop divas J-Lo and Britney Spears "hos" during a concert, it was reported today. The singer launched an attack on her younger rivals before 20,000 fans in Auckland, New Zealand, according to the New York Post. "I'm not going to give up showbusiness but I'm going to give up touring because, you know, there are all of these young girls coming out like Britney (Spears) and J-Lo," she allegedly said. When booed, Cher is said to have smirked and added: "I know - they are hos, aren't they?" The 56-year-old singer is on the final leg of...

Living in New York, I have no choice but to read the New York Times every day. I try to leaven it with the Daily News and the New York Post, but it's a witch's brew. The News has somehow cast itself as the newspaper of the underclass, so it feels obliged to report every bit of mayhem coming out of New York's poor neighborhoods. Somebody killed somebody over a jacket. Somebody got shot over a parking space. A grandmother in a housing project was killed in the crossfire by drug dealers. News about democracy demonstrations in Lebanon usually appears...

Pop legend Cher has jokingly branded chart rivals Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez "hoes". The 57-year-old star, told an audience of 20 000 fans gathered at one of her farewell shows at the North Shore stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, last weekend that she would never be replaced by the young stars after revealing plans to quit part of her 30-year pop career.

Some may consider film and TV celebrity Rosie O'Donnell a heavyweight in the world of entertainment, but her ability to draw people to a John Kerry rally this weekend appeared somewhat light. According to the Drudge Report, O'Donnell spoke to a nearly vacant Club Ovation last night in Ft. Lauderdale, acknowledging the lack of a big crowd.

In the midst of a recent Cher concert at a packed arena in Washington, D.C., massive TV screens flashed a clip of the star declaring that if she wanted to take a certain pair of body parts from her chest and implant them in her back it would be nobody's business but her own. Cher's anatomy, of course, sports no such anomalies. Quite the contrary: The star on stage that night had everything in the right place. If anything, she resembled one of those cookie-cutter female characters in a contemporary Disney animation. Slap a red wig and fish tail on...

There is probably a dumber community in America, but nobody is as hell-bent on proving it in public as Hollywood. The series of brainless rants around Oscar time two weeks ago was the climax of months of escalating public idiocy by people who confuse celebrity with wisdom.

Police have recovered a wig stolen from Cher's dressing room during a concert tour. Cher is known for her flamboyant style The star's wig, which was valued at $10,000 (£6,226), was reported missing following a gig at Richmond Coliseum in Virginia.

The suspect later told police he had given it to an unknown woman outside the concert on 25 February. The...

<p>PALM SPRINGS -- Sonny Bono was different things to different people.</p> <p>To one generation, he will forever be remembered as a singer-songwriter whose 1960s TV image was built on playing goof to his quick-witted, sophisticated wife, Cher, in the hit series "Sonny and Cher." To others, he was a politician whose own quick wit endeared him to an oft-cynical Congress at the hottest times.</p>

More and more celebrities using fame to back causes 12/26/2002 Associated Press NEW YORK - From the moment Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad, eager to advance the cause of peace, he was doomed - a dead man talking. He was a celebrity, like so many other celebrities who have waded into the treacherous waters of politics or international relations. So he walked gingerly - he was there, he said, "to learn and not to teach." He avoided reporters. And he was careful not to say or do anything that would cause a meltdown at home. So the Iraqis did...

Irish song voted world's favourite An Irish republican song, A Nation Once Again, has been voted the world's top tune according to a BBC World Service poll. The song, originally recorded in 1964, was written in the 1840s by Thomas Osbourne Davis to support the fight for an end to British rule. The winning song was recorded by The Wolfe Tones and includes the refrain: "And Ireland, long a province, be a nation once again". Following a late surge in votes, the Irish sing along crossed the finishing line ahead of a patriotic Hindi song, Vande Mataram. Top Ten 1....

August Just Make the Check Out to the Clinton Library Former president Bill Clinton has his vices, but he’s not known as a gambler. So what’s he doing hanging around the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut? When Clinton was president, he signed legislation declaring the Mohegans of Connecticut a federally recognized American Indian tribe. That qualified them to run a gambling casino. In June he popped over to the casino to receive an award. Clinton insisted he received no appearance fee, although he usually doesn’t go anywhere these days until the check is in the mail. Turns out that before...

UNCASVILLE, Conn. - The Mohegan Sun casino officially threw open the doors of its glitzy $1 billion hotel expansion this weekend with a star-studded $2 million bash that was more fun than creaming the house with a royal flush.
