Inventing David Geffen to Air on PBS Next Week
November 18, 2012
David Geffen's biopic airs November 20th. Last week Cher was at the premiere in support.
On the red carpet she spoke of their relationship saying she was crazy about him and they were in love. When asked if Geffen was gay at the time, Cher responded that at that time in his life, she was the right person for him.

Producer Susan Lacy talks about making the film and Cher's input:
It was a long process. During a period of four years, I was doing interviews [off and on] whenever I could. It turned out it was a really good thing that I could do that. Because the people I really wanted took two years to schedule. It took a long time to get Neil Young, for example, who tours a lot. I think Cher is a huge addition to the film, another person who's very difficult to schedule.
Reviews of the documentary:
- http://siouxcityjournal.com/entertainment/television/american-masters-shines-light-on-david-geffen/article_2159fd64-acd4-5edf-b117-0f8b2bbc0775.html ("Inventing David Geffen -- which makes its television debut Tuesday on most PBS affiliates as part of the American Masters series -- serves as a de facto history of the entertainment business over the past 45 years.")
- http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/american-masters-inventing-david-geffen-review-1.4231026 ("Hugely entertaining profile, especially for show-biz junkies.")
- http://www.kansascity.com/2012/11/18/3923335/american-masters-highlights-david.html ("Inventing David Geffen doesn't gloss over the public tantrums Geffen had after Gregg Allman entered the picture; it ignores them completely. No mention is made, either, of Geffen's involvement in severing Cher's business ties from Sonny Bono. After a lot of Cher-related therapy sessions, Geffen decided he needed a change, so he went to work as an executive for Warner Bros.' movie division, stepping on toes left and right.")

Another PBS must-watch is tonight and tomorrow's Ken Burns documentary on the Dust Bowl. It's as relevant today with its arguments over science and man-made disasters.
Go Vote: Kristen Stewart V. Cher: Who Rocks a Sheer Bodysuit Best?
November 18, 2012
People Magazine is running a bodysuit poll and who doesn't care about bodysuits so go make your voice heard:
Banging bodies. Major success. Sheer jumpsuits. Three things Kristen Stewart and Cher have in common. But does K. Stew’s Zuhair Murad creation live up to Cher’s legendary black bodysuit?
Stewart wore her revealing ensemble — a shimmering, backless number — to the London premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 on Wednesday and earned mixed reviews from readers, some of whom found it sexy and some who thought it was salacious.
Cher has worn black bodysuits a zillion times throughout her career, most recently to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards (left) — and most famously in her “If I Could Turn Back Time” video. And we’ve gotta say: she’s worn them well.
So who looks best? The newbie or the old (yet ageless) pro? Vote in our poll.
You know what to do.

Cher v. Trump, the Sequel
November 18, 2012
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
The 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 !
She 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.

Four Videos for November
November 03, 2012
If you are intent on voting a Romney ticket, you probably won't enjoy these first three videos. Here we are the weekend before somewhat of an historic election in the United States. And although Cher has not been guesting on talk shows such as she did in elections past, she's been busy tweeting. And now she and Kathy Griffith have posted an election PSA spot on the YouTubes. Message aside (you had me at hellooo), I think Kathy and Cher could take this act on the road, or at least to a new TV variety series.
My cousin also sent me this good election PSA (billed as a paradoy of Les Miserables but it's not very ha-ha-funny as you find most parodies) but it's pretty inspiring nonetheless.
One of my favorite election PSAs this year is from Leslie Gore done to her song "You Don't Own Me."
It's full of lady-power and confidence! Riot Grrls come to roost.
Unrelated to the election (is that possible?), my dad is now into an artist named LP and he sent me her video link from a recent performance on David Letterman.
She's awesome! I plan to dig more into this!
