Rags to Rags
"I'm often mistaken for a Cher impersonator," the sexy sixties pop icon joked to Dave Letterman this week after plunking herself down on the coach on the set of the late night talk fest.
But, it was the asssessment of her audience, that may have offended a few of her die-hard fans, though.
"They're old," she seemed to shudder at the thought!
The fact that these golden-oldies showed up with their oxygen tanks in tow (her words, not mine) caused her to opine that the upcoming gig @ Caesars Palace (Las Vegas) may be her last.
On that note, the Bob Mackie (middle-aged) Barbie, was inclined to protest about the price of the tickets.
"My young fans can't afford the venue," she lamented.
Well, about a free concert or two in park, Cher?
Apparently the award-winning chanteuse is a bit miffed about becoming a joke in the macho set.
After all, folks have reported back that they've heard unkind remarks about her, when it comes to a trek to the glitzy Hotel in the desert oasis.
"I'm going to take 'ya to see that old lady at Caesars while I go off and gamble," two-fisted beer-drinkers have been known to chortle.
OMG!
Has the sultry siren lost her sex appeal?
Meanwhile, Dave was surprisingly keen on tackling all fronts, as he held her captive on live TV.
"Was you son "Chaz" a lesbian before he got the sex change," he probed, as a hush fell over the room.
Cher nodded in the affirmative.
During the course of the conversation the aging cougar admitted that it was a difficult situation from the get-go.
"If I was in a man's body, I'd be so unhappy," she added, without blinking-an-eye.
So, she summarizly gave Chastity the nod.
No word on the scuttlebutt.
Did Momma pay for the expensive transformation?
I laughed when toothy Letterman zeroed in on Cher's love life.
"You dated Warren Beatty," he started off slowly.
"Yes."
"And, Tom Cruise?"
"Yes."
Although there was a perfect opportunity for Dave to quiz her about the allegations that Cruise is "gay", he gave a wide berth, and avoided that potential controversy.
Gosh, he didn't even bring up the subject of Scientology.
By the end of this titillating segment, Dave was posing a mighty personal question.
"Have you slept with 100 men, then?"
The audience roared.
"Well, everyone was promiscuous in those days," Cher offered up in her defense.
When the touchy issue of the
Rock 'n Rock Hall of Fame Award reared its ugly head, she remained pretty low-key.
Just maybe, Cher realizes now that her whining in Vanity Fair didn't do much to bolster her image.
Cry baby!
But, the Pop Icon managed to slide in a slight, before she signed off.
"It's all about coolness," she teased.
Say what?
It's not about the music?
