Janet Jackson isn’t the only diva cancelling shows due to health problems.

Cher is apparently suffering from asthma-related bronchitis.

That doesn’t sound pleasant at all!

According to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, the 62 year-old had to cancel her shows on Saturday and Sunday, which were her last performances there for the year, due to her bronchitis.

Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, claims Cher is actually suffering from “Vegas Throat.”

That’s apparently a condition that’s caused by the dry dessert air.

However, reports state that Caesars spent millions of dollars installing a special humidifier in The Colosseum showroom, which was specially built for Celine Dion’s show to protect her throat.

As for Rosenberg, she is also denying the rumors that Cher has chronic abdominal problems.

Caesars issued a statement saying that “Cher looks forward to her return to The Colosseum early next year with performances to be announced soon.”

Get well soon, diva!

Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!
Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!
Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!
Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!
Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!

This weekend we had the very special opportunity to not only see Cher’s new show at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas, but we also got to meet her afterwards!!!

This woman is a legend!!!!!

She’s in her 60s and she’s still singing and dancing. She’s been doing this for 44 years now!

And, the new show at the Colosseum brilliantly encapsulates that storied career - taking you on a journey through her decades of hits and memorable moments along the way.

The show is everything you would want from a Cher concert - big production, stunning Bob Mackie outfits, dancers, aerialists, video montages and more.

The only, small, critique we have is that she does spend a lot of time offstage changing clothes. She has a new costume for practically every song!

But, it’s a Cher show and you want those outfits. So it is what it is.

Above everything else, though, it’s all about the music. And Cher has soooo many hits.

We saw the Bette Midler show at the Colosseum and we didn’t enjoy her as much as Cher because Bette just doesn’t have that many hits. It’s all about the show.

However, the show is that much more special when everybody knows all the songs and they’re singing along!

Cher’s got the hits, the show, the comedy. Everything.

And she was sooooo nice when we met her. And spunky!

If you come to Vegas, you MUST check her out.

We believe!!!!

P.S. She’s not playing Catwoman!

We thought this was a joke, but The Telegraph is a respected newspaper.

According to the UK’s Telegraph, Academy Award-winner and music icon Cher is in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third installment of the revamped Batman film franchise.

A studio executive reportedly said,

“Cher is Nolan’s (director) first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry’s purring creations.”

Crazy!

What do U think about Cher as Catwoman?

This isn’t your parents’ jazz!

State hello to Niia, a singer whose voice is as sultry as her looks.

This jazz upstart from New York has the potential to shake things up in the genre, who hasn’t seen a female break through to the mainstream since Norah Jones and Diana Krall.

We’ve become enchanted with the following song from Niia, Bang Bang, a reinterpretation of the Cher classic.

Check it out below and then CLICK HERE to listen to some other fine tunes from Niia.

Another stupid idea coming to TV!

According to Variety, ABC is turning the book/movie Witches of Eastwick into a TV show pilot.

A lot of you probably weren’t even born when Eastwick was released. But it was a GREAT film!

It’s basically about three women who turn to witchcraft after losing the men in their lives. They conjure up a devil-like character, who then proceeds to seduce all three of them.

The movie starred Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Will ABC hire the movie cast??? Don’t think any of them are very busy these days!

It would be Golden Girls meets Witches of Eastwick! Now that would be interesting.

Celebs are just selling their mansions all over the place, but now’s not the time to sell. Is it????

Cher is the latest star to put her home up for sale.

The singer auctioned off most of the contents from her Malibu, CA mansion about two years ago.

And now she’s ready to sell the property.

Cher is selling her Italian Renaissance-style villa, which was built back in 1992, for $45 million.

Yes, FORTY FIVE million!

The 14,000 square foot villa sits on 1.7 acres of land and overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

Her home was also featured in Architectural Digest back in 2002.

It’s a three-story villa featuring six bedrooms with seven bathrooms.

There’s a pool, tennis court, and guest home. It also has a gym, a theater, and multiple verandas.

Must be nice to be that rich.

No, that’s not Michael Jackson.

It’s Cherilyn Sarkisian, bitches!

The 62 years young legend was spotted leaving the Medical Buildings on trendy Bedford Blvd. in Beverly Hills on Thursday, and she did NOT look pleased to be ambushed by the oh-so-friendly paps.

The singer covered her face and ran to her automobile, using her long black hair and sunglasses as a shield, as she was accompanied by a male companion who held on to her arms.

So, what work did Cher get this time????

Lips? Botox? Face peel?

All of the above???

She’s pulled a Mimi!

The National Enquirer reports in a splashy new cover that Cher has gone and gotten married!

And, as you would expect of her, she’s wed a much much younger man!

The diva married a non-famous dude aged 36 (seen above).

She’s 62!

The wedding took place in Vegas, and - thankfully - she’s stated to have made the former Hell’s Angels dude sign a prenup.

Congrats, we guess!

Update: The cover is misleading!!!!

The Enquirer article says Cher is PLANNING on marrying this guy … HASNT happened yet.

Filthy liars!!!

Cher is usually a hermit. She pretty much stays at home and keeps out of sight from the paparazzi.

Thursday night, however, she decided to hit up a “hot spot.”

The Vegas showgirl went partying with friends at Foxtail nightclub in West Hollywood, though she was a bit camera shy - making a quick exit and keeping her face covered.

Cher must no be seen without full makeup on, which for her takes six hours to apply!

Cher’s new Vegas show is set to open next month, and what’s a girl to do to drum up a little publicity???

Talk about her romantic past with Tom Cruise!

The two supposedly met for the first time in the mid ’80s at a White House fund-raising event, just after Tom’s success with his hit film Risky Business.

At the time, Cher was 39 and Tom was just 23.

In an interview earlier this year, Cher states, “I did date him [Cruise]. He was just the most adorable man you can imagine. He wasn’t into Scientology then. I don’t understand the whole Scientology thing.”

And just recently, when on the Oprah show taping this past weekend, Cher said of Tom, “I was crazy about him.”

Cher added, “He was shy. He said he felt like such a boob in school and nobody talked to him. We went on a date once for dinner in a New York restaurant and the waitress was from his old school. He told me she never talked to him back in school, but now he was recognized, he got all her attention.”

The two apparently dated for several months. Their relationship ended when Cruise met his first wife, Mimi Rogers, six years older than he was. They were only together for three years.

He definitely used to have a thing for older women!

Cher says, “Dating is a strange thing. It’s not every man who can be comfortable with me. Being Cher is a hard thing and difficult for him to hold his place.”

As for her relationship with Tom, she adds, “It could have been a great big romance because I was crazy for him.”

Awe how sweet, I wonder if Tom will say anything about this?

Maybe! He wants to plug his 25th year release of Risky Business.

Will there be a vintage sex-tape released as well?

Exciting news, diva lovers!

The rumors are true.

She’s back from retirement!

Putting speculation to rest, PerezHilton.com has exclusively learned that Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is going to announce on Thursday their heir hundred million dollar plus deal with the one and only Cher.

The international icon has entered into a very lucarive agreement with the hotel for a series of over 200
shows, which will run over the course of the next three years in their 4300 seat Colosseum.

Her first show will be on May 6th. Yay!

Cher will be speaking with Good Morning America and Nightline on Thursday.

An insider tells us, “Cher reveals that she juggled three different boyfriends last summer, has spent a lots of time quietly visiting wounded soldiers at different hospitals around the world, doesn’t have
words to express her hatred for George Bush, passionately endorses Hillary Clinton and most importantly is reuniting with the great Bob Mackie on the costumes for her Las Vegas run.”

Her rep refused to comment on any of the above except to confirm that she too heard that sequins have officially been added to the endangered species list.

Viva the gypsies, tramps and thieves! We know where Perez is gonna be on May 6th!

Cher is sick, gays. Light your candles and say a prayer!

The uber diva has been hit with a mystery stomach illness.

Cher is currently being treated by a specialist based in Europe for her tummy trouble.

The singer has had to cancel appearances and work obligations because of her illness.

We hope it’s nothing too serious!

Get well soon, Cher!!!
