CHER AND SHARE ALIKE

Cher is dishing up some interesting anecdotes in her new book, "The First Time." New York's Daily News reports that the pop singer/Oscar-winning actress ("Moonstruck") tells all about sex and directors she disliked. At 16 she had sex with Warren Beatty after he nearly ran her off the road in Encino CA and she followed him to his house. While filming "The Mask," Cher says Peter Bogdanovich made her cry when he told her that her part could easily be cut entirely from the film. The News reports that the late Sonny Bono, Cher's first husband, is viewed in a mostly sympathetic light.
