Chastity Bono Undergoing Sex Change
Originally posted 06/11/2009 04:45PM
Political and social activist Chastity Bono – the only child of entertainers Cher and the late Sonny Bono – began undergoing a sex change shortly after her 40th birthday on March 4.
"Cher is very supportive and has known about Chastity wanting to do this for a very long time," a source tells PEOPLE. "This will be a long process but it's something Chastity has wanted to do for many years."
Bono's spokesman, Howard Bragman, told TMZ, which first reported the story, "Yes, it's true – Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity.
"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."

Cher's Rep Laughs Off Wedding Reports
Originally posted 07/09/2008 12:15PM
Plenty of celebrities have said "I do" in quickie Las Vegas weddings, but contrary to a recent tabloid report, Cher is not one of them.
"She's not even in Vegas right now," says the singer's rep, Liz Rosenberg. In May, Cher, 62, began headlining a show at Caesar's Palace, which alternates with Bette Midler's Vegas concert; Cher is currently on hiatus. Adds Rosenberg, "She won't be back in Vegas until August."
Those close to the twice-divorced singer got a kick out of the false report, which named the groom as a 38-year-old Hell's Angel and alleges the couple signed a $600 million pre-nup. Cher's assistant "was laughing hysterically when I asked her," says Rosenberg.
Calling the story "crazy," Rosenberg quipped, "Cher promised me if she ever got married again, I could be the flower girl."

Cher Reveals Tom Cruise Crush
Originally posted 04/29/2008 06:55PM
In what sounds like a real-life, all-star version of The Graduate, Cher is now admitting to having acted upon a long-ago crush on the much younger Tom Cruise.
Their happy time together took place just as Cruise, now 45, was kicking off his career 25 years ago, the 61-year-old diva tells Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming show taped in Las Vegas.
"I was so crazy about him," says Cher, who was 39 when she reportedly met the 23-year-old Cruise at a White House fund-raiser in the mid-'80s, not long after his breakthrough role in 1983's Risky Business.

Angelina Jolie Speaks of Playing with Brad
Originally posted 05/03/2005 08:00AM
REVEALED: Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt share a common trust – gained during gun practice while preparing for their roles as married assassins in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the actress tells Vanity Fair. "You had to trust each other to cross under or over and only move when the other person moves, so the trust, when somebody's got a loaded gun at your back ... it made us trust each other quickly," says Jolie, 29. In the interview, Jolie denies the rumors that she had phone sex with Pitt and that she had said she was a shoulder for Pitt to cry on after his split from his wife of 4 1/2 years, Jennifer Aniston. "It's obviously been difficult with all this bulls--- going on," Jolie said of her professional relationship with Pitt. "I've been tied to everybody I ever worked with."

Eva's Life As a Desperate Housewife
Originally posted 11/02/2004 06:00AM
It's good to be a Desperate Housewife – just ask Eva Longoria, who tells us that the most mundane activities have been livened up by her newfound fame. "I'm sick right now, so yesterday I went to the grocery store to get chicken to make homemade chicken soup," she told us at a recent L.A. fund-raising event hosted by Frederick's of Hollywood. "I'd come from the set so I was in full hair and makeup, and I just wanted to go home. Four women stopped me in the poultry aisle and they were like, 'Aren't you on that show?' I was like, 'Yeah,' and because I'm so interested right now in what everybody thinks about the show, I was like, 'Well, do you like me? Do you really like me?' I probably kept them 20 minutes. They were like, 'Oh my God, that happened to me!' Not (referring to her character's affair) with the gardener, obviously. I wish that happened to everybody. But they were giving me examples of different things."
