Dancing With The Stars: Cher Cheers Chaz, Ricki’s Almost Perfect Score

Dancing With The Stars – October 10th dances – here’s the scores and what you missed:

Cher came out to support her son, Chaz Bono, Chynna Phillips had a very night, Carson Kressley entertained as a waltzing pirate and Ricki Lake scores the season’s first 10s.

Ricki Lake: She and Derek Hough wowed everyone with a tango to the theme from Psycho. The pair were just about flawless and received two 10 scores for a total of 29/30.

Chynna Phillips: The Mission Impossible theme and Tony Dovolani dangling from the ceiling started off on a good note, but Chynna lost her way quickly and forgot the steps. Billy Baldwin was in the audience to watch his wife. 21/30

J. R. Martinez: The Pink Panther theme and lots of pink clothing left the dance in the dust, overshadowing the duo’s smooth foxtrot. 26/30

Rob Kardashian: Rob was Clark Kent for a paso doble to the Superman theme. Mom Kris Jenner and stepdad Bruce Jenner watched Rob and partner Cheryl Burke give a fairly solid performance. 24/30

Carson Kressley: Kressley and Anna Trebunsakaya always entertain the audience. They waltzed to the Pirates of the Caribbean theme with swashbuckler costuming but Kressley’s dancing is still lacking. He’s much more fun than most though. 20/30

Hope Solo: Hope and Maks were wonderful as Woody and Jesse from Toy Story, foxtrotting to “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” was a highlight of the night. 24/30

Nancy Grace: Flash Gordon was the theme song, paso doble was the dance. It was forgettable unfortunately. 21/30

Chaz Bono: Chaz came out fighting with the Rocky theme for a rousing paso doble. Although Chaz isn’t the best dancer, he and Lacey Schwimmer are very engaging with the audience. Cher cheered with gusto. 21/30

David Arquette: David and Kym Johnson danced to the Raiders of the Lost Ark music and were an enjoyable duo to watch. David’s daughter Coco, is adorable watching her dad every week. Courteney Cox and Patricia Arquette were there giving David support. 23/30.

Blake Shelton, Julianne Hough and Susan Boyle will be on tonight’s results show.

Cher Tells Parade Chaz’s Gender Change “Was Rocky For Me”

Cher has been absent from movies (and most talk shows) for a while but she has a lot of catching up to do with us. The Burlesque star gave Parade magazine the scoop on what’s been going down in her life all this while. The Academy Award winning actress opened up about her daughter Chastity‘s gender reassignment surgery to become Chaz, how it’s been a struggle for her, her rocky marriage to Sonny Bono and her love life today:

On Sonny’s control and womanizing: “He didn’t want me to grow up or have any freedom,” she explains. “I wasn’t allowed to do anything except work. We worked more than we lived. Stardom made Sonny a huge womanizer,” she says. “One woman, or even five, was not enough for him. I found all this out afterward. I asked him, ‘How did you manage the logistics?’ I was trusting and faithful with him. The truth is, I’m not so sure we should’ve ever been husband and wife.”

On Chaz’s decision to go through with surgery: “When I realized she was going to do it, it was rocky for me. I thought, What will the press do to her? What will they do to the two of us together? It’s going to be the biggest nightmare that will not stop. But the press was kinder than I thought they would be. It’s hard, ’cause she’s still my girl. But she has an inner strength and she’s a courageous person–she believes what she believes. She and her girlfriend came over for dinner last night. All of us were there, my boyfriend too.”

Cher’s current flame, writer Ron Zimmerman:  “A girlfriend of mine knew him,” she explains. “He wrote her this funny stuff. So then Ron and I started writing to each other on Facebook. He thought that I was a Cher impersonator or a hooker–it never occurred to him that it was actually me. We played verbal volleyball for about a month until he called my friend and asked who I really was. She went, ‘It’s Cher.’ Ron flipped out. Then we talked on the phone. I said, ‘Why don’t you come over and we’ll meet? If I don’t like you or you don’t like me, you can just go home.’ And that’s how we met.

Cher’s full Parade interview will be in this Sunday (November 21st) paper.

Christina Aguilera & Cher ‘Burlesque’ Premiere

This is Aguilera’s first film and she didn’t disappoint in her attire for her inaugural film star red carpet. Christina also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, see those photos here.

Cher Still Isn’t Quite Used To Having A Daughter Named Chaz

Cher seems totally cool with her daughter Chastity Bono‘s 2009 sex change and subsequent legal name change to Chaz.  It’s just those pesky gender specific nouns and pronouns that keep tripping her up.  She said:

“Well, she’s a very smart girl — boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are [bleeped]. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him’. “

Cher also seems pretty certain of her own gender identity.

“If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and [bleeping] rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am — a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has.”

Hilarious.  I can say without a doubt that I am certain that I’ve never heard of spontaneous bank robbery as a symptom of gender dysphoria.  Cher does realize that Chaz didn’t just suddenly “wake up in a guy’s body”, right?  A sex change doesn’t just happen like THAT; it’s a gradual process.   Anyway, the bigger point is that she’s an awesome mom for being so supportive of her child.  Every transgendered person should be so lucky!

New ‘Burlesque’ Poster Pink with Cher and Aguilera

Here’s the newest poster for the upcoming musical Burlesque starring Cher and Christina Aguilera.

This is certainly a better poster than the first one, certainly marketed to a specific demographic. Needless to say, I’m not excited about this movie.

First Look at ‘Burlesque’ Starring Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera Burlesque

Here’s the first good look at Burlesque starring Christina Aguilera and Cher.

This movie certainly looks colorful, but this little preview doesn’t give us much in terms of what the story is about. Thanksgiving is still a while away, but this is obviously going to be a big holiday movie.

Cher and Knoxville ‘Drop-Out’

Cher andJohnny Knoxvilleare set to star in the upcoming filmThe Drop-Out.

The Hollywood Reportersays the project tracks the fortunes of a 35-year-old career college student (Knoxville) who is finally kicked out of his parents house. Desperate, he decides to get in good with the 62-year-old woman next door (Cher), so he can keep his food, couch and TV regimen intact. In the mix is the woman’s ne’er-do-well son, who is looking for a father figure, even if it’s a guy his own age.

Sounds like an odd combination and an odd story, maybe that will work well for the film. Time will tell.
