Cher's Pronouns Are "F**ked"


I love Cher. Can't help it. I always will and she is so funny in her interview with Vanity Fair coming out in their next issue. In the interview she talks about Chaz and his gender reassignment surgery and Cher is so supportive of it but also shows that it can be a difficult adjustment for Cher and also what it would be like if she suddenly woke up in a man's body.

"If I woke up tomorrow in a guy's body, I would just kick and scream and cry and f------ 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. I couldn't imagine it."

Cher went on to say, "She's a very smart girl--boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are f-----. I still don't remember to call her 'him.'"

It is a great interview and you really should read it. Cher is not shy about anything and talks about her kids are still dealing with past issues that Cher gave them and how they are working to overcome them all. It is rare for anyone to admit their faults, let alone a celebrity, but Cher is willing and I like her even more for it.

  1. Love her too. Always have. Always wil. What a life she's had so far. I miss her interviews with Barbara Walters and even when she'd walk out unannounced on the Tonight Show.

  2. Love her honesty. Most parents with more than one child get their proper names mixed up.

  3. My inlaws are Armenian. the pronoun confusion is normal coming from some other languages that don't have distinct pronouns for him/her.

    Very funny when my mother in law refers to my brother in law as she-he.

  11. I remember her talking about her first boob job. She said I didn't make them bigger, I just put them back where they belong.

  12. cher ffffing rocks. i remember way back when she was in some interview and was getting cross-examined about her plastic surgery and she said "if i want to put tits on my back, it's nobody's business but my own"

    it's also really great how supportive she's been about chaz. glad to see this becoming more of a natural topic and less of a loathsome taboo issue.

    brava cher!!!

  13. Cher, the way you would feel if you woke in a man's body is the way Chaz probably felt for many years of his life pre-transition hence the substance abuse and medicating with food. Chaz was unable to adjust to a female body and had to live his truth. Not that hard to adjust to for the person dealing with it Cher!

  14. LOVE Cher.

    Does the magazine name the models strutting with her? That blond, far right screen, is WOW.

  16. I remember sitting on the den floor religiously watching the Sonny and Cher show, and one time my Mom said she read in a magazine that Cher's bustline measurement was 29". 29"!!!

    Also recall how she always licked her top lip all the time but did it so she wouldn't muss that high gloss. The dresses so sequined they must've weighed 15 lbs. And that hair!

    It was all very WOW to a 1970's 4th/5th grader with exactly three TV channels, lemme tell ya.
