Cher...Pop Diva's final shows at Caesar's Palace! January 11th - February 5th!

 

Cher - the unsinkable legendary Pop Diva - is gearing up for a round of "Final Shows" to kick-off at the Colosseum on January 11th.

If 'ya missed the last couple of sell-out gigs in the desert oasis - listen up

This may be the Pop Diva's last bodacious bow.

Rumor has it that the old trooper - still able to trip-the-light-fantastic with a modicum of flair & ease - is about to hang up a drawer-full of soiled silky g-strings - and bevy of bejewelled feathers and billowing boas - for a life in the slow lane (if she has her druthers).

You go, girl!

X Factor...sleazy Christina Aguilera tease causes uproar in England! Simon says...

Hell hath no fury like a prudish English bloke scorned!

Just ask forgus beylans at the fleet street tabloids across the big pond.

Ofcom, the British watchdog that regulates the airwaves in normally-jolly old England, has announced that they will conduct an investigation stemming from a raucous incident which scandalized Brits in recent days on snooty Simon Cowell's popular telly entertainment Show (X-Factor).

And - you thought that Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake - boobed the light-fantastic a moon or two ago - eh?

Ha!

According to sources, Christina Aguilera is in the hot seat for stripping down to sexy sweet-nothings impromptu - in front of approximately 14 million viewers.

To some - a heart-pumping-performance of two tunes from the soundtrack of her new flick (meant to evoke the raunchy appeal of pole dancing while boosting potential Burlesque ticket sales) - was "too orgasmic" for the dinner hour between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the evening.

In fact, a daily rag published out of London, labelled the daring show-stoppers featuring Aguilera (and Rihanna) an outright "storm of sleaze".

In fact, one journalist lamented:
"The message it sends out to a young and impressionable audience is so debasing and depressing."

Although a spokesperson for X-Factor swore up-and-down that the titillating gyrations were "appropriate" - a hail of angry tirades from viewers - tended to infer in the ugly mud-slinging aftermath it was simply not the case.

Ofcome was allegedly inundated with a flood of complaints - 2,750 - to be exact.

And, ITV - which aired the dirty laundry cum bill-of-fare - received 1500 protests criticizing the racy sexually implicit rant.

At this juncture, the meaning of "X" in the show's title, must be painfully obvious by now.

Simon should re-title the hit - "The Bump 'N Grind Effect" - eh?

Cher...comments about "old" fans & oxygen tanks insulting! Last gig @ Caesar's...

Rags to Rags

"I'm often mistaken for a Cher impersonator," the sexy sixties pop icon joked to Dave Letterman this week after plunking herself down on the coach on the set of the late night talk fest.

But, it was the asssessment of her audience, that may have offended a few of her die-hard fans, though.

"They're old," she seemed to shudder at the thought!

The fact that these golden-oldies showed up with their oxygen tanks in tow (her words, not mine) caused her to opine that the upcoming gig @ Caesars Palace (Las Vegas) may be her last.

On that note, the Bob Mackie (middle-aged) Barbie, was inclined to protest about the price of the tickets.

"My young fans can't afford the venue," she lamented.

Well, about a free concert or two in park, Cher?

Apparently the award-winning chanteuse is a bit miffed about becoming a joke in the macho set.

After all, folks have reported back that they've heard unkind remarks about her, when it comes to a trek to the glitzy Hotel in the desert oasis.

"I'm going to take 'ya to see that old lady at Caesars while I go off and gamble," two-fisted beer-drinkers have been known to chortle.

OMG!

Has the sultry siren lost her sex appeal?

Meanwhile, Dave was surprisingly keen on tackling all fronts, as he held her captive on live TV.

"Was you son "Chaz" a lesbian before he got the sex change," he probed, as a hush fell over the room.

Cher nodded in the affirmative.

During the course of the conversation the aging cougar admitted that it was a difficult situation from the get-go.

"If I was in a man's body, I'd be so unhappy," she added, without blinking-an-eye.

So, she summarizly gave Chastity the nod.

No word on the scuttlebutt.

Did Momma pay for the expensive transformation?

I laughed when toothy Letterman zeroed in on Cher's love life.

"You dated Warren Beatty," he started off slowly.

"Yes."

"And, Tom Cruise?"

"Yes."

Although there was a perfect opportunity for Dave to quiz her about the allegations that Cruise is "gay", he gave a wide berth, and avoided that potential controversy.

Gosh, he didn't even bring up the subject of Scientology.

By the end of this titillating segment, Dave was posing a mighty personal question.

"Have you slept with 100 men, then?"

The audience roared.

"Well, everyone was promiscuous in those days," Cher offered up in her defense.

When the touchy issue of the Rock 'n Rock Hall of Fame Award reared its ugly head, she remained pretty low-key.

Just maybe, Cher realizes now that her whining in Vanity Fair didn't do much to bolster her image.

Cry baby!

But, the Pop Icon managed to slide in a slight, before she signed off.

"It's all about coolness," she teased.

Say what?

It's not about the music?

Chaz Bono...LA TIMES spotlights Cher's "son" on red carpet! Cher's hairy legs!

Much in the tradition of the New York Times - the staff at the LA TIMES cast caution to the winds this weekend - when they opted to publish a red-carpet publicity still of Cher's "son" at the "Burlesque" premiere in Hollywood earlier this week.

Chaz Bono was pictured beaming (in her new sexual skin) alongside current girlfriend Jennifer Elia.

Christina Aguilera was dazzling in an emerald green gown that flattered.

Other cast members - Julianne Hough, Cam Gigandet and Stanley Tucci - were well-received by a gaggle of paparazzi who snapped away at a fever pitch!

Was it just me, or did the photograph of Cher give off the impression she has hairy legs?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Julian Ayrs 3rd Annual Best/Worst Dressed...Men & Women on alert!

 

Oh, I can't believe it is just about that time again!

As December rolls around, I will start compiling my Best & Worst Dressed lists - with a focus on the Men & Women who sashay into the sizzling glare of the daily spotlight in glitzy Film & TV Entertainment circles, the staid Political arena, provocative Music industry - you name it!

Uh-huh!

I will be scouring the red carpet, perusing the supermarket tabloids - and surreptiously taking an up-close gander at publicity stills caught on the fly by the ravenous International paparazzi - in a bold-faced searing effort to crown the chic fashionistas - and likewise - banish the stylish flops who turned-out pathetically (as ugly swans) this past year!

If you recall - last December - Lady GaGa garnered her own special category:

Best-Dressed / Worst-Dressed Pop Diva

Unfortunately, there is no category for "meat" this year, so the Pop Temptress may be SOL!

Meanwhile, celebrities like - Cher, Emma Thompson and Barbra Streisand - may wash out once again once I start to rustle up the run-down for the worst-dressed of 2010.

A posse of dudes held up well under close scrutiny the last time out - Blair Underwood (actor), Brian Williams (TV news anchor), and President Barack Obama - to name a few.

At a screening the other evening - a fan of Johnny Mathis - put in a plug for the crooner with the golden pipes who still has the uncanny ability to make the ladies (and dudes) swoon!

"He's 75 years old, but he still looks sharp in his turtle necks, and classy suits," she gushed!

Uh-huh!

We'll see, dahlink!

If you have any suggestions, do pass 'em along, eh?

The fashion appraisal - with a nod to Mr. Blackwell - is due out on New Year's Eve.

Best a** of 2010?

Burlesque...angry mob storms into night! LA Weekly screening a fiasco!

Earlier this evening a posse of Cher fans were literally seeing red - when they were turned away from a Grove Theatre screening of her latest flick "Burlesque" - in spite of the fact they held precious invites in their greasy little palms!

Obviously - LA WEEKLY (a sponsor of the highly-publicized event) overbooked the ballyhooed sneak preview - in a concerted effort to ensure that all the plush seats were filled (if only to save face to industry execs at-large who have been predicting doom-and-gloom from the early development phase).

The guests (in the 18-to-30 demographic age-range) waited patiently for almost two hours - in a convoluted line that zig-zagged this way 'n that in a ridiculous fashion about the dismally-small lobby - before a rude insulting usher suddenly appeared from nowhere and shooed them away from the entrance to the screening room.

"The theatre is seated to capacity," he snapped at the startled filmgoers, without any explanation for the long wait, or even ounce of empathy or compassion for their plight.

Fans of the two lead stars (Cher and Christine Aguilera) were ready to burn their CDs - just betcha - in the horrendous aftermath that followed.

According to insider buzz, the bloated paltry offering, is about to be dubbed a gigantic commercial flop.

Uh-huh!

Cynics are joking that this ceremonial turkey is arriving just in time for the critics to carve it up into itsy-bitsy little pieces for the upcoming thanksgiving holiday next week.

Soon, it will be set adrift down the river, to DVD hell (or late-night boob-tube oblivion, whichever comes first), thank God!

Cher, heap-loads of botex injections won't be able to mask this disaster.

Amen!

Bump & Grind Disaster flick!

Ronni Chasen...murder stuns Hollywood power-players!

Shortly before she was murdered the other evening in Beverly Hills - gangland-style - Ronni Chasen posted a "to do" list of chores to carry out the next day at her upscale PR office just a heartbeat away from the site of the ghastly slaying.

And, earlier that evening - the charismatic publicist mingled with the power elite (at a chi-chi after-party for the feature film "Burlesque" starring Cher) - seemingly without a care in the world.

According to industry-insiders, the sixty-four-year-old blond - familiar and well-known in show-biz circles - was well-liked, too.

But, for some inexplicable reason, an assassin plugged her body with half-a-dozen-or-so bullets at approximately 12:28 a.m. on Whittier Drive on a quiet tree-lined drive the other evening.

A neighbour who heard the shots - and glanced out the window a few seconds later - reported that the victim was alone in the car and that no one was spied fleeing from the scene.

Which begs the question.

Was it a spontaneous killing triggered by road rage, perhaps?

Or, was it a planned attack, carried out with expert precision by an unknown assailant?

Ms. Chasen started her professional career as an actress on a soap opera, and over the years, ended up landing a post as a top publicist at MGM Studios.

A seasoned pro in the publicity end of the business, Chasen was considered a top dog, when it came to garnering attention (and much-needed publicity) for a film project.

In recent years, the once-married high-profile Hollywood publicist, worked on successful campaigns for celebrated flicks such as the Oscar-winner "Hurt Locker".

Randall Wallace, the director of "Secretariat" (a current box-office hit), confided to a reporter that he was slated to meet with Ms. Chasen yesterday afternoon to launch an Oscar campaign for that sure-fire contender.

For the most part - friends and business associates recalled that Chasen was a likable individual - and a real down-to-earth charmer.

Meanwhile, one producer - Irwin Winkler - fessed up in an interview with a daily just yesterday, that Chasen tended to be fiercely protective and overly-devoted to her clients.

Apparently, Chasen screamed at the Foreign Press Association (Golden Globe Awards), when they passed over his project "De-Lovely".

Maybe there was an enemy or two lurking in the shadows?

Cher...pulling a Streisand with Rock 'n Roll Hall of fame!

Cher is trying to pull a Barbra Streisand!

In a recent Vanity Fair interview, the POP DIVA - with the scary plastic demeanour - is whining about the fact that she & Sonnny were never bestowed with the prestigeous honor of being inducted into the legendary "Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame" - in spite of the fact they wailed away and topped the heady pop charts for a string of rag-tag decades.

For years, Streisand moaned and groaned about being passed over for a Best Director Award (Oscar), because of sexist attitudes she alleged ran rife in an old boy's network that predominated in the whiskey-soaked boardrooms (and notorious bedrooms) of the elite power-brokers of Hollywood.

Finally, the coveted Golden Statuette bowed down to Bab's pu**y - at which point - second-hand rose trotted on down the yellow-brick-road to dedicate herself to worthy charitable causes.

Amen!

Cher has now taken up a similar self-serving ballsy cause - in a bold-faced effort to twist a few guitars - with the ultimate aim of landing herself in the illustrious halls of show-biz Rock 'n Hall Fame.

But, Ms. Pop Icon of yesteryear, overlooked one glaring fact.

The prestigious award goes to a rock 'n roll artist deserving of the honor.

Cher (& Sonny) - though a novelty act that entertained weekly to top ratings on the old boob tube - didn't come close to attaining the lofty achievements that are a prerequisite to rock infamey!

"Sonny was a good writer. And, no one was doing anything like we were at that time," Cher wailed to one interviewer at the slick glossy fashion mag.

Nope!

Can't recall anyone else belting out a pop tune attired in a bearskin vest with a gaggle of baubles to boot.

Just maybe, Cher deserves the Bump & Grind Award of Shame, eh?
