You need to read Friedkin's autobiography for much more info Mary.
Revisiting Good Times and 3614 Jackson Highway
I totally missed this when it happened in 2017, but there's been a re-release of the movie Good Times. My friend Dave alerted me to the situation while we were in Amoeba Records in Los Angeles this spring. It's quite amazing and has me rethinking the movie. It's extras include an interesting in...
What you write is exactly how I felt about the whole thing...there were so many numbers being thrown around it gets confusing...but I am super proud of how well her album did and how much she and the crowds enjoyed her concert tour "down under". The Kennedy Centers came as a shock but a pleasant one at that....I am super excited about that above all that is going on with CHER this year. I wanted to show you a video edit I did for YOUTUBE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTaqjOtx5UY I fell in love with the song the first time I heard it so when I saw the video on youtube in a much longer clip from the CHER show I had it edited and posted it on YouTube. Bob Mackie is selling the gown she is wearing in the clip...it even traveled on the QE2 with Bob over to the UK for a promotional tour for the auction...ok in my mind they will play my YouTube clip of her doing this number on the Kennedy Center Honors...well one can dream!
Mixed Bag of Honors and Accomplishments
First of all Cher's Believe album will be out on vinyl in December. In Music A few weeks ago Cher's album Dancing Queen made its debut on the Billboard album chart at #3. This felt disappointing as Cher and the fans were aiming for #2. Although the album did hit #1 in the list for Top Album...
your feathers will regrow and like the proverbial phoenix, you will soar again!
Sometimes When I'm Down and All Alone
There’s so much to catch up on. It’s very daunting, all the words we need to think up for this year's Cherness. And I’m so, so very tired. This is a white-hot Cher year for sure. And so much is worthy of scholarship: reviews, commentaries (all more positive than we’ve ever seen them: a good Ro...
here is my list and I put them in the order I want them performed….in my dream concert.

Cher Puts Fans in the Driver's Seat with New Set List
If you are on the mailing list of Cher.com (which you should be if you are any kind of Cher zombie, Cher freak, Cher crew or Cher lovely), you received an email yesterday about visiting her new tour site and ranking 18 of the 50 listed songs to make your voice heard regarding her upcoming se...
OK that fireplace totally rocks! Your tree is very nice and I'm surprised it doesn't collapse under the CHER weight of all the dolls. High five Mr CHER Scholar for the Chiefs win today...
New Additions to the Cher Doll Christmas Tree
It's Christmas time again and so that means it was also the time to put up the Cher doll Christmas tree last week and take blurry pictures of it with my iPhone. This first picture shows my favorite Cher outfit and doll outfit (Foxy Lady) from the Cher show. And since full episodes of that show ...
I remember seeing some recipe by CHER for "Groovy Steak"…don't remember how it was fixed but the name just stuck in my head cause it made me laugh.
Cher Recipes for Food Holidays
Since we’re in the season of big family dinners, it might be fun to bright out the plethora of Cher recipes out there if you’re needing some Cher-themed inspiration for the holidays. When I was in Junior High, I fell deeply into the world of celebrity self improvement and fitness. This started ...
Reading the Strong Enough book right now. A good read for sure, plus you are mentioned in the credits!
CHER BOOKS!
Oh my God...three (THREE!) Cher books are on their way!!! Now I love books. And I'm a Cher fan. So Cher books make me crazy!!! Available now: You Haven't Seen the Last of Me by Daryl Easlea and Eddi Fiegel. Found out about this book on the Yahoo list. It's only found at Barnes and Noble for som...
the line about forgetting to make a new album....I think it was more about the enormous upheaval in the music business that has occurred since her last release. Probably one of her smartest moves as she has increased demand for new product from her. Without suffering some of the embarrassment of poor sales or being ripped off by having her whole album leaked and downloaded illegally.
Cher Appearances for Closer to the (VCR Alert)
OMG…last week was a killer Cher week and I was soooo freakin busy. I felt like I was on a treadmill running from job to class to The Voice to taking Mr. Cher Scholar to the airport, and all these Cher appearances and juicy album listening parties-for-one. This month feels like a turning point ...
two words for reading microscopic liner notes: magnifying glass
Reviews of New Cher Album
What a daunting task. Approaching my first Cher album on a blog post. The ritual of listening to a new Cher album and reading the liner notes is one of my favorite Cher things to do. But how many times do you need to listen to a new album before reviewing it? My friend asked me that last week ...
CHER will be interviewed and profiled on CBS Sunday Morning this next Sunday
Cher Album Preview, Interviews, VCR Alerts
The album is coming out in two weeks. Hook up your seat belts. This is exciting time! It's like a long, long wait is over. Wait a minute. A long, long wait is actually over. You can now preview Cher's album on iTunes. Go listen! Remember these save-the-dates: - Cher will be on David Letterman on...
Great post....
i gave up cable 3 years ago and don't miss it in the least...
Did you notice the top that Christina was wearing over her pink bra? I'm sure it was a gift from CHER and made my Kansas Cities own Michael Schmidt.
June 18, 2013: A Day of Chertasticness
The Single Woman’s World was released this week on June 18, 2013. I’ve been realizing over the last few days that this single is the first Cher single released in a post iTunes world, the first CD released entirely digitally. It makes me feel kind of naked and missing something as a collecto...

Not Bad for a Shy Girl
Thank you to Cher scholar Laurie Dudley who pointed out that Cher has hit a new milestone today: she has been recording for officially 50 years! Not bad for such a shy gal. Laurie says: "...pleasingly, Cher's release history now officially spans 50 years from backing vocals...
PBS showed a gr8 documentary on Roz Russell this week, I know CHER really admired her so I watched it and I can see why. A very normal but driven woman who gave selflessly to others and worked to find a cure of arthritis as well as living thru breast cancer and a double mastectomy. She was a brave woman who loved life ....like Mame said, "Life is a Banquet and most poor suckers are staving to death"
Cher's Third Week of TCM: Women at Work
I really enjoyed this week's set of movies for various reasons. What a refreshing reset from the depressing war movies last week. His Girl Friday (1940) - I've been hearing about this movie for years but had never watched it. I've been telling everyone how great it is since Saturday. Rosalind...
Phil helped to finance this film himself, and how did Lana know where the gun was in the entryway? What was his reason for wearing that afro wig to court? Did he have a secret recording device hidden inside it with a camera? ....hummmmmm
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector
In my stack of to-dos I have a post-it note with the title The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector and for the life of me I can't remember who recommended this to me. Was it Cher scholar Dishy, JimmyDean or Robrt? Was it someone at work? Anyway, I watched it yesterday and it's a BBC documenta...
the records were 78rpm not 48 rpm, they were very heavy and shattered if you dropped them on the floor. My mother has a whole collection that she kept in a book or album like they would use for photos. She also had a really cool 78 record player that was embossed with crocodile skin and u played the records by sliding them in a slot in the front and pushing a button.
Cher's First Week of TCM: Motherhood
Cher did her first guest host stint on Turner Classic Movies in September of 2011. Here are links to my reviews of The Big Street, Follow the Fleet, Hobson's Choice, and Lady Burlesque. Last Friday, Cher and Robert Osbourne launched her month-long program of guest hosting in April starting with...
this is a gr8 book and has so much history in it...the house on carolwood is now on a private gated street and both houses on either side have been bought, razed and folded into the carolwood estate which is now owned by the widow of on of the big scamming mortgage companies
141 S. Carolwood Drive, Holmby Hills
New book on that fabulous and mysterious house Sonny & Cher owned in the early 70s, bought from Tony Curtis (the second house they bought from Tony Curtis, that is) on Carolwood avenue off the Sunset Strip. Full article from The Hollywood Reporter Exerpt: A new book spotlights 20th Century Fox ...
OK so what is the big coffee table book on CHER you mentioned?
Being Chaz
Honestly, I have been feeling a bit of Chaz-fatigue lately and so I’ve missed all the talk show episodes from Andersen Cooper to Wendy Williams. You can probably find video clips online. Someone on the Yahoo list sent around the Howard Stern transcript: http://www.marksfriggin.com/news11/11-14....
Mary it is really adorable I wanted to suggest one of the Jonas Brothers Dolls for the Rob Camiletti figure. Also a nice touch for Gregg Allman would be a new liver in a box since he got a liver transplant this year!
Mary Christmas to you!
Husband Plots Against Cher Scholar
It's been a very crazy month and I've been lagging with my blogging. But Cher Scholar is exhausted. We got back from Cancun early in the month and then went right into Thanksgiving prep. My mother-in-law Donna came for the long weekend (and I love it that she was so enthusiastic about seeing ...
CHER Tapping? WTF please explain i'm Corn-fused by that and can't find anything in the link that explains it.
The Burlesque Movie Review
There's a lot of Cher stuff to talk about and I'd love to cover all the press appearances she's done, print and TV, for this movie. But that will have to wait until next week. The pressing question now is: how was Burlesque, which opened the day before Thanksgiving competing against Harry Pot...
mary,
thanks for the shout out
CHER has taped her appearance on "LIVE with Regis and Kelly" this week in NYC and t will run on the 19th. Oh about that "puppy mill" bill...yes they passed it but are already trying to kill or change this bill for the worse and not enforce what people voted for

The Burlesque Countdown! Many Alerts!!
Hold on, kids!! A lot is going on. Don’t fall off the Cher train. Be on the lookout for new TV clips, magazines, songs and useless junk to fill your fan-shelves. I know…how can we be so excited about Burlesque when our country is going to hell in a hand-basket. Well, at least the Puppy Mill Pr...
