Cher's Unforgettable Oscar Dresses... Part Two

By now, you have probably seen the first part to "Cher's Unforgettable Oscar Dresses" and now we take a look at the rest - starting with something very special!

Cher managed to steal the limelight at the 1986 Academy Awards by wearing this memorable Bob Mackie outfit. Widely known as something of a 'statement' dress, Cher wore this outfit because the 'Academy' failed to nominate her for her highly-acclaimed starring role in the 1985 hit "Mask." It worked well because the outfit is undoubtedly one of the most famous Oscar dresses of all-time.

Chaz May Sue Magazine Over Death Claim!

Cher's son Chaz BonoCher's son Chaz Bono is upset at a report predicting that he'll die by 2015, and wants an apology!

Chaz Bono, the 42-year-old son of Sonny & Cher, was riled by a report in the 'National Enquirer' earlier this month; an article's headline in the publication read "Chaz Bono - Only 4 Years To Live."

An 'expert' was quoted in the article claiming that Bono's weight, along with the variety of medications associated with his gender reassignment, could increase the likelihood of an early death.

However, Bono has slammed the report, and his lawyers have issued a letter to bosses at the publication demanding a retraction and apology, branding the story "blatantly false and defamatory".
