Buy Cher's new album 'Closer To The Truth' from Amazon.
MAME is one role I have always hoped to see Cher in. They wanted to re-make MAME the musical with Cher as Mame. The music from Mame is gorgeous and it would suit Cher so well!
ReplyDeletethat was on the works for long time,they wanted her since they found her voice ideal, modern, i forgot what happened with that project
ReplyDeleteI love that she really uses her own Diva Pasta label. Thats cute somehow and ironic at the same time. She's cool. I am a huge fan but didn't know about 18 or 20 things. I like what Hawking said to her, being a historian myself. And i would love to hear the story behind her driving a car in NYC in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeletei wonder if driving a taxi at 4am was when she filmed MOONSTRUCK?
