Cher believes her transgender son is the "same child" just in "different wrapping". The 65-year-old singer found it "very hard" to adjust her mindset when Chaz Bono - who was born a woman named Chastity and began gender reassignment surgery around three years ago initially had a sex change, but she thinks people should forget any "preconceptions" they have because he is a "wonderful person". She told TV talk show host Anderson Cooper: "As a mom, you have a child, and then all of a sudden you have a different child. But you have the same child. And so, it's very hard to kind of twist your mind around to the adjustment. But then, when you look at it and you're around your child, you just think, no difference. Same child, different wrapping. "There are some people that are never going to be able to move out of their comfort zone. But I think that when people could see Chaz and see what a wonderful person he is, and kind ...

Cher was always supportive of Chazs transformation, but she admits that coming to terms with reality was challenging. "As a mom, you have a child and then all of a sudden, you have a different child, but you have the same child. So it's very hard to kind of twist your mind around to the adjustment, Cher explained to Anderson Cooper on his eponymous talk show. But then when you look at it, and you're around your child, you just think, 'Oh, no difference.' Same child, different wrapping." Cher loves her son deeply.

Cher, speaking by phone as Chaz was interviewed on Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show, Anderson , told the CNN anchor that she was upset with the judges' treatment of her son. "I just thought they were rude," Cher, 65, told Cooper in the episode, which is set to air Tuesday. "And it was gratuitous rudeness, and I was just pissed off. I was just really upset. Not that Chaz was voted off, but that they were so disrespectful."

Bono, 42, was the show's first transgender contestant . Cher acknowledges it was difficult to hear about Chaz's desire to transition from female to male . ...

Cher broke down in tears on Tuesday (25Oct11) after her son Chaz Bono was voted off U.S. TV show Dancing With The Stars. The transgender star and his professional partner Lacey Schwimmer were kicked off the contest after ending up at the bottom of the leaderboard for their Phantom of the Opera-inspired tango. Bono took the result in his stride as he cited "struggling" youngsters as his inspiration for joining the show. He said, "I took so much away from this. This was an amazing journey that really pushed me and showed me that I could do so much more than I ever thought I could. I came on this show because I wanted to show America a different kind of man. I dedicate everything I did to all the people out there like me, especially the kids and teens who are struggling. You can have a wonderful, great life and be successful and happy."

Cher has lashed out at a judge on U.S. TV show Dancing With The Stars after he ridiculed her son Chaz Bono's ballroom skills on Monday night. The transgender star has been competing with professional dancer Lacey Schwimmer in the contest, and on Monday, they performed a Phantom of the Opera-inspired tango as part of the show's Broadway week. The routine failed to impress the judges, with panellist Bruno Tonioli comparing his moves to "a cute little penguin trying to be a big menacing bird of prey". And the comments hit a nerve with Bono's superstar mum, who took to Twitter to take Tonioli to task over his remarks. She writes, "That guy has no room 2 (to) talk "Little penguins"...

There are solid pop songs on the album due out November 7 but her rapping won't win over hip hop purists who listen to her idol Nicki Minaj. The track Playa Boi also unwisely samples Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance. Cher's sound works best when it's light and poppy on songs Grow Up, End Up Here and Superhero which remind you of early Lily Allen. She'll only sell a fraction of what One Direction will shift, but Cher will certainly be able to afford a full-length pair of tights after this release.

The living legend actively responds to questions from her followers and talks about all those things you're not supposed to (hello, politics !). But one thing that's come up again and again that Cher has been stepping around is her duet with Lady Gaga, "The Greatest Thing." The song was supposed to drop in late-September, but still hasn't seen the light of day, and fans want to know why. For her part, the reason for the delay seems to be the only thing Cher won't address directly on Twitter. Instead, the music legend has been tossing out sarcastic responses when asked and yesterday told fans she is "never telling you guys early again!" ! She didn't, however, actually say when the much-anticipated song would be released. Read on for a bit more insight into "The Greate...

Cher may have been full of emotion last week as she watched her son, Chaz Bono, glide across the "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom floor , but her tears aren't saving her from comedian Joan Rivers' watchful eye. "Cher was crying and no one knew, Joan joked, pulling her face back, implying Cher has had a little work done. Tears were coming out the side of her head. Chaz is now the son she never had -- oh yes, she has the other one. Sonny and Chers only child together, Chaz Bono, was born on March 4, 1969. Divorced in 1975, Cher then married her second husband, rock star Gregg Allman, the same year before welcoming their son, Elijah Blue Allman. I feel sorry 'cause Richard Simmons was also at 'Dancing With The Stars' that night, Joan laughs. And a gay man in the same room as Cher loses focus. All the gays were in a tizzy.
