Okay: we totally understand how that little girl to the left feels right now. The incomparable, irresistable (and immortal?) Cher has announced that she will in fact inherit the echo chamber formerly occupied by Celine Dion's vein-bulging howl at the Caesar's Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas, NV. Beginning May 6th, she'll perform four nights per week for one month, and then return in August, switching off engagements with Bette Midler in a contract that extends for three years.
Sitting down for two interviews with USA Today, the living legend discusses life, love, paparazzi ("They're meaner now," she says, invoking the wisdom that only comes with vampirical age), and yes, THE GAYS:
"On every list, I was always on my way out," she tells
reporter Edna Gunderson, "Gay men understand that I understand what
it's like to be an outsider. To singers, I wasn't a singer. To actors,
I wasn't an actor. I know what it's like to fight for your place.
Besides, gay men are very choosy, and they have great taste."
We
also love a diva who changes wigs 199 times during a single hour-long
performance, and a bitch who knows out to eclipse Celine "fucking amazing" Dion without breaking a sweat.
"Creatively, we're doing something that's never been done with sets,"
Cher says of the extravaganza. "We can change a city into a forest in
two seconds. You'll see a different stage for every song."
We'll be
there with glitter, bindis, bellychains, headdresses, sequins, wigs,
crop tops, platform shoes, and bell bottoms on.
