Barely one month ago, we watched Cher's son, Chaz Bono, propose to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Elia on the reality show, Being Chaz. Taped in May, he popped the question as her birthday present and offered her a big, beautiful ring. It was super romantic, considering he took her to the Seattle space needle for its great view to do it.
2011 has been a big year for Chaz Bono, after he gained fame for performing in the top eight on Dancing With The Stars. To cap it off, Cher's daughter-turned-son shared his proposal (which happened in May) to longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Elia, in a one-hour special, Being Chaz, which aired this past Sunday on OWN.
Today, October 11, is National Coming Out Day. It's a day that should be celebrated by everyone: gay, straight, lesbian, transgender or bisexual. It's a celebration of people being honest with themselves and the people who care about them—a very honorable thing. The following 9 celebrities announced their sexual orientation the best way they knew how, and they all admit it was the best decision they've ever made. Hopefully, their experiences will inspire others today to come out from hiding. If they could do it, so can you.
It's time to break out those dancing shoes again! The TV world is all abuzz with the upcoming premiere of the celebrity dance competition on Sept. 19, and especially with the announcement of the Season 13 cast this past Monday, ABC and Dancing With The Stars made history by casting Chaz Bono, its first transgendered contestant.
Christina Aguilera and Cher seem to have more than fishnet stockings and amazing pipes in common. The co-stars in what will be this Thanksgiving's most notorious fluff flick, Burlesque, apparently hit it off smashingly on set. According to People, the twosome bonded over an unlikely topic: divorce. "We were like old chatty girlfriends that could not stop talking," Aguilera says. "They had to drag us to set a few times because we were late just talking about love and relationships and life."
With a career spanning almost 50 years, it's not surprising that Cher, 64, has had her share of romantic flings with co-stars and other Hollywood hotties. However, we never would have suspected that the singer would kiss and tell, like the way she did recently during an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. With Letterman grilling her about her rumored list of lovers, Cher confessed to sleeping with some major names, including Tom Cruise, Warren Beatty, Eric Clapton and Gene Simmons. But, she made it clear that, while she might have taken a stroll around the Hollywood block, she was definitely the most virginal of all of her friends during the '70s and '80s.
It's official: Cher and Sonny Bono's daughter is a man, baby! In September, Chaz underwent "irreversible surgery" to change his "sex characteristics from female to male," and yesterday a judge granted his petition for a legal name and gender change. Now that Chaz is a man, he could legally marry longtime girlfriend Jennifer Elia.
Chaz Bono, the only child of gay icon Cher and the late Congressman Sonny Bono, has filed papers in California Superior Court to officially change his name and gender.
Chaz Bono has always been very public about his ongoing transition from female to male, and continued to be courageously upfront—discussing how he made the decision, gender identity and public reaction—during an interview on "Good Morning America."
