Happy birthday to Cheryl Sarkisian LaPiere...

Better known as Cher!
The winner of an Academy Award, a Grammy, an Emmy and 22 Billboard Top 40 hits turned 61 on Sunday. It's a great time to celebrate a real star. She may have been a tabloid fave when she lived with the bagel maker half her age or divorced Soony Bono and Gregg Allman but she was always working whether it was on her weekly variety shows with and without Sonny, making records and movies and giving concerts. We knew why we were interested in her. These days, I have no idea why these "famous for being famous" people get so much attention for shopping or going to a club. Stop the madness!
Cher is the real deal! Plus, she's Chastity's mom!
