Cher chatted with the Today Show (in her leopard print pajamas, naturally) about performing on The Voice, whether her Farewell Tour was indeed her farewell tour, the DOMA ruling, Chaz’s transition, and her love life.
Said Cher of the DOMA ruling: “I thought it was amazing. It should never have been a law. It should never have been anything. It shouldn’t have been a thought. It shouldn’t have been a passing thought.”

Cher made a brief appearance at Marquee in NYC, watching drag queens perform her songs, lip-syncing along to them, then warmly thanking gays for keeping her “in sequins forever.”
Matthew Rettenmund of Boy Culture has the details:
After 2:30 a.m., Cher magically appeared not on stage but up in the mezzanine, accompanied by her/Madonna’s publicist Liz Rosenberg and Andy Cohen. She looked fantastic, and was wearing an outfit strongly reminiscent of Madonna’s Super Bowl get-up. She did some photo ops and then watched the stage below as drag queens and others paraded in Susanne Bartsch-curated outfits and lip-synched to a bevy of Cher’s greatest hits, including “Half Breed,” “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves,” “Strong Enough” and “Believe.”
Charmingly, Cher—beaming!—was mouthing the words to her imitators and flashing devil horns (she’s still so rock ‘n’ roll, even when in disco-diva guise). After the show, she came down the stairs like a normal person (a normal person who was being photographed by every device known to man) and re-emerged, this time on stage with a DJ. Cher thanked us all, said it was great to be back in NYC and then told the gays:
“From the bottom of my heart, I mean this: I’ve had ups and downs in my career, and you guys have never left me. I was out, I was uncool, I was—whatever—a has-been. Whatever! But you guys have always been there, y’know?”
“Woman’s World” is the first song from her upcoming new Warner Bros. studio album, Closer To The Truth, which will be released on September 24th.
“Women’s World” features some of the world’s finest remixers/DJs each adding their flavor to the original including Danny Verde and R3HAB (see below).
“Woman’s World” is available now. Fans in the US and Canada can pre-order Cher’s new album on iTunes, Amazon or Cher.com.

Love the retro graphics in this lyric music video for Cher’s new single “Womans’s World.”
Cool. And now I know the real lyrics 🙂
A fan asked Cher on Twitter about her recorded duet with Lady Gaga – “The Greatest Thing,” saying fans have been waiting a long time.
Cher tweeted, “U Think You’ve Waited? It’s done & she doesn’t like it, or want it to come out.”
Cher brought up her concerns on The Voice last night, saying: ”I did a song with Gaga and I think it’s brilliant and I thought her performance was great but she doesn’t like it.”
Is Cher respecting Gaga’s artistic feelings? Or mocking her?
Can’t tell…
