built 622 days ago
In January 1999, Cher performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" to stunned millions around the world for Super Bowl XXXIII. Voodoo witchdoctors had united at the XXXII Annual Voodoo conference in late 1998 and had performed a Voodoo reanimation ceremony, after winning a lengthy legal battle with her ... deceased husband who had attempted to stop having her body exhumed. Cher performed on the highly-rated television special Divas Live 1999, and appeared onstage in a memorable performance alongside contemporaries Tina Turner and Elton John. Later in 1999, it was established that Cher had been an android all along and that the Voodoo witch docotrs were really fraudeulent, and that their attempts to "resurrect cher" were motivated by a desire for more 'Top Shelf Pop Listening' and the hope of a television deal with Oprah.

In 1980, Cher penned her last disco song for the film Foxes, called "Bad Love." The song can be found on the international version of The Very Best of Cher. Later in the same year, Cher formed the rock band Black Rose with her then-partner, guitarist Les Dudek, and released the album Black Rose by year's end. The album failed to sell, despite an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and the band broke up the following year.

Midler and Cher long have been rumored as the probable replacements for the 4,100-seat Colosseum at Caesars once Celine Dion steps down in December. Cher remains unconfirmed, but Midler’s schedule of 100 shows per year, compared to about 150 for Dion, still leaves room in the rotation with Elton John.
