Janet Jackson isn't the only diva cancelling shows due to health problems.

Cher is apparently suffering from asthma-related bronchitis.

That doesn't sound pleasant at all!

According to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the 62 year-old had to cancel her shows on Saturday and Sunday, which were her last performances there for the year, due to her bronchitis.

Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, claims Cher is actually suffering from "Vegas Throat."

That's apparently a condition that's caused by the dry dessert air.

However, reports state that Caesars spent millions of dollars installing a special humidifier in The Colosseum showroom, which was specially built for Celine Dion's show to protect her throat.

As for Rosenberg, she is also denying the rumors that Cher has chronic abdominal problems.

Caesars issued a statement saying that "Cher looks forward to her return to The Colosseum early next year with performances to be announced soon."

Get well soon, diva!

The ageless Tina Turner is about to embark on a 7-month world tour.

It's hard to believe that she is 68-years old!

The music legend has hired her trusty friend Bob Mackie (yes, the same guy who designs for Cher) to whip up the stuff that she'll strut in on-stage.

One of the designer's tour costume sketches was revealed on Tuesday (above).

There's no doubt that Tina will look amazing in that short, sexy, short, chocolate creation!

Did we mention SHORT???

Mackie said Tina's “leaning a bit more towards a rock-influenced look.”

So, there's going to be thigh-grazing dresses, beaded tops and shiny stretch pants accented by lacing, fringe, studs and jewels.

Delicious!

Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!
Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher! Cher!

This weekend we had the very special opportunity to not only see Cher's new show at Caesar's Palace in Vegas, but we also got to meet her afterwards!!!

This woman is a legend!!!!!

She's in her 60s and she's still singing and dancing. She's been doing this for 44 years now!

And, the new show at the Colosseum brilliantly encapsulates that storied career - taking you on a journey through her decades of hits and memorable moments along the way.

The show is everything you would want from a Cher concert - big production, stunning Bob Mackie outfits, dancers, aerialists, video montages and more.

The only, small, critique we have is that she does spend a lot of time offstage changing clothes. She has a new costume for practically every song!

But, it's a Cher show and you want those outfits. So it is what it is.

Above everything else, though, it's all about the music. And Cher has soooo many hits.

We saw the Bette Midler show at the Colosseum and we didn't enjoy her as much as Cher because Bette just doesn't have that many hits. It's all about the show.

However, the show is that much more special when everybody knows all the songs and they're singing along!

Cher's got the hits, the show, the comedy. Everything.

And she was sooooo nice when we met her. And spunky!

If you come to Vegas, you MUST check her out.

We believe!!!!

P.S. She's not playing Catwoman!

We thought this was a joke, but The Telegraph is a respected newspaper.

According to the UK's Telegraph, Academy Award-winner and music icon Cher is in talks to play Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the third installment of the revamped Batman film franchise.

A studio executive reportedly said,

"Cher is Nolan's (director) first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to her to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."

Crazy!

What do U think about Cher as Catwoman?

This is not your parents' jazz!

Say hello to Niia, a singer whose voice is as sultry as her looks.

This jazz upstart from New York has the potential to shake things up in the genre, who hasn't seen a female break through to the mainstream since Norah Jones and Diana Krall.

We've become enchanted with the following song from Niia, Bang Bang, a reinterpretation of the Cher classic.

Check it out below and then CLICK HERE to listen to some other fine tunes from Niia.

Another stupid idea coming to TV!

According to Variety, ABC is turning the book/movie Witches of Eastwick into a TV show pilot.

A lot of you probably weren't even born when Eastwick was released. But it was a GREAT film!

It's basically about three women who turn to witchcraft after losing the men in their lives. They conjure up a devil-like character, who then proceeds to seduce all three of them.

The movie starred Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Will ABC hire the movie cast??? Don't think any of them are very busy these days!

It would be Golden Girls meets Witches of Eastwick! Now that would be interesting.

Celebs are just selling their mansions all over the place, but now's not the time to sell. Is it????

Cher is the latest star to put her home up for sale.

The singer auctioned off most of the contents from her Malibu, CA mansion about two years ago.

And now she's ready to sell the property.

Cher is selling her Italian Renaissance-style villa, which was built back in 1992, for $45 million.

Yes, FORTY FIVE million!

The 14,000 square foot villa sits on 1.7 acres of land and overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

Her home was also featured in Architectural Digest back in 2002.

It's a three-story villa featuring six bedrooms with seven bathrooms.

There's a pool, tennis court, and guest house. It also has a gym, a theater, and multiple verandas.

Must be nice to be that rich.

No, that's not Michael Jackson.

It's Cherilyn Sarkisian, bitches!

The 62 years young legend was spotted leaving the Medical Buildings on trendy Bedford Blvd. in Beverly Hills on Thursday, and she did NOT look pleased to be ambushed by the oh-so-friendly paps.

The singer covered her face and ran to her car, using her long black hair and sunglasses as a shield, as she was accompanied by a male companion who held on to her arms.

So, what work did Cher get this time????

Lips? Botox? Face peel?

All of the above???

She's pulled a Mimi!

The National Enquirer reports in a splashy new cover that Cher has gone and gotten married!

And, as you would expect of her, she's wed a much much younger man!

The diva married a non-famous dude aged 36 (seen above).

She's 62!

The wedding took place in Vegas, and - thankfully - she's said to have made the former Hell's Angels dude sign a prenup.

Congrats, we guess!

Update: The cover is misleading!!!!

The Enquirer article says Cher is PLANNING on marrying this guy … HASNT happened yet.

Filthy liars!!!
