As we mentioned before, we were totally IMPRESSED with Chaz Bono's first DWTS performance (above)!

Now, Chaz has opened up about his experience on Dancing With The Stars last night!

Here's what he had to say about it:

We wouldn't expect any less from her! Such an amazing mom!

In light of the controversy surrounding Chaz Bono's inclusion on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars, his mother, Cher, is reportedly expected to make a surprise guest appearance on the reality competition to show her support!

According to sources close to the icon, she hasn't confirmed which date she'll show up, but will be in the audience for at least one show - not to drive votes for Chaz, but to take a stand against the bigots who have criticized him for being transgendered and included with the contestants!

Wonderful!

Thanks for your support, gurl!

The time to end hate is NOW! And hopefully Chaz's bravery will open the eyes of many!

The response to our new book has been overwhelming!

We were very nervous about how The Boy With Pink Hair would be received, but it's been so heartwarming to see that it embraced with welcoming hands (buying the book)!

And, we've gotten some amazing quotes from a very eclectic group of celebrities, who read the book and love it too!

Here's what they have to say:

"I wish, when I was young, I had a book as touching and beautiful as this to teach me about the journey of self-acceptance." - Lady GaGa

"When I was little my mother said to me, 'Cher, different is just another word for special.' My mother was right and so is Perez. This is an adorable tale full of whimsy and meaning!" - Cher

"A story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt weird or different. (It's a) wonderful way to tell our children it's important to celebrate each other's differences and the things that make each child unique and special." - Gloria Estefan

"…A beautiful story about dignity, self-esteem, and the importance of parents' unconditional love. The social healing process begins when we focus on these values when raising our children." - Ricky Martin

"… A precious little story about being special, being accepting, understanding, tolerant and above all saying it's okay to be different." - Dolly Parton

"Whether it's pink hair or a little individuality, everybody has the right to be who they are, no matter what others say. " - Selena Gomez

ABC News interviews Chaz Bono amidst all the critics bashing his presence on Dancing With The Stars.

As he explains his focus has just been on the dancing, he genuinely fails to see what the big deal is about his gender.

…because, really, what IS the big deal?

Chaz insists he's just in it for the dancing, no political agenda, and that people who don't watch the show because of him, well, he thinks that's just crazy.

And we completely agree.

We also concur with his mother, Cher, when she says the vast majority will love him. A-MEN, sistah! A-MEN!

Watch the full interview above if you haven't already. His reactions to the questions are so sincere!

HOW DARE THEY.

Momma bear Cher protected her son Chaz Bono after "bigots" were attacking his decision to join the new season of Dancing with the Stars.

Cher took to her twitter to address the attackers:

Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap.

How on EARTH did this get lost in time?!

Back in 1978, Cher headlined a television variety special on ABC, and started the program by performing EVERY SINGLE PART in an epic, 12-minute rendition of West Side Story, and somehow, this very rare footage has made its way on-line, and EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE IT NOW!

Ch-ch-check out all of the vintage amazingness from Cher…Special (above)!

She is a goddess. There's nothing else to even say!

Now, if you don't mind, we're going to be playing this on loop for the next 15 days. Kthanks.

Does this please mother?

Apparently, Cher had no idea her son, Chaz Bono, was going to be on a contestant on Dancing With the Stars until ABC's official announcement.

Chaz says he was too scared to tell his diva moma before because "ABC put the fear of God" into him.

But now that she knows how does she feel? Chaz told
