Cher Discusses Obama Support, Cancer Rumors

Billy Bush of ‘Access Hollywood’ sat down with music icon Cher to discuss politics and set the record straight on rumors about her health. The singer was wearing a “Ba-Rack The Vote” t-shirt and spoke about her support for Barack Obama. “I honestly think that there are some people that are healing people and there are some people like this president that we have right now - he says he’s the big decider but I think he is the big divider.”

As for those speculating she had cancer, Cher said, “If I had cancer everyone would know it. I wouldn’t tell them but somebody would. You know when you have those kind of things happen, if you’re famous you can’t keep them secret.” Watch the interview, aired Thursday (October 30) on the ‘Today’ show below.

Okay, I’ll tell you something that happened and this is the truth. One night I got so excited by you guys. I was at a concert and it was so exciting they’re like, ‘Boo, boo,’ and then I said, ‘Oh, they’re a bunch of little hoes aren’t they?!’ Yes. But don’t you know, two of them were really angry and didn’t think it was a joke. No, no, I’m not gonna mention any names. Well, all right but, big butt! Yes. She was a little pissed off. But I don’t blame her. She doesn’t understand that I’m just kidding when I call her a little hoe, you know. It’s just my sense of humor. I call myself a little bitch, they’re little hoes. It just works for me, you know. So, whatever, so whatever. I have to proceed with the show, and those girls are coming, so we have to prepare ourselves.

Cher Phones Into C-SPAN After Visiting Wounded Troops

Cher has waded into the debate over the war on Iraq, saying she was shocked by a recent visit to a hospital for wounded American troops. Cher unexpectedly phoned a C-SPAN without saying who she was and condemned the way maimed soldiers were being “hidden” from the public. She said a recent visit she made to see injured soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington was “the most heinous thing I have ever seen.” Speaking on C-Span Cher, 57, said: “The thing I was most shocked by as I was walking into the hospital, the first person I ran into was a boy that was about 19 or 20 years old who had lost both of his arms. Everyone had lost either one limb or two limbs. A couple of the boys told me it was because their vehicles - the rockets pierce their vehicles so much - it`s like being in a kind of tin can. These boys had the most unbelievable courage, they felt it was their duty. And it took everything I have as a person to not, you know, break down.” She asked why President George Bush and senior administration officials were not “taking pictures with all these guys.”
