Cher Has A Twitter Fit Over Franco’s Foiled Burlesque Tribute

Celebrities, check it out: there’s no such thing as deleting a tweet. If you throw a Twitter tantrum over not getting an Oscar nomination, like Cher did today, the internet will store it in full even after you declare a “disappointment pass.” Judging from her rant, the Academy not letting James Franco sing Burlesque‘s “You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me” at this weekend’s ceremony was insult to injury. “Ok this IS ME BEING A BABY ! MY HEART IS BROKEN ! I WAS UPSET AFTER WINNING THE GOLDEN GLOBE…James Franco was going to dress up in the “Welcome to Burlesque outfit & sing U Haven’t Seen the Last of me…I was OVER THE MOON ! cause even if I did get Snubbed by the music part of the Academy…How Cool was it to sing your song…To have YOUR SONG sung by James Fkn Franco in Your Outfit ! Well I guess his singing ( unlike his Acting Sucks )…But he COULD HAVE LIP SYNCED! oh well I’m all sour grapes! It was GREAT THAT HE thought the Song was good enough to try!”

She’s since deleted everything except a brief acknowledgment of James’ tribute, including a whole bit about how a “Blue Ribbon Panel” decides who gets an Oscar nom for song “Unlike ALL Actors Getting To Deciede Who The ACTOR Nominees will b!” But Cher did tweet one apology in regards to her freakouts: “One thing. Didn’t Know caps were shouting! Sorry! I’m SO out of the loop . Probably out of the loop Is outta the loop.” We’ll be surprised if Franco doesn’t make some reference to this drama on air Sunday.

Cher Gets All Kanye On Twitter For Being Slighted By The Oscars

Whenever Oscar nominations are announced there’s always one camp who get seriously pissed off—people who didn’t get a nod and therefore feel slighted (that’s an understatement). The Oscar nominations 2011 have been no exception. Although the most vociferous of the noms-haters may come as a bit of a surprise. It’s Cher who’s mad that Burlesque didn’t get a Best Song nomination (she’s in the movie , of course). She thinks they were robbed, tweeting, ” We didn’t get a nomination 4 best song! That sucks! Diane’s song Is so beautiful! It’s hard to understand how u win…” She continued her rant in the next tweet, “the Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is … the sun us still shining!” That wasn’t the end so do visit Cher’s Twitter account for the amusing read.

The reason why she’s got all Kanye West is because Diane Warren won Best Original Song at The Golden Globes for You haven’t seen the last of Me for Burlesque, and thanked Cher onstage for being an “eternal bad-ass.” Cher… it’s Burlesque. Which is probably going to be the new-Showgirls for humanity from now until the next really bad film comes out. It’s not that big of a surprise the Oscars shut it down.

Christina Blames “Hackers” For Leaked Photos, Plans Quick Pursuit

Christina Aguilera

If anyone’s going to release dirrty NSFW phots of Christina Aguilera in her video get-ups, it’s going to be Christina! Representatives for the singer are predictably blaming a “hacker” for the titillating backstage shots. “The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina’s personal stylist’s account,” says their statement. “The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera’s home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist.” Well, we guessed she wasn’t sexting Jordan Bratman.

“We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively,” promises Team Xtina. “Their conduct is reprehensible.” Aguilera didn’t let the internet skeevery get her down, though, joining Cher and the cast of Burlesque at a photocall in Spain. See photos of the stars in the gallery below.

Top 50 Worst Fashion Disasters Of 2010

5502

As you are perusing the Internet this morning, you are no doubt as hungover as we are from a combination of turkey coma, red wine and whatever the hell that dessert was that Aunt Bertha whipped up for Thanksgiving. And although yesterday was technically the day that we were supposed to give thanks for all that’s good in our world, we here at TheFABLife figured we’d give you something else to give thanks for this holiday weekend. Specifically, the fact that you’re NOT on our list of the Top 50 Worst Fashion Moments of 2010. That is, unless your name just so happens to be Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Ke$ha, Blake Lively, or one of the many other unfortunate souls who were included in this countdown. In which case, better luck next year!

Christina Aguilera Gets Her Star And Parties At The Burlesque Premiere

There’s only one thing thing that would make a celebrity get down on the ground (carpet or otherwise) in a slinky white dress, and that’s a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Christina Aguilera bagged some prime real estate while getting her star yesterday, as it’s right in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. She went all out for the occasion, busting out a Dior dress, Neil Lane jewelry and purr-fect leopard print Christian Louboutin heels, and gushed, “I’m looking forward [to] the moving coming out and this whole next chapter in my life, and I really couldn’t be more excited.”

Jordan Bratman, who? Divorce, what? Forget that, Christina’s on a roll now… and by that we mean bank roll, ’cause she’s reportedly raking it in ($1 mill for 1 hour of performing?). And to make it the best day ever for her, she got to party at her own premiere for Burlesque right after. We’re going to swallow our opinion of the movie because we’re happy for her (and because we’ve already made our feelings known, hah). Christina hit the carpet dressed in an gorgeous emerald green Elie Saab gown along with Cher, who showed off her gams in a short black sheer dress. Check the two ladies out and their band of merry co-stars and guests in the gallery below. [Photos:WENN]

Half-Naked Cher Turns Back Time

cher

Twenty years after she shocked the world with her “If I Could Turn Back Time” video—it was only shown after midnight!—Cher is still rocking leather and little else. The singer recalled those sailor-schwinging days at the “David Foster And Friends” show in Vegas this weekend, in a raunchy get-up she first wore in 1992. Looks like the “plastic surgery poster girl” is getting her money’s worth!

Check out the gallery for over thirty years of half-naked highlights from Cher.

Cher Thinks She’s Saner Than Octo-Mom

Plastic surgery addict Cher recently voiced a rather harsh opinion of Nadya Sulemon, best known these days as Octo-Mom. “I’m so negative against her,” said the singer, who once wore a sequined bikini-esque sheath to the Oscars. “She just shouldn’t have any of those children as far as I’m concerned. I know that’s going to get me in a whole mess of trouble, but I don’t know where her mind is. She says the strangest things. I don’t think she’s doing drugs, but she acts like someone who is not of this world. It’s like, ‘hello, come down to Planet Earth with the rest of us!’”

Cher’s obviously right, but her opinion is a bit odd considering – you know - that it’s coming from her kooky mouth. Perhaps the fact that she herself is not of this world makes it easier for her to identify fellow crazies? Insanity aside, their similarities can best be summed up in their surgically-enhanced faces. Octo-Mom may be desperate to look like Angelina Jolie, but clearly her surgeon’s aiming for Cher – and that look is definitely “not of this world.” [Photo: Splash News Online/GettyImages]
