Georgia Holt is one of those fabulous women people should know about. Besides having given the world Cher, she's realizing a lifelong dream at 86.
Holt is the subject of "Dear Mom, Love Cher," a documentary on Lifetime Monday, May 6.Poised to release her first album, which she always wanted to do, Holt is open -- sometimes too open for her daughter -- about her life in this sweet special.
Incidentally, Cher's husky, strong voice sounds a lot like her mom's. Holt had tapes from songs she recorded decades ago rotting away in a garage. Cher knew someone who could salvage the sound and create an album. When Cher spoke with Zap2it, she was nudging her mom to finish the liner notes.
The documentary includes footage of mother and daughter singing together and brief clips of Cher's performances. Mainly, though, it focuses on telling family stories. Cher marvels at how her mother never gave up.

The Internet may actually melt down tonight. In a scenario not seen since a unicorn mated with a double rainbow and then bit its finger, Cher is slated to be in the audience of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" this week to cheer on her son, Chaz Bono.
Bono, who has had a remarkably solid run on the show despite some leg injuries, less-than-stellar dancing and early criticism from conservative groups about the inclusion of the first transgender dancer on the prime-time reality juggernaut, will also be getting some love from his stepmother, Rep. Mary Bono Mack, half-brother Chesare Bono, half-sister Georganne Lapiere Bartylak and girlfriend Jennifer Elia.
Chaz supporters and Cher fanatics have been waiting all season for the famously feather-loving movie star and pop icon to take a seat in the audience for the program. People magazine reported that Chaz confirmed the blessed news, spilling the beans that...

Actor Michael Madsen is a wanted man after police issued a warrant for his arrest over alleged child support debts.
The Kill Bill star failed to show up at a court hearing regarding his child and spousal support case earlier this month, prompting a judge to find him in contempt, according to documents obtained by TMZ.com.
A warrant was subsequently issued for Madsen's arrest and his bail has been set at $26,000 (£17,333).
Madsen is said to owe around $570,000 (£380,000) in back payments for child and spousal support.
He has been married three times - to actress Georganne Lapiere, Jeannine Bisignano, mother of his two sons, and his current wife Deanna Morgan.

He was the target of a hard search from The Bride in "Kill Bill." Now actor Michael Madsen finds himself wanted by another woman in relation to his past sins. And this time, it's no movie.

The warrant, which under United States law allows for the arrest and detention of the accused by any law enforcement officer, was issued after the 53-year-old Madsen failed to show up for a hearing regarding his unpaid support last week.
Whether he ultimately turns himself in or gets caught and brought to jail, Madsen will have to pay a hefty fine to get back out,...

This week! Do people have a right to be obnoxiously gay in public? What famous divas also have singing sisters? What popular songs are really gay duets? More!
Have a question about gay male entertainment or need life advice? Contact me here (and be sure and include your city and state and/or country!)
Q: I am curious about duets by mainstream artists with other men, specifically love songs, and more specifically overtly gay ones — or at least those that could be interpreted as such. I think back to RuPaul and Elton John’s remake of “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart” on his Duets album and how excited I was, novelty notwithstanding, that it was a duet between two men. I love the hell out of Robbie Williams because of his “Swing While You’re Winning” tribute album, because it has a straight-up gay duet with Rupert Everett and...
