Thank you for being a cunt: Cher offered “Golden Girls” guest role and never even bothered to respond

I doubt Cher even heard about it.

And we have a new troll it seems, one dedicated to spewing hatred at Cher...

R2 = Georganne LaPiere, hoping to be in the will.

Oh, this is so exciting!

Cher was winning an Oscar, building her movie career, and making a comeback on the pop charts when 'The Golden Girls' was on. She probably didn't have time to make an appearance on a sitcom. Or they probably couldn't afford her.

yeah that episode was broadcast in 1990 when she was still making films.

"Bitter feud between Betty White and Bea Arthur"

Lesbian drama.

Her management probably put the offer in the "don't bother telling Cher" pile.

I can't imagine Cher in that role. she is too larger than life to be believable as the character. She only appeared on Will & Grace as herself.

Cher always made excellent career choices.

Well, it was good enough for Sonny Bono.

Cher was a joke with her infomercials. She had had body-sculpting plastic surgery and went on to do gym and fitness commercials as if that was how she maintained her body.

R12- My THIGHMASTER commercials were much more dignified.

No, thank YOU for being a cunt...

Smart decision, though I would assume R8 has it right: she probably didn't snub the offer, it more likely never reached her eyes or ears.

She has made some curious career choices over six decades, but not doing a small part on the shitty Golden Girls seems the right decision.

She also turned down The X-Files despite claiming to be a fan. That episode had Mulder and Scully attend a Cher concert and dance to "Walking in Memphis" while wearing boxy 90s business attire. They had to hire a Cher impersonator and keep her face obscured.

Cher, you fucking idiot!

Brenda Vaccaro was perfectly cast as "Big Sally."

When Sophia went on and on lamenting Phil’s penchant for cross dressing, Cher would’ve slapped her and yelled “Snap out of it!”.

Funner the first time we did this.

GOLDEN GIRLS (1985-1992) was consistently among the Top 10 shows in the ratings for 6 of its 7 seasons.

During Season 7 (1991-1992) it fell to #30 because they fucked up with its time slot.

The episode in question "Ebbtide's Revenge" was from Season 6 (1990-1991).

Incidentally, Sonny Bono guest-starred as a spoof of himself in the episode "Mrs. George Devereaux" (also from Season 6) when he was mayor of Palm Springs (1988-1992).

It could have been a reunion of sorts between her and Estelle, who appeared in Mask as Cher’s mother.

And who could forget this Sonny & Cher cameo from the Season 5 episode "An Illegitimate Concern"? 😂

[quote] She also turned down The X-Files despite claiming to be a fan. That episode had Mulder and Scully attend a Cher concert and dance to "Walking in Memphis" while wearing boxy 90s business attire. They had to hire a Cher impersonator and keep her face obscured.

She admitted that she now regrets turning that down.

And boxy business attire or not, man, M&S looked gorgeous dancing together.

R20 - Maybe she ir her management didn't want her to appear if Sony already had a cameo in the same season.

Cher would have been distracting because it was Cher sitting around with a bunch of old hags.

This story sounds like a myth. One of those things that might have been pitched inside the writer’s room but it never happened.

Cher sang The Golden Girls theme song for the Betty White tribute last year.

OP doesn't understand the assignment.

Oviously.

Cher is not a Florida kind of gal.

Who does she remind you of?

[quote] Cher sang The Golden Girls theme song for the Betty White tribute last year.

Great. That’s nice.

She’s still an untalented, illiterate prostitute.

The Cher bashing troll is out of control.

This moron aside:

Cher was offered the parts on The Golden Girls and The Xfiles.

She chose not to do either for whatever reason. So yes, she did know.

She also has been quite open about regretting not doing either.

Georgie, her sister,(the original Heather on GH) is her best friend along with her former assistant Polly Betts. Polly married Dicky Betts who was in The Allman Brothers band. Both women are all set with Chers' estate.

And as for untalented, her B.A. Oscar, her Golden Globe , her Emmy and her Grammy didn't just fall out of the sky.

Now you can go back to the "She hates her trans daughter" or better "She won't help her junkie son" bullshit.

What is wrong with r32?

[quote] What is wrong with [R32]?

R32= Cher.

Leave Cher alone!

[quote] I can't imagine Cher in that role. she is too larger than life to be believable as the character.

Isn’t the point of acting being able to portray a character potentially unlike yourself? That’s why it’s called “acting.”

You’re basically saying she can’t act.

She’s too fabulous to even pretend otherwise?

[quote] And as for untalented, her B.A. Oscar, her Golden Globe , her Emmy and her Grammy didn't just fall out of the sky.

If Cher has a Grammy, every billy goat on the farm deserves one, too.

Yes she does r38. The goat you heard was Stevie Nicks. Also an Grammy winner.

And she's been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. I can't remember if this was before or after her Kennedy Center honor.

[quote] And she's been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

Wasn’t this right after she said she wouldn’t accept being inducted if they gave her $1 million? Such conviction.

She’s as true to her promises as she is a devoted mother.

Yep. Sounds just like that phony, two-bit whore Cher. A true narcissist, er, woman of her word.

Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

Pope John Paul II wanted an album signed and Cher didn't even bother to respond to the letter he sent. Her maid found it in the trashcan in the bathroom-- wrapped around a used tampon.

I bet this is like the situation with Ina Garden and the Make A Wish kid; they both never knew.

All that facial work and those ridiculous lip injections just to look like Magilla Gorilla.

The show wanted her for a “gust performance”? What were they gonna ask her to do—queef a frontal-fart version of “If I Could Turn Back Time”??
