So listen, Cher is absolutely heating up the legal landscape right now, and honey, this is juicy. The legendary icon just filed a motion demanding over one million dollars in legal fees from Mary Bono, Sonny's widow, after a federal judge ruled in Cher's favor last November in their absolutely scorching copyright battle. According to NBC Palm Springs and Rolling Stone, the 79-year-old "Believe" superstar is asking the court to make Mary foot the bill because she allegedly tried to "misuse" the Copyright Act to illegally snatch away Cher's fifty percent royalty share from their divorce settlement. Cher's legal team is basically saying Mary dragged this case out for five years taking what they call "patently unreasonable positions," and the court documents show Cher racked up a whopping one million, twenty-three thousand dollar bill just to defend what was already hers. The judge completely sided with Cher, ruling that California contract law—you know, their 1978 divorce agreement—trumps federal copyright termination rights. This means Cher keeps her rights to iconic hits like "I Got You Babe" and continues collecting those composition and record royalties directly. A hearing on the fee request is scheduled for February twenty-third, so stay tuned because this legal drama isn't over yet.
On the touring front, Cher's "Here We Go Again" tour is in full swing, supporting her ABBA-tribute album "Dancing Queen," with dates already scheduled through Texas and beyond into fall twenty-twenty-six. She's also got the memoir momentum going strong with "Cher: The Memoir, Part One" dropping soon.
And because we can't ignore the personal realm, the iconic diva is happily coupled up with her much-younger boyfriend Alexander Edwards, shutting down all the age-gap chatter by declaring they're having "a blast" together.
