That's one proud mama!

As promised, Cher attended Dancing With The Stars Monday night to watch son Chaz Bono perform.

After Chaz did a Rocky-inspired dance, mom Cher broke down in tears as judges complimented the dance. She Tweeted later:

"OMG! I WAS CRYING ! WASNT EXPECTING 2 B SO NERVOUS ! BROKE MY BRACELET CLAPPING ! IM SO PROUD !! CHAZ WAS GREAT! LOVED DAVID ARQUETTE 2nd"

Watch above!

Justin Bieber has thousands of screaming fans, but Cher isn't one of them.

While Cher looked like a total rockstar while attending a private swag bag party over the weekend in Brentwood, she acted more like a diva while meeting the "Baby" singer.

A source told the New York Daily News that Cher was chatting with Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy recently about her run-ins with Justin and Jaden Smith.

Turns out the first time Cher ran into Justin, she asked someone nearby "if he was in show business." Ouch! But in the same conversation, she happily told McCarthy that she took "a picture with Jada's son." Even funnier? The teens are BFFs.

Sorry, Justin - bragging rights go to Jaden!

The movie Zookeeper may feature talking animals, but the voices are definitely the cream of the crop!

Rosario Dawson looked gorgeous on the green carpet in a plunging black dress at the Zookeeper premiere in Westwood. Cher, on the other hand, chose a more casual ensemble ... including a snug brown top, suede jacket and large turquoise jewelry. You can see Cher's cowboy hat in the gallery below. Eeesh!

Zookeeper, also starring Kevin James and Leslie Bibb, hits theaters tomorrow. See Kevin's King of Queens' co-star, Leah Rimini, working the crowd ... after the jump.

Cher wore a cowboy hat embellished with turquoise, long dangling earrings and a turquoise bracelet Saturday when she attended a kids' baseball game in Malibu.

No word on why the 65-year-old was checking out a Little League game, but at least she looked good doing it!

Chaz Bono, formerly Chastity Bono, opened up to Oprah Monday about his physical transition from woman to man.

Chaz, 42, is the child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono. He describes going through puberty as an adolescent and hating his body as it grew into a more womanly shape. "I felt like my body was betraying me," he said.

"It was just horrifying to me. You have this image of yourself and all of a sudden your body does the exact opposite of what you feel."

Chaz said he first decided to become a lesbian -- a label that "worked for a little while." But, Chaz said he eventually realized that being a woman who was attracted to women was not his reality.

"I always had this idea that, sure, I wished I was a boy and felt more like a boy and all of that. But I wasn't, so I would deal with it. And I for some reason thought there were other lesbians that felt that way and that was just part of that community. Then I started to realize, no, that isn't what a lesbian is at all. That's what being transgender is."

Chaz also talked about how parents react to transgender children.

"This is an incredibly difficult process for parents, the truth is that a lot of parents never speak to their transgender kids again."

So how did his very famous mother react? Read how Cher felt after the jump.

Yesterday's Oscar nomination announcements definitely left a few hopeful nominees bummed, but Cher was the only celeb who decided to vent about the snub via Twitter.

While Burlesque received three Golden Globe nods this year, the musical co-starring Christina Aguilera gained nada from the Oscars. Cher lashed out via her Twitter:

"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. The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is ,,,,the sun is still shining! Maybe she would have had a better chance if someone else was singing it ?!! IT JUST CANT B HER SONG."

She's obv not going to attend the Oscars this year.

While we're not exactly sure why Burlesque was passed up for Best Song, we're more upset Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis didn't get nods for their work in The Fighter and Black Swan. These guys definitely deserved nominations. What happened this year?

International superstar Cher is staying at luxurious London hotel Claridge's while promoting her latest flick Burlesque - congrats on the Best Picture nominee!

And yes, 64-year-old Cher may be wearing too much face paint in these pix, but as Kathy Griffin says: It's CHER. 'Nuff said!

Whoops! At least they were a fun color!

Cher had her hands (and feet) immortalized in cement at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday, and she was accompanied by her mother Georgia Holt and son Chaz Bono.

Cher stars in Burlesque with Christina Aguilera (the film hits theaters on November 24) and in her 64 years, she's won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and an Emmy. I'd say it's about time she had her hands and feet cast in cement and sprinkled with gold glitter!
