It’s Cher’s Birthday! See Her Transformation

May 20, 2012 @ 3:00 pm

When it comes to Cher, the regular rules don’t apply. Born Cherilyn Sarkisian, she was a bride by 18, a number one pop star by 19 and a TV star by 25. It was during her stint on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, that she developed her signature style with the aid of designer Bob Mackie and an ocean of faux locks. Today is her 66th birthday—here’s to a happy one!—click through the gallery to see her beauty evolution.

The Golden Globe nominees for Best Original Song aren’t usually on our short list of favorites the way the nominees for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress are, but things are different this year! All five nominees are Hollywood (and/or Nashville) heavyweights like Gwyneth Paltrow, Christina Aguilera and Cher. And while the tunes usually aren’t performed at the Golden Globes, we’re hoping the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can find time for them in the show this year. Check out the complete list of Best Song nominees in the gallery.

I’ll always cherish that.” Find out what Cher had to say, plus watch a preview of Christina’s favorite performance after the jump!
