Cher dons a neon wig: hot mess or always a classic?

fp_6258694_barm_burlesque_london_04_06

Monday night was the big London premiere of Burlesque, the film that got better reviews than The Tourist (for real). Cher decided that her promotional campaign of crotch and nipple flashing wasn’t getting the job done, so she went old school with a giant neon Ronald McDonald/Raggedy Ann wig. I… uh… it’s Cher. It’s not like you can actually say anything about it without it basically boiling down to “It’s Cher. What are you gonna do?”

But I will say that it’s not the best color for her. I will say that I prefer neon loudness on her head to some kind of “Crouching Grandma Vadge, Hidden Nipple Clamp” vibe she was working before, though. I will always choose looking at Cher’s head to anything below the neck. And before you Cher-lovers bash me, let me say: I actually like her too! I think she’s cool. But I don’t want to see her nips.

Maybe for the next promotional swing she should try a wig in blue or purple…? That might actually compliment her skin tone.

One last thing… while Cher was working her wig, this happened:

Jesus, Christina. This really, really bugs me. This is not a girl in a good place, at all, and yet we’re all supposed to pretend “Oh, it’s Christina being Christina, she’s fine.” Does this chick look like she’s in a good place? Really? Of course, when this is the comparison, maybe she’s not doing so badly.

    Painful to look at. Ouch.

  2. Rita says:

    I’m not sure what a “hot mess” is. It sounds contradictory. IMO these pics say only one thing “cold dark pathetically desperate mess in every way”.

  3. The_Porscha says:

    Christina looks like Sharon Stone at the end of Casino. Let’s just leave it at that.

  4. spooge says:

    wow… her bottom teeth are almost the same color as her hair

  5. guesty says:

    they both look ridiculous.

  6. Marjalane says:

    Not loving the orange wig, but in comparison to Xtina…..Cher looks like she has her shit together! C.A. looks like a 45 year old alcoholic. A 45 year old alcoholic with hideous taste. What I don’t understand is that these stars have “people”. They have stylists, hair, make-up- why have Xtina’s abandoned her?

  7. Gabriela says:

    Cher is Cher. Christina is the one that worries me.

  8. fancyamazon says:

    I dunno about those two up there, whatever they are, but the Willow link here is telling. I wonder what will happen to her when she grows up with no education, and then suddenly her parents aren’t there and her “advisors” have taken all her money.

    Also the other link there for the “How do you know” poster……wow, who looked at that and thought it was good and/or marketed the movie properly?

  9. fizXgirl314 says:

    Cher actually looks ok… I mean, what is she like a hundred? She definitely did her best to pickle herself. She definitely smokes though 😐

  10. khaveman says:

    They both look awful. I don’t mind the top half of Cher’s outfit. The wig? Horrible color for her. Xtina looks trampy. Enough with the Gwen Stefani bleached hair and red lips look too. It’s tired.

  11. Donna Wingfield says:

    Cher looks horrible as always. Ditto for Xtina.

  12. devilgirl says:

    awful. Both of them.

  13. Lori says:

    It’s CHER, she can wear whatever she wants now and she’s still fabulous. Xtina, on the other hand…..

  14. jen says:

    It looks like a casting call for Rupaul’s Tranny Show.

  15. Rasputina says:

    The wig’s great. Exactly the same color as my hair. The dress? Not so much. And as for Aguilera: meh.

  16. kathug says:

    Cher can do no wrong.

  17. Abby says:

    It’s funny, years ago I thought if Christina could take lessons from Cher, she’d be ok, she’d be around for a long time. Because of her voice, unlike the other poptarts with no talent of her generation.

    Now they’re in the same movie! I hope she goes to Cher for advice. That being said, neither of them look good here. Both looked fabulous in the movie though!!

  18. December says:

    Wow, with all the money Christina has, you’d think she’d be able to style herself better and afford better implants.

  19. El Predicto says:

    Leave Cher’s nipples alone!

  20. girl says:

    Do my eyes deceive me or is there an actual nipple on Cher’s outfit? She looks ridiculous. I don’t get it either. These people have stylists and they sure as hell have money but they leave the house looking like hell.

    Cher could look so much better style wise. She has a great body and apparently wonderful plastic surgeons, yet she goes for the nutty and slutty look. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

    You’d think CA would get the wake up call, looking at Cher and seeing what she might look like in umm, about 3 months.

  21. Sassy says:

    Cher is Cher, so whatevs. But that orange mop does nothing for her. It’s Christina that looks like a total mess. Did she fire her stylists?

  22. TeeTee says:

    I HATE Cher’s dress and it bothers me that a designer probably charges thousands for this garbage..

    but Cher looks good, just a bad outfit..she gotta be near 65-69 whether she admits it or not.

  23. SFRowGuy says:

    Not her color. Sorry Cher. ‘Mess’.

  24. I Choose Me says:

    “Crouching Grandma Vadge, Hidden Nipple Clamp”

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    I officially love you Kaiser. That is all. ;D

  25. craigc says:

    These 2 ladies look RIDICULOUS!!!
    ahahahaha bwahahahaha!!!

  26. Raven says:

    Cher looks the heaviest I’ve ever seen her. Look at those upper arms and that belly. And Christina looks like she has something really ugly bolted to her chest that is starting to melt. Yikes. Cher has had some really unusual looks over the years and that is just her. This is something else, however, and not a good thing. She has had some costumes in the past that were not so revealing and she needs to return to those.

  27. Jeri says:

    Totally agree with Kaiser.

  28. LolaBella says:

    I love Cher, and usually she can do no wrong…but she looks ridiculous here.

    Oh hell, is her eyeshadow the same color as her wig???? WTF.

    Christina is definitely NOT in a good place, no matter how much she waltzes around with her new boy-toy.

    The girl looks like she’s self medicating with pills, booze and food. That is not someone who is happy with herself at all.

    I see a trip to ‘rehab’ in her near future. Sad, because out of all of these wanna-be popstars on the scene now, Christina is talented and has the best VOICE.

    So sad.

  29. Bitter fruit says:

    Cher is a goddess.

    Xtina looks like a drunk lush.

  30. Hakura says:

    Ugh. What a mess. Christina can actually be pretty when she has her shit together…I think thats what makes her recent appearances so frustrating. She’s completely lost her ‘class’ lately.

    And…I know it’s Cher, but no. Just, NO. We don’t need to see all that. I’m with Kaiser.

  31. Emily says:

    I agree that Cher should try a blur or purple wig, I think cool colours would suit her a lot better.

    Christina… I used to love her… She needs to tone it down. All of it. And stop bleaching her hair so much, it looks horrible and must feel like straw.

  32. Matt says:

    Agree with all the other posters- Cher is Cher. End of.

    Christina has been looking sad, messy and bloated for weeks. Just look up her X-Factor UK appearance on YouTube. She looks terrible. Even for her!

  33. ajax says:

    Christina could be pretty if she was able to appear in public without her fake fat boobs hanging out.
    Cher is too old for that outfit. She’s putting on weight and can no longer wear skimpy stuff and look good in it. She needs to face the fact and hang it up.
