Cher has a new autobiography, “The Memoir,” which runs just over 400 pages, but apparently, that’s only half the story.

This isn’t the first time that he’s been wrong on both the facts and the law, but, even as personal observations go, this one is particularly absurd. Here, for the umpteenth time, are […]
