Cher‘s autobiography, The Memoir: Part One, has been #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks, so people are obviously excited for Part Two, which is due in November. Only trouble is, Cher hasn’t begun writing it yet.
When Cher appeared ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Jan. 7, she told the host she “hadn’t even started” Part Two, adding, “I was late [with Part One]. I finished it when they had to publish it.” When Kimmel then asked if it was still due out in November, Cher insisted, “Yes, it is.” “We’ll see,” replied a skeptical Kimmel. “November of what year?”
After giving him a look, Cher said, “I’m a little tardy, but I think I’ll be better this time.”
Kimmel also asked Cher about her friendship with the late President Jimmy Carter, who she met through her late ex-husband Gregg Allman. Cher explained that his band the Allman Brothers raised money for Carter’s initial campaign. Asked if she spent “personal time” with Carter, Cher revealed, “I ate dinner with him his first night in the White House.”
Kimmel peppered Cher with a series of rapid-fire questions, which she gamely answered. She revealed that her drivers license simply says “Cher” and she had to go to court to be able to do that; she’s been to Costco once; she was rejected from jury duty on the grounds that she’d been too “distracting”; she last played a video game a month ago; and if she could “turn back time,” she’d go back to when she was 60. “When you’re 78, 60 sounds great,” she joked.
As the interview ended, Cher told Kimmel, “You’re a lot nicer and funnier than I thought you would be.”
