Ellen channels Cher ... we're thinking Photoshopped

Cher and her mother and sister appeared as guests yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for a discussion that covered the coming out and weight loss of her son Chaz Bono.

The ‘Turn Back Time’ singer told host Ellen Degeneres that Chaz is “working really hard” to reach his weight loss goal.

When the subject of his coming out was broached, the veteran entertainer admitted that Bono told his grandmother Georgia Holt before he enlightened his mother.

She joked, “I was the last to know.  It’s true, go figure.  That’s a big deal to come out to the grandmother!”

Ellen posted a teaser photo on Instagram showing her rocking an iconic Bob Mackie black leather and lace see-through costume that was made famous by Cher back in the day.  Photoshopped? Absolutely!

DeGeneres captioned the photo: “I had to change my outfit before the show.  Cher and I were wearing the same thing.”

Holt, 86, and Cher’s half-sister Georganne LaPiere, 61, chatted it up with Ellen about family matters.  Their show host shared this Instagram image featuring the mother-daughter trio in their western garb:

Yee Haw ... it's Cher and her family

Chaz Bono weight loss

Chaz Bono has dropped 60 pounds and he is thrilled! The former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant has changed the way he eats and it has paid off.

Bono told PEOPLE magazine that he is “still slowly losing weight.”  Chaz explained, “I’ve just changed the way I eat. Diets don’t work. You just have to change what you eat, and I have.”

The 44-year-old son of Cher and the late Sunny Bono has gone through a big transformation over the last several years.  The former Chastity Bono underwent a female to male gender transition that was documented in the 2011 television film ‘Becoming Chaz.’

Chaz appeared on ‘The Doctors’ in November to discuss his weight loss struggles that began in his 20′s.  At 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighting 250 pounds, the show experts suggested that he lose 50-80 pounds.

He recently tweeted, “What’s worked for me is, no sugar, no grains, no dairy except goat cheese, no white starches, portion control, and high intensity workouts.”

A tabloid website recently suggested that he and his mother are feuding.  In response he posted this photo with Cher and tweeted,  “I just found out, online, that my mom and I aren’t speaking. Can you tell me when Radar Online became a credible, quotable news source.”
