Cher to Perform on Dancing With the Stars?

Will Cher perform on Dancing With the Stars this season? That’s unclear, but she’s made it clear she will be there at least once to support son Chaz Bono. Sources connected with Cher and Chaz say the criticism over a transgender contestant has given the star even more resolve to stand behind her child. Cher is not saying which day she’ll show, or if she will sing on one of the results show, but has made it clear she will be in the audience “at least once.” Insiders say Cher’s motive is not to drive votes for her son but simply to show support and make a statement against what she considers to be bigotry. Last week, the proud mom took to Twitter to hit back at those who say Chaz – her only child with Sonny Bono – coming on the show is somehow wrong. While there have been some harsh critics, Bono has the vocal support of partner Lacey Schwimmer, as well as co-stars Elisabetta Canalis and Kristin Cavallari . Nice to see Cher showing support in person – would you expect otherwise? Chaz on DWTS: What’s your take? [Photos: Fame Pictures]

Russell Armstrong Coroner Report: No Drugs in System

With an autopsy already having confirmed that Russell Armstrong died by hanging, Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter added to that report today by providing the results of toxicology tests run on the late reality star. And he confirms that no drugs or alcohol were in Russell’s system at the time of his death. The body of Taylor Armstrong’s husband, from whom she had filed for divorce in July, was discovered hanging from an apartment ceiling on August 15. Despite no evidence to back up their claim, family members now apparently believe Russell was murdered (in relation to his ongoing financial struggles) and are considering the hiring of a private investigator.

Rachel Uchitel Lawyers Up, N.Y. Post Stands By 9/11 Quotes

Rachel Uchitel is preparing to file suit against the New York Post for quotes about her dead fiance she says she didn’t make that ran in Page Six Magazine . The paper is standing by its story, however. Uchitel hired Daniel Horowitz and Marty Garbus (known for repping Oksana Grigorieva) to sue the Post for insinuating she’s glad her fiance died during 9/11. An article in the Post’s Page Six Magazine includes alleged statements from Rachel such as “I believe Andy was meant to die because he was too good.” “I’m glad I didn’t get to see any flaws that time brings on everyone. I would [have become] a fat housewife with three kids in Sands Port, Long Island.” In a letter to the Post , Horowitz claims the story conveys “a disastrously false impression” of Rachel and is “degrading and extraordinarily inaccurate.” Rachel Uchitel says it’s a hit piece and the reporter went in not liking her. Horowitz also has words for the author of the piece:”You created a work of miserable and demeaning fiction.

Oksana Grigorieva to Sue Mel Gibson For All Kinds of Stuff; Probably Vice Versa

Despite Mel Gibson’s no contest plea to battery last week, Oksana Grigorieva plans to file a lawsuit alleging battery, emotional distress and defamation. Sources close to Gibson say he will wage legal war if Oksana does so. Forget settling out of court … it is ON like legal Donkey Kong this time around. The actor will “gladly” file his own lawsuit against the woman he says put a $15 million price on the Mel Gibson tapes in return for keeping quiet. It could be just beginning for Mel and Oksana … Oksana’s lawyer, Daniel Horowitz, said “our position hasn’t changed” regarding Mel’s no contest plea and her plans to sue for myriad damages. This looming lawsuit likely played a huge role in Mel’s no contest plea on misdemeanor battery charges, for which he will serve no jail time. Pleading no contest subjected him to similar sentencing as a plea of guilty, but there was no admission of guilt that will bolster her claims. Basically, he denied her account before, he’s likely to keep denying it now, and Daniel Horowitz and Blair Berk are going to bill a lot of hours. [Photo: Fame Pictures]

Mel Gibson: Oksana Grigorieva Injured Herself!

Mel Gibson’s latest defense against allegations that he battered his now-ex, Oksana Grigorieva? That the crazy chick actually did that to herself. Seriously. Oksana claims Mel scratched and bruised her January 6, which he denies, admitting only that he slapped her once, not hard, to protect their daughter. As for how she appeared injured in photos taken after the fact? SOMETHING’S FISHY : Mel says it’s Oksana’s story . Mady Shany, Oksana’s facialist, says in a declaration to the court that on January 12, Grigorieva came in for a facial, and she noted, “I noticed there were scratches and bruises around her eyes and on her forehead.” Shany says Oksana told her Mel “punched her and threw her on the bed while she had the baby in her arms.” But was she lying about the abuse ? In Mel’s declaration, he says Oksana is unstable and ” suffers from Trichotillomania , an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull, and pulling, out ones own hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and other body hair.” Mel wasn’t done there either, adding that “During our relationship Oksana often had scratches and bald spots on the side of her head as a result of this disorder (ones she is now, apparently, attempting to blame on me!).” Oksana’s lawyer, Daniel Horowitz, says in response to Gibson’s declaration, “I’ve spent over 100 hours with Oksana and I have never seen her pick her hair or scratch her skin. She just acts like a totally normal person.” Gibson’s camp says his former lover is plotting to extort him, a defense they believe is corroborated by Oksana Grigorieva emails we posted earlier. Thoughts? Who do you believe?
