The latest buzz is about Chastity Bono, the daughter of famed Cher and Sonny Bono. This darling little blonde girl used to appear on the “Sonny and Cher Show” on television looking like an angel. When Chastity grew up, she revealed she was a lesbian to the surprise of viewers around the globe. Now Chastity has decided to make the formal switch to become a man named “Chaz”.

So what does mama Cher have to say about it all? Cher states about her new son Chaz, “Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny, and although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding … The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child.”

Speaking about a mother’s love for her child, Kate Gosselin of “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” was on her own with the brood while daddy was off…somewhere? During her time in charge, the paps caught Kate spanking one of the kids. Kate retorted about the matter, “Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first … I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation.”
