I Found Someone...Who Said Cher Is Not Dead

So, it looks like we are in the midst of another celebrity death hoax running rampant in cyberspace.  What is even more disturbing is that Kim Kardashian was out there perpetuating this rumor with her tweets.  Yikes!  Kim--wake-up, honey.  You are Armenian!  Cher is Armenian!  You should support your brethren (or shall I say sisters?).

I still don't quite understand the popularity of the death hoax, but nevertheless, I thought it would be the perfect time to pay homage to Cher.  Her career has spanned several decades, and let's face it, she's an Oscar award-winning actress.  I really enjoyed her movies.  Her music in the '80s was fun.  Nothing wrong with that.  Everyone seems to remember the video from "If I Could Turn Back Time" because she wore that scandalous seatbelt-type getup and sang on a Navy battleship.  When I read about the hoax, I heard the song "I Found Someone" playing in my mind.  I guess I hadn't watched the video since it came out in 1987.  I don't think it got as much airplay as "If I Could Turn Back Time" (well, I guess the reason for that is obvious).  Anyway, check out the "I Found Someone Video."  Cher's then real-life boyfriend is in there.  The plot is straightforward.  They go to a club, some girl gives Cher's man a look, he's tempted, and I guess he goes with her.  Then, later in the video, we see Cher with a new guy, but the funny thing is that at first,  I couldn't tell the difference between the two guys because of their hair.  Meanwhile, Cher is gettin' down with this new guy on the dance floor--really rubbing the first guy's face in it while he dances with the other girl.  But, in the end, she takes her cheating guy back.  Hmm.  I guess that's alright--I mean, they have to end the video somehow.  That's kind of nice, but he could have at least brought her flowers.
