Cher is fucking pissed about people attacking her son Chaz Bono for being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. She wrote on Twitter: “Chaz is Being Viciously Attacked on Blogs & Message boards about being on DWTS! This is Still America right? It took guts 2 do it.” And: “Mothers don’t stop Getting angry with stupid bigots who fk with their children!” Chaz was slightly more level-headed when he responded: “Thanks for all your support mom. The haters are just motivating me to work harder and stay on DWTS as long as I possibly can.” [Radar, Us, Earlier]

Oooh. Awkward: Kris Humprhies — who just married Kim Kardashian — and Ray J — who made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian — were seated next to each other on a Delta flight Sunday from LA to New Orleans. A source claims Ray J approached Kris, saying, “Come on, you know who I am. I just want to say congratulations.” Wince. [Page Six]

Your pretty pretty girl Lindsay Lohan has gotten a new tattoo. The text reads: “Clear as crystal sharp as a knife/I feel like I’m in the prime of my life.” These are lyrics from the 1989 Billy Joel song, “I Go To Extremes.” I guess this means she is sober and looking forward to the future? I only wish she was doing it with a better font and crisper kerning. [TMZ]

Stacey Dash has finally made a statement about leaving Single Ladies: “I truly enjoyed playing Val on Single Ladies, but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the Single Ladies shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one.” Uh, sure… We heard you were fired but whatevs. Sigh. Dionne, you will be missed.

Everything reflect my inner world as well as my outer world: my aesthetics, the things that I like and also my very chaotic mind. I do so many things that there are so many rooms [in my mind], there are little compartments in my rooms, I have the photography room, and the painting room, and the room dedicated to my children…” — Patti Smith.
