Janet Jackson isn't the only diva cancelling shows due to health problems.

Cher is apparently suffering from asthma-related bronchitis.

That doesn't sound pleasant at all!

According to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the 62 year-old had to cancel her shows on Saturday and Sunday, which were her last performances there for the year, due to her bronchitis.

Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, claims Cher is actually suffering from "Vegas Throat."

That's apparently a condition that's caused by the dry dessert air.

However, reports state that Caesars spent millions of dollars installing a special humidifier in The Colosseum showroom, which was specially built for Celine Dion's show to protect her throat.

As for Rosenberg, she is also denying the rumors that Cher has chronic abdominal problems.

Caesars issued a statement saying that "Cher looks forward to her return to The Colosseum early next year with performances to be announced soon."

Get well soon, diva!

Looks like Lily Allen needs to spend some time in rehab. Soon.

The often drunk singer was spotted this past weekend hanging out in London with T4 presenter and "friend" Miquita Oliver.

The two started the evening off at the Ivy Restaurant.

From there, they went over to the nightclub St. Moritz.

Later that night, Allen actually played a DJ set at the club.

It must have sucked.

And when the two left the club, they were looking shiteous.

Seriously shiteously.

Wonder what Lily was up to all night at the club that left her looking all haggard?

Make-Believe Maverick
A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty

At Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reckless youth into a serious man of patriotism and purpose. Walking along the grounds at Fort McNair, McCain runs into John Dramesi, an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam.

McCain is studying at the National War College, a prestigious graduate program he had to pull strings with the Secretary of the Navy to get into. Dramesi is enrolled, on his own merit, at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in the building next door.

There's a distance between the two men that belies their shared experience in North Vietnam — call it an honor gap. Like many American POWs, McCain broke down under torture and offered a "confession" to his North Vietnamese captors. Dramesi, in contrast, attempted two daring escapes. For the second he was brutalized for a month with daily torture sessions that nearly killed him. His partner in the escape, Lt. Col. Ed Atterberry, didn't survive the mistreatment. But Dramesi never said a disloyal word, and for his heroism was awarded two Air Force Crosses, one of the service's highest distinctions. McCain would later hail him as "one of the toughest guys I've ever met."

On the grounds between the two brick colleges, the chitchat between the scion of four-star admirals and the son of a prizefighter turns to their academic travels; both colleges sponsor a trip abroad for young officers to network with military and political leaders in a distant corner of the globe.

"I'm going to the Middle East," Dramesi says. "Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran."

"Why are you going to the Middle East?" McCain asks, dismissively.

"It's a place we're probably going to have some problems," Dramesi says.

"Why? Where are you going to, John?"

"Oh, I'm going to Rio."

"What the hell are you going to Rio for?"

McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.

"I got a better chance of getting laid."

Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised. "McCain says his life changed while he was in Vietnam, and he is now a different man," Dramesi says today. "But he's still the undisciplined, spoiled brat that he was when he went in."

McCAIN FIRST

This is the story of the real John McCain, the one who has been hiding in plain sight. It is the story of a man who has consistently put his own advancement above all else, a man willing to say and do anything to achieve his ultimate ambition: to become commander in chief, ascending to the one position that would finally enable him to outrank his four-star father and grandfather.

In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches.

In one vital respect, however, the comparison is deeply unfair to the current president: George W. Bush was a much better pilot.

Are they using the same producers as Girls Aloud????

Everything we're hearing from The Saturdays is gold!!!!

Our favorite new girl group, these Brits deliver the good.

Why Me, Why Now is another new song from The Saturdays' debut album.

And it's like a fine chocolate mousse, so smooth and creamy.

Enjoy!

Saturday Night Live did a skit on Katy Perry this past weekend, which is way cool.

Unfortunately, it was kinda lame.

What do U think???

Looks like the competition on the set of the 7th season of Dancing With the Stars just got a little bit….easier.

Contestant Brooke Burke spoke with Valentine in the Morning on 104.3 MYfm in LA today and she revealed that Misty May-Treanor will be leaving the show due to an Achilles tendon injury.

Sucks for her!

Better safe than sorry, though, as it was a torn PCL injury that nearly kept the volleyball player out of the game altogether back in 2000.

This isn't the Olympics here!

As for DWTS romance, Burke reports that her parnter, Derek Hough, is still going strong with the fabulous Flister Shannon Elizabeth.

No injuries there!

We're sure it was her PR flacks who helped her see the light!!!

Aubrey O'Day was less tragically delicious at the Body of Lies premiere on Sunday in the NYC.

She didn't even have her little, fur-dyed doggie in tow.

The premiere was also a benefit for the Natural Resources Defense Council. One of the flick's stars, Leo DiCaprio, is a Council trustee.

O'Day's people must have known that parading a doggie as an accessory wouldn't go over well with Leo's NRDC guests.

Having said that, though, could her top be cut any lower???

The answer is YES.

We're disappointed!

Victoria Beckham is just like us.

Sort of.

Posh wasn't too 'good' for the low key Westside Pavillion mall in West Los Angeles on Saturday.

Vicky B. was accompanied by the entire Beckham brood.

The Becks crew hit the mall for a 'little' toy shopping.

Posh worked the mall like a runway in her tiny dress and platform shoes. Oh, yeah, she was accompanied by a huge security detail.

Don't you do that too?

"I will never forget the time I went to Amy's house and she sang and played guitar for me, my mother and sisters. She is our era's Billie Holiday. I listen to a lot of music from the 30s and 40s, but Amy Winehouse is the most important and interesting vocalist of the modern era. Unfortunately, it seems that she is also following in the same footsteps as Billie - with genuine angst, drama and drug addiction."

Paternity tests and lesbians are just another part of Living Lohan.

Which is to say that the Lohans are a little honesty-challenged.

Remember when we told you how a rep for Dina and Ali said that the Lohan Ladies were meeting with famed music manager Johnny Wright?

Well, Wright's company - which manages such acts as Justin Timberlake, Jonas Brothers, Janet Jackson and Ciara - issued a response to the "reports" that basically bitchslapped the Lohans - hard.

Says a rep for the manager:

"Johnny Wright has never met with Ali Lohan, has never been introduced to Ali Lohan, nor has he had a meeting with Ali or Dina Lohan regarding Ali's music career. While he wishes Ali Lohan the best in all her endeavors, Mr. Wright has never had any intention of speaking with Ali Lohan regarding her career. Any story that has surfaced about such a meeting holds no merit and is completely false."

In other words, "Only in your wildest dreams!"

Owned!
A rep for the momager and mini-40-year-old has - wisely - not commented.
