 Chaz Bono (formerly known as Chastity Bono), the child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, had “his” first interview with Entertainment Tonight, since announcing “his” decision to undergo a sex change and genital reassignment.

(Pause for reaction minus the judgement)

After coming out to his mom, Cher, who according to Bono “flipped out,” he’s been through quite an ordeal with remaining clean and sober. Since his success in rehab, Chaz underwent a decade long process to become something he claims he’s always been, a man.

“I always felt like the male from the time I was a child,” he says. “There wasn’t much feminine about me. I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early ’90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it.”

We wish Chaz all the happiness in the world…

 Fashion enthusiasts mourn today.

Not only has Versace announced the closing of all their Japan stores, but now in a feeble attempt to increase profits and keep investors happy, Versace will be eliminating 350 positions worldwide.

(Pause for reaction, fashionistas)

According to the CEO, Gian Giacono Ferraris, “Trading conditions in the wake of the global financial crisis have been severe and the company expects to make a loss in 2009. No organization can allow a situation like this to continue, especially considering the flat outlook for 2010.”

Just a thought; perhaps Versace should be available in Walmart. I bet profits will increase then.

 First, KhloMar inks their initials on each other’s hands. Then Lady Gaga pay tribute to her father with am “I Heart Dad” tattoo, and now Jessica Simpson goes henna.

It’s reported our favorite pop tart got inked in South Asia while filming her new reality show, “The Price of Beauty”…Funny, this headline should have read “Tis The Season For Obscure Reality Shows.”

The reunited punk band Sublime is facing a lawsuit by their late frontman’s family if they perform at this weekends Smokeout Festival in California. 

The surviving  members of the band Sublime had announced their plans to stage a comeback at the Smokeout Festival, which would be their first show together after the death of their frontman Bradley Nowell in 1996.

But the day before their show, Nowell’s family threatened Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson and their replacement singer Rome Ramirez with a lawsuit if the band takes the stage under the name Sublime.

A statement from the family reads, “Prior to his untimely passing, both Bud and Eric acknowledged that Brad Nowell was the sole owner of the name Sublime. It was Brad’s expressed intention that no one use the name Sublime in any group that did not include him, and Brad even registered the trademark Sublime under his own name.  “As Brad’s heirs, and with the support of his entire family, we only want to respect his wishes and therefore have not consented to Bud and Eric calling their new project Sublime… Out of respect for Brad’s wishes, we have always refused to endorse any group performing as Sublime, and now with great reluctance feel compelled to take the appropriate legal action to protect Brad’s legacy. Our hope is that Brad’s ex-bandmates will respect his wishes and find a new name to perform under.”

But so far Sublime remains on the Smokeout bill along with bands Slipknot, Deftones, Cypress Hill, Geto Boys, Goodie Mob, Pennywise, Redman & Method Man and Bad Brains.

Sublime surviving members Gaugh and Wilson issued a statement in response to the estate Friday afternoon, stating that there have already been unsuccessful legal attempts made to stop the band from performing.

It reads, “While we all mourn the passing of our brother and bandmate Bradley Nowell some thirteen years ago, Sublime still has a strong message of hope and love to share — a  message that is especially important in these difficult times … Brad’s heirs apparently do not share this vision and do not want the band Sublime to continue and tried — unsuccessfully — to file a temporary restraining order to prevent the band from carrying on. Despite those objections, we are pleased that the United States District Court has allowed us to perform as Sublime for all of our fans.
