Who but Cher — savior of elephants, locker of CAPS, first and last of her name — would celebrate her birthday by giving the world a gift such as this.

Picture me: I’m on the seat of my pants in a death grip, trying to picture Cher taking a shower. Can you imagine Cher’s shower?! Does it spray Swarovski crystals that magically liquefy the moment it touches her skin?! Finally, Cher let us in on her big news.

A STAR IS BORN
SUSPECT
TO NAME A FEW OF IS FILMS— Cher (@cher) May 19, 2021
In case your Cher Tweets decoder ring hasn’t arrived yet, People has the details in plain English for the Cher impaired.
The untitled project will be written by “DEAR DEAR Friend” Eric Roth, who worked with Cher on the 1987 film Suspect and won an Academy Award in 1994 for his work on Forrest Gump, the singer tweeted on Wednesday.
Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman will act as producers alongside Cher herself, according to a press release.
The pair previously got to know Cher when they worked with the star on the 2018 Mamma Mia! sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Got Again.
“Gary and I are thrilled to be working with Cher again and this time bringing her empowering and true-life odyssey to the big screen,” Craymer said in a statement. “One cannot help but be drawn to and inspired by Cher’s larger than life talent, fortitude, unique wit, warmth, and vision. Her unparalleled success in music film and tv has inspired generations.”
Added Craymer, “We could not be happier to tell her story to cinema audiences.”
Deadline reminds us of Cher’s career highlights from her Sonny Bono days through a solo career that produced a string of hits and spanned several decades. She made a few movies along the way too.
By the 1980s Cher redefined herself again as a dramatic actress, starring in films including Silkwood, Mask and The Witches of Eastwick, culminating in a Best Actress Oscar win for Moonstruck in 1987. She has followed that with more hits, including “I Found Someone,” “If I Could Turn Back Time” and “Believe.” She has sold more than 100 million records in her career, and been a longtime advocate for LGBTQ rights and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, among other causes.
This of course raises the question, who could they possibly cast to play her? I’m convinced that Cher’s shower not only sprays magic crystals but is also a time portal. Her speculating on what she’d do if she could turn back time was a ruse, all smoke, and mirrors. She knows exactly what she’d do because she’s already done it. Therefore, Cher will be playing Cher at all ages. And sorry Madonna, the portal only works for Cher and Cher alone.
