Metro Police officers charged Calvin Houghland with disorderly conduct and public intoxication after he repeatedly harassed Cher who was visiting a club in downtown Nashville early Wednesday morning.

Police said Houghland, 36, tried to make contact with Cher, who was sitting in a roped off area in Tootsie's on Broadway around 12:50 a.m. Houghland left when security asked him to leave, but then he came back a little while later. He managed to reach past the roped off area and grabbed Cher by the waist. Read the story at Out & About here http://www.outandaboutnewspaper.com/article.php?id=2717 .

You gotta love the news media. The way they phrased the headline, I was half expecting to read about a hate crime. Some drunk guy groped a famous female singer. Doesn't this happen rather often, particularly when it's an attractive star?

Really interesting. I find the rhetoric more informative than the actual article.

You gotta love Cher. Out partying at the age of 312, how does she still manager it?

The best part is he only drank 3 beers lol

I'd kinda like it better if she knocked him out... I don't know why. lol.

"Cher fends off harasser by punching him dead in the face"

YEA! That's my girl!!!

ROTFL... I agree, it would have been nice to watch her slug the guy in someone's camera phone video. ;-)

What I want to know is: "what she ever done to be a gay Icon?" She hates the fact her daughter is a dyke. Should she not have hordes of gap people hissing at her?

I love you, Cher.

She is very easy for drag queens to mimic sense she looks like one herself

She doesn't hate the fact that her daughter is a dyke, where did you ever come up with that? She was pissed that she was the last to know about her daughter, but that's about it. She has a really close relationship with her.

i actually had a dream that Cher had adopted me and proudly dispayed me as her "gay son"
