An award-winning journalist, she's written for Turner Classic Movies,, and more. She's worked at EW for six years covering film, TV, theater, music, and books.
Cher says her 2 divorces were easier than getting into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in rousing induction speech Cher eventually secured the same divorce lawyer that Ball had used, Mickey Rudin.
