When Cher’s marriage to Sonny Bono soured, she turned to another icon for help. In her new book, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One,” Cher writes that she reached out to Lucille Ball, who had had similar problems in her marriage to her 'I Love Lucy' co-star Desi Arnaz. “I called Lucille Ball to ask for her advice,” she writes. “I told her, ‘Lucy, I want to leave Sonny and you’re the only one I know that’s ever been in this same situation.
“Lucille was clearly bored too, because as the votes started coming in she began making wisecracks about the ‘windbags’ giving commentary on what each update meant,” Cher writes in her book, which was released Nov. 19. The “Moonstruck” star writes that Ball’s antics that night reverberated throughout the party. “She was being so funny and irreverent. If you knew Lucy, she was a balls-to-the-wall kick-ass chick, not taking anything from anybody,” she writes.
