Cher and Giant Hair Present Son Chaz Bono with GLAAD Award
A dazzlingly hairtastic Cher made a show-stopping appearance at the GLAAD Media Awards Saturday, rocking a giant ‘fro while presenting the Stephen F. Kolzak Award to her son, activist Chaz Bono, who was recognized for his documentary, “Becoming Chaz.”
Cher told the crowd, "I don’t have anything prepared because I'm so nervous… I actually didn't tell him I was coming tonight."
This was the most candid Cher has ever been about her Chaz becoming a man. "I think everyone knew how freaked out I was to find out he was gay, this was just one step beyond that… I'm here though because Chaz is the most courageous of anyone I know."
Bono told "Extra" that Cher "was incredibly supportive," of his gender change. "When reality started to hit her, I think she started to go through a bit of a mourning process for her daughter.”
Chaz, the first transgender person to compete on "Dancing with the Stars," was joined at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Awards by various stars, including Ellen DeGeneres, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Joshua Jackson, Jason Mraz and "Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson, who was presented with the Vanguard award following the recent loss of his uncle to AIDS.

It makes me happy to see Chaz so happy now and liking himself enough to lose all that weight and eat healthy. I don't know him, of course, but the situation kind of makes my heart sing. Seeing how courageous some people can be in truly being themselves always does that to me.
What is Cher doing with her hair? It is as radical as her daughter posing as a man. Same brain wave! Do I need to say more? I don't think so.
nice try cher...even with your huge hair we can still see the ewok is fatter than ever
Cher should be ashamed to show up looking as crazy as she did with the
horrible wig. She is an embarassement! And Chaz looks like he/she was
"trying" to look and act like a man with the little "twitches" that he made. The whole thing is pathic. Chas lost his girlfriend as he made himself look like a man. Well..she wanted to live with a Woman, not a Man. I don't think he is smart enough to understand that. What a waste of money..but the rich do all kind of "crazies" instead of "good works".
