If They Could Turn Back Time: Cher and Chastity to Host Coming Out Reality Show

It's what ever mother dreams of from the moment the sonogram technician points to that blurry little vajayjay on the monitor: the chance to host a mother-daughter reality show. I mean, come on-- who among us hasn't imagined transforming our own homespun drama and tears into 30 minutes of entertainment for the masses?

Well, until you figure out a way to turn you and your 3 year-old's heart-wrenching struggle with getting her buckled into a car seat while she's wearing her Belle dress and her winter coat into something we all want to watch, the networks will be duking it out over who gets to air "Coming Out With Cher and Chas."

The premise for the show is that these two experts on healthy and loving responses to a child's pronouncement of sexual identity (Cher infamously threw things at Chastity when she told her she was a lesbian, then insisted she get psychological help to "cure" her of the problem) will, before a live studio audience, act as "Celebrity Counselors" for people who want to come out to their families.

So then this is my question: just how many gay boys who have been out since the 7th grade are going to testify to a life in the closet just for the chance to bury a weepy face in Cher's silky black tresses? I hate to admit it, but I'm going to be tuning in to find out.
