Her wedding was held amidst turbulent time in Bangkok, at the height of the protest in the city. The reception was held a day after the burning of Central Shopping Mall in Bangkok by protesters. The hotel where the function was held was very near to the main site of the protest. The couple decided to go ahead with the function as it had already been planned months ahead. Due to safety and traffic concerns , a number of her more than 3000 guests failed to turn up for the reception. Despite this the wedding went on well and it was covered by a television station. She now lives with her husband and his extended family in a five storey house in Bangkok.

Cher, A Lazy Buddhist

Cher is a 'lazy-a*sed' Buddhist.

The singer-and-actress is a follower of the spiritual faith but admits she only meditates or prays when she wants to, rather than when she should.

She said: 'I am the worst Buddhist ever. I love reading it and saying the prayers, but I'm such a lazy-a*sed Buddhist.

'I meditate but only when I want to. I'm so stubborn. I don't like to be forced to do anything. If you try and force me, it's the wrong thing to do.'

The 64-year-old 'Burlesque' star also admitted she found being in her forties the best time of her life.

She added to Attitude magazine: 'I would like to be in my 40s again, because I had so much fun.

'I was just having a really good time. I did three movies in a row. I did an album, my kids were still at home and I had a fabulous boyfriend, so how bad can that be?'
