In her memoir, ‘Cher: The Memoir (Part One),’ which was released recently, Cher made a shocking revelation wherein she revealed that her ex-husband Sonny Bono contemplated killing her once. For the unversed, the singer shared a difficult and tumultuous marriage with the late singer and politician. She vividly recalled one of the disturbing incidents wherein Bono had confessed to her that he felt like killing her.

In her memoir, Cher admitted that she felt so unhappy in her marriage with Sonny Bono that she also contemplated committing suicide by jumping off the balcony of her Las Vegas hotel room. The ‘Believe’ singer mentioned in her memoir how she told Sonny she wanted to sleep with Bill, a guitarist in their band. She did not mean any of it; it was just a ploy to get separated from Bono.

Toby Keith follows up the poignant ballad “Don’t Let the Old Man In” with a raucous blast of country-music pride. “That’s Country Bro” is a classic list song, but instead of the usual run-through of rural imagery (trucks, bonfires and coolers), Keith ticks off a Hall of Fame-worthy roster of country singers.

Jimmie Rodgers, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, Johnny Horton, Bill Monroe, Woody Guthrie and Bob Wills all get shout-outs in the first 18 seconds, followed by Kitty Wells, Jimmy Dean, Hank Snow and even Spade Cooley.

It's pretty amazing how many ways studios have devised to market and re-market The Three Stooges. The latest attempt is Sony's made-to-order 3 DVD set titled Rare Treasures from the Columbia Vault. It's a bit misleading in that the bulk of the material pertains to individual short films starring Stooge cast members, but for this reviewer, that's also what makes the set so special. There are eleven hours of material in the set including two feature films and 28 shorts.

Tom Cruise's pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes has pulled out of her new film Shame On You, because she fears the stress of filming will harm her unborn child. The 26-year-old Batman Begins actress was contracted to star as Spade Cooley's wife in Dennis Quaid's movie biopic of the late swing legend. The news will cause further delay to filming in New Orleans - which has already been postponed because of the chaos caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Hollywood couple, who have yet to set a date for their forthcoming wedding, announced they were expecting their first child together two weeks ago.

Dennis Quaid is set to star in, write and direct a biopic about the controversial 1940s Western swing star Spade Cooley titled Shame on You. Katie Holmes is in talks to play Cooley's wife, whom he killed in front of their teenage daughter in 1961. Cooley spent the '60s in prison for his crime and was released in 1969 to perform a benefit concert, where he died from a heart attack backstage. Holly Wiersma, one of the producers of the upcoming Happy Endings, is set to produce the feature and is finalizing financing.
