Let’s dive into a classic Hollywood rivalry: Cher and Barbra Streisand. These two iconic divas have been circling each other for decades, and now the drama has spilled into the world of memoirs. With Cher set to release her own highly anticipated two-part memoir, the stage is set for a literary showdown. But let’s be honest—these ladies have been throwing shade at each other since the '60s, so this isn’t exactly new territory.
A Long-Standing Feud
According to a source close to the situation, the tension between Cher and Barbra Streisand runs deep. “These two have butted heads since the 1960s,” the insider exclusively told Closer. “Even though they might act a little more polite toward each other these days, there’s still plenty of bad blood. Trust me, putting them in the same room would be a disaster waiting to happen.”
Cher's Memoir: A Two-Part Saga
Now, at 78 years old, Cher is ready to share her incredible life story in two parts. The first installment, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, is set to hit shelves this fall. Publishers describe it as a deep dive into Cher’s early life, from her chaotic childhood to her rise to fame with Sonny Bono. It promises to reveal the complicated relationship that not only made them famous but also tore them apart.

The second part of Cher’s memoir will follow in 2025. Fans are already buzzing about what secrets she might spill, and it’s clear she’s ready to give the world a raw and unfiltered look at her life.
Barbra Strikes First
Barbra Streisand, now 82, didn’t wait around for Cher. She released her own memoir, My Name Is Barbra, last November. The book clocks in at over 900 pages, with an audiobook version that stretches over 48 hours. But despite all that effort, it didn’t exactly set the world on fire. Sales were reportedly lackluster compared to other celebrity memoirs, like Prince Harry’s Spare or Britney Spears’ The Woman in Me.
When Barbra’s memoir didn’t perform as expected, Cher reportedly couldn’t help but gloat. “She was openly celebrating the fact that Barbra’s book didn’t do well, and of course, word got back to Barbra,” the source explained. Now, the rivalry is heating up again, with Cher aiming to make her memoir a megahit.
Insiders say there’s a lot of chatter in Malibu social circles about Cher’s memoir. “She’s fully aware that Barbra wasn’t happy about her book’s performance, and now she’s determined to make her own a huge success,” the source revealed. Meanwhile, Barbra is reportedly taking a more relaxed approach, hoping Cher’s memoir doesn’t take off.
What to Expect from Cher's Memoir
Fans are eager to see what Cher has in store for her two-part memoir. From the sound of it, it’s going to be a wild ride. Cher has reportedly gone back and added some details she was initially too hesitant to include. Some of her exes and even her adult children aren’t thrilled about what she’s planning to reveal.
In the book, Cher will tackle her complicated relationship with her first husband, Sonny Bono, including his controlling nature. She’ll also explore her tumultuous childhood and her difficult relationship with her mother. On top of that, she’ll delve into her feelings about her children, including Chaz Bono’s transition and her strained relationship with Elijah Blue Allman, her son with the late Greg Allman.

“She knows there’s going to be backlash, but Cher decided if she was going to write a memoir, she might as well be honest about it,” an insider said. “This is her story, and she’s not holding back. It’s going to be raw, real, and probably pretty controversial.”
