You could write an entire book about the beef between pop superstars Cher and Madonna. But where did it all begin? Well, it seems as though an appearance on British chat show “Wogan” in 1991 may have been the catalyst.
While promoting the hit film “Mermaids,” Cher was asked her thoughts about the Material Girl, and the “If I Could Turn Back Time” star certainly didn’t pull her punches, remarking (via Billboard), “She’s unbelievably creative because she’s not unbelievably talented. She’s not beautiful, but she’s kind of … she’s creative, but she’s rude.” That same year she told CBS (via E! News), “There’s something about her that I don’t like. She’s mean. I don’t like that. I remember having her over a couple of times because [Sean Penn] and I were friends, and she just was so rude to everybody. It seems to me that she’s got so much … she acts like a spoiled brat all the time.”

Cher has continued to poke fun at the Queen of Pop ever since. In 2012, she tweeted that she was celebrating Madge’s birthday by getting a colonic. And when asked which three vocalists she’d like to duet with during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the star replied, “Adele, Pink and not Madonna.”
