Chaz Bono
In his first interview since announcing he would undergo a sex change, Chaz Bono says he's enjoying the life he fought for years to attain.
Chastity Bono undergoing gender change
"It's a long process going back almost a decade," Bono told Entertainment Tonight. "I got clean and sober in 2004 and I couldn't have done this before that."
The 40-year-old Bono — who was born Chastity, the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono — said the most difficult part of the journey was "finding the courage not to worry about what other people would think of me so much."
Bono said he has mentally and emotionally felt he was a man since he was a child. "There wasn't much feminine about me," he said. "I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early '90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it."

Chastity Bono
Chaz (né Chastity) Bono, the 40-year-old daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, is undergoing a gender change — a transition that began shortly after his birthday earlier this year, his publicist said on Thursday.
"Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," Bono's publicist, Howard Bragman, said in a statement. "He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones."
"It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his coming out did. We ask that the media respect Chaz's privacy during this long process."
Now a civil rights advocate, journalist and author, Bono came out to his parents at age ...

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie presenting at the 2003 Billboard Music Awards
In what comes as a shock to many industry insiders, the Supreme Court has decided to hear the FCC's 2006 indecency suit against Fox, in what will be the Court's first such case in 30 years, Variety says.The FCC's gripe stems from a citation it made for "fleeting expletives" uttered by Nicole Richie and Cher in separate Billboard Music Awards shows in 2002 and 2003. Fox shot back at the FCC, calling its actions "arbitrary and capricious." Fox also asserted that the "FCC's expanded enforcement of the indecency law is unconstitutional in today's diverse media marketplace where parents have access to a variety of tools to monitor their children's television viewing."Given that the last ruling the Supreme Court made on so-called "indecency" cases was in 1978 — and technology, media (and perhaps even culture) have changed — do you think it's time for a dusting-off of policy? Or is it a good thing that this issue is being brought to the Supreme table? — Anna DimondUse our On...
