Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, Cher revealed some strong opinions about the film's writer-director, Steve Antin. "Terrible director! Really terrible director," she said. "And really terrible script. I remember him saying to me, 'I don't care about what you say, I just want to shoot the dance numbers.' Had it been shorter, it would have squeaked by and been a really good popcorn movie."

Cher also wasn't a fan of her character's sole priority being her glitzy club. "I had no love interest, I was running this [troupe], that's who I was... It could have been a much better film," she said. "It was always sad that it was not a good film." But, while the pop diva mourns the loss of the musical's success, she looks toward the future. 

Cher's next projects include voice acting for "Bobbleheads: The Movie" and creating her own biopic with "Mamma Mia!" producers Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman and writer Eric Roth. Hopefully, the upcoming flick will be a better experience for the Goddess of Pop. "I know the people so I'm sure they'll ... listen to things I have to say," she said (via Variety). "But it doesn't mean I'm going to get the final cut."
