This is the seat cushion used by truck drivers to relieve point-of-contact pressure and reduce lower back discomfort inherent in long periods of sitting. Unlike foam or springs that apply counter pressure, the medical-grade elastic gel interior has a patented honeycomb shape that distributes weight evenly to adjacent columns, eliminating pressure points and providing support. The cushion fits in most chairs and its 2"-thick gel interior creates the sensation of sitting on air as it conforms to the unique shape of your body, mitigating impact on joints and muscles no matter where you sit on the surface. The durable elastic gel won't develop permanent depressions and it immediately reclaims its original form when you get up. The reversible cushion has soft and firm sides, a washable polyester and spandex cover, and an integrated handle. 18" L x 16" W x 2" H. (5 1/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Truck Driver's Comfort Cushion comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

This is the best seat cushion we have found to use while sitting for any reason. It does cost more but is truly a "you get what you pay for" helper.

Very good for a wheel chair person
By Hipster
from Kingston, Ontario, Canada
My wife had a hip replacement November 25/12. Incorrect equipment was installed and they had to take the new hip out. Now she has no hip. She has had six operations in five months. The cushion truly helps when she is in her wheel chair. Thank you.

This product is MIRACULOUS!
By Doubting Thomas, The Now Believer.
from New York, New York
I am a Doubting Thomas & very skeptical about most product claims. I am a surgical candidate for spine problems. I never thought I could get relief from sitting down. Often I would be in so much spinal pain I would have to eat standing up. This product from the moment I sat on it made my spinal pain disappear almost 95%. The medical grade silicone web is so wonderful to sit on since it takes the pressure off of the spine & makes it feel as if all your weight is evenly dispersed away from the back & buttocks. Almost as if your sitting on air, pain free! Both the product & it's cover are very well made & seems as if it will last quite a long time. I originally thought the price just for the cover was a bit too expensive, but once you see the craftsmanship involved, such as a convenient & sturdy handle & zipper you will see this cover & the pad are well worth the money. When I sit down, I am OUT OF PAIN! I would recommend this product for anyone with arthritis, & any kind of back problems, including, but not limited to Spinal Stenosis, which by the way, I also have. Purchase this product & you will be so grateful you did. This is a tremendous WINNER of a Product!

Mom busted for drinking while breastfeeding
(NEWSER) – An Arkansas mom out with her family at a bar-restaurant wound up in jail after a waitress called police to say she was breastfeeding and drinking. Officers arrested Tasha Adams and charged her with child endangerment, though the deputy city attorney in Conway, Ark., dropped the charge last week, reports ABC News. "I did drink. I did breastfeed," Adams tells ABC. "I didn't know it was illegal. If I knew it was illegal, I wouldn't have done it." It's actually not illegal under Arkansas law, but the officers at the scene used the child-endangerment charge to take her into custody.

This is the rolling tumbler piloted by a child ensconced inside its protective inflatable honeycomb structure. Made from heavy-duty 1/8"-thick PVC, 30 hexagonal chambers form the tumbler's globular shape; each end provides a 13 3/4" diameter opening that allows entry for a child up to 80 lbs. With ample room in the interior for changing position, a child's shifting body weight is the only requirement to generate momentum-Newtonian physics provides the physical comedy. Ten transparent chambers enable pilots to avoid obstacles, ensuring a proper heading when aiming for rivals. Inflates by mouth or with pump (recommended, electric air pump sold separately). Ages 3 and up. 47" diameter. (7 lbs.)

Use an air pump with some finesse....
By Sacro-iliac sommelier
from Northwest Illinois
Allowed to off-gas on porch for a few days as plastic smell was very strong. Might not bother most folks. Modular design required some time to inflate, but results more than justified effort. Used an air mattress pump to inflate each module until just plump. This avoided possible over-inflation and bursting. Placed it before the 3 year old and, with minimal coaxing, he entered and had a heckuva good time. Followed directions and kept out of elements when not in use. After several days it was deflated, wiped clean, allowed to dry before being folded away for storage. Seems durable enough. Quite satisfied.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sheer fun
By Popular Grammy
from Aspen Co.
Keep inflated all summer, easy storage in garage, pull out when Grand kids arrive, they run for it. Gave one to friends with visiting Grand kids, they loved it, took it to town park, huge hit. House manager saw it, immediately ordered one for his kids.
FUN for All the Children
By Jane, the Artist
from Virginia Beach, Va
My Older children were literally salivating to get a hold of this honey comb tumbler. We took it out onto the Dunes and had a rolling good time. They are 14, 12, and 11. My 14 year old at first stated that she would not be caught dead inside of it, but believe me, she could not WAIT to roll down the dunes inside of it screaming the entire way. Thank you to the sales associate for the recommendation. Dont let the picture on the box fool you. My children LOVE this toy, it gets them off of their COMPUTERS and outside where they belong. They love it. It is rolling great fun, and I hear nothing but laughter and ,"wipe-out!" Then they are rolling it back up the hill for more daring stunts. They have even posted their fun to their facebook accounts, showing their fun to their friends, who all want to come and try the Honey-comb tumbler. It is awesome. What a concept!

The big ball went over big time!
By nona
from windsor ontario
The kids loved it but it was hard for them to roll themselves in it. Parents will have to do a lot of the running around.
Fun so far ...
By Uncle Jon
from Venango County, PA
My 4 yr old nephew and 3 yr old niece so far just sit in it and rock it slightly. We have had it for 1 week but I don't know if it will handle alot of roughness. They really have had alot of fun in it.
Grand Kids LOVE It!
By Jamma
from Chicago suburbs
Ideal for the 7-year-old, who can make it tumble on his own. The 3-year-old isn't big enough, so someone has to push it for him. Both absolutely loved it. Although the product description includes the inflated diameter, we hadn't realized it wouldn't fit through any doors in our house, nor in our mini-van, so we'll have to store it deflated. We have a big back yard with lots of open space, so it's great here, but would not work well in a small yard. If you have an electric pump that plugs into the car, you can transport it deflated and inflate it at the park.
Great for small children
By Grandpa Leo
from Bishop,CA
My grandchildren in Maine love it.

WATCH: Adorable Video Of 12-Year-Old Shakira Singing & Belly Dancing
Listen to Shakira Radio on iHeartRadio
Shakira is the real deal.
Here she is in 1988 when she was just 12 years old, singing and dancing at her school in Barranquilla, Colombia. She has two costume changes, and performs three different songs, finishing up her set with some belly dancing.
"First I would like to thank Social Services for helping all those people in Colombia. I would like to thank them for that and for the invitation to participate in the singing contest," she says.

Cops: Teen kills man for phone, is upset with model
(NEWSER) – It was a crime both "tragic and senseless," say prosecutors. David Peterson, 54, was out for a walk in his Seattle neighborhood last month when police say high school student Byron White tried to steal his cellphone, theSeattle Times reports. Peterson fought off the teen and called police, but informed the 911 operator that his assailant had doubled back. That's when White, 17, shot Peterson in the chest, according to police, who arrived minutes later to find Peterson dead in a pet shop parking lot, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports. The teen later told friends "the man had seen his face, and he had to shoot him," a detective alleges.

From the press release
Says Jingle Punks founder Jared Gutstadt: "Itâs a simple concept⦠We took songs from the American Hipster songbook (MGMT, Strokes, White Stripes) and re-imagined them as arrangements for a civilized dinner party as hosted by the transitioning adult hipster. Introducing â The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra playing our favorite âhipster approvedâ songs washed through the Mark Mothersbaugh filter."To read more or comment...
Here' some information about R. Kelly's upcoming show in Cleveland. Last time I saw him many years ago on the ill-fated "Best of Both Worlds Tour" with Jay-Z, women in the audience were literally holding up their small children seemingly as offerings to him.
-WHAT? You wonder why someone would have their 5-9 year old child out at a loud concert at 11 p.m?
-EH? You say it's gross that someone would present their single digit aged daughter to a man who videotaped himself having sex with a child?
With a brand new rockin' chart topping album Wasting Light out and yet another catchy single in "Rope," Dave Grohl and the boys will be returning to Cleveland in the Fall with Rise Against and the wonderfully named Mariachi el Bronx.
I saw the Foo Fighters with Weezer at the Wolstein Center several years ago and it was a fine rock n' roll show with Grohl as your rock star guide.To read more or comment...

Did not meet expectations
By Tucson Gal
from Tucson, AZ
The instructions were poorly translated to English and did not give ample direction on how to adjust for color. The negatives scanned were much brighter than they should have been.

Great tool; easy to use.
By Pecosbackpacker
from New mexico
Love this little guy except for the plastic platen. It attracts dust and is vey hard to keep dust free and clean. A glass platen would be soooo much better. I'll probably have our local glass shop make a glass platen for me to replace the original.

An enormous time saver. Much quicker than computer.
By Ian
from Lake Hughes, CA
Takes about 1/4 the time to scan and save than doing it on my computer scanner. Easy to learn and very intuitive. I have 4000 photos to scan, and can do about 100 per session. Resolution could be a bit better, but on the proper setting is not bad. I am happy with it.
Good device for scanning photos, slides, and 35mm film
By Phil
from San Rafael, CA
Great device for scanning photos, slides, and 35mm film. Documentation is poor, but operation is easy to figure out - not that many options. Scanned results are satisfying. It's compact and easy to store. The scan surface is plastic and easily scratched, and spare parts are not available.

Twisted Sister supporting band documentary fundraising effort
Listen to Twisted Sister on iHeartRadio
Twisted Sister's Dee Snider says the group isn't behind the creation of new documentary about the band, but they're giving it their stamp of approval. In a video on the film's Indiegogo.com webpage, Snider explains that all the credit goes to filmmaker Andy Horn, who wasn't a Twisted Sister fan when he started the project.
Snider adds that since Horn didn't approach the movie from a fan's perspective it's genuine, and not simply a piece of band-generated propaganda.
The rocker also says the movie is very inspiring. He admits that seeing some of Horn's footage of the group from the 1970 prompted him to lose weight and get in shape so he could once again "get out there and rock the way God intended" them to rock.
Dee is also hoping his appeal will inspire people to donate to the project. Horn is trying to raise $150,000 so he can distribute the film and get it on the festival circuit. The group is assisting in the effort with incentives.
A member of Twisted Sister will record the outgoing voicemail message to the first 25 people who donate $500. The first four people who give $1,200 dollars will be treated to lunch with Jay Jay French, while the first person to contribute $5,000 will get to bring three friends to a dinner with Snider.

'Post-antibiotic' era a deadlier threat than AIDS: WHO
(NEWSER) – Drug resistance today poses a bigger danger worldwide than did AIDS in the 1980s, the World Health Organization says in a dire-sounding report out today: "Without urgent, coordinated action, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill," says a top official. Indeed, we could see a world where a child's fall from a bike could mean a "fatal infection," another WHO doctor tells the Telegraph.

Rush planning '41st Anniversary' tour next year
The guys in Rush are doing their best to take a break.
Guitarist Alex Lifeson tells "Rolling Stone" that they just had a band meeting in which they agreed to "not talk about anything band-wise for the next year." But he says "the other people at that meeting" didn't get the message, so "there are already plans" in the works for a tour next year.
Alex adds that it's "going to be a 41st anniversary tour, or whatever they're going to call it." The rocker admits the group hasn't "talked seriously" about what they intend to do, but he says they'd like to put together shows that are "very pleasing for the fans across the board." Lifeson adds that he believes it's "going to be a long tour," so they "just need to stay healthy until then."
Rush wrapped up their "Clockwork Angels" tour last year. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Rush as a trio featuring their longtime, classic lineup of Lifeson, frontman Geddy Lee, and drummer Neil Peart. Lifeson started Rush in 1968.

Jackson V. AEG Live trial to begin today
Katherine Jackson's multi-billion dollar lawsuit against concert promoters AEG Live over the death of her son, Michael Jackson, begins today.
Katherine is suing AEG Live for 40-billion dollars, claiming the company is liable for Michael's death because they hired Dr. Conrad Murray to care for Michael as he geared up for his "This Is It" comeback concert series in 2009. Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for giving the pop star a deadly dose of sedatives. He is currently serving a four year prison sentence.
While AEG Live's attorneys claim that the pop star chose Murray as his personal doctor, lawyers for Jackson claim they have e-mail evidence showing that wasn't exactly the case. The e-mail in question reportedly shows a conversation between AEG Live co-CEO Paul Gongaware and the "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega. Just 11 days before Jackson's death, Gongaware pointed out to Ortega that AEG is paying Murray's salary, not Michael Jackson. Even if that was case, lawyers for the concert promoter also argue that Michael had a drug abuse problem well before he signed on with the company.

Mixed Martial Arts Referee & Judges course.
Sunday 31st October 2010.
10.00am to approx 16.00
Venue : Elements MMA, 2nd Floor, Rear of Ladybird House, Rubery, Birmingham B45 9AL.
Course fee £50.00
Level 1 MMA Referee & Judges course and workshop seminar. This course is designed to give both the novice and experienced referee/judge both an introduction and detailed training and application to the ever increasing sport of MMA.
Marc Goddard has been involved in the UK MMA scene in one form or another over the last 10 years, his involvement in the Martial Arts much longer still. A former MMA & Submission Grappling competitor Marc then moved into the officiating side of the sport. Calling upon his years of direct experience and his passion for the sport of MMA, this coupled with Marc's unparalleled attention to detail quickly led for Marc to become the referee of choice for many of the UK's leading domestic promotions.
Cage Warriors, Cage Gladiators, OMMAC, BAMMA, Ultimate Force, House of Pain, FX3, Knuckle Up and the newly formed Kudegra are just some of the promotions that enlisted Marc for his services within their organisations. Marc established himself and gained the respect of his peers for his no-nonsense and directly strict but fair approach, his authority and years of experience settled many along with his willingness for his consultative approach to his work.
Marc then became the first ever UK Referee to be appointed for the UFC and quickly followed this up by being the first ever UK MMA Referee to be licensed and sanctioned to Referee in the USA. Marc has since travelled through Europe and further a field taking in Ireland, Germany, Abu Dhabi and the USA culminating again in another first when he became the first ever UK official to referee a UFC Main Event bout in November of 2009.
Some words of note from some well-known names of the UK MMA scene:
Course content to include :"I have had the honour to work along side Marc Goddard on numerous MMA events, too many to keep count to be honest. Marc and I go back many years and became good friends through the world of MMA.
I have been lucky enough to see Marc grow from a keen MMA referee at the beginning of his career to a World-class referee that he is today. Working with Marc and knowing he is the official in charge of the action, gives you a sense of security and you know that no one will seriously get hurt in the octagon.
Marc always comes across as firm, fair and in control. This I feel, also makes the fighters feel much more at ease when they know they have one of the best referee's in the World looking after their fight. I for one could not name a higher-class referee than Marc Goddard. Outstanding."
-Ian "the machine" Freeman. UK MMA Pioneer.
" Marc Goddard is best characterised by his no nonsense approach to MMA officiating. A former pro fighter with a long and respectable grappling background; Goddard has been the Head official for Cage Warriors since July 2005 and has commanded respect from fellow pros, journalists and event staff from the very start. Over the years his unrivalled knowledge of the many intricacies of the game have prevented many controversial incidents from occurring and has given the CWFC team support on many levels ranging from medical cover, backstage procedures as well as professional officiating inside and outside the cage.
Marc ensures that a show is run professionally from the start of the weigh-ins until the final bell and has shown on numerous occasions that he will not shirk from making big decisions whether they are in amateur bouts or World Title fights.
As a result it did not surprise the CWFC team when Marc was called up to be the first ever UK referee to officiate in the UFC in the UK, Europe and the World and was also the first ever UK referee to be licensed to officiate in the United States. We feel he is an indispensable part of our team."
-Ian Dean. Cage Warriors Fighting Championships / Warrior Promotions.
"Marc Goddard has been my no.1 referee since 2007. He has taken charge shows I have promoted including Cage Gladiators and OMMAC. Marc takes control of that side of the event- conducting a thorough rules meeting with all fighters at which he stamps his authority with the fighters as well as giving them the assurance that they are in very good hands.
In my opinion he is the best referee in World MMA, the best on the UFC payroll. In such a technical and tough combat sport it is imperative fighter safety is paramount and having a referee with so much experience has helped the stature of my organisations grow.
Marc's wealth of experience as a fighter and coach gives him a deep understanding of the MMA game and this knowledge and style of refereeing should be passed on to ensure standards are maintained in the future."
-Chris Zorba. Promoter OMMAC / Cage Gladiators.
"Marc's reputation as a referee is second to none and he is known around the World for his fair and thorough officiating. He's a former competitor, so as a referee has an amazing insight into what his charges are going through. When you couple that with his attention to detail, extensive knowledge and vast experience, you've got a World-class referee on your hands."
- Hywel Teague. Editor Fighters Only Magazine [former]
"Having been refereed by Mr Goddard several times, I always feel confident when he is the third man in the cage. I know he will be fair and professional and always have the fighter's safety as his priority. He is without a doubt one of the leading officials in the sport and sets a fine example for others pursuing a career in the business. If all referee's were of his calibre, the sport would take a step forward in professionalism and safety."
- Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy. UFC Welterweight Title Contender
"I have known Marc Goddard for a number of years as an avid competitor and a work colleague in an industry that friendships and professional working relationships are a key to the development of any product. He has carried his professionalism and discipline through his competitor years, right up to his working attitude today.
Marc's knowledge surrounding the inner workings of the sport of MMA, has helped us on our EFNSports Events and on BAMMA. An integral part to our team and anyone who has any dealings with him, his knowledge base as to the refereeing practices and the inner workings of the behind the scenes of many MMA shows is invaluable."

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your teen's weight and height, calculate body mass index (BMI), and plot the measurements on growth charts.
2. Check your teen's blood pressure and vision using standard testing equipment.
3. Ask questions, address concerns, and offer advice about your teen's:
Eating. Teens should be eating three meals a day that include a colorful array of vegetables, whole grains, and at least three servings of dairy products that provide 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day. Include enough lean meats, poultry, and seafood in the diet to reach 15 milligrams of iron per day for young women and 11 milligrams for guys. One serving of beef has 2–3 milligrams of iron. Opt for water over juice or sports drinks.
Sleeping. Teens generally need about 8 hours of sleep per night. Inadequate sleep can lead to decreased alertness and poor performance.
Physical activity. Teens should aim for 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Encourage your teen to limit his or her screen time to no more than 2 hours daily, not including time spent on homework. Set a good example by limiting your own screen time and exercising daily.
Growth and development. By 18, it's common for many teens to:
4. Perform a physical exam. In a young woman, perform a pelvic exam if she is sexually active and has excessive discharge or pelvic pain. In guys, examine the testicles for masses and varicocele (swollen veins).
5. Update immunizations. Immunizations can protect people from serious illnesses, so it's important that your teen receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
6. Order tests. Your doctor may assess your teen's risk for anemia, high cholesterol, and tuberculosis and order tests, if needed.
Here are some things to keep in mind until the next routine visit:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

The purchase price was not announced, but it is believed Fox paid about $230 million for STO, which is owned by Larry and Paul Dolan, who also own the Tribe. Fox Sports Ohio will continue to air Indians games for at least 10 years and will pay rights fees of $40 million, a fee that is expected to escalate during the life of the contract.
Until the creation of STO, Fox Sports Ohio televised Indians games.
With the Tribe onboard, the Fox family of 20 regional sports networks owns the rights to televise the games of 16 major-league baseball teams.

By sending free-agent to be outfielder Shin-Shoo Choo and utility player Jason Donald to the Cincinnati Reds and veteran reliever Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Tribe received center fielder Drew Stubbs from the Reds and pitchers Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the Diamondbacks, who received young shorttop Didi Gregorius from the Reds.To read more or comment...
Several source reported tonight that the Indians have signed free agent Mark Reynolds to fill their hole at first base.
The one-year, $6 million contract includes incentives for plate appearances worth as much as $1.5 million. He made $7.5 million in 2012.To read more or comment...
The Indians lost two pitchers but gained a first baseman in this morning's Rule 5 draft, the final official event of the Winter Meetings in Nashville.
With first base a definite need, the Tribe took 24-year-old Chris McGuiness, who played last season at Frisco, the Double-A affiliate of the Rangers. In 123 games, McGuiness batted .268 with 25 doubles, 23 home runs, 77 RBI and 65 runs. In 456 at-bats, he struck out 107 times and drew 69 walks.
McGuiness began his professional career after being taken in the 13th round of the 2009 draft by the Red Sox.
With the second pick of Thursday's lottery of players unprotected on the 40-man roster, the Cubs took Hector Rondon, 24, once a bright prospect in the Tribe farm system, who has had to overcome two serious injuries.
Rondon began his comeback on the mound last season by pitching twice in the Arizona Rookie League and twice at Akron, throwing a total of seven innings. The right-hander suffered a fractured elbow in 2011 and underwent elbow reconstruction surgery in 2010.
The Orioles took another Indians starter, T.J. McFarland, 23, who pitched at two levels in 2012. The left-hander posted an 8-2 record and 2.69 earned-run average in 10 starts for Akron and compiled an 8-6 record and 4.82 ERA at Columbus.
The Indians have named right-hander Cody Allen winner of the Bob Feller Award and outfielder Tim Fedroff the recipient of the Lou Boudreau Award as the organization's minor-league pitcher and player of the year.
Allen. 24, pitched at three minor-league levels before being promoted to Cleveland on July 20, becoming only the second member of the 2011 draft class to make it to the majors. He began his big-league career by making 12 consecutive scoreless appearances and went on to post an 0-1 record and 3.72 earned-run average in 27 relief outings.
Fedroff, 25, began the season at Akron and was promoted on June 6 to Columbus, where he batted .325 with 52 runs, 14 doubles, nine home runs and 32 RBI in 69 games.

A Geek's Guide to the NSA Scandal: What You May Not Know About Data Collection
The domestic surveillance scandals deserve serious discussion, but unfortunately there's a lot of misinterpretation and misinformation flowing through the mediasphere. I believe it's driven by misunderstanding of technical issues as well as a phenomenon known as confirmation bias. The result smacks of paranoid fear-mongering inside a cloud of unknowing instead of a clear-eyed search for the truth.
First, a confession: I'm what's known as a "nerd." Possibly also a "geek." In addition to a musical background, I've been programming computers for more than 20 years, before beginning my LittleGreenFootballs.com blog. So from a technical angle, there were some things about the media coverage of the NSA spying case that set off warning bells for me from the start.
This was the opening paragraph of the Guardian's first report on the PRISM PowerPoint slides they obtained from Edward Snowden (a similar claim was made by the Washington Post):
The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian.
Now, that's how to get a nerd's attention! "Direct access" to the servers of every top Internet company, reading all the email and Internet communications of every American citizen? That would be quite a bombshell indeed—not to mention a prodigious technical feat.
But almost immediately I realized that "direct access" could (and probably did) mean something much more limited than the indiscriminate snooping suggested. Here's the actual wording of the slide in question:
PRISM – Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers…
Without getting too technical, in Web technology a very common technique when files need to be exchanged between users is to set up something known as a "sandboxed FTP directory." This is a special directory that can be accessed only with a username and password; it does not allow the user to see anything else on the server, only the contents of that one directory. There are other ways to achieve this same end, and this kind of sandboxed system, which would allow the feds to log in and pick up whatever was placed there for them, seemed much more believable than the NSA having free access to rummage around on the tech companies' servers.

Cher opens up about Madonna: 'I just thought she was a b-word'
Cher versus Madonna might just be one of the longest-running feuds in showbiz. Between talking bad about Madonna on the British talk show "Wogan" in 1991 or tweeting "WTF is MDNA" in July 2012 about Madge's last album, it seems that Cher has always had something sassy to say about her fellow music legend.
However, when participating in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" segment on Sunday, the 67-year-old "Believe" singer insisted that she doesn't actually hate Madonna ... she just thinks she's the b-word.
"I never hated her, I just thought she was a b-word," Cher said. "Actually I quite respect her. Actually I think Madge might be one of the most amazing artists I've known. I don't like everything she does, for sure, but she is always riding the crest of the wave. She always saw trends way before anyone else, and had great videos."
Watch the video to find out what Cher had to say about her infamous WTF tweet from over a year ago.
