Chaz Bono, the son of gay icon Cher, will be interviewed on television for the first time since announcing he will undergo gender-reassignment surgery. Bono, 40, was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight’s Mary Hart and Mark Steines at Bono’s Los Angeles home for a series of segments that will appear on the entertainment news program beginning Thursday, October 29 as a kickoff to November sweeps. A source reports that Bono, who was born biologically female but is transitioning to male, has also posed for a photo shoot showing off his newly reconstructed man chest.

Bono’s memoir, titled Coming Clean, is scheduled to be published in the spring of 2011.

    I don't know what to think first: Sonny and Cher's "lilttle girl" is now 40 years old or that she's now a boy. Chazz looks like the guy who tackled me in football and almost killed me.
