Cher says she feels like the world's oldest teenager at age 69.
She is somehow beaten the age barrier with a mixture of plastic surgery, she freely admits, and an outright refusal to accept the years.

The woman who is exalted in the title Goddess of Pop last month became the face of fashion house Marc Jacobs and is back on the silver screen with the documentary film The Wrecking Crew.
"I never afraid age," she says.
"The only birthday I remember was the night I turned 40. Actually, I had tears in my eyes when brought birthday cake, thinking," My youth is over '
"But the next day I got the role in the movie The Witches of Eastwick with Jack Nicholson and I realized that things were not so bad. After I stopped worrying and thinking about it.
"The only thing I feared was already working with Maggie Smith and Judi Dench in the film Tea with Mussolini. They were so good and so British and so smart. The life out of me is scared!
"That I have, along with Joan Plowright it was easier because it was the least frightening. Listen to all of them, whose sharp wit and so English."
Cher has been a good example of how to stay young by her mother Georgia Holt, who is 88. She has been married seven times, twice Cher's father John Sarkisian.
"It's all in the genes," says Cher.
"My grandmother was only 14 when she was my mother, who in turn was only 19 when she had me. A message is sent, 'get on with life.'
"When I was little I even knew my great grandmother from my father. My mother still went to the gym for 80 years. I have always worked in the hope that I stay fit and youthful. The years go by so quickly, just make the most of them. "
Cher is about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of his first great success with her late ex-husband Sonny Bono, I Got You Baby. It became number 1 in the UK in August 1965.
Since then he has won an Oscar, three Golden Globe Awards and has sold over 100 million albums. She is the only singer to have a registration in the US No1 during each of the past six decades.
"I left home at age 16 to try to do on my own and had my first child at 22," she says.
. "My mom told me I did not need to make a lot of money to be a success She said," You can live, have children, be confident, be beautiful and sing for a living "I have that spirit still. 1960, what has kept me going. "
Despite his wild image Cher has maintained a secret she did not dare have even whispered in the 1960s.
"I do not drink, do not smoke and do not do drugs," she says. She has even removed his tattoos with laser surgery.
"I had my first tattoo at 27 and was a statement, but now it seems that almost everyone has a tattoo and has become boring."
Cher is the ability to move forward, either by changing hairstyle or music, which has been the key to its long-term success. She has also been willing to wear your heart on your sleeve.
At one point shortly after the death in 1998 of her first husband and former singing partner Sonny, who died in a skiing accident, he said that the tragedy summarized his life.
I hated being the wrong side of 50, gave her good roles anymore and she had not enjoyed success in years.
She even endured its longest spell of celibacy. We meet again around that point and said. "Anyone who says they think it’s cool being 50 is full of s ***, however, it does not seem to affect men.
"If I play a role alongside a young man who becomes the story. It just makes my work life more difficult."
In real life that Cher has never found much difficulty in attracting younger men.
There has been a record vote in recent years, which she has never been shy.
In his book The First Time, he wrote that first had sex at the age of 14 years and his first one-night stand was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Warren Beatty, when he was 16.
"My first boyfriend was Milton Broad Light and it was beautiful with black hair and blue eyes," he says.
"I used to moon around even then, only nine or 10 at the time.
"When I was a teenager I was crazy guy. I always wanted to be out and had a crush on this guy and that. But throughout my life I have had the luxury of choosing men who want to be with instead of having to care from me.
"I like men for what they are, not whether they are a good provider or rich or a star. If and when I'm with someone who is for any other reason I like your company.
"I kind of fall in relationships. They may start as friends then something happens. Most have never had a date." She is equally frank about his plastic surgery.
"I've had my t ***, nose and teeth done but nothing more."

"I've had my t ***, nose and teeth done but nothing more."
His statement is supported by medical evidence including a Harley Street specialists and lawyers and Roth Forbes in Los Angeles. They declare that no surgery was performed in Cher "cheeks, chin, ribs, navel, buttocks and thighs."
His best attributes have nothing to do with the surgery: glossy dark hair, light brown eyes and olive skin looking young.
As with almost all the big star there is always a price to pay for the mixture of self-obsession and blinkered ambition is needed to boost natural talent to reach the top.
Sonny she divorced after 11 years. They had a daughter Chastity, 46, who underwent a sex change and is now known as Chaz.
His second marriage in 1975 with musician Gregg Allman lasted only four years.
His son Elijah Blue, 38, admitted last year that he was a reformed heroin addict and his famous mother was "delighted" from his troubled childhood.
"I realize that nobody out there is waiting anxiously for my next career move," says Cher.
"So it's just a matter of working my way into it. When I'm not working I have mostly lived quietly.
"I have even lived in London for a year - in Wapping - and get along very well I would go to the pub and no one bothered me a lot.”
She is now based in Malibu, California, in a house designed herself. A musical about his life is still under discussion. But 50 and 60 years of Cher have been good for her.
There have been more successful, both in film and in the recording studio. His song you have not heard the last of me of the movie Burlesque 2010 he won a Golden Globe for best original song.
And only two years of his 25th album studio near the truth ago became her biggest seller for over 20 years.
His new film The Wrecking Crew is about a group of older musicians classically trained to anonymously reproduce on the recordings of the biggest selling acts of the 1960s and early 1970s.
They include The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, the Mamas & The Papas, John Denver, Glen Campbell and The Carpenters. And Cher course.
He has won many accolades.
Phill Marder, director of Goldmine, one aimed at collectors of records, tapes and memories magazine, says: "In the 1960s Cher advanced female rebellion in the world of rock and became the prototype of female rock star.”
But his biographer Mark Bego is even free.
"Nobody in the history of show has had a run of the magnitude and scope of Cher."
