Party like it's 2001! Cher's new single, "Woman's World," has made its way online.

You may recall the singer lambasting a Chicago radio station in October, when an unfinished cut of the song was leaked.

Despite not putting out new music, Cher has kept her public happy by taking on all sorts of celebrities on Twitter. But this Thanksgiving, she kept it pretty PG and promised a disc full of Great Songs:

SAN FRANCISCO -- Controversy has erupted in San Francisco's LGBTQ Castro District over the management of its historic rainbow flag, igniting tensions throughout the district and questions about how to honor the many faces of the community.

The dispute began after a request to raise the transgender pride flag and fly it at half-mast on November 20, the Transgendered Day of Remembrance, was denied by the Merchants of Upper Market and Castro (MUMC), the stewards of the flag.
