Chaz Bono To Reportedly Compete on 'Dancing with the Stars'
The 41-year-old writer and activist, who underwent a gender-change operation in 2009, is said to have been spotted at a gym preparing for his debut on the ballroom dance competition. Chaz will be paired up with a female dancer. In the 1998 book 'Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming-Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, & Their Families', Bono said he knew she was "somehow different, specifically different from who my mom expected me to be." He talked about how Cher "went ballistic for a few days" and banished him from their Manhattan apartment although she later accepted it after seeing her "as a full person for the first time." ABC will officially reveal the lineup for this season's 'Dancing with the Stars' during Monday's episode of 'Bachelor Pad'. Chaz Bono, the transgender son of Sonny and Cher Bono, will reportedly compete on the upcoming season of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
