“Help me, Paul Giamatti. You’re my only hope.” -Cher (probably)

Yesterday, Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti appeared on Howard Stern. During their interview, Howard brought up the fact that Cher is a big fan of Paul’s and is very interested in speaking with him. 56-year-old Paul confirmed this info:
Every now and then I get a message from somebody that says, Cher… she really needs to talk to me. Like it’s important. Like it’s crucial that she talks to me.

And I’m like, “What the f*ck? Why does Cher wanna talk to me?” Nobody will tell me. And then I never hear anything. And then a year will go by, and it happens again.’

Howard responds, “That’s what’s happening to me with you!” Apparently, 70-year-old Howard is also getting messages saying that Paul Giamatti needs to talk to him. Paul admits he reached out once, a few years back, to compliment Howard on his book. But he says any other Paul-to-Howard messages must be a very specific scam. Hmmmm.

Paul says someone who did his podcast got in touch with Cher and gave her Paul’s number. Then, Cher called the Holdovers star and left a message: “All she said was, ‘I hear you wanna talk to me.’ That was it. That was all she said!”

Paul says he called Cher back and said, “That’s great, I’d love to talk to you, but I thought you wanted to talk to me.” Oh please, Paul, don’t even try reversing Cher’s purposeful power dynamic switch-up. The Goddess of Pop is always top dog. Unfortunately, that’s the last Paul heard from Cher. And this mystery is still haunting him:

I have no f*cking idea. I don’t know what she could possibly wanna talk to me about. And it’s killing me; I’d be dying to know what she talks to me about. I mean, it would be great, I’d love to talk to her about anything. I don’t care! It’d be fantastic.

Now I’m curious too. What the hell does Cher want with Paul Giamatti? Is she just a really big Big Fat Liar fan?
