Cougar Catch of the Week: Cher, 62, and 38-Year-Old Hikin’ Bikin’ Adventurin’ Tim Medvetz

Divine Cher is known for dating men much younger than herself — Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise and Rob Camilletti, the then-22-year-old bagel baker.

But now Cher, 62, is in a serious relationship with her 38-year-old biker boyfriend Tim Medvetz. Although not as famous or as rich as the songbird, Medvetz did climb Mount Everest for the Discovery Channel series "Everest: Beyond the Limit" — despite having metal plates and pins in his spine, ankle and skull after a bike crash in 2001.

The August 4 print edition of the National Enquirer is reporting that they plan to wed by the end of the year. Our own Liz Smith, however, doesn’t foresee wedding bells, writing in her nationally syndicated column on July 23 that Cher is "mad for him. She is extremely happy. This does not translate inevitably to marriage. I’d be surprised if she made such a commitment at this point."

The tabloid reported that Cher will be taking the jump and that the two-time divorcee is having her boyfriend, who has been called a "former Hell’s Angel” and said to have a secret girlfriend, sign a $600-million prenuptial agreement.

A freaking PSYCHIATRIST? Figures. A woman hating psychiatrist… why doesn’t that really surprise me?

DeB, I think you came onto WOW after his remarks declined and are not on as often. I think if you go to his name on his post, indeed any of our names on the posts, if I’m not mistaken, you can get caught up on everything that has been posted. For instance, if you click on my name, you can see all my posts. Check it and tell me if i’m correct.

Just remember that after you read them, you don’t go to your car and run over the first man you see on the sidewalk…

I remember quite a few of his earlier remarks, then he disappeared for awhile… I thought he got tired of pissing off women!

Won’t be casting any aspersions here. “Go on honey, take a chance. More power to you. God Bless. Don’t scare the horses,” etc. For me - I prefer the older mountain lion. Give me the well-traveled, well-read, politically astute, lion. One that can dance and tell a joke, make me laugh. I simply don’t know what I’d have in common with a cougar.

Oh, I see. The woman is the cougar. Well, you still get my post.

I’m sure glad you cleared that up, N P–––––for a minute I thought you had managed a metamorphosis on us.

NP—I’m with you. I say whatever someone wants to do—wish them happiness. But I like mature men. Already have a son, thank you.

What’s with the National Enquirer as a news source? I thought we women over 40 were smart enough to get our news from grown up papers, not tabloids. And didn’t we already go over ” Cher’s new love” awhile back? Must admit, though, I do love Liz Smith.

I’m with you, Maurine. If wowOwow is going to use a tabloid source, why not the “Weekly World News?” At least then, we’d get some entertaining stories about the “Bat Boy,” the misogynistic rants of “Ed Anger” and some recent Elvis sightings.

So I’m a “cougar”?? Wow - I love felines of all varieties so I’m guessing that’s a good thing. I’m 69 - he’s 49 and we love, laugh, debate, dance and basically enjoy life all over the place. He came into my life when I had totally given up (thankfully) on men - and filled a place in my life that apparently had a ginormous void. Yeah cougars!!
