Headline: Cher to pay more than $1 million in legal fees

Caption: The Believe singer had applied to recoup her legal bills after battling her ex-husband's widow, Mary Bono, in court. Cher, 80, had spent USD$1,023,605 on top-ranked legal representation as she worked to fight Mary, the widow of Cher's ex-husband Sonny Bono, after Mary stopped royalty payments to Cher. The singer's 1978 divorce settlement with Sonny had previously entitled Cher to a permanent 50% cut of any publishing revenue from songs written before their split, including their monster hit, I Got You Babe.
