Gay hearts across the world were broken this week when Cher, the world’s most comeback-iest comeback queen, revealed that her long-awaited duet with Lady Gaga had been canned. The song in question is called “The Greatest Thing” and, apparently according to Gaga, it just isn’t. From Cher’s Twitter account: “It’s done & she [Gaga] doesn’t like it, or want it to come out. She’s an artist, it’s up to her. I’m disappointed 2 (sic).”
