LAS VEGAS - Tina Turner will be strutting her stuff on tour again this fall.
During a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show here on Saturday, the 68-year-old singer said she was egged on by actress Sophia Loren, who asked when she was "going back to work." Turner's first concert tour in eight years kicks off Oct. 1 in Kansas City; she didn't say how many shows she'll do or where else they'll be. Tickets go on sale May 12.
Turner appeared with Cher for a joint interview with Winfrey on stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The show is scheduled to air May 8, two days after Cher's Las Vegas production premieres. The two singers performed Turner's signature Proud Mary together and chatted about the debts left them upon their divorces from Sonny Bono and Ike Turner, both of whom are now deceased.
In addition, Cher previewed a number from her new Vegas show, Take Me Home, wearing a shredded blue Bob Mackie dress with a matching blue headpiece flanked by a dozen dancers in 1970s outfits. Winfrey showed video of Cher and Mackie in Mackie's studio looking over some of the 17 costumes Cher will wear.
Perhaps the oddest moments of the taping, though, came off-camera. During a break, Winfrey offered a long aside to the audience about the high-tech toilet in her Caesars Palace suite. The john, she said, lifts its lid automatically and cleans and blow-dries the user's nether regions.
