Chaz Bono debuted his new look this morning -- and said since he started transitioning from female to male, "Life is just great now."

Cher and Sonny Bono's daughter-turned-son was on "GMA," where he called his sex change "the best decision I've ever made" because he's now "living the life I've always wanted to live."
Chaz is now only eight months into a years-long process.

Both are known to wig out.

Cher has made her first statement regarding her daughter's decision to become a man.
She tells PEOPLE: "Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny, and although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding ... The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child."
As TMZ first reported, Cher has known about Chaz's decision for a year.

Chastity Bono, civil rights advocate, journalist, author and musician, is in the early stages of changing his gender -- transitioning from female to male, TMZ has learned.
Bono, the child of legendary entertainers Sonny and Cher, began the process earlier this year, shortly after his 40th birthday.
"Yes, it's true -- Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," confirmed Bono's publicist, Howard Bragman.
"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago.
We ask that the media respect Chaz's privacy during this long process as he will not be doing any interviews at this time."

TMZ just got this statement from Neil G. Giuliano, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD):
"Chaz Bono's decision to live his life authentically represents an important step forward, both for him personally and for all who are committed to advancing discussions about fairness and equality for transgender people," said Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). "Coming out as transgender is an extremely personal decision and one that is never made lightly. We look forward to hearing Chaz's story in his own words in the future."
"GLAAD encourages media outlets to cover this story accurately, and to avoid speculation about the details of Chaz's story before he is ready to tell it in his own words."
"The GLAAD Media Reference Guide and the Associated Press Stylebook call on media to use the name and pronoun preferred by the transgender person - in this case, referring to him as Chaz and using male pronouns."

So fire trucks and ambulances rushed to Cher's house less than an hour ago. Turns out the company that was servicing her alarm system was working on the system, and activated the panic button, thinking the system was on test.
It wasn't on test, and emergency vehicles rushed there. A law enforcement person told us... in Malibu, this happens a lot.
Rich woman's problems.

Fire trucks and ambulances were called to the Malibu home of Cher this morning.
The L.A. County Fire Department tells us a medical emergency button on the house alarm was pushed at 11:16 AM.
It is unclear what the nature of the emergency is ... or who the patient is.
Story developing ...

If Cher could turn back time, she wouldn't have to spend $915 on make-up.

62-year-old Cherilyn Sarkisian was spotted going into Sephora today -- and our spies inside say she spent almost a grand on bronzer, blush and eyeshadow!
Seriously. $915. Not kidding.

Here's Bill Kaulitz (left), lead singer of German pop band Tokio Hotel, at an award show in England on Thursday -- and singer/actress/icon Cher at the Oscars in 1986 (right).

One of them is very popular with female impersonators.

Don't you know you can't touch the Cher! An overzealous fan got a little too close for Miss Thing's comfort early this morning in Nashville, and cops took him down.

Cops say 36-year-old Calvin Houghland was drinking a bit too much last night at some place called "The World Famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge" when he started harassing Cher and, at one point, tried grabbing the 62-year-old diva. More importantly, what the hell was Cher doing at The World Famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge?!

One girl hilariously -- at least to us -- broke into tears after catching a glimpse of the Jonas Brothers ... but that's nothing compared to the chick who says she got pooped on while waiting to meet 'em.
Also in NY: Martha Stewart got swept up by Jonas Bros. fans, Mama Knowles said Beyonce wasn't preggers and we talked to B herself later that night at a Hennessey dinner.
In L.A.: Cher went out in public, Rose McGowan bashed Congressman Weiner, two of J. Lo's exes were spotted, Bai Ling showed off her new sex toy and Laker fan Fergie left at half time -- missing her team get brutally defeated.

Here's Cher (left) turning back time two years ago (when she was just 59-years-old) at an L.A. event -- and a Cher doll (right) at a Caesars Palace boutique in Vegas.

One of these is manufactured completely out of plastic.

Chastity -- lone child of Sonny and Cher -- looked more like her dad as she celebrated her 39th birthday yesterday.
They shopped for furniture and Chastity tried out an oversized chaise for size.
