I went on and talked about Cher and this dog in Italy (“Tea With Mussolini”) named Pippo. And how Cher promised me I could have the dog (bought from a gardener at a Villa where we were shooting). Anyway, long story short, I didn’t get the dog. Cher recorded a special message on her answering machine, which I called during Rosie’s show, and she said, “I’m out walking my dog, Pippo. If this is you, Lil, you’re not getting the dog.”
