Today Chaz Bono chats with Ellen DeGeneres about preparing for Dancing with the Stars, and he also surprised our fave talk show host with a call from none other than his mom Cher!

On viewers boycotting the show, Cher told Ellen:

"You know, I don’t know if people are that determined … if you got that excess time and that amount of hostility, I’m not so sure that I can say anything to you that would make you change your feelings. Because you know those are such feelings of hostility and fear, that I don’t know that I would have any magic words to make you feel more comfortable and to soothe you into not being terrified of my child dancing on Dancing With The F****** Stars.”

Talk about a protective mama! So how's the dancing going? "My first dance is pretty good. The Cha Cha," Chaz revealed. "The Quick Step gives me nightmares but I’m starting to feel pretty confident. We did it for some of the other people on the show today and they seem to really like it." Cher quipped, "I got to tell you something. You doing this dance is about as scary as you making 'the “change.'" Ellen found this to be "hilarious," and while Chaz has certainly been through a lot of adjustments over the years, we're curious to see if he has what it takes to snag the highly coveted disco ball trophy.

Tune in to the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars on September 19 to find out if Chaz can cha cha his way to the top!
