Cher is plastic.

Not the singer/actress/diva (although she admits to having work done) -? rather, the Bob Mackie-dressed Barbie Doll. After making her debut alongside the real Cher on the Nov. 16 episode of ?Will & Grace,? the Mattel creation is finally hitting stores.

/>In the episode, Jack gives the doll to Will for his birthday, knowing full well that Will won?t want to keep the gift. Jack proceeds to parade her around town, even reserving seats for her at restaurants, much to the horror of the real Cher, who appears in the last minutes of the episode.

Dressed in a belly-baring lavender halter dress, the doll retails for $39.95. Cher has appeared in miniature once before: In 1976, the toy company Mego made two versions of a Cher doll (one in a pink halter dress, one in a white halter pantsuit), which now sell for $20 to $120 at doll shows and on collector websites, according to the AP.
