THE BATTLE OVER Elijah Blue

CHER IS FACING OFF AGAINST THE ESTRANGED WIFE OF HER TROUBLED SON, ELIJAH BLUE ALLMAN.

IT was a move of last resort. In late December, Cher filed for a conservatorship over the estate of her son Elijah Blue Allman, her only child with the late Gregg Allman, her husband from 1975 to 1979. After years of alcohol and drug addition, the 47-year-old musician was in a rehab facility in Mexico, where he still resides. But the "Believe" singer isn't convinced he can successfully live on his own. According to court documents, Cher is concerned Elijah is "substantially unable" to "manage his own financial resources" amid his struggles.
