Department of central France; capital Bourges (4)

I believe the answer is:

cher

(Other definitions for cher that I've seen before include "Singer; dear (French)" , "US singer/actress - French river/department" , "1987 Best Actress Oscar winner for "Moonstruck"" , "Moonstruck star" , "Sonny and - -" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
