Gest Again

Local oddity celeb and concert promoter David Gest is in the news yet again, and while it’s not quite as repulsive as the previous report of his former assistant suing Gest for sexual harassment (silly guy, suggesting he dip Gest’s penis into hot fudge is just a joke — lighten up!), it does remind us what questionable judgment the guy seems to have.

Gest’s lawyers are trying to get out of a prenup the impresario signed with ex-wife Liza Minnelli, citing ‘substantial nondisclosure” on Minnelli’s part. So what did the little songbird not disclose? Only that she had herpes and was more than likely going to put back a few bottles of vodka each day and beat him silly. Now, Gest’s not saying he wouldn’t have married her had he known, but he never would have signed a prenup.

Read about the sordid affair here. Then go take a shower.
