Minnelli, Gest divorce battle turns even uglier

The divorce battle between Liza Minnelli and David Gest is becoming increasingly bitter, with the couple trading insults through their lawyers.

Minnelli’s lawyer, Frederic Siegel complained that the entertainer’s husband, David Gest, was avoiding pre-trial examination by hiding in Hawaii. But he said Gest was healthy enough to host a New Year’s Eve concert last week.
