Friday

But, really, when's the right time?

I'm sorry--I had started a couple of actual, prosey entries (one of which, dear ttractor, was written as a full-on reply to your "I feel cynical" comment)...but alas, I found this, and just had to wonder, when is the right time to divulge to your date that you're a violent alocholic with herpes?

Gest Wants Judge to Void Minnelli Pre-Nup

Music producer David Gest has asked a New York City judge to void the prenuptial agreement he signed with Liza Minnelli because she didn't tell him she was "a violent alcoholic with herpes."

During a court hearing on Friday, Gest's lawyer called for Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Harold Beeler "to set aside the prenuptial agreement" with the singer because "there was substantial nondisclosure of several material issues."

According to court documents, Minnelli accuses Gest of having tried to "poison" her, while Gest alleges she kept her medical condition a secret until well after they were married and had "unprotected sexual relations."

Minnelli's lawyer, Israel Rubin, insists the court documents should have been sealed: "This whole thing is ridiculous."

I mean, you want to give the best impression on the first date, right? And then, well, it's just kind of awkward that second date. And then, after you're married, you just kind of figure that the window's passed, and now you have to wait until you get him good and drunk, but then you're the alcoholic, so you're usually the drunk one, and wow, that's a toughy.

Indeed. I think the article made me laugh so hard because Gest speaks as though it's not the fact that she's a violent alcoholic with herpes, it's just that she wasn't honest about it.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
