Despite being sued by her estranged husband David Gest over alleged abuse during their brief but high-profile marriage, entertainer Liza Minnelli is apparently bouncing back.
Although David was credited with helping Liza revive her health, looks and career when they wed 2002, it looks like the Cabaret star, now on her own, hasn't missed a beat.
A radiant Liza stepped out with 49-year-old Hollywood jewellery retailer Yossi Dina to the opening of the Los Angeles Disney Concert Hall last month, and a British newspaper says the longtime friends have become closer ever since. As she strolled up the red carpet with Yossi at the October 27 event, she made it clear that she wasn't bothered by the negative publicity surrounding the lawsuit, saying: "People know me."
And Yossi, who Liza said was helping her cope with the divorce, is obviously fond of the 57-year-old legend. "Liza's one of the best people I've ever met," he says. "She's not only a beautiful person but she's also my best and most wonderful friend. I know I can count on her – and she can count on me for anything."
