Reality TV star, David Gest, a former husband of Liza Minnelli was found dead Tuesday at a London hotel. Gest's friend Imad Handi confirmed his death, remembering Gest as "a natural star and a genuine celebrity." Handi said he was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon. Gest and Minnelli married in 2002, at a celebrity-studded ceremony with Michael Jackson as best man and Elizabeth Taylor as maid of honor. They separated in 2003, with Gest accusing his wife of beating him.
