Why is David Gest Judging Grease?

Yes, that David Gest.

He's judging, along with David Ian and choreographer Brian Friedman, the UK version of the Grease show, for this summer's English companion production (a revival of the 1993 production).

What the hell does he do?

Better yet, why is Brian Friedman judging? He is a hip hop teacher/choreographer. He's never done a legit show in his life. Ridiculous.

Yankeefan, there was an article on David Gest on MSN (I think) on his new found celebrity in Europe. According to the article, they LOVE him over there. For the life of me, I can't figure out why.

Mister Matt, I totally agree.

Here's the link to the article:

David Gest, was a huge hit on Decembers UK Celebrity Jungle. He was surprisingly entertaining when they could get him to stay awake for longer than five minutes. He showed no fear in the horrid tasks that they set up for everyone. He dropped a couple of stone during the two week show.

It gives me no pleasure to share this information with you. As a huge Liza fan, I knew I was going to hate him, and was prepared to watch with morbid fascination. It was during this time he won(?) me over

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Apparentl,y the loosing Sandy gets to smack David around.
