FORMER AIDE SUES GEST
A former aide of DAVID GEST has filed an harassment lawsuit against the music producer after claiming he was humiliated by the star.

CHARLES BEYER alleges Gest, who is currently appearing on British reality TV show I'M A CELEBRITY... GET ME OUT OF HERE!, sexually harassed him.
Beyer has filed legal papers in a Tennessee court in a bid to sue the star for $315,000 (GBP166,000) in damages.
In the documents, Beyer claims, "David made sexual gestures from the beginning and comments such as, 'You have a small penis, I bet,' and he grabbed my butt."
But Gest's lawyer EDDIE BEARMAN has rubbished the lawsuit as a "money making attempt... All the allegations are false. It is a bogus attempt to get money from a celebrity."
Gest's bodyguard IMAD HANDI, also accused by Beyer of inappropriate behaviour, denies the claims and has branded the 35-year-old simply a "groupie".
Handi says, "The guy is basically a groupie who is talking complete gibberish. David is not, and never has been homosexual. He is quite the reverse and loves sleeping with women."
Handi has filed a counter-claim against Beyer for $2.8 million (GBP1.5 million).
