Damned Liza

While we're feeling generous, can we maybe shed a tear for Liza Minelli? Judy Garland's daughter is now in the same zone as her friend Michael Jackson.

A new low after the allegations from top wearing-shades-inside-and-being-a-little-light-in-the-loafers-celebrity-husband David Gest. But still, can an addled, demented chanteuse get a break?
