There's A Gest Trying To Get Into The Winehouse

Thing is, that's both the setup and the punchline. Producer, plastic surgery victim, and Minnelli ex David Gest is slanted and enchanted by the lush-ous Amy Winehouse. But it's what he wants to do to her upon introduction that's particularly icky. Via the estimable Tittle-Tattle:

Liza Minnelli's ex-husband, who is currently dating English soap actress Malandra Burrows, confesses he's infatuated with the Rehab singer and loves her wild style.

He says, "I would kiss the mole on Amy Winehouse's face and every tattoo on her body, and I'd stick my tongue in the gap where her tooth is missing.

"I love her."

Creepy, desperate, denial -- the choice of descriptor is yours. But they would make a damn cute couple!

having david gest get a plastic surgery scar-straining woody over you is probably the most effective intervention imaginable. you've shot past icon to punchline! abort!

Why do I get the feeling that he might just be speaking her language?

I like how you make a tag for david gest, as if his name will come up again, or better yet, someone will search for him.

I totally posted about David Gest once before. When the Liza & David VH1 pilot ended up on MySpace or something. He's nuts.

Does everyone know what a "soursplash" is? It's when you kind of throw up in your mouth a little bit, but it feels like a really strong burp.

Just helping everyone describe the natural reaction to that piece. And the visual accompaniment just seals it.

It's always been called a 'virp' where I come from. And I definitely just did it.

Not to be pedantic or anything, but that's a 'monroe' piercing, not a mole.

Anyway, Winehouse doesn't sing like she looks, and Gest, uhh... doesn't look like Mr. Potato Head without the hat, glasses or mustache. Not a bit.

if theres not two people who deserve each other more...

well, maybe pamela anderson and kid rock getting back together may rival this one, but thats neither here nor there...

mole or piercing, either way its gross. i dont get why anyone would want that nasty ass piercing.

and her singing is almost as scary as her looks. almost.

I have a very vivid imagination. And reading those quotes, while looking at those pictures....just.....I mean......it's too early. I think my brain is starting to shut down a little bit out of self preservation.

Perhaps he was referring to the mole on her butt face.

Seriously. Can't something be done about this guy? There should be some king of formal law which allows total censorship of this man.
