NEW YORK (AP) -- David Gest, the estranged husband of Liza Minnelli, wants a judge to set aside his prenuptial agreement with the star, the latest development in their lengthy divorce battle.

Gest's lawyers told State Supreme Court Judge Harold B. Beeler on Friday that Minnelli hid the fact that she was infected with herpes, was an alcoholic and prone to violence. Had Gest known, the lawyers argued, he never would have entered into the prenuptial agreement.

Minnelli and Gest married March 16, 2002, at a celebrity-studded ceremony with Michael Jackson as best man and Elizabeth Taylor as maid of honor. They separated in July 2003 and filed for divorce later that year.

Most recently, Minnelli argued in court papers that Gest and her former bodyguard, who claims she forced him to have sex with her to keep his job, joined forces to attack and embarrass her publicly. She claimed the bodyguard, M'Hammed Soumayah, 56, breached a confidentiality agreement by giving Gest information about her.
