There's nothing Broadway loves better than a juicy backstage drama. And Taboo - the musical about '80s rock star Boy George, with music by the grownup Boy, George O?Dowd, and produced by talk-show diva Rosie O'Donnell - offered plenty of fodder. There were cancelled performances, reports of backstage fights, a star who walked out of a rehearsal, a director nearly fired. All that and a producer shuttling between the theater and a Manhattan courthouse, where she was involved in a lawsuit with the former publisher of her defunct magazine, Rosie...
...many Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade float rides through Herald Square with unfashionable earmuffs, chapped lips, fake smile, beauty-pageant wave and a runny nose from the cold is enough to permanently ruin a pop diva’s persona—as I have known no diva to benefit from lip-synching in sub zero Manhattan temperatures while accompanied by nerdy high school band and dance team.

That's what Gest says he wants in a complaint filed last week alleging that the 5-ft. 4-in. diva flew into violent, vodka-fortified rages during their 16-month marriage. Minnelli denied the charges in a statement, saying she had "hoped very much that the end of my marriage would be handled with mutual respect and dignity." No such luck. In the complaint, which leaves one with an unexpected feeling--it could...
