In kitchen with Ted, Martha
FYI to Jane Fonda: The next time your ex is in town, get him to whip up an iceberg lettuce salad with homemade buttermilk blue cheese dressing. Yes, our fave bison baron Ted Turner got an on-air cooking lesson on “The Martha Stewart Show” this week when he appeared with the domestic diva to promote the NYC debut of Ted’s Montana Grill.
Turner flipped some bison burgers for Stewart, and she instructed Turner on how to glamorize the crisper drawer staple.
The ex-Time Warner board member boasted to Stewart that the Whole Foods in Manhattan’s Time Warner building now stocks Ted’s Montana brand chili. Said the CNN founder: “They can’t get rid of me completely!”

In retrospect, we’re now happy that we didn’t stand that close to David Gest after taking the record producer up on that invitation to join him in an Atlanta recording studio last year.
This week, New York Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon dismissed Liza Minnelli’s ex’s $10 million lawsuit against the singer. Solomon tossed the case after Gest couldn’t prove that his ongoing headaches came as a result of alleged abuse by Minnelli. (Meanwhile, the couple’s divorce case continues to wind through court.)
The judge ruled that Gest’s “severe, unrelenting” headaches were actually caused by a case of herpes.
“I am totally shocked and stunned,” Gest said via a statement.
