Liza Minnelli insists she has no regrets about marrying promoter David Gest - even though the union was "a circus event."

The singer/actress tells pal Liz Smith - the new contributing editor of Parade magazine - she will never marry again, but she'd never take back any of her past marriages. That includes her brief union with Gest, which ended in a messy divorce and claims she physically abused her ex.

Of her decision to wed Gest, Minnelli says, "Darling, I was recovering from brain encephalitis!" And the star admits married life with her is not easy: "I just don't think it's fair. It's too hard on any man to be married to a woman like me... a famous woman, with all that goes with it."

"No matter how successful the man is, it's hard for him to take. And maybe it's politically incorrect to say, but I get it. I'm not going to refuse that autograph. I'm not going to deny that photographer. I certainly won't stop touring. It's too hard on any man."
