Diva Liza Minnelli is planning to marry again – and she’s showing off a 3.5-carat diamond ring as dazzling as her new romance.
Minnelli, 55, is said to be as “excited as a schoolgirl” after falling head over heels for showman David Gest.
Looking refreshed after a trip to a tony Fifth Avenue beauty salon, Minnelli flashed a smile as she told The Post of her engagement before being whisked away in a red SUV.
“I’m so happy, darling,” Liza-with-a-Zing purred while proudly holding up her new diamond.
For Minnelli, who has lost 30 pounds since undergoing hip and back surgery in March, the love union will be her fourth marriage.
Gest is a big-time producer who orchestrated Michael Jackson’s tribute gig at Madison Square Garden in September.
Like Minnelli, who sang the Jackson number “You are Not Alone” at the concert, Gest is a close pal of Jacko’s.
Minnelli is so excited about the planned nuptials that she couldn’t help sharing her news with fellow customers and staff while having a makeover at the John Barrett beauty salon on Wednesday evening.
She told stunned customers she wanted to get married at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and would like a wedding gown with a train “a mile long.”
“She was just so over-the-moon,” one customer said. “She was pulling her robe off her shoulders, showing us how her wedding dress would look.”
During her 90-minute visit to the salon, at the Bergdorf Goodman store, Minnelli also confided that she wanted to adopt four children with Gest.
Minnelli was divorced from sculptor Mark Gero in 1992 after a 13-year marriage.
Her first marriage was to Australian singer and songwriter Peter Allen in 1967, but they split seven years later.
She immediately married filmmaker Jack Haley, but was divorced five years later.
