Elizabeth Vargas hosted a “Good Morning America” discussion yesterday about Michael Douglas‘s battle with ex-wife Diandra over his “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps” cash — but failed to mention she dated Douglas before his divorce with Diandra was finalized. Before interviewing two lawyers, a serious-faced Vargas said: “A lot of people were surprised that 10 years after collecting in one of the most expensive divorces in history, taking $45 million home, that an ex-wife can come back and say: ‘I get to have more.’ ” An ABC rep admitted last night, “It was a mistake. It should have been disclosed [to viewers]. Elizabeth did tell her executive producer she had dated Michael, but he made the decision she should host the segment. George [Stephanopoulos] should have done it.” The rep added, “But she did a fair and unbiased job.” A source close to Diandra said, “Elizabeth was involved with Michael before the ink was dry in the divorce — how can she not be biased?”
