Elizabeth Taylor Hospitalized

Elizabeth Taylor has been left so exhausted following the sudden — and unexpected — death of her close pal Michael Jackson, she has checked into hospital.




The Hollywood legend was admitted to an LA hospital from her Beverly Hills home Monday.

The New York Post’s Cindy Adams reports:

ELIZABETH Taylor is in an LA hospital. Brought there yesterday from her Beverly Hills home. Not to add aggravation onto the Jacksons, but the source of her condition is simply: The heart’s gone out of her. As I’ve reported repeatedly, in a wheelchair, nurses in attendance, she was on the way to his London opening. Then he died, and she began screaming. Then the Jackson family denied her access to their funeral pews and barred her from the events because she was Michael’s friend, not theirs. She’s suffering weakness, tiredness, exhaustion, emotional draining. She hasn’t stopped crying. She and Michael were devoted to one another.

Taylor, 77, missed Jacko’s memorial last Tuesday, insisting she wanted to grieve in private.

“I’ve been asked to speak at the Staples Center,” she wrote on her Twitter page. “I cannot be part of the public whoopla. And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word.”

“I just don’t believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us,” she added. “Not a public event.”
