His Best Friend, Elizabeth Taylor On Michael's Death

Filed under: Michael Jackson > Sad Sad > Elizabeth Taylor

wenn1658432.jpg

Elizabeth Taylor has revealed her grief toward the passing of her longtime friend, Michael Jackson.

She says, "My heart … my mind are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together."

Taylor was even planning to attend his live concert comeback, "I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It can't be so."

She continued that Michael "will live in my heart forever, but it's not enough. My life feels so empty."

"I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest, most giving love I've ever known. Oh God! I'm going to miss him. I can't yet imagine life with out him. I guess with God’s help … I'll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, 'To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.' And, I will love HIM forever," Taylor said of their special relationship.

So sad!

    One BIG STAR from her generation commenting on another BIG STAR from a later generation. What else would you expect her to say, especially since she's in the late 70's ? She'd be the first to go, you'd think ? I wonder if Michael was on drugs………..we'll find out shortly, won't we. Prescription drugs, or something equally as dangerous.



  2. 2

    First! What a sweet lady its really sad how he had such an impact on everyones lives weather you hate him or love him he will be missed.

  15. 15

    this makes me so sad. truly feel for her, for his family for every fan. no matter what mistakes he made, what kind of person he was- he achieved a lot. i applaud him- no i bow down before him. hope you're free mj, wherever you are.



  21. 21

    Guess what Perez? YOU'RE STILL FAT AND HATED BY THE GAY COMMUNITY!



  22. 22

    Guess what, Perez?

    YOU'RE A FAT FUCK!

    Re: VI Lenin – LOL



  25. 25

    .
    That's sweet, you could tell there was a bond between them.



  26. 26

    OMG, THAT IS SO DEPRESSING. THEY WERE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS FOR SO LONG. AND I GUESS IN EACH OTHER, THEY PROBABLY DID SEE SO MUCH OF THEMSELF…THEY BOTH LEAD LIVES FOCUSED ON BY THE PUBLIC, AND BOTH TRIED TO YET REMAIN SO PRIVATE. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HER AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY….LUV AND MISS U MICHAEL!!!



  27. 27

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww:(



  28. 28

    Why the fuck are you even posting anything related to Michael Jackson? You were a TOTAL ASS for even writing what you did before confirmation of Michael's death came out? I hope one day you get what you deserve. A punch in the eye isn't enough for your stupid ass!



  29. 29

    Re: Cali40 – You look like a COUGAR - ARE YOU ?



  30. 30

    Re: Hilton Perez – shut up! you TOTALLY just made that up . get a life.



  31. 31

    P.S.S> It's surprising that La Liz still allows herself to be photographed. Great Glamour Stars don't usually go for this……….but then with AmFAR and all of that, I guess she's "more open and accepting" of her advanced age. She still looks good for her age………."The Glamourous Elizabeth Taylor".

    It was a month after Michal Jackson song Thriller came out to the world. Living on the Nature Island of the Caribbean Dominica, I was only 10 years old that morning when my younger sister went to the nearby dump to throw garbage when she stumble on this large box . she brought home the box and when we opened it under the supervision of our mother , We found Gold. It was filled with all kinds of Michael Jackson memorabilia from key rings to stickers,posters and books etc.. and the box had only one Michael Jackson Red Jacket. This Red Jacket became a prized possession in this Caribbean Island since no one else had one. We called it the 36 zipper Jacket. In those days people made their own Jacket*copycats and put in their 36 zips but we had an original Michael Jackson Jacket which made us the envy of the town.My mother shared all the Michael Jackson jackpot among us equally but the Jacket we had to take turns and I happen to get the first turn since I had to go to a school fair. My younger sister who found it was enraged and became jealous ,since it was her find. So my mother took the jacket and hide it to halt a war between her kids in her house . Up to this date I never know what become of this Red Michael Jackson original 36 zipper jacket.



  33. 33

    Finally, someone who truly cared about Michael. She was too upset to speak yesterday and today, she speaks from her heart. It's not a "statement" it's the pure raw emotion of a friend losing a loved one.

    Perez, you are a scumbag. This is the only thing worth reading on your pathetic piece of dog shit called a site. You aren't fit to lick MJ's boots!

    In fact, you aren't fit to lick the space between Courtney Love's dirty toes!



  34. 34

    I take this opportunity to share my deepest sympathy with Michael s Children, Family, Friends and Fans. May his passing remind Politicians and others that we are not here forever and therefore we are to share love , love and more love to each other so that our world will be healed and become a better place. Rest in peace Michael and may the perpetual light of Jehovah be with you.
    In the name of the Father , Son and Spirit Amen.



  35. 35

    She's still got her amazing eyes…..

    36

    How can Perez Hilton attack Ms. California for "gay bashing" when Mario himself is so filled with obvious self-loathing and hatred for others.

    It doesn't make sense!

    Mario/Perez can believe and print ANYTHING and the rest of the world is supposed to bow to his beliefs?

    Donald Trump was an IDIOT for having you on that panel of judges and will.I.am was wrong for NOT beating the crap out of you.

  37. SNTEX says – reply to this


    37

    Mario-Perez-Hilton is a has been. His 15 minutes are coming to an end.



  38. 38

    You are so fucked up Perez for the shit you said about MJ! Now you have erased your blog because you know you were wrong! You fat ass sissy! Who the fuck are you to decide when someone is faking their death, you stupid son of a bitch, my bad! You are the bitch! MJ might not have meant shit to you, but I grew up listening to him and watching moonwalk! Cant nobody judge Michael, but God! I dont think youre god! By the way, you gay muthaphucka, if you can judge Michael read the bible and see what it says about being gay! Now you have a nice day!



  39. 39

    from all the tributes this one has made my cry the most. they seemed to be able to be themselves around each other. no matter what. we have to remember the good and bad in people. I just hope his kids are going to be taken care of. they have gone thru sooooo much already. God rest his soul and make him finally at peace.



  40. 40

    when i first read perez original post yesterday then i found out michael had died i was pissed at perez but today i thought if you would've asked anyone what they had to say about micheal last week the majority of people wouldn't have positive things to say



  41. 41

    I had a dream last week Tuesday in which i saw a famous man in one of the Caribbean island on a bed. All i was hearing some girls saying he died of a heart attack.When i looked on the bed . The man was on his legs and hands but dead ON A BED WITH RED LOOKING AND BURGUNDY LOOKING SHEET with his eyes open wide. The morning following the dream i called my adopted mother, who is also a psychic to ask her to help me unrevealed my dream. She told me someone famous is indeed going to die but she cannot tell me but its not the man i saw in my dream.TEN DAYS LATER I REALIZED THAT ITS MICHAEL JACKSON.



  42. 42

    OMG
    EVERYONE GET OVER WHAT PEREZ ORIGINALLY POSTED
    NO ONE CARES
    HE WAS ALIVE AT THE TIME SO IT WASNT INSENSITIVE TO WRITE BECAUSE AT THAT TIME NO ONE KNEW THE DETAILS



  43. 43

    Re: Fperezdotcom – yOU ARE A LOSER ,A FAKE AND WORST THAN YOUR ACCUSER. tAKE OUT THE MOTE IN YOUR EYES MR.



  44. 44

    How dare you fatass son of a bitch talk about MJ! You are a very fucked up individual to have said what you did yesterday! Who the fuck are you to judge Michael Jackson and you aint even what you suppose to be! If you can judge MJ, read the bible and see what it say about being gay, you fuckin sissy! Mike dont mean shit to you but damn if he dont to me! I grew up listening to Mike and watchig Moonwalk! He's the reason why alot of entertainers are who they are today! No matter what he did,and who he was,Only GOD can judge this man! He will always be a legend especially in the african american community! So Perez, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TALK WHAT THE FUCK YOU KNOW you dumb ass son of a bitch!

  47. 47

    Wow people are so cold. She just loved her bestfriend no strings attached.



  48. 48

    I feel completely for Liz! My heart goes out to her, and anyone who would make fun of someone in old age while grieving is a soul less jerk, I'm an asshole I'll admit that but not a huge one while I'll tease someone about there looks while they just lost a loved one. and I would never ever speak ill of the dead, (except hilter) it's disrespectful and tasteless.



  49. 49

    that is so sweet of her, now we have elizabeth's & brooke's comments we are now only waiting for diana's outside of the family. MJ FAN FOREVAH AND ALWAYS !



  50. 50

    So sad? but Perez you said he was faking member or did you forget and was hoping that nobody saw what you wrote well it doesn't matter people that don't come to your web site now know cause Opie and Anthony read it on the air. Dude just give it up you are digging yourself deeper and deeper and when you lose the law suit against the Black Eyed Peas and you will cause you are going to get nailed with harassment and slander i betcha it's only going to get worse and do you think you have a future in Hollywood cause who is going to hire you everyone hates you and another thing why haven't you put up the pictures of Miley Cyrus and her director hmmmmmmm? why is it cause you kiss her ass now or you can't call her slutty Cyrus anymore cause you know people will be on you for attacking a young girl



  51. 51

    You were a GREAT spiritual guide to him…..PLEASE remember this.

    Maybe you can sell off some of the awful jewels in the pic here and put in a trust fund for a full college education for his kids. Who know how long the legal battles will last.

    Thank-you for being so kind to a kind soul. xxxoooo



  52. 52

    Re: *Crystal* – fuck you perez and fuck you too crystal



  53. 53

    One additional comment for Lizabeth. You are a beautiful human being, this pic with you drapped in tacky jewels is awful. Please don't let the press use this again. It creates the opposite image of who you really are.



  54. 54

    Re: *Crystal* – OMG…no. We won't forget.



  55. 55

    Are you serious? This sounds like a whole lot of crap! Michael Jackson was a wierdo and so is Elizabeth Taylor!!!!!! Lame!!!!!



  56. 56

    Re: Cali40 – i say ur far from that ! wow, you must be an upstanding citizen to make fun of a little old woman as she grieves. Well, laid off the tanning hun because when you go to hell ur orange is gonna go red!



  57. 57

    My heart breaks for her more than the fans, she was loyal to the end. Poor thing.



  58. 58

    Re: *Crystal* – really because it was written 15 mins before? you're a dumb ! perez knew he fucked up because why is the post gone? answer that ! if wasn't wrong shouldn't the post be up.



  59. 59

    I agree with Haagan daas. I did like Perez too, but after he said BULLS&%$ about Michael faking it i was like he does deserve to get his a$$ kicked



  60. 60

    ******PEREZ REMOVED MY EARLIER POST*******
    OK PEREZ YOU CAN TRASH ANY CELEBRITY AND THEIR CHILDREN AND I SAY SOMETHING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSONS NOSE AND IT GETS REMOVED>
    NOT HALF AS BAD AS THE SHIT YOU SAY!
    THAT IS THE KIND OF BITCH PEREZ IS!!!!!!!



  61. 61

    Let me be the one..

    "Hey Liz… Why So Serious???"

    Anybody who doesn't agree that Michael could have envisioned this as a publicity stunt is ignorant. He learned to act injured for the publicity FROM Elizabeth Taylor. (Butterfield 8 - Academy Awards - google it).



  62. 62

    Re: pinkhotluv – Yeah Im so sick and tired of the two fugly tranny hateful whore's on here; CALI40 and KARENKSKI.

    Re: The DOUCHEess
    Did you repair that hole in your wall?



  65. 65

    It's too bad this old bitch hasn't kicked the bucket yet. Perhaps Michael Jackson's physician can do us another favor and snuff this spent piece of used white trash for us.



  66. 66

    Re: WebWiseWoman – YOU are the one who keeps reading his site, if you want him out of your life then stop reading it. You should really take the "Wise" out of your screen name because you most definitely are NOT.

But i meanseriously why don't you go arrest the guy! IS IT A CRIME what he did? What about everyone mourning MJ right now who actually called him JAcko the wacko, why dont you go persecute them?



  69. 69

    Re: SNTEX – Excuse me i think you are posting a comment in the wrong place! Is it me or this is a place to leave a comment about liz' taylor's friendship with MJ?



  70. 70

  74. 74

  75. 75

    Jackson and Liz had a falling out several years ago . i don't think they were even friends anymore.



  76. 76

    i guess Liz is loing her memory…

    Jacko And Liz Taylor Have A Terrible Falling-Out

    Roger Friedman of FOXNEWS.COM reports that Michael Jackson was a no-show at the posh Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles where Elizabeth Taylor celebrated her birthday. “The talk all night was that they’d had a terrible falling-out,” says a source. “It seems that Michael had summoned Liz to Neverland, but when she arrived he wasn’t there. She’s furious.” 2003



  77. 77

    God, the people who hate Perez here and post the same thing shit attacking over and over again are even MORE annoying than Perez himself. Go dig a hole and bury yourselves in it. No one cares what you think and yet people keep reading his stuff. Le gasp! Get over it..



  78. 78

    NOW SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TAKEN SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE DEATH. I LOVE AND MISS YOU REALLY BAD MICHEAL.



  79. 79

    Such a heart breaking moment poor Liz!

    I still don't understand why people who "hate" this site keep comming here just to bash it! Go waist your life somewere else! Everyone keeps talking shit about what happned a few days ago….Are you serious? You have never called someone a name before?!?!?!? I am only 25 years old and i have been called much worse names than that! Get over it go somewere else!



  81. 81

    perez i think its kinda funny that you keep posting how sad all of this is when you were the one who accused him of having cold feet about his tour when he first went into the hospital and then removed the post! changed your tune huh?

  82. PHARO says – reply to this

  83. 83

    Wow some of these comments are so fitting , the best one is referring you as a douchebag.
    From one Gay man to another you fucking idiot you are a disgrace to the Gay community or any community in this world. Your a shallow vicious Queen and yes the name fits you well and I won't use the one you seem to like to call str8 people when you get upset at them. You sounded so pathetic when you did the blog on Black Eye Peas. And wow your a real douche bag when you don't know when to lay low and shut up and turn around and attack the King of Pop with your slanderous thoughts on Michael Jackson's fake death SHAME SHAME and your day will come when your a washed up nobody and hopefully it will happen sooner than later. You were a nasty piece of work because we all know your going in the shitter sooner than you realize. I hope you like some of the adjectives that I or others are using , they are so fitting for a douchebag babbler such as yourself . And your blog caption should be re phrased CELEBRITY JUICE NOT FROM CONCENTRATED BUT MORE FROM THE SHIT HOLE or the DOUCHE which is where you belong FLUSHHHHHHHH you will be gone in the next week I hope. FLUSHHHHHHH hopeufully enough will BITCH ABOUT YOU THAT YOU WILL GO INTO THE LOOINIE TOON HOSPITAL.



  84. 84

    why in the world is every star making it about themselves. It's all like, Michael loved me, Michael loved me…look at me look at me.

    Okay. It's not about you guys right now - it's about his life.



  85. 85

    Re: Jimo
    LMAO @ 'Perez needs to go away'. Are you mentally retarded or just exceptionally stupid? It's his site, so where the hell is he supposed to go moron. Please, do us all a favour and you go away!



  86. 86

    Re: Hilton Perez
    Okay we get it…are you done already? It's getting really boring and annoying hearing the same crap from cretins like you. Go pick your nose, or do something else useful to waste your time and not ours.



  87. 87

    F**K YOU PEREZ…….. YOU ARE AN ASSHOL\E!!!!!!!! YOU LOSER



  88. 88

    Re: VI Lenin
    Are those the best insults you can come up with? Terribly lame and sadly unoriginal. The odds are pretty good that you are offending at least 60% of the people reading this site since statistically that is the percentage of the overweight/obese population. So really, what was the point of your posts other than to make yourself sound stupid?



  89. 89

    Re: WebWiseWoman
    I strongly suggest you check your grammar before posting, especially when you're trying to insult someone, as it just makes you look like theREALLY dumb shit that you most obviously are. How ingenious of you to tell Perez to get out of 'or' lives…lol! What is this web-site you're posting on called again? Oh yeah, PEREZHILTON.com….does that alone not tell you something, idiot!



  90. 90

    Re: FperezdotcomRe: Fperezdotcom
    Oh come on now, why don't you tell us how you really feel about Perez…lol! Your making it sound like Perez kicked your puppy, when all he really did was make a sarcastic comment (albeit with REALLY bad timing) about a celebrity. Were you by chance Michael Jackson's stalker? This fixation and hatred of Perez about this is very unhealthy, go seek some professional help!



  91. 91

    Re: Just!ce – comment # 37
    You took the time to upload an avatar to your profile (of dirty laundry??, VERY strange) so clearly you are or were a regular reader. Since you claim that this MJ post is the only thing worth reading on this site, I take it you will no longer be visiting or commenting….I didn't think so.

  92. bpeel says – reply to this


    92

    stop acting like you care! you should apologize first and then you might be able to get away with this stuff!



  93. 93

    Poor Elizabeth Taylor… I feel like she's being honest, unlike a looooot of h-wood celebs who are now PRAISING michael jackson when in fact, a couple of years ago, they were trashing or completely ignoring him. May his soul rest in peace and God forgive him.



  94. 94

    some people are really STUPID. Including you, PERVez.. EVERYONE: look what asshole perez posted earlier. This is the PROOF that this guy's a scumbag: globalgrind.com/content/776574/LONG-LIVE-THE-KING-MJ-BYE-BYE-THE-QUEEN-PEREZ/
