Just came over the news here as well.

Very sad, I adored this woman. I don't think she ever got the credit she deserved for her talent simply because she was so stunningly beautiful and many or most never saw past that.

And for all her wealth, fame, and success - she went through the sh!t (pardon my French) many times over in her personal life and came through it all like a trooper. Her grace and compassion for others never seemed to waver.

RIP, La Liz, you shall be both mourned and missed.

Sad as this day is for Taylor fans, it gets worse. The attention whores from Westboro Baptist Church plan to attend her funeral as well.

Quote:
The Westboro Baptist Church announced that it planned to picket the funeral of Oscar-winning actress and anti-AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor after she died Wednesday at age 79.

The Westboro Baptist Church has become infamous for picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers and carrying signs that state "God hates fags." In typical fashion Margie J. Phelps, daughter of the church's leader Fred Phelps, said Taylor "joined Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger in hell."
Gee Margie, you're such a class act.

When the day comes, I wouldn't be surprised if WBC hasn't prepared some secret funeral and grave site for Fred the Founder. They must know by now that turnabout is fair play.

WTF? Are these people sick or what.
FAIL!
And not to derail the thread out of respect to Liz Taylor but, why in the world does she think Liz is going to hell?
If anyone is going to hell it should be her, (Margie) along with the rest of her imbecilic good-for-nothings!
