    I guess this exonerates the Enquirer!

    • Tess Tickles

      Thought she died 25 years ago. Somebody pull the plug already, she probably smells like rotten sweaty tuna.

      • Zach

        You’re not funny. This is Elizabeth Taylor. If you don’t know who she is, then what are you doing on EW?

      • Hugh Jass

        I agree with Tess tickles, Elizabeth Taylor was relevant in the stone age. EW should just report on real talents like Justin Biever, Miley Montana, and the Jones Brothers.

      • Tara

        That is just rude. Have some respect. If not for her talent, then for another human being.

      • Marianna

        You may think you’re hilarious but you fail at life. In your quest to provoke outrage you forget that your ignorant remarks are directed at a real, living person. Grow up and finally be a person of whom you’re mother can be proud.

      • Alfie Flynn

        You rotten snotty nosed and disrespectful kids. You and your 15 minute celebs. What do you know of GREAT Hollywood stars? Kids!

  • scorpio9094

    Most younger people don’t appreciate the real stars of Hollywood. They’re into the new no talents.

    • Mike Hawk

      I don’t get your monthly newsletter informing me of who is talented and who is not.

  • QueenNana

    God be with you Liz.

  • shar

    A viewer’s age is irrelevant. My 5-year old loves “National Velvet”!

    • Jack

      …and my horse loves 5-year-olds!

  • lovebug68

    Liz Taylor is what a movie star should be. I love her and always have. She was the most beautiful woman -probably of all time…perfection! And, she was talented to boot. Her fierce loyalty to her friends and she never suffered fools – makes her a great dame. I hope she gets better…Liz and Maureen O’Hara are the last of a golden time.

    • Rufus Leaking

      Golden time? More like boredom time, they didn’t have sex tapes like most real celebrities.

    • juanita

      I have alwaysthought Liz is so beautiful. i have kept up with her career througb the years. god bless you and i do trust that you are feeling better.

  • cheryl H.

    Hugh Jass (name appropriate) You have GOT to be kidding! To compare Liz Taylor to those 3 “flash in the pans” you mentioned is reprehensible at best! You don’t even know their real names, Miley Montana and the Jones Brothers????? PULEEZE! Grow-up and read a little bit of history about Liz Taylor before you make such ludicrous comments about a true star you know NOTHING about. You give a bad name to the younger generation and really show your ignorance with your preposterous statements!

    • Hugh Jass

      How am I supposed to found out about her if she doesn’t have a facebook page or a verified Twitter account. She must not be famous like the Kardashigan sisters.

    • Emily

      As awful as his statements have been, I’m pretty sure Hugh is just trolling. I doubt anyone who has even the slightest idea of who Liz Taylor is would ever compare her to Miley or the Biebs.

    • Zach

      Hugh was obviously joking – making a pointed statement

    • L.T.

      @ cheryl H. Hugh Jass is being cynical! go with it!

    • L.T.

      H Jass purposely misspelled the names of the young ones. Appreciate the irony ok?

    • MsDaisy

      I think it’s called sarcasm sweetie. Take a chill pill.

  • Flux Capacitor

    Didn’t this old nutbag die already?

  • HaterHater

    God Bless You Elizabeth And ALL You HATERs!!! Your Pathetic. The World Will NEVER Change With People Like YOU In It!

  • Hubby McLovin

    This old wench is so pitiful she had to marry 47 different guys and still couldn’t find one that could stand the sight of her. Maybe she just liked to get around like a tramp.

    • Marianna

      You’re just bitter because you were one of her rejects. Says more about you than it does about her when even a trampy old wench won’t have you.

      • Mike Hunstinks

        Or she was rejected by everyone who saw her sans pants

  • Cherie

    Liz Taylor is a great icon. I’m 30 and I can appreciate her for the movies, her beauty (both outside, and as it seems from press & costars, inside). The wretched comments I see here reminds me that many people are truly just unhappy people who like to spread their misery. Plus, I’m also reminded that prison inmates & psych patients also (sadly) still get internet time while locked up. Wish EW would monitor their comment sections & delete these disturbing rants…and the spam. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to read the comments anymore. :/

    • Jane

      Amen, Cherie! Like you, I’m young (31) but still know of her and admore her for her beauty, talent, and tireless work for AIDS. I esp. loved your comment re. these pigs on here who feel the need to spread their hate. I agree, EW should delete those comments when they’re particularly offensive. Elizabeth Taylor was and IS one of the most beautiful people on earth, inside AND out. She suffered a lot of tragedy and heartbreak in her life, but always rose above it. She was way ahead of her time when she began her activism for AIDS. She won 2 Oscars, and from what i’ve read seems to be a very compassionate, loving person. So, to all the idiot haters out there, I ask- what have YOU done with your life that will ever, could ever, come close to what Elizabeth Taylor has achieved?

    • Sanity

      Yes yes yes because inmates and mentally challenged people aren’t as good as Cleopatra. We should kill them and perhaps their families.

  • Le HIROSHI

    Ms Taylor,

    SVP.

    Bon retablissement to you (vous), madame.

    TO ALL WHO ARE WISHING HER WELL,

    - -

    There is no benefit at all to address people with ill intent and hateful comments (trolls); IMO, the best of all – be it, to ignore them. SVP.

  • ia

    My prayers are with you, Ms. ELIZABETH TAYLOR.

  • Classy

    God please bless Elizabeth Taylor. I pray she has a smooth recovery with as little discomfort as possible. I appreciate and respect her place amongst Hollywood royalty and her influence in the entertainment industry. Such a beautiful, beautiful woman.

    • Greta Life

      Yes! This slut has slurped on more dongs than the entire porn industry. And she encouraged Michael Jackson to slurp young boys. And she has butt implants. And she is why 9/11 happened. Nobody likes America because of this whore. Allegedly

      • cheryl H.

        Just think if people said these things about your mom or sister or your Grandma! Just please have a little respect for a great actress!

  • Frank Blackwood

    We all wish Miss Taylor a speedy recovery..
