Liz Taylor -- 'Too Devastated' to Comment

Liz Taylor Michael Jackson
TMZ has just heard from Elizabeth Taylor's people who tell us:

"Dame Elizabeth Taylor is too devastated by the passing of her dear friend Michael Jackson to issue a statement at this time."

Taylor, who was a close and dear friend to Jackson for several years, was the one who dubbed him the "King of Pop."

16. Liz could be holding back, due to the fact she maybe an executor to his estate or something more...it is odd that a celeberity friend is summonded to the hospital in the same fashion as a family member. executors have to make big decisions you know...RIP MJ will never be another one like you

17. SORRY ABOUT LAST COMMENT LIZ, THE FULL STATEMENT SHOULD HAVE READ:

TO THOSE WHO SPEAK NEGATIVELY IN THIS HOUR, DO YOU BELIEVE IN "KARMA" OR GOING TO HELL, OR REAP WHAT YOU SOW? WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU? WHAT DO YOU TEACH YOUR KIDS?
TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MICHAEL, JUST REMEMBER HIS SPIRIT, YOU "WILL" GET THRU THIS!
GOD'S GRACE IS OVER YOU ALL!

19. I hope this gets through because I have tried multiple times...all of Michael Jackson's family and friends should join together and support each other and support his children. Then they should start a charity or special fund in his name. They should pray for strength and put his children first.

24. This is the used up old hag that hid the pervert out in a secret location when the cops wanted to talk to him after the molestation charges first came to light...When is she going to do us a favor and croak...

25. her plastic face is melting, too. The freak is dead - now many, many little boys will be safe.

26. Looking at the photo of Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor, one can only assume that the plastic surgeons of the world are also devastated.
Jackson had his song "beat it" but a lot of what I am reading is just a "beat up". Jacksons greatest success was his abilitiy to remain in the headlines even after serious allegations ( unproven but still very suspicious) and failing sales as well as ridiculous behaviour.
It is always sad to hear about someone dying prematurely but lets keep thinsg in context please

27. Thought she was dead and forgotten long ago

28. Always thought that she would go before him. They had a strange relationship like most of his were!

Posted at 12:23AM on Jun 26th 2009 by life is like that

29. I noticed that tonight on Fox News they referred to Michael as dubbing hiself with the name of "King Of Pop' but correct me if Im wrong Didnt Elizabth Taylor give him that name?

I too, thought of you first Ms. Taylor and how the loss of Michael cannot be explained to anyone.Only the ones who know your life,your love and devotion to your family and friends will realise what this means to you.I only hope that your inner stegnth and Michaels spirit will help you and all of his friends and family adjust to this loss in time.BTW I named my own daughter after you and Lauren Becall two of Holloywoods true beauty and graceful ladies with , Sugar Spice and everything wonderful!

30. English born Elizabeth Taylor got the DBE from Queen Elizabeth, so she is a Dame. It is the female equivalent to Sir.
