Elizabeth Taylor Tweets on Jackson's Death

Elizabeth Taylor -- who initially was "too devastated" to comment on the passing of her dear friend Michael Jackson -- has just released a statement via her Twitter account:

Michael & Elizabeth
"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. 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. He 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 without him. But 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 is the one who gave Jackson his royal title, The King of Pop.

46. All of Ms. Taylor's comments, I concur with completely, concerning how much Michael was loved, and how will we go on without him, which of course, we must find a way. So often we don't realize how much a person means to us, how much they have influenced us, until they are no longer with us. Michael, for those of us who truly loved you and realized your incomparable talent and beautiful spirit, know that you will always live in our hearts.

47. Michael Jacksion never molested anyone. He was a strange misunderstood artist that never wanted to let go of a childhood he never really had. People are the problem here. They took advantage of him (including his family) and mocked him because he was different . He was an easy target for parents of these children that he only did nice things for. The kids idolized Michael, the parents saw dollar signs. Its the perants of these kids that Michael supossedly molested thst are the real criminals. Brain wash your kids for money. Nice. Who settles for $ if thier kids are molested? Woukd you? Think about it. Couple that with an irrisponsible media michine and its no wonder the poor guy was in so much turmoil in his life. Who could deal with that?

So all you judgemental jackassas out there, its the good people in the world that get the short end if the stick. And its the idiots with no clue that people listen to because thet is more interesting that the truth or admitting that you can't think on your own.

Hmmm...

48. If you don't have anything nice to say, about someone that can't defend himself any longer, then please don't waist your negative energy, and keep you malicious comments to yourself. It is people like you, that have made a man look bad, who was a giving and loving man. Maybe he had a childish nature, but he had the right to be who he wanted to be. Did he truly hurt anyone...how do you know? Where you there? (You would probably accuse your father of the same, if you knew you could get money out of him. The jealousy is in you words!!) A beautiful man has entered a new stage, and we should remember him with Respect, Honar and Graditude. All the good things he has done need not be forgotten. For he was nailed to the cross, and we did not help him off. He did not judge us, but showed his true forgiveness, because he loved everyone!!!!! Love you Michael...and Thank you!!!!!! You will be missed!!!!!

49. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME you sat down at a meal with Michael Jackson or Elizabeth Taylor and got to know them as the person they are rather than a celeb blasted over the media waves? If you don't personally know them how dare you think you have the right to say such horrific things about total strangers. Are you that miserable in your own life? Would you like having total strangers make up lies about you again and again and again? If so, then rock on. If not, then take a look in the mirror!

50. Ms. Taylor your are not along in your feeling for Micheal Jackson. He will truly be missed. Alot of us did not have his autograhped picture but we had and have his music in our hearts. I am greatful that while he lived he had someone he could call a friend. Some of the comments I've read here comfirmed the fact that this is truly a dowright mean country.

53. Gm7999 you`re green with jealousy! Michael Jackson accomplished a lot in his short 50 year life...and when he was alive he couldn`t give a crap about what people like you think.

54. I have loved and admired Elizabeth Taylor for more than 50 years. I loved her beauty,her incredible talent,but most of all her loyalty and kindness to her friends. When she is your friend,she is your friend for life.I was never lucky enough to meet her,but the show business friends I have known all love her.Here is a woman that has been in the spotlight for over 65 years and is a true surviver. She has helped so many over the years. When Rock Hudson was dying of aids ,who was at his home every day
giving him comfort. After his death she formed The Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation which has raised millions for aids research. I could go on all night with examples of her kindness and loyalty. This woman is Mother Courage. She has survived a broken back,dozens of painful surgeries ,not the least being one to remove a brain tumor and she still never fails to give love and support to her good friends. And to all the idiots out there making unkind statements about her such as calling her an old bag,etc Let me say this.I hope if you ever manage to live to her age which is 77, that you look back on your miserable life wondering why you are all alone with NO FRIENDS.
Yes, she loved Michael Jackson. She loved his childlike quality and his love of children. He made her laugh, they shared a true unconditional love for each other. She said they had a lot in common.Yes they did, they both were extremely talented,They brought much joy to so many people. I believe the one common thread they shared was love and kindness. Elizabeth, I love you. You will always be beautiful to me. Your outer beauty may have faded, but your inner beauty will still shine through for all of us that know and love you.

55. To everyone:
Keep yout vile opinions to yourself. MJ was never convicted of any crime. As with any celebrity, many settle matters out of court, just because the cost of litigation even a frivolous law suit cost MONEY. STFU!!!

57. I hope that the family finds some kind of PEACE, but his father, big joke, Joe, is the one that SCREWED up this young singer soooo bad, and now look where JOE'S being a father led him. He was never a kid, and that he missed to the dayhe died. He knew how to LOVE his own kids, cuz he never got that LOVE from his so-called father. Joe is a CRIPPLE in the MIND, and relies on OTHERS to MAKE MONEY off of.... that is his decayed type of LIFE...
Dame Elizebeth, your pain is felt by all of us who LOVED his music, and his dancing. Because none of us had the privilege of having him as a FRIEND....

60. Elizabeth has lost a dear friend who truly loved and cared for our little ones. Knowing that they are subjected to such violence in this world of ours was his way of counteracting against this problem. In Michaels name I am now going to write the non-violent stories our children are looking for and hopefully Elizabeth and Michael,this gentle soul ,can find some peace.
