Liz Taylor Avoiding Jackson Memorial 'Whoopla'

The guest list for tomorrow's Michael Jackson Staples Center memorial is pretty prestigious -- but one person who definitely won't be there: Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

Elizabeth Taylor Twitter
Taylor just wrote on her Twitter: "I've been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla.
And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word. I just don't believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event. I said I wouldn't go to the Staples Center and I certainly don't want to become a part of it. I love him too much."

And, for the record, she also writes she's "not on suicide watch."

5. Dr Murray is a murderer, he would have sold his soul to the devil for the amout of money he was getting paid monthly
( $150.00)
Having said that, he would have given MJ anything he wanted, including the lethal dosage of medication he gave him the night he died. I believe this quack doctor, thought that if anything went wrong, he would be able to take control. Didnt happen and as result MJ died. Dr Murray needs to be arrest!

Wise choice there, Dame Noncoherence.
