Taylor is being treated at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The rep released a statement that read in part, "Her family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans but have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health."

Taylor is a two-time Oscar winner who is just as well-known for many marriages as she is for her career.

Liz Taylor Rips MJ Doc a New One

Liz Taylor is pissed at Dr. Arnold Klein for blabbing about Michael Jackson's alleged gay affair.

Taylor, who like Klein was extremely close to Jacko, was also a patient of the doc.

Taylor just Twittered, "Dr. Arnie Klein declared on May 2 that he did not betray Michael Jackson by saying publicly that he had a homosexual relationship with someone in Arnie's office.  It seems he supplies not only women (Debbie Rowe), but men too ... how convenient."

Taylor adds this stinger:  "Just what we want in our doctors.  And then to say he did not betray Michael's confidence.  No wonder he has death threats."

Liz Taylor Out Past Her Bedtime

76-year-old Liz Taylor surprised even us by going out to Hyde last night and leaving at the late late hour of 11:15 -- someone wheel granny home!

The posse she was rollin' with was pretty hardcore -- one of the wild bunch even name dropped Judy Garland -- but Liz kept it classy and, unlike most Hyde dwellers, didn't flash her Britney.

Diamonds (and Liz Taylor) Are Forever

It's a miracle Liz Taylor could stand up with all the bling she was rocking outside the Abbey in WeHo on Friday. Oh right, she didn't have to -- the 76-year-old legend was carted out on a wheelchair.

We're told she was at the gay bar as the surprise guest at a family friend's graduation party. Her pooch Daisy was there too; no word if the bitch actually was invited.

In a suit filed Tuesday, Kleos Capital claims Gianni Bozzacchi borrowed the bucks from them and offered pics and negatives of Taylor as collateral - estimating them at, get this, over $4.8 million!

Lawyers claim the photog hasn't paid a single cent on his loan (which after interest is now up to $1.2 million) and now they're going after the collateral.

Those pics of Liz better be compromising - we're just sayin'.
