Looking well after having heart surgery earlier this month, Elizabeth Taylor went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles -- along with two of Michael Jackson's kids, Paris and Prince.

Liz didn't go on any of the rides.

Elizabeth Taylor is going in for heart surgery.
Liz says she's getting a leaky valve repaired, using some sort of clip device. It's not open heart surgery.
The 77-year-old didn't say when the procedure is taking place.
Story developing ...

There were cameras shooting everything at the after-party for Michael Jackson's burial -- and we're told the whole thing could end up on A&E.
Sources tell TMZ footage from inside the party -- as well as the funeral itself -- will be used for an A&E special, plus a DVD at a later date.
Don't expect to see Joe or Katherine Jackson, Michael's three children or Elizabeth Taylor in the footage though -- we're told none of them went to the restaurant after the burial.
A few other random tidbits about the affair: Rat Pack music played all night, "Casablanca" was projected onto the walls, the brothers talked about a reunion tour -- and Janet seemed the most grief stricken of the group.

UPDATE 8:10 PM PT: The Jackson family has arrived -- only an hour and ten minutes late.
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.
UPDATE 8:00 PM PT: The Jackson family has still not arrived ... the service was scheduled to begin an hour ago. Some of the guests arrived around 6:30.
UPDATE: Lisa Marie Presley -- Michael's ex-wife -- just arrived. Corey Feldman is there too.

The star-studded crowd is arriving at Michael Jackson's funeral -- Liz Taylor, Barry Bonds, Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Chris Tucker, Al Sharpton and more...
Meanwhile, the family has still not left their Encino compound.
Does the fashionably late rule apply to a funeral?!

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.

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."

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:

"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.

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."

Made out like a vampy Annie Oakley, Elizabeth Taylor sat upright in her car after having an early dinner at The Abbey in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

The 76-year-old still living legend smiled and waved to fans by her own power as she made her graceful exit.

Watching Dame Elizabeth Taylor get wheeled out of happy hour at WeHo gay bar the Abbey -- with her Maltese named Daisy and one of the bar's waifish waiters -- was one Cher impersonator shy of being the most fabulous thing we've ever seen.

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.

Being confined in a wheelchair won't keep Elizabeth Taylor from happy hour with her gays.
The 76-year-old acting legend and her dog, Daisy, were caught getting wheeled out of WeHo restaurant/bar The Abbey yesterday -- where she was bombarded with questions about random longtime buddy Michael Jackson. Gladiator!

A frail but still beautiful Dame Elizabeth Taylor, 75, blinged away as she was wheeled out of Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Saturday, after a dinner celebrating the launch of her latest line of House of Taylor jewelry. Wear me!
Liz's jewelry line raked in a reported $30 mil last year. In 1997, she had a two-inch tumor removed from her brain, and endured hip and back operations the following year, after which she fell and fractured her spine.

75-year-old living legend Elizabeth Taylor and her 48-year-old goth doppelganger, Robert Smith of The Cure.

Boys don't cry -- or wear tired old women's makeup! The one thing Robert needs a cure from -- dressing like he did in the '80s!
We're just sayin'!

Silver screen legend Elizabeth Taylor celebrated her 75th birthday in Las Vegas last night with a pair of magicians, Princess Leia and a former Sports Illustrated covergirl.
A fur and satin-wrapped, diamond and pearl encrusted Dame Elizabeth was wheeled into her 75th birthday bash at the Ritz Carlton as a press line sang "Happy Birthday" to the beaming superstar. When asked about her love life, Liz was sharp as she shot back, "Wouldn't you like to know?!"
The oh-so-random guest list included Kathy Ireland, Debbie Reynolds (a fellow ex of Eddie Fisher) and daughter Carrie Fisher and Siegfried & Roy. Taylor's friend Michael Jackson was unable to make it to the bash, because he had, per Liz, "business things going on." Asked the secret of living to 75, the much married Oscar winner quipped, "Hangin' in!"

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS -- The two-time Oscar winner will commemorate her birthday by donating a mobile medical unit to the New Orleans AIDS Task Force, her publicist, Dick Guttman, announced Thursday. The medical unit is "like a large recreational vehicle, about 40 feet long, with two examination rooms and x-ray facilities," said Martin Delaney, founding director of Project Inform, a national AIDS organization that helped facilitate Taylor's gift.
The vehicle, manufactured in Ohio, is already in New Orleans, Delaney said. It will be staffed by doctors who worked in AIDS clinics shuttered by Hurricane Katrina.
