Liz Taylor saw an advanced screening of the Michael Jackson docu-film "This Is It" last night -- and to say she liked it could be the biggest understatement of all time.
Taylor went to Twitter just moments ago where the star of such Hollywood classics like "Cleopatra," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and a ton of other iconic films wrote the following statement about "This Is It":
"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen."
Liz continued, "I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again."
UPDATE: Taylor is blasting Tweet after Tweet ... she just referred to Michael as a "modern day prophet."

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 ...

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."

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.

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.

A bank is claiming Liz Taylor's longtime photographer (anyone who's anyone has one!) took out a loan for $500k and is refusing to pay up.
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'.

They say a fashion trend is officially dead when your grandmother adopts the look. Perhaps hip-hop is finally dead ... but not 75-year-old Liz Taylor! Yo!
The original train wreck and bling blinger, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, was seen lumbering down the stairs from a private jet returning from Hawaii, and the eight-times-married legend was wearing an Ed Hardy cap and enough gold chains and crucifixes to make even Fiddy jealous.
The purple-eyed icon needed some help down the steps, but walked down on her own power, managing not to break a hip, just be hip. Hip-hop is dead. Long live Liz!
