Elizabeth Taylor died
Congestive heart failure. I hate when that shit happens, heart failure is totally preventable. What a waste.

Didn't see a link about this but I could have missed it.

My favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie of all time is The Flintstones.
Seriously. Especially when she told her daughter Wilma "You can remarry!" with that eight marriage twinkle in her eye.

Well one of her personal photographer of 15 years is a Wisconsinite and because of their death our local news here interviewed him. He was even offered a position as one of her husbands, but he turned that down. They showed off a lot of his beautiful photographs of her here in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG2gT...&feature=feedu

I was pleased to find I could add "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Cleopatra" to my NetFlix Instant Watch queue, so I'll be watching those soon in memory of her.
It ticks me off to learn that Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist jerks are going to stage another homo-haterific protest at her funeral. I understand the recent Supreme Court ruling, but I wish someone could find a way to successfully counter these douchebags.

Her fans could always do a counter protest. I think that would be actually lovely, hundreds of people celebrating her life to outnumber two or three dickheads.

Well, I was pleased to see the media (at least the news reports I was exposed to) refused to cover, show or even acknowledge that any protest happened at all. If that continues to happen, it takes all their power away.

That's such bad taste - when did people lose their graciousness.
Protesting a funeral - come off it guys - don't even start to call yourself religious, you are just sickos.

I heard a rumor that the Hell's Angels will be there to provide a buffer between the mourners and Wasteboro.

Douches fighting with other douches about being douches. Ironic.
