Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor died this morning of congestive heart failure at age 79, according to the Associated Press:
“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love,” her son, Michael Wilding, said in a statement.
“We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.”
Wilding and Taylor’s three other children were with her. She is also survived buy 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
May we take comfort in knowing that, statistically, at least one of her eight husbands has to be waiting for her on the other side along with her dear, dear friend Michael Jackson. Oh, how she used to bring him such beautiful children to play with. Fresh-faced and innocent. “Whatever does he do with them all?” she’d whimsically wonder while lighting up a room of passionate activists, like herself, fighting disease and hunger.
Rest in Peace, Elizabeth. Your legacy lives on.

One of the most beautiful women to ever grace the planet. RIP x
Rip
I was hoping to be husband number 31.
Richard Burton once said being married to Elizabeth Taylor was like having a one night stand every night.
There is no greater compliment.
Yeah they were something else to watch! And reunited again///
That’s because she asked him his name every time they fucked.
LMFAO. @vito, that was funny as hell.
Just dropped in to comment about her marriage to Richard Burton — technically Fish got it wrong, she only had SEVEN husbands, although she was married eight times. She married Richard Burton twice, and once said that if he had lived (he passed away in the 1980s), they may have married a third time. He was the love of her life, which means something coming from a woman whose full name was Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky. Truly a legend! The world feels a little less glamourous with her passing.
What a sexy, talented, classy lady. R.I.P.
What you say is true because in those times because they didn’t have surgery like today. True Beauty. R.I.P
Is RIP means RETURN IF POSSIBLE…coz as whatabsurdfiction said the world feels a little less glamorous when she passed.
hahahahaha just kidding guyz…yah ryt i miss her already she’s kim k idol and so am i…i remember weeping in her movie cleopatra…
Love this one…
This may sound like blasphemy, but she reminds me of a more beautiful Megan Fox here…
And more natural, I might add.
I was gonna say the same. but in looks only and probably from this pose alone.
black hair and blue eyes *is* dynamite :))
despite your hilarious sense of humour superficial writer you always are really nice and respectful when someone passes so why today did you decide to change that and be a dick by having a dig at michael jackson. FOR SHAME
Seriously? Fish has never been respectful in a death post. Hell, at least this one he made a joke about someone else instead of the person who died.
Beva, you took the words right out of my mouth. Totally unnecessary, completely unfunny, and the poor fool apparently missed the “not guilty” verdict on all 14 counts.
RIP, Elizabeth. It’s a sad day for us, but I’ll bet Michael has the super soakers ready! Bless you both.
Yeah I heard OJ Simpson was also not guilty.
P.S. Also everything that is on wikipedia is also true so don’t bother to ask yourself if it could be false.
Because Michael Jackson liked little boys too much?
RIP beautiful movie queen.
I forgive you for helping get a really dumb man elected to the Senate to represent my state.
He had great hair so it was an honest mistake on your part.
What ur in va too? how’d i miss that..
RIP
Her first husband was Paris Hilton’s grandfather.
That explains this line then… ” buy 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren”.
I’m bummin cuz she was my birthday buddy. RIP Elizabeth.
(And ya, I’ve noticed that lately, the RIP posts aren’t as respectful as they used to be. What’s up with that?)
When have they ever been respectful?
Did I miss something?
Those are real.
And they’re spectacular. RIP.
Smokin’ hot.
really? the michael jackson comment. really?
Hope that there’s a huge bucket of fried chicken waiting for her.
She was sure beautiful
She was as beautiful an actress as Hollywood has ever seen.
Absolutely agree. Nowadays the big screen “beauties” are… Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz! WHAT has happened to beauty ideals?
In Cameron’s defense (I can’t believe I just typed that) she was crazy hot when she first burst onto the Hollywood scene in The Mask.
She was breathtaking in her prime – watch the original (as in GOOD) version of “Father of the Bride”. Not only do you get Spencer Tracy and a great overall cast – but you get an 18-year old Elizabeth Taylor who just made you go YUMMY every time she was onscreen.
Sooo hot in that movie.
Stunning well into her 40s, love this shot
i would still fuck her at 79
Now is your chance–she’ll never put up less of a fight.
I LOL’d so hard at that !!!
RIP beautiful lady.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
RIP – You were beautiful to the end, a talented actress, and a little nutty (but endearingly so). You will be missed.
beautiful woman, inside and out. what a shame.
Elizabeth Taylor, seen here peeking out of a racoon’s mouth, passed away this week.
This is brilliant, Maplewood. Funniest comment all week.
I’m with Beva. Usually your totally unmerciful posts are unbelievably funny, this one, mmmm, not really. I think it doesn’t work because she isn’t the usual famewhore with not much of a career otherwise. She was truly naturally gorgeous, an amazing actress (two Best Actress Oscars–SUCK IT MERYL!) and a humanitarian–spent most of her later life supporting AIDS charities in memory of her close friend Rock Hudson. MJ is about the 37th thing most people would think about when she comes to mind.
And besides, you should be hailing her as the woman who kept most of your gossip hound predecessors employed from the fifties through the eighties!!
Yeah, the joke was a little off the mark. But I’m with Fish on this character flaw. Hell, the first thing I knew about her growing up was she was some old lady who was friends with Michael Jackson. The hotness was only revealed later in life.
I found Fish’s perspective very funny. And true. Maybe it was funny because it’s true.
Elizabeth Taylor didn’t fully commit to her portrayal of the Egyptian Cleopatra, as seen here with only half her hair done in Stevie Wonder braids.
Oh and IMO her best movie (and Paul Newman’s!) is Cat On a Hot Roof. So hot. By the end of it you will want to bang either one of them or both, no matter what team you’re on!!
Little Known Fact: Elizabeth Taylor was an honorary Crip.
Little Known Fact: Elizabeth Taylor was the first star to simultaneously expose her breasts while yelling at the paparazzi for photographing them.
lol nice
I tell people all the time not to get old, do they listen to me no. Treat me like a jerk. The post fight make up sex was legendary about liz R.I.P.
Pity.
Women like that should never even age, let alone die.
She could take a dump anywhere. And she did!
Maybe her lesbian trysts will now be given light. She was a ravenous carpet muncher, but the press hid this for decades.
Photos or it didn’t happen.
A real legend of Hollywood and Artist who gave too much for the Show-Biz, a fighter of Aids a Woman with an incomparable beauty her panache her persona
it feels so sad cos nowadyas there aren’t artists as cool as her and many others who have passed away
I’d say, “good riddance to the damn whore”, but they say the marriages she destroyed weren’t about, or done through sex. So, “adios, you home wreckin’, frigid, pederast enabler.” And John Belushi’s classic skit on SNL of fatso Liz Taylor eating the chicken leg was HILARIOUS!
Debbie, is that you?
Even Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher issued statements about how talented she was and that she’ll be missed, so calm the fuck down. Plus, have you seen those diamonds Richard Burton gave her? If that’s what home wrecking gets you, sign me up.
She was a great linebacker with the NY Giants. She will be missed.
A man, you are think of the great linebacker lawerence taylor. This is Elizabeth Taylor.
I’ve never seen any of her movies.. but I know of her from my mother’s constant BLAH BLAH Liz Taylor BLAH BLAH.
May your eternal sleep be a peaceful one Liz. And don’t be stealing anyone’s husbands up there in heaven!
finally we caught that bitch!
THANK YOU! i was wondering how long it would be until someone reminded us that this chick was bff with a child molester. this whole pretty-lady-died jerk off festival was starting to bum me out.
She also founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, which has raised over $100million for HIV/AIDS research. She was incredibly active in raising awareness of this disease in an era when it was still taboo to discuss, not seen as a disease that affects humans but a plight that junkies and homosexuals brought upon themselves. The last three decades of her life were spent primarily as an activist, not an actress. She wasn’t just a pretty face. Her association with Michael Jackson really does not define who she was as a person, so chill the eff out.
Q: Hey, you know why scientists haven’t found a cure for AIDS??
A: they can’t get the lab rats to butt-fuck!
finally we caught that bitch!
.
she was a class act, and here torrid affair and marriage with Richard Burton is still Hollywood legend – Rest in Peace lovely lady
I believe she was much more than just the friend of a psycho pop singer/children molester, but I might be wrong…
She made men marry her before they got the Goods. Take note ladies.
(then wad them up, toss them out and come on over…topless)
Finally! A hit in my deal pool!
Oh, and RIP Lizzy. Hopefully, your friend Zsa Zsa will be meeting your for tea real soon. :)
Had it not been for an early divorce Zsa Zsa would have been her mother-in-law
Very true, dude.
Fraked up thing about this, She actually managed to OUTLIVE Michael Jackson. I always thought she would die before him and he would host some huge memorial.
…and invite all the childrens to stay a few days at Uncle Michael’s ranch…
LOL!
I never met the woman. I have no idea what she was like.
But when she was between the ages of say 20 and 45, I’d have gladly spent as much naked time with her as possible. As a physical specimen she was spectacular – and she exuded true sex appeal. You knew that she wasn’t a tease – she was built for action, and skilled at it.
I wish her RIP, as I do anyone passing that I don’t know – but I can’t comment on her as a human being. Just superficially…
So…you find her a worthy addition to your spank bank. Check.
I totally get it now.
It’s a little hypocritical that when famous women die, we’re always deluged with photos of them from their young, hot, sexy days…not their old, fat, and wrinkled ones.
It’s almost like even in death, when we honor the last memory of the departed, we still want to remind everyone that they only had value to us when they looked good.
Wow, and I thought McFeely was just another pretty face with a biting sense of humor! Then McFeely up and posts something that is intelligent, well thought out and factual! Kudos for hitting the nail on the head, McFeely!
Question: how is it *hypocritical*???
I wouldn’t say hypocritical, I would say sexist to some extent. Having said that, the appeal of Elizabeth Taylor for decades was her natural beauty and even though per physical beauty faded over the past decade or two, upon her death people want to remember her as she was when she was at her peak. Similar to hwo people remember Elvis. Most remember him as the young, slim handsome man in his black leather pants and jacket during his comeback show. Some, for reasons unknown, hold on to the memory of Fat Elvis.
One thing I think we cana gree on however, is that Hollywood has lost one of it’s lasting and endearing icons.
That was an awesome comment, but if I were Liz Taylor, I’d want people to remember me as smoking hot. When I die I want my pictures from when I was 25 at the funeral!!
Dante, I say “hypocritical” because we’re supposedly celebrating the womans entire life…not just her young hot days, but we only dig out photos of her young hot days.
But screw that nonsense anyway, as MILF said, I want people to remember me as young and sexy, not old and fat. In fact, I want my face pasted onto Ryan Reynolds body…and then Patrick Dempsey’s face pasted over mine.
McFeely yeah, I get it now. Sorry about that. Honestly though, if I were Liz Taylor I’d want everyone to forget the last 25 years of my life too lol.
Thanks for posting the young photos of her and reminding me what a total babe she was. Picts #1, 3, and 5 are just awesome.
So. Effing. Cute.
