Oh dear. What was it parents used to tell kids; if don't have anything nice to day, don't say anything at all?

Alright, so we're all been guilty of jumping onto the first bit of celeb gossip but I must say the warning bells about Elizabeth Taylor is somewhat disturbing. Why is that the few times people mention Hollywood legends, it is to wonder if she/he is ill or dead?

I'm sure they are leading quite an active lifestyle and not sitting around waiting for a black robed figure armed with a farming equipment.

If she is seriously ill, I'm sure her publicist will issue a press release. In the meantime, do remember that the lady has got a lot going on, if only to mention her work as an Aids activist. Yea, that's right, the modern stars didn't invent charity work but that is the attention span of celeb world.  After all, a few evenings explaining significance of Star Wars 4, 5 and 6 (in vain, I might add) to snotty little cousins can bring out the cynic in anyone.

I found a fun interview about her by Bruce Weber which will be a delight for any Elizabeth Taylor fan.
