Elizabeth Taylor Death - According to American tabloid the National Enquirer, the ailing 78-year-old Hollywood legend is fighting for her life after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital by ambulance.Taylor began suffering from intense abdominal pain, Tuesday, Feb. 8, and doctors suspect she is bleeding internally.The paper's columnist Cindy Adams said :'The heart's gone out of her.'Taylor was packing to fly to Britain for Jackson's dates at the O2 Arena when she was told that he had died.She was already in a frail condition, confined to a wheelchair and with nurses in attendance, and is said to have begun screaming when she heard the news.Taylor rose to fame in an age when stars images were handled by the iron hand of the studio system's publicity machine. Now she is sending out statements of her hospitalization in 160 character bursts. While we applaud Taylor for keeping up with technology enough to twitter (or at least savvy enough to hire someone to do it for her), that the old guard has fallen under its sway means that we are going to be stuck with oversharing celebrities assaulting us with their private thoughts and personal details until the end of time.CELEBS .
