Elizabeth Taylor has been hospitalized with what sources are calling a broken heart.

The New York Post is reporting that Liz, 77, a longtime, devout friend of Michael Jackson’s, hasn’t been dealing very well with the death of her good friend.

Apparently at the time of Jackson’s death Liz was preparing to go to London where she was going to enjoy herself and catch her friend’s first performance. She was in her usual wheelchair, accompanied by her dog(s) and nurses when she heard the devastating news of Michael’s death.

She did not take the news lightly. She screamed out in grief. Poor Liz, she has lost many people in her life, but she and Michael had a bond that lasted many, many years. And like Jackson, she has also struggled with drug problems. I recall the gossip rags of the early 80s constantly targeting her for being drunk or stuffed on pills. Every week it was Liz who was on the cover. My grandma ordered every single gossip rag there was back then. Where do you think my fascination with celebrities began?

We also hearing that the Jackson clan refused to invite Taylor to the private memorial service because she was Jackson’s friend – “not theirs.”

Liz is reportedly fatigued, depressed and has been constantly crying, missing her friend.

During Farrah Fawcett’s battle with cancer, her best friend Alana Stewart has been there with her every step of the way.

Stewart has accompanied her friend to Germany multiple times and has been a constant during Farrah’s illness. It was even Stewart’s idea that Farrah begin filming her doctor visits in order to remember everything the doctor had said. The footage led to the making of a 2-hour documentary, “Farrah’s Story” which airs Friday night on NBC, May 15th at 9:00 p.m.

The women met in the 70’s and have continued a lifelong relationship since then. Alana was married to George Hamilton from 1972-1975 and then to rocker Rod Stewart from 1979-1984. She had two children with Rod, Kimberly Stewart and Sean Stewart. You’ve probably heard of them.

Alana recently opened up to Entertainment Tonight about her best friend, updating us on her condition and proudly telling of Farrah’s courage. She says throughout treatment Farrah has been fortunate enough to have kept her hair. Until recently, that is.

“I think it was surprising because she’d gone through almost two years of treatment without losing it. Then when she did start to lose it, it was very surprising in the beginning and then shocking. Then she kind of joked about it. I mean she took it like she did everything else. She took it in her stride.”

Alana confirms that Farrah is NOT aware that Redmond is in jail.

“She was so happy to see him I think it just gave her new inner strength. She’s using all her strength to battle cancer. There’s no reason that she should know that her son is in jail. She thinks he’s in rehab.”

As for Farrah’s state of mind, Alana says it is healthy. Farrah is trying to remain strong and is determined to beat the disease.

“She has talked about dying. She’s said many times ‘all I want to know is if I have two months left to live that the doctors tell me because I need to know. There’s a lot of things I need to do.’ So far no one’s told her that.”

“She hasn’t cried a lot. There’s times during these last two years where she has broken down and cried, and then she’ll say, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry I don’t mean to be a baby.’ And I’ve said, ‘baby, are you kidding? I couldn’t go through one tenth of what you’ve gone through.’ And I’ve said to her, ‘you’re the most amazing, the strongest person I’ve ever known,’ And she is.”

Mickey is so rad with his pups. They are treated like royalty and pampered incessantly – as they should be! You can bet that little guy is eating it up. Isn’t he adorable? He sort of looks like Yoda!

In my next life I want to be one of his dogs!

Enjoy your last 30 seconds of fame, Brittany Flickinger, Paris Hilton is tiring of you.

Paris brought her MTV reality show BFF to Sundance with her but with the way things are going, she might be leaving without her.

Paris’ sister Nicky is also in town, but doesn’t want to hang out with Paris because she can’t stand Brittany. Maybe Nicky’s way of thinking is rubbing off on her sister because Paris ditched her BFF in a club and left with Danity Kane former singer Aubrey O’Day.

A source told the New York Post, “Paris kept ditching Brittany for Aubrey.”   On Friday night, the women left Brittany at the Eldridge and headed over to Tao to party without the reality clinger on.

Once Flickinger caught up with the blonde bimbos she was hysterical. “She was crying and screaming, ‘Paris, stop leaving me!’ ” dished the source.

For their first performance together since the devastating Learjet crash in which they were the only survivors, Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) will reunite for a show on New Years Eve.

The two friends are headlining New Year’s Nation’s Los Angeles New Year’s Eve Party at The Lot in West Hollywood.

In case you can’t make it, you can watch the streaming performance online. It will also be shown at numerous other New Year’s parties across the country.

I bet those two will have the time of their life that night. You can’t help but be inspired by those guys. And I think they are the perfect ones to ring in the new year!

If anyone attends you MUST email me photos!

Britney Spears started work on her new video segment that will appear at the beginning of every show in Madonna’s upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.

Shooting for the short movie started yesterday in WeHo where Britney arrived at about 9am and remained for a most of the day. Sources say she was very professional and courteous.

The film itself sounds pretty whacked – but that’s Britney, I guess. It’s described as Britney entering an elevator wearing a gray hoodie that hides most of her face. She is obviously anxious and fidgety. The elevator goes up and so does Britney’s anxiety level. She begins pacing frantically. Her mania continues to build until she is violently kicking and hitting the walls. Then she pulls her hoodie down and screams into the camera… can you guess …?

“It’s Britney, bitch.”

Is that it?

Oooh…ahhh!

Whatever. Don’t you think Britney would want to move on from that f*cked up time in her life? Sounds like they have her bouncing off of rubber walls!
