Taylor in hospital over Jacko

LOS ANGELES – Elizabeth Taylor has been hospitalised amid reports she is struggling to cope with Michael Jackson’s death.

The 77-year-old – who was one of the late pop star’s closest friends – was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital from her Beverly Hills home on Tuesday after reportedly being left weak and exhausted from the grief of losing the musician.’Not to add aggravation onto the Jacksons, but the source of her condition is simple – the heart’s gone out of her,’ said New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, who is a friend of Taylor’s.’She’s suffering weakness, tiredness, exhaustion and is emotionally drained. She hasn’t stopped crying. She and Michael were devoted to one another.’Taylor had been getting ready to fly to London to attend the opening of the singer’s This Is It residency at The O2 arena – which was due to open on Monday – when she was told he had died from a suspected cardiac arrest last month.The frail screen legend – who uses a wheelchair because of scoliosis, which causes abnormal curving of the spine – began screaming when she heard the news and has been inconsolable since.Although she has been hospitalised, Taylor had previously revealed she would be going to a medical centre for some tests.’I wanted you my friends to know that I’m going into the hospital Wednesday or Thursday to complete a test I was in the middle of,’ she wrote on her Twitter page.- bangshowbiz.com
