As we mentioned before, Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first to see her late friend Michael Jackson's final performances in This Is It.

The legendary actress took to her Twitter to let her followers know how impressed she was by the film.

Dame Elizabeth Tweeted:

I was honored with the great privilege of seeing "This Is It" last week. I was sworn to secrecy, but now I can let you know about it.

It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity.

To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality.

I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again.

And we have this piece of film to remind us forever and ever that once there was such a man. God kissed him.

God blessed him and squandered nothing, but loved it all. Michael knew how to put together every tone, every nuance to make magic.

To say he was a genius seems so little. I wish my vocabulary encompassed what I feel.

You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize it and say to yourselves, "I saw genius in my lifetime"

I loved genius in my lifetime. God was so good to me. I will love Michael forever and so will you, if you don't already.

I hope I don't sound condescending. I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about, but go to see it again and again.

I meant to repeat myself. I love you. I remember Michael loved you. He was totally up to now and the message of today in all his songs.

If you listen to his lyrics they are those of a modern day prophet and it beseeches us to listen to him and what he sang.

I won't use words like preaching because that is off-putting, but listen. Listen to his messages.

From "Black And White", "Man In The Mirror". The inspiration behind "We Are The World". We must take his words of responsibility seriously.

We cannot let his life be in vain / and always done with love. Remember that. Remember him and thank God for him and his genius.

Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage.

From A to Z you get Michael's input on every level. Michael's genius at work with the dancers. Mr. Ortega catches Michael in his every mood

You see in front of your eyes Michael's genius blossoming on this piece of film thanks to Kenny Ortega and his crews.

I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable.

Wow! She sure loves to tweet!

We're glad Elizabeth was able to enjoy the film and we're sure many others will too.

Are U getting excited for This Is It???

As one of Michael Jackson's dearest and closest friends, Elizabeth Taylor was among the few in attendance to watch an advanced screening of the upcoming film This Is It.

Liz hosted the private screening at MGM and invited her boyfriend Jason Winters, her son and his wife, as well as Marlon Brando's son and MJ's former assistant. In fact Jackson's entire staff was at the screening.

By the end of the film, Elizabeth led a standing ovation and announced that "the film was pure genius and the most magnificent film."

Not long now before it's released to the rest of us!

Do U have your ticket?

Elizabeth Taylor is quite technologically savvy for her age, as well as concerned for her health.

According to her Twitter, the legendary actress is checking into the hospital to undergo a heart procedure.

She Tweets:

"Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart.

It's very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better.

Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I'll let you know when it's all over. Love you, Elizabeth"

We'll be thinking of her!

Although Michael Jackson and Madonna were pop royalty in the early 90's and seemed like they'd make the perfect couple, Jackson was so not into her!

According to taped conversations recorded by Jackson's longtime friend, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Jackson even believed Her Madgesty was in love with him!!

"I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her," Jackson is heard saying on the tapes. "She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common."

But did the late King of Pop at least find Madge somewhat attractive?

Said MJ: "She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes from the heart in the way you present yourself."

Harsh!

Jackson also goes onto say that he believed Madonna was jealous of his fame because he received "the fainting and adulation" from fans, which Madge "never had."

MJ tells Rabbi Shmuley on the tapes that Princess Diana and Elizabeth Taylor were more his type, but feared a relationship with Taylor would create a "circus" of a media frenzy because of their 27-year age gap.

Can U even imagine???

Dame Elizabeth Taylor made a rare public appearance on Thursday night at the Macy's fundraiser fashion show for AIDS in Santa Monica.

This was Taylor's first public appearance since MJ's funeral, and although Dame Liz is confined to a wheelchair due to the curvature in her spine, Taylor was looking absolutely radiant.

She didn't say all too much, but Taylor joked with the crowd, telling them, "I would have married Richard Burton a third time."

Cute.

Liz helped organize the Macy's Passport HIV/AIDS foundation, which has raised over $28 million dollars for AIDS research, care and education over the past 27 years.

Inspiring!

After attending Michael Jackson's funeral service at the Great Mausoleum in Los Angeles' Forest Lawn cemetery, Elizabeth Taylor is now said to be looking for a plot next to the late pop superstar.

A source says: "After sitting through Michael's funeral service at the Great Mausoleum, with its magnificent stained-glass windows and replicas of Michelangelo's artworks, she later told friends, 'I felt a sense of peace there that I've never experienced before.' "

Taylor and Jackson were very dear friends and Liz says of their friendship:

"I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. He will live in my heart forever but it's not enough. My life feels so empty. I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. It was the purest, most giving love I've ever known."

Very sweet sentiments, Elizabeth, but we hope you have many happy, healthy years ahead of you!

Scandalous!

Two weeks after accepting the position of Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray received a call from another familiar face.

The one and only Elizabeth Taylor!!!!!

Rev. Floyd Williams, a close friend of Dr. Murray, told FOXNews that he was around when the call came through to Murray's Houston office.

“I was sitting right there with him when the telephone rang, and I’ll tell you we were in the middle of talking about him going on tour (with Jackson),” said the Reverend. “Miss Elizabeth Taylor said to Murray, 'I understand that you’re going to be Michael’s personal physician in London?'"

When Murray confirmed the information, Elizabeth asked if the doctor would perform the same duties for her while she was in London.

He obliged her offer.

Taylor's publicist, Dick Gutman, however, has denied the accusations stating, "This is [Taylor's] personal statement to you: 'It's a blank blank blank lie.'"

We'll see!

Michael Jackson had very few friends, but it seems that one of his closest may have played a crucial part in his addiction.

According to an explosive new report from The Daily Beast, Elizabeth Taylor had a role in his early dependencies, as the star introduced Jackson to dermatologist Arnold Klein.

When Jackson began seeing Dr. Klein, Taylor was battling her own presciption drug and alcohol problem. She was seeing several doctors, one allegedly being Klein, to prescribe drugs such as Ativan, a tranquilizer, and Dilaudid, a powerful opiate dubbed "the Bentley of heroin."

This was around the time Michael began using the same pain and sleeping pills as Taylor.

Due to treatment for alleged vitiligo (which causes depigmentation and patchiness in the skin) and residual pain from his 1984 accident in which his hair caught on fire while shooting a Pepsi ad, Dr. Klein reportedly provided Jackson with drugs to ease the inflictions, which began to snowball into full-fledged addiction.

Jackson was twice warned by confidantes that his relationship with Taylor was dangerous because she fed his dependencies. Taylor was said to never encouraged Michael to get clean because she faced the same struggles.

During each confrontation Michael would abruptly cut off any discussion.

Taylor and Jackson were not only patients of Dr. Klein but close friends!!!!!

When Liz celebrated her birthday in 1999 at Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel, Klein was one of only six people invited.

The trio still socialized until recently.

Just a few months ago, Jackson visited Dr. Klein's Beverly Hills office two or three times a week, staying anywhere from 30 minutes to five hours. The only other person that Jackson regularly visited was Elizabeth Taylor. He reportedly saw her four to five times a week for hours at a time.

A Los Angeles Police rep will not confirm or deny whether Arnold Klein is one of the five physicians being investigated in the death of Michael Jackson.

Sad. Sad. Sad.
