Elizabeth Taylor Will Not Be Part Of The "Public Whoopla"

Tomorrow morning, the Staples Center in Los Angeles will be filled with thousands of people for Michael Jackson's memorial, but his bestest friend Elizabeth Taylor won't be there. Liz Twittered this afternoon that she didn't want to be a part of it. I loved that she used the word "whoopla." And I bet she says it the same way she says maaaaariage.

You know, it makes sense that Liz isn't going to show up. I think the memorial is more for the fans. It's bordering on a "public whoopla," but we'll see tomorrow. However, if there's a red carpet and Giuliana DePandasAss from E! is asking all the celebwhores who they are wearing, I'm throwing my TV out the window and sending Joe Jackson the bill!

The memorial will be televised on most major networks at 10am Pacific. So far, the list of performers and speakers include: Usher, Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, John Mayer, Rev. Al Sharpton, Shaheen Jafargholi (from Britain's Got Talent), Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson and Brooke Shields.

I'd also bet my life's savings that pile Perez would sell his momma to get a wristband from someone going and paint his fat head the brightest pink we've seen yet. Sell. His. Mamma.

Wonder if John Mayer's going to rock the sweet MJ moves he was bustin' outside that club a while back?

Snowy, it's HOOPLA...you were right.

And do it, Liz...don't tell us about it. Mourn in private...don't brag about it.

Word, Elizabeth! Public displays of grief are vulgar.

No matter how far the main entrance, no matter how much the security, no matter what the crowd crush....there had better be a Phoebe Price. Bobby Trendy and "Speidi" are a given. Quween in a security outfit would be a plus.

Wait I'm more astonished with Liz "twittering" or "tweeting" than the statement itself.

Great!
Now Elizabeth Taylor is twittering?! Isn't she supposed to be in a wheelchair and a coma brought on by abusing pills?
Besides, if you don't want to do something, wouldn't you just—not do it?
Shes purposefully bringing attention to herself by talking about it.
Just let it go woman!

The memorial will be televised???? OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I'll watch Spongebob instead. Mrs Puff makes more sense than a televised memorial for a pop singer.

Well, I agree with her. I think it's absolutely disgusting, the way he's become a saint, and the way everyone's glomming on to his death.

John MAYER? Really? What the fuck does HE have to do with Michael Jackson?
