As you may recall, we learned late last year that Lindsay Lohan has been named as the new celebrity spokesmodel for JAG Jeans. We learned last week that she has been named as the new celebrity spokesmodel for FCUK‘s new fragrance Fringe. Today … we learn that Lindsay is being considered for the role of — get this — Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime TV movie titled Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story. Now, before y’all get all riled up about this casting … let’s remember that she is merely being CONSIDERED for the role. But, if she plays her cards right (heaven help us), Lindsay could feasibly get the role. HMMM.

Oh, Michael Jackson, I think the world is just now starting to get used to the idea of you having left the mortal world. With the drama of your death somewhat behind us with the trial over, we can now remember the loss that occurred when you died. Cirque du Soleil is going to be bringing the King of Pop’s music to LA in their “Immortal World Tour” but before that he will be immortalized in a hand and foot ceremony at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on the 26th of January.

Last week the world lost the legendary, iconic actress and humanitarian Elizabeth Taylor and this week People magazine is paying homage to her memory by putting her beautiful face on the cover of their new issue. As far as tributes go, People magazine always tends to do these things very well … so this is an issue that you Elizabeth Taylor fans might want to pick up.

The late Elizabeth Taylor, a legend to the very end, was laid to rest yesterday just one day after she passed away at the age of 79. Per instructions left by Taylor herself, her body did not arrive at yesterday’s funeral services until 15 minutes after the start time … so that she could be fashionably late to her own funeral. How fabulous is she?

Yesterday the world awoke to the sad news that Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor passed away due to heart failure and today we learn that she will be laid to rest today. According to the beliefs of her religion (she converted to Judaism in 1959), Taylor‘s funeral and burial will take place later today.

It is with a sad and very heavy heart that I pass along the news that the iconic Elizabeth Taylor has died. Taylor, who has been hospitalized for the past few weeks due to a heart condition, passed away peacefully at Cedars-Sinai Hospital earlier today at the age of 79. It goes without saying that a great light in the world has gone out today … a light that can never be replaced and will never, ever be forgotten.

Elizabeth Taylor, Hollywood legend and BFF to the late Michael Jackson, posted a long series of tweets on her official Twitter profile heaping enormous amounts of praise on the documentary/concert film Michael Jackson’s This Is It which opens worldwide TONIGHT at midnight. @DameElizabeth, as she is known on Twitter, reveals that she was able to see the movie last week but was “sworn to secrecy” until now. Here is the chronological series of tweets that Taylor posted to her Twitter account yesterday concerning This Is It:

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! Talk about a ringing endorsement! While it’s plainly obvs that Ms. Taylor doesn’t really get the constraints of adhering to the 140 character limit of messages on Twitter, she really has a lot to say about this film. As if a movie of this magnitude needed any more hype, I’m sure that Taylor‘s love of the film will do much to inspire latecomers to see this film while they still can (remember, Michael Jackson’s This Is It is scheduled to show in theaters for 2 weeks only). Intense hyperbole aside (“It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen”), I think Taylor‘s tweets will get even more people to venture out to see this film. A group of friends and I will be seeing the film at 9pm tonight but if YOU would like to watch a live webcast of the film’s red carpet premiere, you can do so at 7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT online! After the jump, find out all the deets …

Here are a few fun photos of Michael Jackson‘s eldest children Prince Michael Joseph and Paris Michael Katherine along with their nanny Grace Rwaramba, the illustrious Elizabeth Taylor and various Jackson cousins enjoying a night of fun at Universal Studios Horror Nights in Studio City, CA last night. I presume that Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket was there last night as well but he is not featured in any of the photos … behold:

Not only is it great to see the kids spending time with Liz Taylor (who MJ loved dearly in life) but it’s pretty fantastic to see Liz out and about so soon after her recent hospitalization. That woman is amazing … so wonderful to see her out and about. Obvs, she did not ride any of the rides with the kiddies but she was there to share the night with them … something I’m sure MJ appreciated very much wherever in the ethos he is right now. MJ‘s kids may enjoy a happy Hallowe’en after all, despite their painful loss. It really looks like they have a great support system taking care of them … let’s just hope the exploitative people who have access to them are kept at bay. Don’t they all look great?

200 of the late Michael Jackson‘s family and closest friends convened at the Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA last night to pay their last respects to MJ at a small funeral/burial service exactly 70 days after he passed away on June 25. For the most part, the service was fairly quiet (even tho some of it was broadcast live on TV and all of it was filmed for possible inclusion in the upcoming A&E reality TV series The Jackson Family) and provided family and friends the opportunity to say their final farewells to the King of Pop:

Michael Jackson’s family and about 200 of their closest friends gathered on a hill Thursday evening for their final farewell to the pop singer, who died 10 weeks ago. Jackson’s burial may lay to rest some of the mystery and controversy that erupted with his sudden death on June 25. His large family was divided over where the superstar’s final resting place should be, but matriarch Katherine Jackson settled on a crypt inside the well-guarded and ornate Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, California. Thursday’s service began 90 minutes past the announced start time, leaving dozens of celebrities — including Elizabeth Taylor — waiting in their seats for the 26 cars carrying the Jackson clan to arrive. It began with Jackson’s five brothers — each wearing a single sequined glove — carrying his flower-covered bronze casket onto the outdoor stage among six large bouquets of white lilies and white roses, along with green topiaries. His three children, led by daughter, Paris, 11, placed a crown atop their father’s coffin, which a family spokesman said it was “to signify the final resting place of the King of Pop.” Jackson’s children, parents and siblings took their seats in the front row, while his nieces and nephews filled several rows of white chairs behind them.

After an opening prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith, soul music legend Gladys Knight sang the gospel hymn “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.” Clifton Davis sang “Never Can Say Goodbye,” a hit he wrote for The Jackson 5 — the group that featured a young Michael and his brothers. What was said by Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, and others who took the lectern is not publicly known, because the family barred news cameras from the ceremony. A family statement issued afterward said close friends and family, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, spoke “spontaneously to celebrate Michael’s life.” News helicopters hovering above captured video from a distance, but without sound. Lisa Marie Presley, one of Jackson’s former wives and the daughter of Elvis, attended the service, according to the family statement. It did not mention Debbie Rowe, Jackson’s second wife and the mother of his two oldest children. Macaulay Culkin, the “Home Alone” actor who spent time with Jackson during his Neverland Ranch days, was there with his girlfriend, actress Mila Kunis. Actors Corey Feldman and Chris Tucker were also seen arriving for the service. Motown founder Berry Gordy, who gave Jackson and his brothers their first big record deal, and Quincy Jones, who produced Jackson’s “Thriller” album, were there. Music producer Teddy Riley, who helped with Jackson’s 1991 “Dangerous” album, attended. The guest list included TV executive Suzanne de Passe, who produced a miniseries about Jackson’s family, and Kenny Ortega, who was producing Jackson’s comeback show. Thomas Mesereau, the lawyer who successfully defended Jackson in a child molestation trial, sat just behind the Jackson family. When the hour-long service ended, his brothers lifted Jackson’s casket for a final time to carry him inside the Great Mausoleum, where he was placed in his crypt at 9:43 p.m. PT (12:34 a.m. ET Friday). The family statement said it was “his final resting place.” The family and friends then drove to an Italian restaurant eight miles away, in Pasadena, California, for “a time of celebration.”

I watched most of the service as it aired live on CNN last night and found it a much more pared down service compared to the lavish service that took place at the Staples Center last July. I have to admit, I found the placing of the crown on the casket a bit odd but, that seems pretty de rigeur for any service honoring the memory of Michael Jackson. After all these weeks and months, tho, Michael Jackson is finally laid to rest … where he belongs.
