It was not only her celebrity status that made her the toast of Hollywood.  It was also because of her many loves that Elizabeth Taylor became larger than life.  She's married 8 times to 7 husbands (2 times to the same person) and below is the timeline:

1.  Conrad "Nicky" Hilton (May 6, 1950 – January 29, 1951) (divorced)(May 6, 1950 – January 29, 1951) (divorced)
2.  Michael Wildin (February 21, 1952 – January 26, 1957) (divorced)
3.  Michael Todd  (February 2, 1957 – March 22, 1958) (widowed)
4.  Eddie Fisher  (May 12, 1959 – March 6, 1964) (divorced)
5.  Richard Burton  (March 15, 1964 – June 26, 1974) (divorced)
6.  Richard Burton  (October 10, 1975 – July 29, 1976) (divorced)
7.  John Warner  (December 4, 1976 – November 7, 1982) (divorced)
8.  Larry Fortensky  (October 6, 1991 – October 31, 1996) (divorced)

She was a celebrated beauty and started her film career at a very young age.  Elizabeth Taylor had a colorful life living in Hollywood since the early 1940s.  See her in pictures here.

Actress Elizabeth Taylor has died, her publicist tells CNN. She was 79.  This was what I received from CNN Breaking News in my inbox.  Although I read just recently how she has been hospitalized a few times, I was actually surprised she'd go this soon.

Another movie legend, known for her beauty and many marriages, is now gone.

There was no doubt in my mind that Thia Megia would land in the top 10.  Aside from her singing prowess which is a feat in itself at her age, she also has the look or as Steven Tyler would always say:  "total package", needed to become the next American Idol.

Thia joins other finalists Scotty McCreery, Pia Toscano, Lauren Alaina, Karen Rodriguez, Jacob Lusk, Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald, Haley Reinhart, and James Durbin plus three wild card candidates (Stefano Langone, Ashthon Jone and Naima Adedapo).

With the latest crop of singers, this season's American Idol is something I would watch and keep tabs on.

Here are what the judges comments on Thia's "Out Here On My Own" rendition:


Randy Jackson:  “Infectious.  It doesn’t matter what age you are. This is what hot singing is about!” 


Steven Tyler:  "Sometimes a person’s pitch can be so perfect it doesn’t matter what song they sing. And you just did that. I can’t believe you’re 15!"

Jennifer Lopez:  "It was just so beautiful. It’s such a quiet moment in the middle of all these very big performances to come out there, stand still, sing with no music in the beginning and just captivate every single person in this room was really, really special.”

Like the rest of us ordinary mortals, stars also spend time to be in the happiest place in the world for their down time.  They have been photographed with characters who may not be as popular as they are.  Some of these popular celebrities are:

1.  Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri
2.  Tyra Banks
3.  Tina Fey
4.  Paris and Nicky Hilton
5.  The Olsen twins

It seems like it's the season to get pregnant these days.  Several Hollywood celebrities have announced that they are happily expecting and in that interesting stage.

1.  Alyssa Milano and Dave Bugliari.  They were married in August 2009 and they are expecting their first baby.
2.  Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are excited for baby number 2.
3.  Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner announced they are expecting their first baby.  They were married on Oct. 25, 2009.
4.  Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki announced they are expecting baby number 1.  They got married in June 2005.
5.  Selma Blair and Jason Bleick's baby number 1.  The pair have been dating for about a year,
6.  Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy's first child together.  They have been dating for 9 months.
7.  David and Victoria Beckham are expecting their fourth child this summer.

Is this to follow in her elder sister's footsteps?  Whatever is the case, it's sad that Ashlee and Pete are separating ways after their 2.5 years of marriage.  They are now seeking joint custody of their 2-year old
