Thanks To Twitter We Know This Story Isn't True


I am still undecided when it comes to Twitter and whether I would have anything to say and whether I would be forced to think of things to say if I had a Twitter account. It isn't that I don't look at Twitter accounts because I do, but I just don't know if it is right for me. Last night I had two friends who were both at the Beyonce concert and both sending Tweets throughout the night. They were exactly the same even though they didn't know each other. It was very surreal. But, one thing Twitter has done is show that a National Enquirer story is full of crap.

Anyway, last week I posted about how Elizabeth Taylor got on her Twitter account and told the world that she was fine and that she had to go to the hospital this week for some pre-scheduled tests. She knew she was going and she told the world.

Well, apparently The Enquirer sees her hospital admittance in an entirely different light than she does. Their headline today says, "Liz Taylor Rushed To ER." Well, she probably didn't dawdle or get a bite to eat before she went to the hospital, but I doubt anyone drove through red lights or anything to get here there. But, still if you go from point A to point B with no stops in between, then I guess it could be considered rushing.

Why was she admitted to the hospital? According to The Enquirer, "the heart's gone out of her" because Michael died. As she indicated last week she said, all of the tabloids were full of crap and that while she was sad, she could handle it. The Enquirer then goes on to say that the family banned her from attending the memorial and that Elizabeth was "crushed, and she's still crying." Uh huh. Elizabeth Taylor can go anywhere she wants to go and if she wanted to go to the memorial I am sure she would have.
