Elizabeth Taylor Cheated Death 53 Years Ago


source listal

On March 22, 1958  Elizabeth Taylor suffered a devastating tragedy, when her third husband, Mike Todd, was killed in a plane crash.  Ironically, 53 years later, almost to the day, Taylor succumbed to congestive heart failure.  

Taylor was supposed to be on that ill fated flight with Todd, a movie producer, along with a few friends as they travelled from Burbank, California to New York aboard Todd’s private plane, the Lucky Liz

Taylor was battling a cold and despite her protests, Todd insisted that she stay home.

Later that day the plane crashed near Grants N.M. killing Todd and the 3 other passengers on aboard.

His death was traumatic, driving Taylor infamously into the arms of Todd’s best friend, Eddie Fisher.  Their relationship was quite scandalous at the time as Fisher was still very much married to Debbie Reynolds.  The two received much unwelcomed attention as a result of their affair.

Ultimately Reynolds divorced Fisher, paving the way for him to marry Taylor in 1959. The two would divorce in 1964 just days before Taylor married Richard Burton for the first time.

During an interview with Larry King, Taylor admitted her two soulmates were Mike Todd and Richard Burton.

“I loved them passionately," she told King in 2006.

"Songs For Japan" Features Eclectic Music Mix

source racingsquirrels

Universal announced recently that quite a few artists had donated songs for a compilation CD to benefit the Japanese Red Cross Society.

The album, Songs for Japan, features thirty eight tracks from today’s hottest artists and a few iconic legends. It is a very eclectic collection with a little bit of everything offered. There’s rap, country, pop and a bit of classic rock. Lady Gaga, R.E.M, Foo Fighters, Sade, Pink and Cee Lo Green to name a few all have tracks on the album. It would be hard to be disappointed with this collection.

John Lennon’s Imagine kicks off the album with Bob Dylan’s Shelter From The Storm following it. Quite a few songs including Bruce Springsteen’s Human Touch and Elton John’s Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.  are appropriate picks for the project. 

Universal opted to release the album digitally as it was the fastest way to get it to market. A digital release also insures a worldwide audience immediately. It will sell for $9.99 on iTunes with all proceeds being donated to relief efforts.

Japan will be rebuilding for years to come and every little bit the Japanese Red Cross can raise will be put to good use.

Sarah Says, Benjamin Says

Let's recap. Sarah Lane, an ABT soloist who was one of two ballet doubles for Natalie Portman in Black Swan, already said that she did most of the twirling and leaping in the movie, but the producers wanted everyone to believe that it was Natalie so they told her to keep her lips shut. Sarah didn't. Benjamin Millepied, the movie's choreographer and half of the reason why Natalie's got a womb full of baby, retaliated by saying that his fiancee worked her toes off to move like a real dancer and that 85% of it was her.

Well, Sarah Lane is back and is hitting back at Benjamin with a giant NOPE. Sarah tells Entertainment Weekly that Benjamin needs to look at his abacus again and recalculate some shit, because Natalie did about 5% of her own dancing. THE PLOT THINS! Sarah went on:

?The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie. But that doesn?t show the actual dancing. They wanted to create this idea in people?s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar. It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I?ve been doing this for 22 years?. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you?re a movie star?

I mean, from a professional dancer?s standpoint, she doesn?t look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can?t dance in pointe shoes. And she can?t move her body; she?s very stiff. I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer.?

Benjamin answered back with: 85%

Sarah: 5%

Benjamin: 85%

Sarah: 5%

Benjamin: 85%

Sarah: Okay.

Benjamin: Yay.

Sarah: JK.

Benjamin: Damn. ......80%?

Are we really getting into the percentage game?! Sarah wants credit and Benjamin isn't going to give it to her. Or something. This is about as confusing as the damn movie. (SPOILER ALERT) When are we going to get to the part where when one of them stabs the other with broken glass and shoves 'em in a closet? Let's fast forward X10 to that part already. Actually, let's not. Instead let's go back and watch Winona Ryder say "Did you suck his cock? on a loop:

Now this is a game I like!
