Meanest Story nominee: Liz Taylor's bitter deathbed battle

Publication: Globe
Date: 7 March 2011

There have been so many stories in the tabloids these past few months about Liz Taylor dying, I get the whole Boy Who Cried Wolf vibe off of all of them. This week once again the Globe puts one on the cover and I give it a Meanest Story nomination. The new detail is that there is some drama about where Miss Taylor will be buried. She wants to be buried next to Richard Burton but his still living widow has other ideas.

This is yet again a reminder of the era when Liz and Dick were THE celebrities and everybody else was at the back of the line.
