Meanest Story nominee: Elizabeth Taylor THE END

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 21 February 2011

In what shapes up into a very mean week in the supermarket rags, the National Enquirer gets a nomination for taking a Brave Last Days Alert to Defcon 12 for Elizabeth Taylor. The details on the cover include:

• Stroke agony
• Down to 98 lbs.
• On Oxygen
• Tragic new photo

It's without question that she doesn't look good and hasn't for a while. But I chose the picture above to remind folks, especially the young people, that she was one of the prettiest child stars of all time and she turned into one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood.

And she was way ahead of the curve on the "I lubs teh kittehs" craze.

This gets a nomination for Meanest Story of the Week.
