Liza Minnelli: What I learned from Elizabeth TaylorNearly three months after the passing of screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minneilli continues to be inspired by her lifelong friend. "Elizabeth had so much energy, and she was always doing something for somebody," the singer tells the Daily Mail. In fact, Minnelli says, Taylor founded amfAR in 1985 after discovering that their mutual friend, actor Rock Hudson, was suffering from AIDS. "Rock Hudson came with me to a dinner in her honor," recalls the "Cabaret" star. "She drew me aside at one point and said: 'Oh my God! What's wrong with Rock? He looks awful.' I explained that there was this new disease. Nobody knew what it was exactly, but I had friends in New York who were suffering from it and there was no cure. The next day, she called me. 'What did you say this disease was?' And so her AIDS charity, amfAR, was born. That was Elizabeth for you. She was a doer, with such a vibrant personality, and such a love for life." Minnelli last saw Taylor just months before her death in March, and, she says, "It never crossed my mind that this would be her final illness." Despite the tremendous loss, "I smile now as I think of her," says Minnelli. "Look what she did for people. She was always helping somebody. You won't ever get depressed if you're helping somebody else. Elizabeth taught me that. And that's the side of her I hope people will come to know better."

I think fernace is way hot. Please email me baby !
I'm hungry
I thought mandingo was faking fernace. Dingleberry changed his name, though. Back track blogs, you'll see what I mean. Good joke, by the way!
What is it with you miss piggy fernace? I just got on this thing. Well since you like saying my name, how about this? You (Fernace) are on a crowed bus when you suddenly realize you need to fart. The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat. You let go about 5 strong and loud ones back to back. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better, as you approach your stop. As you are leaving the bus, people are really staring you down, and that's when you remember..you've been listening to your ipod the whole time.
Nope..it's not mr. Ed. I read Mr. Ed postings and I don't think he would be nice as I am to you. I pick your name because you are always posting on every blog thinking you are sooo all that. Why don't you go on the cnn news blog if you think you are better than us.
@fernace, Mr. Ed is that you? You're doing a horrible job of faking me. It's not believable at all, so here are some tips. I always write loooong posts, my spelling & grammar are excellent, men loooove me & I drink Herradura Anejo! OK you'll have to take it from there! Good Luck, hope you come up with some fun shyte!!
Oh nancy i drink jack straight from the bottle. I'm a drunk. @boocat my mommy say we can play in traffic if only you will lead the way.
I see all of the mature responses to this article. It's nice your mommies and daddies taught you brats how to use a computer. Now kindly get off of same computer and go play in traffic.
Mommy, ran off with Keshaun from work and now Dad goes to these funny rallies where everyone dresses as ghosts.
Too true!

And I'll bet you are a beauty queen, right? Oh yes, and equally talented?
Well i beat up men also because they don't want to be with me. Im sad, fat and just plain ugly in the inside and out. what should I do? how can i attract men to me?
Do you know what I learned from Elizabeth Taylor? Absolutely nothing.
Well then, shame on you.
I can't believe it's not butter
and a lesbian.
All you haters with your smart assed comments best back-off or Liza will slap ya down with that big rod of hers.
Isn't she a known spouse abuser? Why do you give such a violent person publicity?
Liza has a fence post swinging between her legs.
You don't know Liza, so why on earth would you make such an idiotic remark? To all these insulting remarks, grow up.
Keep reading your trash rags for current information and show off your IQ's.
Ignorant pigs.
