We have read a lot about Michael Jackson's untimely death for a few weeks now. Well, one of his dear friends, actress Elizabeth Taylor ended up in the hospital due to ill health after Jackson's death last month. Taylor, 77, was taken to a Los Angeles hospital from her Beverly Hills home on Monday.

Taylor -- who uses a wheelchair because of scoliosis, or abnormal curving of the spine -- gave fans an advance notice of her hospitalization through her Twitter account, DameElizabeth.

According to her Twitter page, Taylor said that she was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital last week for scheduled testing. She also said that her ill health had nothing to do with Michael Jackson's sudden passing as it was reporting.

"Although my grief over Michael could not be any deeper, I am not on suicide watch as some of the cheaper 'rags' would have you believe," Taylor tweeted July 5.

Taylor also said she declined an invitation to speak about Jackson at his public memorial because she "cannot be part of the public whoopla."

"I just don't believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others," Taylor tweeted. "How I feel is between us. Not a public event.

"I certainly don't want to become a part of it," she said. "I love him too much. ... And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word."

We at DesiHits! wish her a steady recovery. Drop your comments below.
