AILING LIZ MISSES OWN LAUNCH

Hollywood legend Liz Taylor falls ill, skips ballyhooed opening of own jewelry store.

The ailing 77 year old superstar was expected to do some major ribbon cutting at the opening of her new  Beverly Hills gem outlet but fans were livid when she didn’t appear.

Many had been waiting patiently for three hours when Liz’s spokesperson revealed she had been stricken with flu and wouldn’t be joining them.

No Tweets from Taylor yet but it is believed she has regular flu not the swinish variety.

It’s the latest in a long history of medical problems for the Oscar winning star including emergency surgery in October to fix a leaky heart valve.

But despite facing death repeatedly over her long career,  Liz said last month she has "outlived so many who have prematurely buried me".
