Why Does Lifetime Hate Elizabeth Taylor So Much?

January 10, 2012 / Posted by:

“At least that raggedy crackamuffin bitch is shitting on your grave instead of mine for a change!” is what Marilyn Monroe said to Elizabeth Taylor up in the smoking lounge in heaven last night after Deadline reported that Lifetime is willing to go bankrupt from spending all of its money on prosthetics, CGI, sandblast equipment and black magic to turn Lindsay Lohan into a Elizabeth Taylor for a biopic. Lifetime can officially change its slogan from Lifetime: Television for Women into Lifetime: We Just Don’t Give A Fuck Anymore.

This mess, which doesn’t make sense, would make sense if LiLo was going to play Last Days Liz or Currently In The Grave Liz, but she’s in talks to play a young Elizabeth Taylor in Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story. Who the hell is going to play Richard Burton? Pete Doherty? (Okay, I’d erase everything in my Tivo to record that mess.)

You know, I’m all for HoHan tripping her way up to a Drew Barrymore-like comeback and she probably sees this Lifetime shit as her own personal Amy Fisher TV movie, but she just isn’t the one to play La Liz. This is ILLEGAL! Liz had a voice like a sweet piece of velvet and HoHan has a voice like a sweet piece of velvet after it got ran over by a semi-truck, used as toilet paper by a homeless junkie and chewed up by a crackhouse rat. The only ho in the world of Elizabeth Taylor that Lindsay Lohan should play is Larry Fortensky.

La Liz herself said it best:

You hear that, Lifetime? Unless you’re planning on digging up Liz’s corpse, just stop! Actually, maybe that’s not a bad idea. Liz’s corpse would look better on camera, give a more believable performance and would never get caught doing lines with her mother on the toilet seat in her bathroom trailer.
