It’s nice to see Elizabeth Taylor gussied up and out and about – this week she presented a wildly flattering bust of her exhusband Richard Burton to Prince Charles in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. A theater in Cardiff will be named after Burton and the bust will be placed in the lobby. Presumably Elizabeth’s boyfriend/manager Jason Winters won’t be sorry to see the bust go.
We figured out how that rumor about Elizabeth Taylor being “engaged” to manager Jason Winters got started. A couple of years ago Liz and Jason were thick as thieves – she adored him and often used his house in Hawaii. A year or so ago she flew with her entourage to stay at his house and Jason asked her NOT to drink while she was there. That made her very angry and Liz chartered a flight home that same day and she refused to speak to Jason for many months. Recently they repaired their relationship, and they’re best friends again. Jason manages Kathy Ireland (You DO remember Liz defending Kathy’s awkward interviews at the Oscars on twitter) Keep in mind, Jason isn’t exactly available – he already has a longtime companion – his business partner.
