Elizabeth Taylor Twitters From the Hospital

Diamonds are forever—but Twitter is so right now!

None other than two-time Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor, going by the handle DameElizabeth, has joined the Twitterverse, using it Friday to thank well-wishers from her hospital bed.

The 77-year-old actress' latest love is Twitter, spokesman Dick Guttman says, adding that La Liz has "entered the hospital for a routine visit and is doing fine."
