Elizabeth Taylor takes a licking, but keeps on twittering.

The 77-year-old screen legend has been discharged from a Los Angeles hospital after spending the weekend there for what publicist Dick Guttman described as a routine examination.

"I'm home from the hospital and feeling great," Taylor posted on her Twitter page. "Thanks for all the love and support!"

The Oscar-winning dame announced her hospitalization in a tweet Friday, when she thanked former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kathy Ireland for flowers.

Taylor, whose health has been in decline for years, has developed a serious Twitter habit since opening an account in recent weeks. Earlier this month, she twittered rhapsodic about a certain little movie: "Just saw Twilight on DVD. I want more!"
