Lindsay Lohan Lights Up For LOVE

Lindsay Lohan has a nice little spread in the spring issue of LOVE magazine.

The Marilyn Monroe-inspired photo shoot was snapped by Terry Richardson back in November, which was around the same time she did her Playboy shoot.

Linds kept her clothes on this time around, even covering up in a t-shirt with Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra printed on it.

Guess that's her way of showing Lifetime she really wants the part.

Thoughts???

Real Housewife Jill Zarin Bought Elizabeth Taylor's Jewelry Too

Kim Kardashian wasn't the only reality star to bid on Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry.

Jill Zarin of the Real Housewives of New York fame won two items: a Zorhab Istanboulian ring and a 14kt gold Van Cleef and Arpels pill box with the inscription "To Elizabeth With Love".

Her husband Bobby ended up shelling out $19,000 for the light blue gemstone ring and another $8,000 for the pillbox, but Jill thinks it was worth every penny:

"I’m a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor I always have been. I admired her because she was such a loyal friend and because she was the first A-list celebrity to say that HIV/AIDS is not a gay disease and came out to help so many people. Owning some of her pieces is really personal."

Jill admits she's really good at losing things and hopes to have Taylor's trinkets in her possession for a long time.

Elizabeth Taylor's Jewelry Auction Breaks Records!

Filed Under: Elizabeth Taylor Jewelry

elizabeth-taylor-record-breaking-christies-jewelry-auction.jpg

Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection was auctioned off at Christie's on Tuesday night and to no ones surprise it fetched nearly four times more than expected.

A total of 80 lots were auctioned off for $116 million, setting a world record for a private collection of jewelry — and that's just the beginning.

La Peregrina was estimated to sell between $2-3 million, but ended up going for a whopping $11.8 million, the most for a pearl jewel. Also smashing records was Taylor's Taj Mahal ruby and gold chain. It sold for $8,818,500 and set the world record for an Indian jewel.

Even though it wasn't a record breaker, Liz's infamous 33.29 carat Elizabeth Taylor Diamond, went for a pretty penny — $8,818,500.

Dayum.

But as high as those prices may be, a portion of the $116 million will be donated to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Liz would be proud!
