For those of you concerned about such things, if you were wondering when was a good time to jump off the bandwagon, here’s your cue.

Writing under the handle DameElizabeth, Taylor is the latetst of a slew of celebriteis to transmit their thoughts in 140 characters or less. In the hospital for a “routine visit,” Taylor twittered her gratitude to fans and well wishers, which included Kathy Ireland.

Taylor, who has been in and out of ill health for years, had to relay via her rep last summer that she was not at death’s door—but now it sounds as if she’ll be tweeting such news.

The iconic, jewelry relishing thesp seems to have Internet access at the ready, but apparently she’s also looking to add one comfort of home to her hospital room.

“Thanks Darling for the beautiful flowers and all the prayers,” Taylor tweeted about four hours ago to Kathy Ireland. “Now can you just get my puppy past hospital security. Love…”

Actually, this is exactly why I love celebrities on Twitter. Elizabeth Taylor and Kathy Ireland? It’s like a private conversation between the perfume counter and the ladies section at Kmart- and we all get to listen in on it!

She may not look quite like she did in the 80s, but Kathy Ireland has aged gracefully.

Here she is at an event in Burbank for Chevy.
