TAYLOR TO HAVE HEART SURGERY

Veteran screen icon DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR is to undergo heart surgery to fix a leaky valve.
The 77-year-old Cleopatra star broke the news to fans on her Twitter.com page, revealing she will soon be going under the knife to improve blood flow to her heart.
And Taylor, who has been wheelchair-bound in recent years, is appealing to devotees to pray for her wellbeing.
She says, "Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart.
"It's very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better.
"Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I'll let you know when it's all over."
