[Deathwatch] Nick, Jessica and Liz

A US Magazine headline screams, "We're Not Over!" which Gawker interprets to mean, "You're SO over!" Do we know when things went South for this perky toothsome? Perhaps it was when Nick said, ""Not too many nice things to say about her ..... How about she was the best stocking I ever stuffed?" Defamer claims that the only reason MTV signed them up for another season was to make sure they get the relationship-ending murder-suicide on tape. Not sure there's a part for Scott Peterson though.

Defamer is also reporting that media have been alerted to start dusting off the Liz Taylor archival footage. (I think having her coffin dragged out of the church by Michael Jackson and a herd of wild monkeys should add just the right amount of gravitas.)

When I think about Liz — when I'm not confusing her with Judy Garland that is — I like to remember A Date with Judy, in which a 16-year-old Liz played second fiddle to Jane Powell. The film also starred Xavier ("Mr. Charo") Cugat and Carmen Miranda, in what had to have been the apex of the Golden Age of Mescaline Cinema. You don't have to have ever done drugs to notice the pattern in the wallpaper crawling up and down across the screen.

RIP, the lot of you! And God Bless and Long Life to Sharon and Ozzie!
