The legendary Elizabeth Taylor passed away at 79 this past March 23rd.

According to Mossler Properties, the 1960s ranch-style house in Bel Air that Taylor called home for 30 years is on the market for $8.6 million.

According to Mossler’s description, the “fully gated and secured” 7,000-sq.-ft. hilltop residence sits on approximately 1.27 acres. Photos for the listing show a private driveway and a broad, bricked motor court, a pool, as well as lush landscaping.

Contained on the interior main floor are “a large, galley-style country kitchen, powder room, lower master suite, two family bedrooms with garden access, and maid’s quarters.”

What once was a screening room has been converted into an office, while “an adjoining powder room has a sauna and shower for the pool.”

The second-floor master suite offers “treetop views, master bath with spa tub, adjacent dressing room/salon and two smaller bedrooms.”

Only pre-qualified buyers need apply.

The Westboro Baptist Church, infamously known for picketing the funerals of fallen soldiers, homosexuals, victims of violence, and at times a combination of the three, have announced they plan on protesting legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor‘s funeral.

Margie Phelps, a member of the church that is mostly comprised of the Phelps family, tweeted:

“No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud fags. They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!”

Ms. Taylor was an avid AIDS advocate, raising almost $100 million through the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation since 1985.

When 94-year-old actress Zsa Zsa Gabor learned that her close friend Elizabeth Taylor passed away today, she reportedly became so visibly upset that she was rushed to the hospital.

Her husband, Fredric Prinz von Anhalt said that Zsa Zsa learned of Elizabeth’s passing like the rest of the world: while watching television. She “went hysterical” and “went through the roof” when she saw the news. The two had been friends for decades, and Zsa Zsa alleged said:

“Celebrities go in threes and I’m next.”

Jane Russell passed away in February at the age of 89, today was Ms. Taylor  at 79, and Zsa Zsa insists that she will complete the trifecta.

Zsa Zsa has been undergoing much medical treatment lately. She has had a leg amputated and has an infection is the remaining one. She released herself from the hospital earlier this month, though many believe she should remain under a doctor’s close care for obvious health reasons.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor may soon be walking down the aisle … for the ninth time.

A source close to the Oscar-winning actress, 78, tells UsMagazine.com exclusively that Taylor recently got engaged to Jason Winters, 49, of Sterling Winters Management.

Taylor — who now predominantly uses a wheelchair — and Winters — who recently became Janet Jackson’s new manager — have yet to confirm the news.

Says another insider: “It’s no secret that they’ve been together forever and are in love, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were engaged. Right now they are keeping it between them.”

In 2007, British papers reported that Taylor and Winters took a romantic vacation together at a Hawaiian resort. Taylor spent “the evening caressing the face of [Winters],” reported the Evening Standard. At the time, the paper quoted a source as saying: “She didn’t think she’d fall in love again, but since Jason came into her life that has all changed.”

The screen legend has also gushed about Winters to gossip columnist Liz Smith, describing him as “one of the most wonderful men I’ve ever known, that’s why I love him.” He even reportedly bought a house for them.

The screen legend has been married eight times — twice to love Richard Burton. Her last union, to construction worker Larry Fortensky, ended after five years in 1996.

ET has confirmed that Dame Elizabeth Taylor is continuing her amazing recovery after being hospitalized last month — and is happy, healthy and busy working.

The 76-year-old actress was rumored to be ill and on life support, but a source tells People magazine that Elizabeth’s been back to work overseeing the holiday packaging for her White Diamonds perfume.

“Ms. Taylor is at home and happy – and busier than ever,” a friend of Taylor’s said. “She’s living her life. She’s been having dinner with friends. She’s working.”

Taylor is reportedly feeling well enough to plan upcoming trips to Hawaii and Europe.

Elizabeth Taylor’s publicist has denied reports the actress is on death’s door – insisting she’s waiting to be discharged from hospital.

The 76-year-old is said to have been admitted to a medical center on July 15th after being diagnosed with pneumonia, but her condition reportedly worsened in the following days.

Taylor then suffered congestive heart failure on Wednesday night and was placed on a ventilation machine, according to the National Enquirer.

But the star’s spokesperson insists her health problems have been exaggerated – and that the actress’ hospital stint was a mere precaution.

The rep says, “Ms. Taylor is fine. The rumors which began in England about her health are dramatic, overstated and untrue. Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.”

Taylor – who suffers from diabetes and osteoporosis – has been plagued with health problems over the last few years.

She was first diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2004 and has endured two hip replacement operations and the removal of a benign brain tumor in 1997.
