Stepping out! Liza Minnelli is all smiles as she ditches her wheelchair and WALKS out of famed Hollywood eatery

Please stop the thought police fascists at DL that prohibit you from being informed by reading the article

Does she have MS?

Emesh.

Is the guy in the poka-dot shirt her new boy toy or the other one with the tatoos?

she should run for Congress.

But the chair goes round and round and round and round.....

And round!

I’ve eaten at Craig’s. It’s nothing special. Not sure why it’s such a scene. The Ivy was like that. Food was meh

She did so much coke I would be shocked if she doesn't have Parkinson's. I'll be shocked if I don't end up with it

[quote]she should run for Congress.

She's too young.

She looks more and more like her daddy, bless her heart.

Poor Liza. One of her fake fingernails looked like it was put one while Liza was riding a tilt - a - whirl

I hate that age has caught up to her. I'd thought she'd still be performing at eighty.

But she seems happy.

R9 = Olivia de Havilland

I wonder how often she is taken to Hollywood Forever to talk with "Mama."

Liza has appeared on the DL Death Pool List for over twenty years. Seeing these recent photos, 2022 may really be her year.

Doesn't she drink like a fish, or smoke like a fish? Which one is it?

Still smokes, R16. Pours a little vodka in her OJ on occasion (wink, wink).

After seeing this clip of her being assisted to her car, I don't understand Michael Feinstein's comment that Liza felt she was "sabotaged" at the Oscars and "forced" at the last minute to use a wheelchair when she presented with Gaga.

Who were the girls with her? The one with the cluster of keys on his right side better watch not to scratch Liza's Cadillac!

"Does she have MS?"

"MS"?

Many Shots?

Yes

I really liked her old Hollywood home. Or was that her fathers? I wish a really talented architect would start building those old Hollywood type homes again. Anything from 9000 to 15000 sq ft us appropriate. Hollywood is filled with a bunch of really big ugly houses, set on to small lots. Hollywood needs its class back again. And it needs to stop with this modern BS.

Some people call those types of houses Movie Star traditional homes. I'd like to see them appear again. Maybe traditional modern versions would work better today, with all of the modern luxuries and conveniences of today. Hollywood needs its class back.

Weekend at Bernie'sh

Love her. This looks like her very very sad last days.

But then again, I’ve been saying that for 20 years.

I used to know her. Haven't spoken to her in 20 years. Such a talent. We do live too long.

Here's the menu for Craig's restaurant.

Forgot to say, I think I'd order the cioppino or rigatoni.

Thersh no place like a funeral home.

I'm 63 and she looks like my grandmother. The mileage on this woman is just amazing.

Poor thing....

Say what you will about Liza, the old gal is resilient.

I can imagine her entrance into heaven, possibly like the end of "Titanic", except it's the set of "Meet Me In St Louis". Judy's looking like she did as Esther Smith, and a young Vincent looks quite dashing, even with his eye makeup.

Peter Allen is in one of his "Legs Diamond" outfits, and Kay Thompson is all in pink. The only ex husband not there is David Guest. Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor arrive together late. He's in his scarecrow outfit, and she's in an outfit that daddy had picked out from "The Sand Piper".

R7, all the Hollywoldies love that joint. Joan Collins is photographed there all the time. Maybe everything on the menu is served a la purée.

Craig's is owned by the former manager of Dan Tana and they kiss your ass big time, which is why it is celeb central. The food is fine.

So, those two gays made Liza walk again, eh? Someone tell the Pope.

Hmmm, how many gay handlers suck up to Liza on a daily basis, fill her head with shit and tell her what she wants to her in an effort to get into her will?

All of 'em.

Liza at 76 looks like her mother at 47, she's not long for this world. What I like about Liza is that she's not a bitch, she's never spilled the beans and refuses to talk ill of people she's known, and you know she knows all the stories.

Speaking of Joan Collins, we had another thread on DL about JC and Liza having breakfast at some LA place that recently closed. Similar rich people vibe as Craig's, maybe.

Anyway, I would not want to have Liza's health & mobility problems. BUT, she looks happy. Can you fake it? Yes, but I think she has a nice outlook on life and I wish I could be that cheerful.

r35 I'm getting the feeling of a Doris Duke/Bernard Lafferty like relationship that Liza has with these gay men. I don't trust them.

No one goes to Craig's for anonymity. Liza loves the paps and is always cheerful and funny but gets her few minutes of fawning. That's the same restaurant that Carole Cook frequents and said "Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?' when asked about Trump.

She loves the paps and she loves a piano!

[quote] Liza was asked if she had heard Britney Spears and Elton John's new song Hold Me Closer. She exclaimed 'No!' and turned to her friend to ask about it.

[quote]'I love Britney.' Liza said.

She has her fathers looks and her mothers self control.

Percy dear, ring the paps, tell them I'm here. I want everyone to think I'm still desirable and newsworthy.

She was trying to skip out on the check!

Waiters loved her in the 80s because whenever she came to LA, she'd dine at some fancy restaurant and excuse herself to the restroom. She'd take a glass of water, dump it in a plant and hand it to the waiter. She'd tell him to fill it with Vodka, slipped him $50 and told him to not put it on the tab. She'd return to the table, happy as a clam.

SHTEPPING OUT WITH ALL SHMILESH!

R31's post is enchanting. Love it!

Is Matteo the chef at Craigs?

[quote] I can imagine her entrance into heaven, possibly like the end of "Titanic", except it's the set of "Meet Me In St Louis". Judy's looking like she did as Esther Smith, and a young Vincent looks quite dashing, even with his eye makeup.

I think that's more [italic]your[/italic] entrance into heaven than Liza's.

I'm sure Liza would want them to look like they did during her actual childhood.

I think Matteo left to open his own place, but I've only been eating a places with outdoor dining. Not sure with Covid.

Make that places with plenty of outdoor space. Craig's does have a patio

Schurely thisch thread isch bescht titled schtepping out?! Gosch!

I wanted to see her bust into the dance routine she did for Don’t Drop Bombs.

R54 She would tumble into a pile of dust.

A true Hollywood showbiz icon. I wonder what Joan Crawford thought of her? 🤔

I saw Liza at the old Spago (by Tower Records), with my parents in the 80s. The bathrooms were up a set of stairs, and we heard a scream, followed by a high heel flying down the stairs. A waiter picked up the shoe and took it up to her. When Liza finally came down, everyone nearby applauded and she took a bow.

I'm glad she's found romance at this time in her life, her boyfriend with the polka dot shirt is adorable.

R58 Oh, honey. I don’t think that guy is into women.

[quote] She'd take a glass of water, dump it in a plant and hand it to the waiter. She'd tell him to fill it with Vodka, slipped him $50 and told him to not put it on the tab. She'd return to the table, happy as a clam.

And the poor dear actually thought she was fooling her dining companions?

Alcoholics love to think that vodka is undetectable. It isn't, of course, especially when you drink a water glass full (12 - 16 oz). I'm sure she smelled like a distillery, but the people she was with just smiled and said nothing. At least not to her, right then.

[quote]Here's the menu for Craig's restaurant.

A $14 bowl of soup has long been a dream of mine.

She must have full-time, live-in nurshing care at the Shierra Towersh. One slip in the bathtub and she's finished.

She looks a lot like her mother in those pics.

Oh shure I can walk, honey...

I jush need the right pillshs.

[quote]I'm glad she's found romance at this time in her life, her boyfriend with the polka dot shirt is adorable.

[quote]Oh, honey. I don’t think that guy is into women.

Oh honey, his shirt is made from one of JonBenét Ramsey's old pageant dresses.

All her pageant dresses went to disadvantaged little girls who ACTUALLY appreciated it!

[quote]She looks a lot like her mother in those pics.

And not in a good way:

And just like Liza, two gays miraculously were able to get Judy to walk.

Where do these gay powers come from?

Just don't let her die on the shitter.

R69 Over the rainbow of course!

Gotta give the lady respect for pushing herself to do things that are important to her although she's struggling a bit with her health.

Keeping a smile on her face too. Liza allows herself to be photographed using a wheelchair, she's a tough one.

Schitter! Gosch, I loved that schow! The little gay boy made me schqueal!

What Liza owes Andy Warhol is beyond! Without his painting of her she'd be on food stamps.

Who are the guys?

Are there any appearance for Liza since the Oscars with Gaga? She was upset about seeming feeble so this is her big 'I can still walk' moment if not

In the olden days, stars wouldn't allow themselves to be seen using wheelchairs. These days, we can accept using a wheelchair as a way to get around, not a moral shortcoming.

Liza looked out of it at the Academy Awards, looks better here.

Liza had or has Warhols of herself, mother and father. Plus, he gave her several pieces as gifts.

[quote]In the olden days, stars wouldn't allow themselves to be seen using wheelchairs. These days, we can accept using a wheelchair as a way to get around, not a moral shortcoming.

When Bette Davis was just days away from dying of cancer and barely able to walk, she refused a wheelchair to board the plane from Spain that would take her to the American Hospital in Paris. She was nearly dead (and she knew it) but insisted on walking to the plane in case photographers caught her.

You shall never see one in a wheelchair and thus you shall never see one ever again

Nice to see her living a nice life materialy. She was recently interviewed by CBS Sunday morning and looks like she's living grand in LA. Couldn't make out how big her apartment/house was? But she seems to still have real money to live like the Hollywood legend she is. Good for her. She seems to gave done really well financially in her career.

Liza lives in Sierra Towers, a very nice and luxurious condo building in West Hollywood.

r81 Liza learned from her mother's mistakes and has always been very good with her money. She had Sinatra's money managers for a long time.

I have a sch-enic one bedroom at the Sch-ierra Towersch.

How's the potatoe salad there?

I don’t know how the fuck Oscar producers forced her into that wheelchair. Does anyone know the backstory on all this? You would think Liza would’ve refused to have been bulldozed by them. She looks frail, but I have no doubt she she could’ve stood there with LGG. They were only on stage like two minutes.

The Will Smith fiasco happened moments before and people were in a panic backstage. Liza was ordered, but she was asked nicely. There was enough of a shitstorm already and they didn't need an elderly Liza falling down and breaking a hip on stage to add to it.

Liza doesn't argue because that's not Liza's nature. Faye would have ripped them a new one. Barbra would have been insulted and left.

R87 thanks. My first instinct as a producer would be for LGG to have her arm around her or something to prevent her falling. Interesting that Liza was so amenable to doing that, and not being filmed in her best light at the Oscars no less.

They should've put Liza in a director's chair before they came back from commercial so she was already on stage.

I remember in behind the scenes of Oprah's last season, Oprah's producers ordering Liza around and treating her like dirt. Nasty cunts they were. Liza deserved better.

this producer is a condescending cunt, couldn't find the longer clip

the longer behind the scenes Oprah episode with Liza where they treat her like rubbish has been mysteriously deleted from youtube,

Oprah always hired asshole cunt producers to do her dirty work so she came out looking good

Can you imagine if that producer bitch spoke to Barbra like that?

Yeah, she'd wack her in the face with the microphone she painted white! MY microphone!

It's a sacrilege not letting Liza smoke in the green room, who fuckin cares! One lousy little cigarette!

I remember seeing the longer Oprah clip. That producer was a condescending cunt to Liza. Can you even imagine how Barbra or Madonna would've reacted to that cunt's attitude?

I remember Oprah going off during one of her shows about one of her producers who dared to ask Oprah for a personal loan to pay for her million dollar wedding. Oprah was so angered, she mocked the producer who had asked and spitefully remarked the woman was divorced.

These producers are snotty rich girls hired due to nepotism. Smoking isn't allowed for good reason but Liza is a VIP and twice the age of the grotesque woman scolding her.

Send an intern to purchase a few air purifiers and accommodate your VIP, just this once.

Makes me wonder when celebrities are labeled "difficult." If a phony, smarmy cunt like that producer woman got told off by a celebrity it would be understandable. But then the celeb gets the "difficult" label. Sometimes things aren't so black and white when it comes to celebrity behavior because of certain people they have to interact with who treat them terribly.

Liza would've been perfectly justified in telling that cunt to fuck off.

So not only did they force poor Liza to sing tidbits from three of her famous songs in 3 and a half minutes, but she specifically requested not to be asked about her marriages, but Oprah asked her anyway! And they're obnoxious enough to be proud of it and post it online!

I think everyone would've been perfectly fine if they had to inhale Liza's secondhand smoked for two hours, nobody was going to drop dead. As the above poster said, Liza should've been accommodated. She's fucking Liza FFS!

Now you know why Oprah never had ME on her show!

If it's any consolation, these producers were also in charge of Oprah's big sendoff show,and had to deal with Aretha locking herself in her limo and refusing to do the big finale. So they got their just desserts in the end.

It might have even been the woman producer who bitched about it to Oprah afterwards, and Oprah saying "Well, that's Aretha" in a "What the fuck do you want me to do about it?" manner.

She should have put her cigarette out on the bitches dress, and said: 'three words; Liza fuckin Minelli!'

#Minnelli

[quote] So they got their just desserts in the end.

Oh, dear.

I love you r104!

thanks, i love me too, lol

After living and making it through all her early years with the various pressures of her mom Judy Garland on her proverbial shoulders, I give Liza credit for making it this far and so many years longer-living than her mom ever got to be; and so I think she has the right to live her remaining life being and doing whatever the fcuk she feels like, as a result.

R98 - air purifiers are a must for important occasions.

Does Meghan have to invade EVERY thread? She's not fit to wipe Liza's ass.

[quote]Minelli!

Oh, dear. And it's in the title.

I wonder how Liza DIDN'T KNOW that smoking isn't allowed indoors anywhere these days. Couldn't she have smoked a pack in the car before going in? Jeez, that's what I used to do. If she was so nervous she couldn't handle it, she shouldn't have done the show.

[quote]Liza would've been perfectly justified in telling that cunt to fuck off.

They would have thrown her out. Liza is not Aretha or Streisand. They'd have thrown Faye Dunaway and Diahann Carroll out though.

[quote]Just don't let her die on the shitter.

I'm sure Liza has paid help getting her to the toilet. If she passes out and dies there, that individual will re-stage the scene.

[quote] I think everyone would've been perfectly fine if they had to inhale Liza's secondhand smoked for two hours, nobody was going to drop dead. As the above poster said, Liza should've been accommodated. She's fucking Liza FFS!

This is how every diva thinks with regards to herself--because stans like you empower them to do so.

It is to Liza's credit she does not think this way about herself.

[quote] Does Meghan have to invade EVERY thread? She's not fit to wipe Liza's ass.

That's an image I could do without.

I wish this thread would stop discussing Liza taking a shit.

[quote]It is to Liza's credit she does not think this way about herself.

These days I don't think Liza is capable of thinking anything so complex.

r114 Liza earned the right to smoke a cig backstage at Oprah's studio. Fuck that cunt producer.

Shouldn't she be in NYC in some apartment with her feet up. LA is no place for her to be toddling around.

Liza wants to die in California, R118. Near her sister and autistic brother.

Could they all go together in a gigantic funeral pyre?

ONE SHINGLE SHIGARETTE

I like blue!

She looks great

Are Liza and Lorna still on speaking terms?

Love her to death. Such a sweetheart.

Liza walks like FDR used to talk.

r113 is Oprah's cunt producer

I'm glad Joey finally showed up. I was a little worried.

Oh, you were worried, R128? Well I was molested!

Stepping Out was actually a movie she was in! Anyone ever see it? What’s it about? I think it came out the same time as Straight Talk - and was about as successful.

Craig's - An American Restaurant

8826 Melrose Ave. West Hollywood, CA 90069.

[quote]They should've put Liza in a director's chair before they came back from commercial so she was already on stage.

She would have fallen off. She shakes too much.

That phony smug bitch producer should've lit Liza's cig for her in Oprah's green room.

Can someone tell Liza Jerry Lewis is dead, so there is no need for her to be escorted to the Telethon. It's not being broadcast this year,

I wash gonna do a little song and dansh!

She’s 76 years old people and has had back, hip and knee issues for over 40 years. Mix in the addiction issues, a messy romantic life, and almost dying from encephalitis, I think she looks alright.

It's a miracle she's still alive, after all the shit she's done to her body.

[quote]has had back, hip and knee issues for over 40 years

Not 40 years, more like 25. The knees and hips have been replaced. If they did it right, she should be able to walk.

I think she has at least one more comeback left in her. Maybe a show at the Palace when it re-opens?

The weather in Los Angeles is probably better for her than NYC weather. Looks like she doesn't drive. She seems like a cool lady.

And just for the hell of it, here she is on HSN.

If there is any show left in her, it's those god-awful "An Evening With......" shows, reminiscing, nostalgia, and scripted. At least she can sit in a ornate wheelchair.

Which of her two attendants have the pleasure and honor of removing and replacing her Depends.

Conchita does that.

Oh ffs, Liza has NO show left it her! Liza lives in a sedated twilight world of illness, infirmity and medication

Rumor has it when Liza lived in NYC she was registered as a Republican. I guess they still had liberal UES Republicans in those days.

Excuse me, I work part time for Miss Lizsha.

(R145) She had a condo here in the Imperial House. I never saw her and that was a blessing.

Joan Crawford lived (and died) in the Imperial House.

R147 yup that’s right. And she used to frequent Petaluma all the time and sneak out approximately every 7 min for cigarettes. This was about 10/15 years ago.

If Liza can go out regularly and eat ravioli with MF chances are she's compos mentis at home.

composh mentish

Liza allegedly killed Viveca Lindfors.

Liza will still perform a bit, always lately with Feinstein. Don't forget that among the ailments - there's severe scoliosis.

She’s quite frail. Kind of sad to see anyone like this.

"It'sh ve-ry clear, our love ish here to shtay..."
