Kim Kardashian & Liz Taylor's Jewelry

Kim Kardashian is finding unique ways to get over her 'heartbreaking' divorce. The reality star reportedly paid $65k to outbid jewelry collectors for three jade and diamond bracelets that used to belong to legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor's jewelry was auctioned off in New York City this week--total worth: $116 million.

Kardashian did a magazine interview with Taylor shortly before the screen icon passed away in March of 2011.

Well, the late great Liz was known for her numerous failed marriages--maybe there is a connection there?

Kim Kardashian, who has over 6.2 million fans on Twitter, had to ask (nicely) if living legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor, would “follow” her on the social networking site.

“Will you please follow me?” asked Kardashian, who interviewed her idol for the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

The two glamour queens also talked money, men—and diamonds.

“I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands,” Taylor confessed to Kardashian. “For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.”

Taylor also shared her weakness for the dark, swarthy type, “I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell—both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range.”
