LOS ANGELES - Dame Elizabeth Taylor was crowned the world's most indulgent star of all time in a survey published yesterday.
The 68-year-old Oscar-winning actress, famed for her love of glamorous gowns and glittering jewellery, heads a top 10 of extravagant celebrities singled out by the public.
Hollywood star Julia Roberts, who reportedly had a midwestern town's plumbing altered so she could bathe in mineral water while filming her latest movie, The Mexican, is placed at No 2.
Rock band Guns'n'Roses, whose tour contracts stipulated their dressing-room should contain a giant glass bowl of M&Ms, are listed third.
Pop diva Mariah Carey has been included at No 7 in what is considered to be a reflection of her supposed reliance on weekly home deliveries of Dead Sea salt, which she uses to exfoliate.
Michael Jackson wins the No 8 slot, in recognition of his alleged reliance on a high-pressure oxygen chamber to help him to retain his youth.
