He showered HER with diamonds and ordered a suite at Neverland be painted violet like her eyes. She bought HIM an elephant she shipped from Asia: Intimate secrets of Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson's bizarre relationship rev

• The actress and the singer were close friends for over 20 years, bonding over their difficult pasts, according to upcoming book
• Michael brought his chimp Bubbles to tea with the Hollywood celebrity and the two formed a devoted partnership
• The 'Thriller' singer ordered decorators to paint a suite at his ranch the color of her violet eyes; she gave him an elephant called Gypsy 
• It was Liz's influence that drew Michael to move out of his family home in 1987 and buy the property that would become Neverland
• They were ‘like two kids playing hooky, having food fights, gossiping, horsing around, being children all over again,' writes the author
• Michael showered her with gifts including a 17 carat diamond ring, a diamond bracelet, diamond necklaces and ruby encrusted watches
• The pair are even buried at the same cemetery in California
• From sharing tea with a chimpanzee to afternoons spent watching Disney movies, Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor’s friendship was the oddest in Hollywood.
  Drawn together by their megawatt star-power, difficult childhoods and drug problems, the pair’s relationship was as intense as it was bizarre, according to a new book out  later this month.
  Michael wooed Liz with grand gestures like ordering decorators to paint a suite at his Neverland ranch the same shade of violet as her eyes.
  She responded by buying him an elephant which she shipped in from Asia.
