The 77-year-old actress was widely rumored to take part in the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

However, Taylor, whose Twitter account is DameElizabeth, denies she will attend, saying she does not want to be part of the "public whoopla."

She wrote on her Twitter, "I've been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla. And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word."

"I just don't believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event."

"I said I wouldn't go to the Staples Center and I certainly don't want to become a part of it. I love him too much. My love goes out to Katherine and Michael's beloved children."

Taylor also denied she is on a "suicide watch" as some of the "cheaper rags" reported.
