Eight time married actress Elizabeth Taylor is not planning her ninth set of nuptials with patner Jason Winters says a close pal.Media reports in the U.S. have been speculating as to when Taylor, 75, will be announcing plans to wed 47-year-old Winters - in what would be her ninth marriage. But Martin Delaney, a friend of the couple and the founder of a San Francisco Aids charity, has dismissed the reports as "silly stuff".He says, "I don't know how a marriage between them could take place. That's not the kind of relationship they've got. I find it all pretty amusing."Elizabeth is friends with Jason and his long-term friend, Erik Sterling... I know Elizabeth is very close to Jason, but the idea of them marrying is silly stuff."Taylor was last married to construction worker Larry Fortensky in 1991, but the relationship ended in divorce in 1996.The movie icon has also been presented with a Humanitarian Award For AIDS Activism at a fundraiser in Santa Monica, California on Thursday (27Sep07).

The 75-year-old, who was in a wheelchair, is a founding chairwoman of the annual Macy's Passport benefit, which launched in 1988 and raises funds and awareness of HIV and AIDS.

During her acceptance speech, Taylor told the audience, "I was here at the first night, here last year. I will continue to be here until we defeat the enemy of HIV and AIDS."
