Michael Jackson is undergoing addiction treatment in Europe, Elizabeth Taylor said Friday. She said she helped arrange the treatment but wouldn't say more about where he was.

"I have suffered and dealt with the same kind of medical problems now afflicting my friend Michael Jackson."Jackson said last week that he had become addicted to prescription painkillers.

Taylor commented during the dedication of the Elizabeth Taylor Medical Center, an AIDS clinic in Washington.
