Between giving date rapes the thumbs-up and tarring other women as "jealous bitches," Helen Mirren hasn't done much for womankind lately, though she did plenty for mankind when jaw-dropping bikini photos of her hit the web months ago. Mirren has repeatedly protested that her seemingly blemish-free physique was simply…
Though she'll always have a permanent place in our heart/loins, we're a little worried that Helen Mirren is toeing the thin line that separates saucy cougars from grandmothers who say totally inappropriate things at dinner. First, the Oscar-winning actress made it known that she eschews bangers and mash for a somewhat…

While we expect actress Helen Mirren to be both bodacious and bawdy, nothing could have prepared us for the candid interview she recently gave to the British version of GQ, where the Oscar winner opened up at length about her shoplifting problem, her love of cocaine, and her multiple date rapes. The latter…

We really don't care what team you play for: one glimpse of that legendary rack—twice damed by the Queen…
Helen Mirren is a hundred and eleven years old and she looks great! (Actually, she's a spry 62). The many, many awards-winning actress (most notably, perhaps, for The Queen) was photographed recently in Puglia, swimming and climbing rocks in a bikini. And, quite frankly, she looks better than half the ladies half her…
We've already heard enough stars insisting that those sex scenes we find either major turn-ons (Mickey Rourke force-feeding Kim Basinger strawberries on the kitchen floor in 9 1/2 Weeks) or majorly eye-scarring (Heather Graham faking her way through grainy limo thrusts in Boogie Nights) are totally perfunctory while…
