Helen Mirren

HELEN MIRREN RULED THE RED CARPET

EVERYONE seems to be in Monte Carlo this week. Helen Mirren, 71, just looks so darn pretty in this photo taken at the Monte Carlo TV festival that we had to publish it. Last month she was the commencement speaker at Tulane University in New Orleans, a city she LOVES. Among her remarks: “I have one question – why the hell are you graduating? You want to LEAVE this wonderful place and go find jobs? Makes no sense!” She jokingly advised students to “Tell the dean to keep your diplomas, and go back to the dorm!”

YOU CAN COUNT ON HELEN MIRREN – AL PACINO, NOT SO MUCH

738471_PS_080511_PC_03106_2.JPG

Helen Mirren has lived up to all our expectations. As you may recall she starred in the HBO movie Phil Spector with Al Pacino and just received a SAG award for her performance. Hollywood publicist Edward Lozzi was a friend of Lana Clarkson, who was killed by Phil Spector, and since day one Lozzi objected to the unethical script to the movie, which inaccurately and incredibly left doubt about Spector’s guilt. Lozzi had contacted the cast and crew involved in the Spector movie about his script concerns and Helen was the ONLY person to respond. She told Ed that the script was in no way demeaning to victim Lana Clarkson. Ed ran into Helen at the SAG awards and she took time to talk to him. She reiterated the fact that she made sure here was nothing derogatory about Lana in the script and that it was important to her. Lozzi was impressed by her sincerity and concern. We’re happy that Phil Spector is still locked up.

ANTHONY HOPKINS IS TRANSFORMED INTO ALFRED HITCHCOCK


Photos via: BestWeekEver

SOMEBODY should be up for an Oscar for Best Make-up next year for turning Anthony Hopkins into a convincing Alfred Hitchcock. The contrived resemblance is amazing – how did they get those jowls to look so natural? Hopkins is starring as the legendary director in “Hitchcock” with Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel. The plot is described as a love story (not between Hitchcock and his blonde leading lady) but between him and wife Alma, played by the dependable Helen Mirren, as it happened during the 1960 filming of “Psycho.”

“LOVE RANCH” – WE HOPE THE MOVIE IS AS GOOD AS THE TRAILER

We became mesmerized by this trailer for “Love Ranch” and we are SO ready to see this film! After all those action video game movies we suffered through this month – here comes a real sexy drama! It’s based on a true story about a married couple in the 1970’s (played by Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren) who open the first legal brothel in Nevada. (Gina Gershon and Taryn Manning are two of their “girls”) When a gorgeous South American boxer is thrown into the mix, a surprisingly passionate love triangle leads to murder. Take a look at the trailer and see if you can resist seeing this one. (It opens June30)

IS HELEN MIRREN GETTING FASHION TIPS FROM PARIS HILTON?

It’s official. English actress Helen Mirren has GONE HOLLYWOOD! Her look at the Emmys says it all. (Helen won for Best Actress in a TV Miniseries.) Note the spray-on tan and the no-bra look. A satiny slinky low cut dress is topped off with platinum blonde hair (all that’s missing are extensions.) She’s come a long way since winning an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth.

DON JOHNSON: HE'S STILL GOT IT, ACCORDING TO HELEN MIRREN

djohnsoncut_450x297.jpgWe love this picture of Don Johnson turning on the charm for Helen Mirren at a recent event. Helen seems quite captivated by the former lothario and it proves that women his age still have a weakness for the former Miami Vice star. Don still looks pretty darn good.
