Hump Day & Chill

Helen Mirren

I'm going to school you Hump Day & Chill style. I present to you the one and only Helen Mirren at this year's Cannes Film Festival. 

At 77 years young Helen is her own unique creation. Thus she never goes out of vogue. 

Know that how hard you might try to bend it like Ms. Mirren you will never be as cool as she is.

Consider yourself schooled now go Hump Day & Chill...

Sh!t Helen Mirren Says

Paint It Black
Helen Mirren

Let's face it at 72 Helen Mirren is da bomb! Look it's Helen looking stunning in black at a screening of her current movie Winchester. 

Based on the real life of Winchester rifle heiress Sarah Winchester here is the synopsis for it: The most haunted house in the world sits on an isolated stretch of land that's 50 miles outside of San Francisco. Built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester fortune, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To an outsider, it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman's madness. But Sarah's actually building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts -- and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters.

But that's not the point of today's post, today is Helen Mirren Day here on Entertain Me! I could extrapolate on why I adore her, but why don't we let this dame speak for herself. From the mouth of a broad here is some sh!t Helen Mirren says!

There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.

All you have to do is to look like crap on film and everyone thinks you're a brilliant actress. Actually, all you've done is look like crap.

I am so happy that I didn't have children. Well, you know, because I've had freedom. And I've so loved my freedom.

It's great to be queen!

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

Flesh sells. People don't want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies.

Girls go out together to see a chick flick or something. I loathe, I hate, chick flicks.

You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

Want more Helen? Of course you do...!

Helen Mirren Sucks On Jimmy Fallon

Mirren & Fallon: They Switched Balloons, Helen Wanted The One That Matched Her Dress, Damn It!

Helen Mirren stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon last night and she sucked! The talented and amazing looking actress who just let loose her L'Oreal campaign joined Jimmy in a Q & A where they each sucked helium out of a balloon when speaking. 

Mirren's balloon was blue and matched the dress she was wearing, Fallon's was red. They accessorized well.

Fallon asked her everything from where she keeps her Oscar to giving her an award of a stuffed panda and having Ms. Mirren give and acceptance speech. Oh an of course there were plenty of entendres to be had.

Not to mention when the balloon actually broke some wind Mirren pretended it was her own.

I love Helen Mirren, she is a highly regarded actress who has not one uptight or pretentious bone in her body, she really knows how to cut loose! Check out the video below and have a terrific Tuesday!

Fact: Helen Mirren Is Hot!!!

Helen Mirren Promoting Her Saturday Night Live Appearance, Hot!

When I was a freshman in High School, my dear deceased Dad took me to see Excalibur, one of the best tellings of King Arthur to ever hit the silver screen aside from crushing on Nicholas Clay as Lancelot, I was quite taken with the actress playing Morgana, Helen Mirren - she was riveting, not to mention sexy as all get out!

I really did not become aware of her again until Peter Greenaway's  The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, which I paid to see one Easter weekend I believe. Brilliant hard to watch film in which the amazing Helen bared her body and her soul.

This is about the time I became riveted by this amazing actress. She was fearless and always off the hook sexy no matter what age she was.

She also appeared in a certain cult movie called Caligula and if that isn't balls out I don't know what is?

Although she had deserved one for years before she won her first Oscar at sixty playing Queen Elizabeth II in what else, the Academy friendly The Queen. (you have to be toned down as an artist for this award people, let's face that.)

However the awesome Helen bounced back into the hot, sexy, rule breaking risk taker she always was by becoming one of the few female action stars who has had a hit movie Red, in her sixties no less, you go Dame Helen!

Recently she told the magazine Redbook, as she still busts down the walls at sixty-nine:

"I don't really know what a beauty routine is" 

"One thing I consistently use is Latisse [the prescription lash-growth serum]. It really works, and if your eyelashes look great, you can let a lot of other things be crap,"

"Kate Somerville face wash. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get quality stuff nowadays. A brand like L'Oréal has amazing technology."

She also addressed the rumor that she cuts her own hair:

"Not always, but yes, I can't handle going to the hairdresser every six weeks, so I only go about once a year. In between, I get out the scissors and do something, usually rather disastrously. Sometimes I'll even chop my hair the morning of a big red-carpet event."

There's Nothing Like A Dame, Dame Helen That Is:
