Helen Mirren

[JanisJoplin 0]

I hear what you're saying and while I very much agree with you in theory, I guess my point is that money talks. Advertisers and publishers keep VERY close tabs on what increases and decreases sales. If they see that scrawny models impact sales negatively, TRUST ME, they'll start using healthier women so fast our heads would spin. Each time we make a purchase, we're voting with our dollars.

 

Money always talks, however, those who say that we should no longer buy the mags who endorse these ridiculously thin girls is correct. The problem with that is the age old question: How do you get people who b!tch about a common cause to ban together to do SOMETHING positive? People are fickle and their thoughts are fleeting. It is idealistic and comes from a good place but we will never shut down the "thin" mags as long as there are overweight teenagers with low self-esteem, who continue to dream skinny. The last time we did anything good with a major protest was the VietNam War(conflict). B/F you spew any venom, I am certainly not comparing the wage on weight with the wage of war. My point is that it is difficult in today's society to get people to unite for any reason. They can complain and express their opinions online, as I do, but to actually take action, it will most likely never happen. Organizing people for one cause is probably more difficult than brain surgery.

 

How I long for the old protest songs where the writers actually had something intelligent to sing about, and people were unafraid to peacefully protest in the streets. The only groups that I can think of who do this today is the Gay Pride parades and the Ku Klux Klan. Where are the rest of us utilizing our right to freedom of speech and peaceful protest of any kind? Simply, we have no majority in numbers to justify it. Not many have the guts of a Cindy Sheehan to start a grassroots organization for anything.

Dame Helen's Corgis Tipped To Score Canine Oscars

 

The corgis who played Dame Helen Mirren's companions in 2006's The Queen have been tipped to win the film yet another accolade - a Fido award. The five pups have been nominated for the Historical Hound category of this month's Fidos, a British award ceremony recognizing outstanding canine acting. The competition, held as part of the London Film Festival, sees the corgis go head-to-head with fellow movie mutts including the collie-mix owned by Samantha Morton's character in Control, and the brown hunting dog from French picture Moliere. Mirren says, "I loved those corgis because they were funny. I can understand why the Queen has them. Forget winning an Oscar, I'd be more proud of an award for dog handling."

Shocking film I saw at convent school made me swear I'd never be a mother, by Helen Mirren

 

Dame Helen Mirren is 'traumatised' to this day by a childbirth film she was shown as a convent schoolgirl

Dame Helen Mirren has revealed why she has never had children, blaming a shocking childbirth film she was shown as a convent schoolgirl.

 

The 62-year-old actress said the horror of that educational film deeply affected her, at a time that she was also learning about sex from 'nasty' boys.

 

There were added problems at home.

 

Her mother 'wasn't born to be a mother', saying 'hurtful, bitchy things' and making it impossible for her to take a boyfriend home.

 

Dame Helen, who won an Oscar for her lead role in The Queen, opened her heart to Australian television interviewer Andrew Denton.

 

The actress became known for her willingness to disrobe on screen, and her real-life sexual experiences were a focal point of the interview, during which she told of the childbirth film she was shown at St Bernard's High School in Southend.

 

Although it was a school for girls only, Dame Helen said that in the biology classes they were taught nothing about sexual reproduction.

 

Then came the occasion the class was driven by bus to a boys' school.

 

She was about 13 or 14, "just at that age when you're just beginning to be self-conscious about your physicality and about boys and all that.

 

"And they sat us all down, boys and girls, all about 13, 14 years old in this horrible school hall.

 

"And then this tweed-skirted dykey sort of woman, short cropped hair, comes on and says, 'I'm Dr Joyce' or whatever, 'and what you're about to see is one of the greatest miracles.

 

"I've seen it many times you know because I'm a doctor and giving birth is one of the most beautiful things'."

 

Dame Helen recalls how the group were wondering what she was talking about and then the film began.

 

To this day she can remember it - the whirring of the projector and a close-up of a woman having a baby.

 

"And that's all you see and these are 13-year-old boys and girls who can't look at each other anyway, and it's bloody and it's disgusting.

 

"And then occasionally a little subtitle comes up because there's no soundtrack. It says, 'Now prepare the rubber sheet'."

 

She said she had put her hands up to her face, realising she could not watch it.

Kit - Helen Mirren's mother

 

Her mother Kit: 'She could be horrible'

 

Within 30 seconds two boys had fainted and were carried out while the 'stupid woman' said: "Wasn't that wonderful? It's a miracle."

 

Dame Helen said: "I swear it traumatised me to this day. I haven't had children and now I can't look at anything to do with childbirth. It absolutely disgusts me."

 

Her early sexual experiences were no better. "They were crap because the men were crap. They were just nasty boys."

 

The interviewer asked: "And you truly think that film is the reason you didn't have kids?"

 

Dame Helen replied: "I think it's a lot to do with it, I think in deep proper psychological terms I was traumatised."

 

At home, her relationship with her mother Kit was tricky.

 

While she loved her mother, Kit could be 'quite horrible'.

 

"She was horrible, she could say very cruel things and it was difficult at home. She wasn't born to be a mother.

 

"She could be mean. She'd say just very, very hurtful, bitchy things.

 

"It was impossible for us ever to take a boyfriend home because they were just never good enough.

 

"I've sort of wiped it from my memory actually. Now the mother that I remember is the mother that I knew after the death of my father and that I loved very, very much and I spent a lot of time with."

 

For a long time, she agreed, she had no ambition to marry.

 

She spent 14 or 15 years with her future husband, film director Taylor Hackford, also 62, before marrying him.

 

"I wasn't anxious to get married. We realised, as we were together over a longer and longer and longer period of time, that probably we were going to stay together.

 

wasn't, 'Oh my god, I'd love to be married'. It was never that. I went into it very full of trepidation and worry."

 

The trepidation came, she said, because she did not feel the need to be married.

 

"I still don't quite see the point of marriage, and I don't talk about this from a religious point of view or moral point of view, but I absolutely did not see the point of getting married and then getting divorced.

 

"So I really didn't want to get married."

 

But marriage now feels right, she said. "No question, from the moment I woke up after I was married I realised that I loved it."

 

Dame Helen also referred to one other kind of love: That she felt for the corgis in her film The Queen. She said she adored them.

 

"I can absolutely understand why the Queen has them and has had them for all

Russell Crowe May 'Play' in Pitt's Place

'State of Play' to co-star Edward Norton, Rachel McAdams and Helen Mirren

November 30, 2007

 

 

Russell Crowe is in final negotiations to replace Brad Pitt in Universal's "State of Play."

 

Should Crowe sign on for the project, as The Hollywood Reporter is saying, it would save the adaptation of the British miniseries from a demise that seemed inevitable when Pitt exited last week.

 

The trade paper says that "State of Play" director Kevin Macdonald ("The Last King of Scotland") visited Crowe in Australia over the weekend to see if his film could be wedged in before the "Gladiator" star moved on to another Universal project, Ridley Scott's "Nottingham."

 

The actual result of those scheduling negotiations is a bit ambiguous, since the "Robin Hood" reimagining appears to be on Crowe's plate still.

 

Assuming the sides reach an agreement, Crowe would play a former political operative whose new job as a journalist takes a turn when he starts investigating a murder that may have ties to his former friend and colleague, an up-and-coming politician (Edward Norton).

 

Supporting roles are being filled by Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Robin Wright Penn, though Mirren's timetable is particular slim.

 

Pitt was the first talent attached to Matthew Michael Carnahan's script, but the A-lister was reportedly concerned that a series of script doctors -- including Peter Morgan, Tony Gilroy and Billy Ray -- had moved the project too far from the vision he originally committed to. After Pitt's departure, Universal sources told the trades that the studio might still sue the actor for violating his play-or-pay deal.

 

Crowe has had a busy fall, earning strong reviews for the western "3:10 to Yuma" and generating big box office with "American Gangster." He's currently finishing work with the political drama "Body of Lies."

HELEN MIRREN - MIRREN HAS NO REGRETS OVER CHILDREN

 

DAME HELEN MIRREN refused to join Britain's Women's Institute (WI) organisation - because she didn't want to have children.

The Oscar winner admits she struggled to play Tricia Stewart in the 2003 movie Calendar Girls, which tells the tale of a group of WI members who strip off to pose for a charity calendar.

While researching her role, Mirren found it hard to relate to the members the WI, which largely caters to housewives and mothers in need of some social interaction. She says, "The Women's Institute women are wonderful, but they could have risen to the very top.

It's just that they have not chosen that route and instead have got married and had children. "I did not and do not think that children were me.

I have not changed me mind with age. The WI wasn't my scene."

HELEN MIRREN - MIRREN AVOIDS AIRPORT ENCOUNTERS

 

HELEN MIRREN hates getting recognised at airports - because her luggage is so "scruffy".

The Oscar-winning British actress insists her encounters with fans are usually "sweet", but she'd rather they leave her alone when she's waiting for her luggage at an airport or in line for the loo.

She tells America's More magazine, "There are only two really tough times to be recognised - one is when you're waiting for your luggage in the airport, and the other is when you are standing in line for the ladies.

"Then you're a captive and you either give up your place in line or you pretend that you don't want your luggage after all. "And then the embarrassment of my scruffy luggage when it does come out."

Society is still deeply misogynistic and anti-feminist. You need no better example than look at how the media mistreats Hillary Clinton and the pathological hatred of her (which seems to derive from nothing except she's a strong, smart, opinionated woman).

Love, love, love HER! And she looks fucking fabulous, as usual.

 

(I tried to post a pic of her but it's "dynamic" or something like that so it won't post. *sigh* Just when I figure out how to put up the damn pics and everything was going great. Anyway, the link works and she looks better than half the botoxed bitches in this town. Make that three quarters - at least.)

Helen Mirren's Keith Moon Regret

 

Helen Mirren turned down the chance to perform on stage with late The Whodrummer Keith Moon, after he broke into her West End theatre dressing room.

 

The British actress was performing in a 1974 London production of a David Hare play, when she was confronted by the hell-raiser, who was desperate to perform in her backing band.

 

She tells talk show host Conan O'Brien, "I did a play about the rock and roll business called Teeth and Smiles. I was playing the Janis Joplin character. One night I was about to go on, and I heard this incredible crashing and banging coming from the ally where the stage door is. I looked out the back, and this completely drunken guy was climbing out of a trash can, covered in trash and with a pin-striped suit on. A complete madman. Then I heard the crashing and banging coming through the stage door, and up the stairs. It stopped outside the dressing room."

 

"I opened the door and it was Keith Moon. He said, 'Hello darling, I hear you're wonderful in this play.' I said, 'It's nice to meet you, but I have to go onstage now.' He said, 'That's all right, I'll come with you. I'll come and play in your band.' I'm so idiotic. I said, 'No, you can't.' That's why I'm not rock 'n' roll."

 

"One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't play on stage with Keith Moon."

"I THINK legal prostitution is the way to go, given the awful, horrendous traffic in women and the danger of girls being out on the street, so vulnerable to pimps and johns. In a legal brothel, they're licensed, they're protected, and the johns are protected because they know the girls have to be medically checked every week" - Helen Mirren, who was just in Reno filming "Love Ranch," in Time magazine.

Mirren: 'Women Do Not Lose Sex Appeal'

 

Helen Mirren believes women do not forfeit their sex appeal as they age.

 

The 62-year-old, who is still considered a sex symbol, said older people are still attractive but in a different way to the young.

 

She told Time: "I don't think women do lose their so-called sex appeal. It just shifts into a different arena.

 

"There's no question, you know, full on sex appeal is for the young - it is. That's nature. And so it should be. But older men and older women, when they say sex appeal I don't think they really mean sex.

 

"I think they're talking about some indefinable thing that has to do with appreciation of life, wisdom, and all kinds of things. There should be a special word for it."

 

Mirren, who recently shot brothel movie Love Ranch for husband Taylor Hackford, also revealed that she thinks prostitution should be legalised.

 

She said: "I definitely think [it's] the way to go, given the awful, horrendous trafficking of women and the danger of girls being out on the street, so vulnerable to pimps and 'johns'."

 

Mirren was given an award by the USA Naturist Society last month.

HELEN MIRREN SAYS SHE USED TO LOVE COCAINE

 

 

Holy Moly

 

It seems the oldies have had enough of the likes of Pete and Amy grabbing all the available column inches for druggy celebrities, as Helen Mirren has staked her claim by revealing that she used to love a bit of the old nose bag.

 

 

 

 

She may be a Dame now, but actress Helen Mirren didn't always behave like a Lady.

 

The 63-year-old has been talking about her love of cocaine, which she gave up in the 1980s after finding out that Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie was living as a drugs baron in Boliva.

 

 

She said: "I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a bit at parties.

 

"But what ended it for me was when they caught Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early eighties.

 

"He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.

"And I read that in the paper, and all the cards fell into place and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this fucking horrible man in South America.

 

"And from that day I never touched cocaine again. Until that moment I had never grasped the full horrifying structure of what brings coke to our parties in Britain."

 

 

But the 'Prime Suspect' actress, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Elizabeth II in 'The Queen, doesn't have Amy's appetite for the wacky backy.

 

 

"Dope always made me feel miserable and paranoid and unhappy."

Oscar winner Helen Mirren: I was date-raped

 

(CNN) -- Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren has revealed that she was date-raped when she was a student.

Dame Helen Mirren

 

Helen Mirren has previously spoken about a bad experience she had after taking drugs in her early 20s.

 

In an interview with Britain's GQ magazine, the 63-year-old also admitted to using cocaine at parties until she was forced to quit in the early 1980s.

 

Mirren, who picked up an Academy Award last year for her starring role in "The Queen," said she was date-raped "a couple of times" when she was young but did not report the attacks because "you couldn't do that in those days."

 

Despite her experiences, the British-born actress said date-rape was a "tricky area" and something men and women had to work out between themselves.

 

She said it was rape if a couple engaged in sexual activity but the woman said "no" at the last second. Video Watch as Mirren's comments spark anger »

 

However, in comments likely to anger anti-rape campaigners, she added, "I don't think she can have that man into court under those circumstances. I guess it is one of the subtle parts of the men/women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them."

 

Mirren also spoke of her "love" for cocaine during the interview for the October edition of GQ but claimed that she gave up the drug after learning that a leading Nazi war criminal had been profiting from the drug.

Helen Mirren Shockers: I 'Loved Coke' & Was Date Raped

 

Helen Mirren makes some startling revelations – she was date raped more than once and has tried several illegal drugs – in a revealing new interview with the British edition of GQ.

 

"I was, yes. A couple of times," the Oscar-winning Queen actress says in the October issue, recalling her experiences being raped as a youth in London. "Not with excessive violence, or being hit, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will."

 

And while Mirren defended a woman's right to say "no" at any point, she's not always in favor of reporting such attacks.

 

"I don't think [a woman] can have that man into court under those circumstances," she continued, "It's such a tricky area, isn't it? Especially if there is no violence. I mean, look at Mike Tyson. I don't think he was a rapist."

 

Mirren, 63, also admits she took illegal drugs – including marijuana and LSD – as a teen. "I loved coke," she continues. "I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties." (She also says she hasn't touched the drug in more than 20 years.)

 

"Dope always made me feel miserable and paranoid and unhappy," she adds. "And I woke up one day and thought, 'No more of that, thank you.' "

 

Mirren also, according to the Associated Press, used to steal during her "very poor" youth. "I needed to shoplift for food," she says and, even now that she's wealthy, still has frugal instincts, including cutting her own hair and wearing dollar-store glasses.

 

In less scandalous news, the actress also opens up about finally meeting Queen Elizabeth II, whom she depicted in her Oscar-winning performance.

 

"She said, 'Hello, it's lovely to meet you," Mirren said of their encounter at the Royal Ascot horseracing event earlier this year. "And that was about it, other than horsey chat."

 

She also spoke with the Queen's husband, Prince Phillip, who "just talked about the sandwiches."

Helen Mirren: 'My Figure is Down to Exercise'

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

British actress Helen Mirren has blasted claims she relies on nutritionists to maintain her svelte figure, insisting she stays in shape by exercising.

 

The star, 63, hit the headlines in July after she was pictured sporting a red bikini.

 

And while she admits she did look good in the photo, Mirren was "cross" at the media's suggestion she hires a team of fitness gurus to keep the flab at bay.

 

She said, "I looked at that photo - I swear to you - I looked at that photo and thought, maybe if I exercise I could look like that.

 

"I started exercising the next day and I thought, 'Ooh, maybe I'll actually look like that if I do exercise.' But I don't.

 

"What made me a bit cross was people saying, 'Oh, it's easy for her, she's got [personal] trainers'.

 

"And what was that other thing I read? Nutritionists! It's so not true. Everyone who knows me just fell off their chairs laughing at the idea."

Helen Mirren denies writing sex book

 

British actress Dame Helen Mirren has scoffed at rumors she's planning to write a book about sex - insisting an "offhand comment" was simply taken out of context.

 

Recent reports suggested the 64-year-old actress was penning a tome about bedroom romps.

 

And though she admits entertaining the idea of writing her own novel, the star insists her prose won't be X-rated.

 

She tells the New York Post, "Please! No! Sometimes you make an offhand comment to someone somewhere and it gets handed down.

 

"But I would someday like to do a book. A whole different kind. A novel. I love the process. It came so easily to me when I sat down to write something, and took me by surprise because I didn't know I'd enjoy it so much. But writing about love and sex? Not until I'm dead."

Since we deleted Celebrity Encounters...I happened to see at Jonah Hex premiere a few weeks ago...(for the record, Josh Brolin is tiny and has a huuuuuge head!!!) her and her hubby, Taylor Hackford being stopped by security, who didn't know who they were...so I was able to tell convince security to let them through. Mirren is gorgeous in person...I couldn't take my eyes off her and she smiled as they took it all in fun. I barely looked at her husband even though he directed one of my favorite movies, Dolores Claiborne.

 

They seemed like nice people and didn't pitch a, "DO YOU KNOW WHO THE HELL WE ARE..'TUDE?"...which is a breath of fresh air.
