Interrupt Helen Mirren? You should think twiceIf you don't know better than to interrupt Helen Mirren when she's ... well, doing anything, we wager you get what's coming to you. A crew of drummers learned that lesson on Saturday when the actress stormed out of London's Gielgud Theatre to tell them to hush up - although she admits to the U.K.'s Telegraph that she used a few choice words to make her point.
The 67-year-old star had been on stage performing as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Audience" when the troupe of drummers, who were thumping away nearby to promote the "As One In the Park" gay music festival, became too loud to ignore. It was during the production's intermission that Mirren, fully dressed in her regal costume, stepped outside to give the crowd their marching orders. “I’m afraid there were a few 'thespian’ words used," Mirren told the Telegraph. "They got a very stern royal ticking off but I have to say they were very sweet and they stopped immediately. I felt rotten, but on the other hand they were destroying our performance so something had to be done." Mirren said that at one point she and her co-star, Paul Ritter, could barely hear one another speak. “I was so upset from struggling through the scene with Paul that I literally walked straight off stage, straight up the stairs and straight out the stage door and banged my way through the crowd who were watching and said 'Stop, you’ve got to stop right now,' only I might have used stronger language than that," "The Queen" star said. “They were very sweet and stopped the minute they knew I wasn’t just a batty old woman haranguing them on the streets of Soho on a Saturday night.”

Good to see that heterophobia is not strictly confined to the US. Sounds like she was well justified.

Jesus, I swear morning sh!ts smell worse than any other dump of the day. I wonder why that is?

If your 'humor' is just stupid and vulgar, repeating it does not make it funny.
Your humor is still stupid and vulgar. And you are boring.
Perfect for you...it's a loose/loose.

I was making an observation with a question, Pliny the Prude, and that was the first time I've made that particular comment. Tell me, oh wise puritanical one: why do YOU think morning bowel movements tend to be the smelliest?
is going too be so much fun...
You wouldn't call me a prude if you knew I like to take it in the poop chute...
sounds bribarian too me.
I took a dump this morning, and mixed in with the waste matter was a ribbed condom! Now how do you suppose it got there?
I suppose I should clarify that it was a USED condom...
you know this woman is georgous for her age. accomplished actress and still very beautiful ...
A Legend
