Helen Mirren on why she supports gay marriage...

.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamirren.jpgHelen Mirren is a pretty remarkable woman.

She won an Oscar, Emmy and just about every other award on the planet this year and each time, she managed to be gracious and original and funny. So I love her all the more after reading what she told US Magazine when it comes to gay marriage: “I think gays absolutely should have the right. For the same reason Taylor and I got married - to be able to say, by law, ‘This person is important to me.’ I used to say, ‘I have nothing against marriage, but to me it’s like turnips. They’re just not for me. And now I love being married. I love saying, ‘I’m going to see my husband tonight.’”

I gotta add what she says about boobs jobs because it's hysterical: “I absolutely believe in it [surgery]. Why feel miserable if you can change something? But breast implants are weird to me. They seem a bit like hanging a pair of oranges around your neck.”

Did you know that DAME Helen was 100% Russian?
