These are our favorite "Over-60" stars:
Helen Mirren: Err, I mean, DAME Helen Mirren, which means she's a knight, like a lady knight, and while I don't know what that means, it's probably really cool. Helen Mirren was voted the Sexiest Lady over the age 60 by AskMen.com and when Hollyscoop asked her about the honor she joked, "[It] sucks, I can't tell you. So depressed." The gracious 66 year-old has a hot bod too, which inspired SNL to create a digital short called "Helen Mirren's Boobs."
Kirstie Alley: I kind of forgot about Kirstie Alley for a while but then she appeared on "Dancing With The Stars" reportedly lost 100 pounds and is now strutting her stuff like some kind of 60-year-old show pony. Don't get me wrong, she looks super hot and is doing runway shows during fashion week for designer Zang Toi, she also is taking full advantage of her hotter-cougar status saying, "This is what I think about sex. I think it's fun to hookup every night for six months...Then it's time to move on!"

In Julie Taymor's version of 'The Tempest,' the gender of Prospero has been switched to Prospera.
Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft.
In Taymor's version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship
The movie is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 10, 2010. In the meanwhile, you can check out the trailer after the jump!

The 26-year-old pop star was given the honor for both her “beauty” and “success." A survey taken out on the cosmetic treatment review website, www.goodsurgeonguide.co.uk asked over 1,100 British women their views on a number of the world’s biggest celebrities.

Here are what some of the nominees had to say:
"I am completely surprised and elated. Rob Marshall is not only a genius but an absolute joy to work with. I woke up every morning excited to collaborate with this amazingly talented group of actors. Filming this movie was such a special experience and to be nominated for this role makes me so happy."
--Penelope Cruz on being nominated for Best Supporting Actress for 'Nine'
"I was asleep like a little tiny baby," the first-time nominee said in a telephone interview on the Today show Tuesday. "I think it's just so big that maybe when I am about 74, I'll have that moment in a grocery store with my walker and go, 'Oh, my God! This year has been mind-blowingly amazing!'"
--Sandra Bullock on being nominated for Best Actress for 'The Blind Side'
"What an honor to be nominated for this prestigious award. God blessed us"
--Mo'Nique tells Hollyscoop on being nominated for Best Actress for 'Precious'
"I am proud and grateful to stand with these women who have given such a range of beautiful, indelible performances this year!"
--Meryl Streep on being nominated for Best Actress for 'Julie & Julia'
"I'm very happy and honored for Christopher, myself and our film. I think Tolstoy himself would have been perplexed by all this, but, Sofya his wife would have been over the moon. So in that spirit, I am too."
--Helen Mirren on being nominated for Best Actress for 'The Last Station'
"I thought I was managing my expectations, but on hearing the news I discovered new and unfamiliar vocal tones. Perhaps I should do another musical."
--Colin Firth on being nominated for Best Actor for 'A Single Man'
"This is more exhilarating than I could have ever imagined. What a tremendous honor from the academy – a blazing stamp in the passport of an artist that can never be taken away and will always be cherished."
--Jeremy Renner on being nominated for Best Actor for 'The Hurt Locker'
"I'd love to say that 140 characters couldn't cover how I'm feeling right now but I'm honestly speechless." --Anna Kendrick via Twitter on being nominated for Best Supporting Actress for 'Up in the Air'

Blanchett beat out Helen Mirren and Sean Connery for the number one spot.
"Us Brits are a bunch of royalists at heart, so there's always a lot of anticipation for [The Young Victoria]," said Fliss White of lovefilm.com.
"With a huge amount of pressure on the actors to get the portrayal just right, it's a great achievement to see Cate at number one - clearly Emily Blunt has a lot to live up to!"
The top ten film royals are as follows:
1 Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth (1998)
2 Helen Mirren, The Queen (2006)
3 Sean Connery, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
4 Judi Dench, Mrs Brown (1997)

Well, missy has opened up about some skeletons in her closet, and one of them is her past love of the booger sugar.
Helen tells GQ magazine, "I used to do a bit of cocaine. I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little 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 f**king 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."
Most people just stop doing it because it gets too out of hand, and they find themselves doing too much of it all the time! But Helen just brought it to a whole nother level!

Mirren will also star in the film along side Joe Pesci.
