KELLY BROOK seems to understand why she lost out to DAME HELEN MIRREN in a recent best body survey.
Speaking as she hosted the Bulmers Cider Garden v1 event in London, Kel laughed: “Helen Mirren has better boobs than me. I can’t beat her because she has got great tits and an Oscar.
“How could I beat that? Helen is my inspiration in life. Maybe if I get them out a few more times, I’ll get an Oscar too.

Helen Mirren Film Movie at Supreme Courthouse
t’s not everyday that Don Michael Corleone, Tony Montana, Frank Serpico and Lt. Col. Frank Slade all walk into the Supreme Courthouse in Mineola.
The embodiment of the roles, actor Al Pacino, along with fellow Oscar-winner Helen Mirren and a cast of extras and crew members numbering more than 100 descended upon the courthouse Monday and Tuesday for a location shoot for the movie about infamous music producer Phil Spector.
The still untitled HBO biopic centers around Spector (Pacino) and his relationship with his defense attorney Linda Kenney Baden (Mirren) while on trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson, who was found dead in Spector’s California mansion. Jeffrey Tambor (The Hangover, Hellboy) is also starring as Bruce Cutler, another of Spector’s defense attorneys.
Spector was convicted in 2009 of second degree murder and is currently serving a sentence of 19 years to life.
Originally Bette Midler was cast in the role of Baden, but withdrew after suffering a herniated disc.
Monday Mirren could be seen shooting part of a scene in which she arrives at the California courthouse in front of a crowd of protesters. Staged seals were placed next to the entrances of the court building with the California state seal on them and palm trees decorated the driveway to the southern entrance.
County Executive Ed Mangano also made an appearance Monday, saying that the on-location shooting would net the county an additional $10,000 in revenues. Mangano’s three sons also were present on set and made into extras as part of the crowd scene.
The rest of the footage filmed focused on Pacino's and Mirren’s interactions coming and going from the courthouse during the various trials. Spector was tried twice, the first ending in a mistrial as the result of a hung jury.
The court remained open without disruption during the entire shoot at the southern entrance.
The movie is expected to premiere on HBO sometime in 2012.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Já tem data para estrear
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ainda tem quase um ano pela frente, antes de estrear, mas a Sony Pictures já está marcando a estreia da continuação, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
A estratégia visa reservar datas importantes da alta temporada hollywoodiana, para desestimular a concorrência. No caso, a Sony agendou o lançamento para 2 de maio de 2014.
A primeira semana de maio sempre foi, tradicionalmente, ocupado pelo Homem-Aranha, ao longo da trilogia de Sam Raimi. A exceção é o recomeço de O Espetacular Homem-Aranha, que chega às telas em 3 de julho de 2012.
O Espetacular Homem-Aranha 2 ainda não tem roteiristas contratados.
Helen Mirren is Hot
Helen Mirren is an Oscar-winner and a Dame. According to certain episode of 30 Rock, she's also a wizard -- a theory we happen to support, even if it was founded by a fictional character. (How else to explain how good she looks in a bikini?)
Mirren's latest accomplishment? She's your Body of the Year for 2011.
Body of the Year, huh? It's a title you probably never heard of before now. (When -- oh, when -- will online polls sponsored by fitness club franchises earn the same gravitas as People's annual Most Beautiful list?!)
But 2,000 participants in an online survey sponsored by L.A. Fitness have spoken (or clicked), and -- as dodgy as the poll's pedigree may seem -- we fully endorse the results.
Mirren, 66, leads the ladies' list, her physique (and mastery of the rack-preserving arts) gaining her 17.65 per cent of the vote.

Helen Mirren the bikini queen reigns supreme
Most women only a few days away from their 63rd birthday would be steering well clear of the beach.
And if they did venture there, it would be in the most modest of concealing attire.
Dame Helen Mirren, however, is happy to flaunt her enviable curves and flat stomach in a bikini.
Yet this was no retouched studio shot, with the only work to transform her toned body having been carried out during gruelling hours in the gym.
Dame Helen is holidaying in Puglia, on the southern tip of Italy, with her film director husband Taylor Hackford, 63.
She bought the 500-year-old building and grounds near Lecce for around £680,000 and immediately drew up big plans for the estate with refurbishment work starting last summer.
The property was uninhabitable, with tumbledown walls and a driveway that was little more than a dirt track.
Her new Italian home is surrounded by high fortified walls and has a mature vineyard within its grounds. The Mediterranean can be seen half a mile away.
Dame Helen also owns an enormous home in California and a property by the Thames in Wapping, East London.
I can’t recall ever seeing a woman of 63 wearing a bikini. That doesn’t mean I haven’t seen one, just that I have probably blocked out the memory, but I am sure if they looked as good as Helen Mirren does in these pics, she’d warrant a second glance…
I think I can safely say that she totally fits into the GILF category; I would say GGILF, but I am not sure there even is one of them.
This is the same woman who played the Queen and won her an Oscar. She definitely was not sexy in that role.She is now a Dame and even has her own castle in Italy, so she does have Queenly manners, if not a Queenly figure.
See ladies, it is not hard to look good
OK, I gotta go and look at some young chicks now, just to get back on track, this granny stuff is starting to become a little disturbing.
Before I go, here is another pic for you.

How does she do it? Dame Helen Mirren looked sensational while holidaying in Puglia, Italy this week
It seems hard to believe that this is the same actress whose portrayal of the Queen won her an Oscar. Yet this was no retouched studio shot, with the only work to transform her toned body having been carried out during gruelling hours in the gym.

Bikini queen: The actress flaunted her enviable curves
She bought a castle in the neighbourhood to celebrate her 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress. She bought the 500-year-old building and grounds near Lecce for around £680,000 and immediately drew up big plans for the estate with refurbishment work starting last summer.
The property was uninhabitable, with tumbledown walls and a driveway that was little more than a dirt track.
One is cooling off: Helen takes a dip
When the couple first visited the nearby village of Tiggiano to greet locals and - once they heard - civic officials, the welcome was so warm that a baker even made her a cake decorated with a scene from The Queen. Her new Italian home is surrounded by high fortified walls and has a mature vineyard within its grounds. The Mediterranean can be seen half a mile away.

Helen Mirren has the sexiest body on planet
She's 66 years old. She has an Academy Award for playing a decidedly frumpy Queen Elizabeth. Her last movie role was as the elderly spinster nanny to Russell Brand's playboy millionaire in "Arthur." And she's officially got the best body in the world. Dame Helen Mirren, what was it like when they created you on Mount Olympus?
When the gym chain LA Fitness polled 2,000 members on the sexiest male and female physiques on the planet, you'd expect renowned hotties like Nicole Scherzinger and this year's It Girl, Pippa Middleton, to make the list. And they did. But who'd have guessed that Inspector Jane Tennyson would blow away the competition for the top spot? Or that 48-year-old Elle Macpherson would come in second, and 42-year-old Jennifer Lopez would land in fourth? And lest you thinking defying Father Time is for the ladies, the male list is decidedly unyouthful too, with Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, David Hasselhoff and Simon Cowell all making appearances. Note to gravity: YOU LOSE.
Now, an LA Fitness poll isn't exactly the ne plus ultra of scientific inquiry, and it's not as if Helen Mirren's off-the-charts level of foxiness is going to change Victoria's Secret fashion shows or Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues. You need only do a comparative perusal of the Maxim 100, where teenagers like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are holding their own against a variety of Kardashians and models, to know that dewy, voluptuous youth never goes out of favor.
There's something defiantly cheeky and provocative about the LA Fitness poll results -- a little like, oh, I don't know, declaring Mirren's costar Russell Brand the sexiest man of the year. Look at us! Thinking outside the box! No wonder LA Fitness's marketing director Tony Orme told the Hollywood Reporter this week that "It's great to see the public celebrating bodies of all shapes and sizes, and proving that you really can look fabulous over 40 and 50."
That's really the point here, isn't it? A beautiful body at 18 is all but a birthright, but one at 60 is the result of damn hard work and incredibly serendipitous genetics. And indeed Mirren declared last year that her "best friend" is her Wii Fit.

Os Guardiões da Galáxia pode ser um dos próximos projetos da Marvel
A Marvel já está arregaçando as mangas na adaptação de seus personagens menos conhecidos. Além de “Homem-Formiga” e “Doutor Estranho”, o estúdio pode já ter começado a trabalhar na adaptação de “Os Guardiões da Galáxia”.
A equipe de super-heróis, que surgiu em 1969 e foi relançada em 2008, é formada por Major Vance Astro, Capitão Charlie-27, Martinex T’Naga e Yondu Udonta. Os personagens ja se encontraram diversas vezes com os membros do universo de “Os Vingadores” como Thor e Capitão América, mas não se sabe se o estúdio pretende reuni-los nas telonas algum dia.
Nos quadrinhos, eles formam uma equipe que patrulha por um universo paralelo e tem como principais rivais uma raça reptiliana chamada Badoon, que fazia uso da invisibilidade para invadir e conquistar a Terra.
Ainda não há informações sobre quem vai dirigir ou roteirizar o projeto.

The Smiths terá suas músicas transformadas em HQs
The Smiths terá suas músicas transformadas em histórias em quadrinhos. A iniciativa é de Shawn Demumbrum, residente de Phoenix, Arizona, que reuniu um time de colaboradores em uma antologia, chamada Unite and Take Over, que usará cada canção como inspiração para um arco dramático, em que os compositores Morrisey eJohnny Marr serão os heróis.
O plano de Demumbrum é lançar a HQ em novembro, durante a Tucson Comic-Con, e para isso lançou uma campanha para arrecadar dinheiro por meio de um site decrowdfunding e assim bancar os custos de impressão e licenciamento das letras das músicas.
Serão 13 histórias no total e não há grandes nomes entre os escritores e desenhistas, mas há veteranos dos quadrinhos independentes, como Christian Vilaire, Henry Barajas, Jeff Pina e Shelby Robertson. Confira abaixo a "set list" da HQ:
"Death at One's Elbow" - Glen Curren e Madame M"Shoplifters of the World Unite" - Shawn Demumbrum e Matt Goodall"Rubber Ring" - Dennmann"Girlfriend in a Coma" - JP Manzanares"Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" - Henry Barajas e Christian Vilaire"Cemetry Gates" - Libbi Rich e Mickey Chaney"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" - Emily Rich e Jenn Fuguet"How Soon is Now?" - Foo! e Sam Lagreen"Pretty Girls Make Graves" - Thomas Healy e Justin Miller"Panic" - Matthew Burke e Joshua Green"What Difference Does It Make?" - Michael Kessler e Jeff Pina"Handsome Devil" – Shelby Robertson"Suffer Little Children" – John Chibak
