Who are we to judge a grande dame's unflinching, witty honesty?

Thinking that people might get the wrong idea once the tabs had gotten their hooks into Helen Mirren's candid remarks about cocaine use, date rape and stealing food while poor, the Oscar winner's rep has reminded us of the magic word:

Context.

"Helen Mirren does not dispute the accuracy of statements attributed to her in an upcoming GQ article," reads a statement released Tuesday by Mirren's publicist, Stan Rosenfield.

"She merely asks that people read the article in its entirety before drawing conclusions. If they do that, she says, their conclusions will likely be far less sweeping and sensational than those drawn by some in the popular press. She does not wish to qualify any of her remarks. She just wants to avoid having them presented in inflammatory language."

The queen of salty award-show chatter needn't fear—her lingo is entertaining enough on its own.

With about three months to go until Election Day, the presidential campaigns seem to get more and more twisted up with celebrity culture. Today, we get to add the loveable crazy-fierce Tyra Banks to the mess.

The talk-show host/model mentor poses as Michelle Obama in this September’s Harper’s Bazaar and offers up advice on how to be a good first lady, like, “know how to take a fierce picture but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken.”

See, Tyra really does know everything from smiling with your eyes to representing the country.

And the crazy don't stop there...

A smile goes a long way. Just ask Sarah Larson, George Clooney’s former girlfriend, who tells Hello! magazine she isn’t angry. NOT. ONE. BIT. Nope. Happy as a clam.

"I make good money. I have a house. I have all the things I've always wanted. I'm in a good place."

That’s right. No hard feelings, George. The former Vegas cocktail waitress and Christian Audigier model (her first billboard just went up Monday over the Ed Hardy boutique) will just take her big, TOTALLY UNBITTER smile to some other breathing lottery ticket. Thanks for the laughs.

The real reason why Brian Austin Green hasn't been angling for a guest spot on the new 90210 spinoff? He's way too tired.

“I really enjoy having sex, and that’s offensive to some people. Women are the quickest to call other women sluts, which I think is sad," Green's girlfriend and FHM's current No. 1 hottie Megan Fox says in a new online interview with the men's mag.

"I haven’t met a lot of men who have said, ‘You like having sex? What a dirty whore you are.’ I’m young and have a lot of hormones—I’m always in the mood! But I like sex with one person when I’m in a relationship. Sex with random people who I’ve met at clubs is not really my thing."

The Transformers star adds: "I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy. My sex drive is so high. I’d rather have sex with Brian all the time than leave the house. He doesn’t mind.”

Rolling Stone

How did Rolling Stone get sworn enemies L.C. and Heidi into the same room for this undie-tastic cover? We’re guessing it took ego soothing, cajoling and the mediation of several presidents—particularly the dead kind.

Or else some major Photoshop skills.

In any case, this Nair ad gone wrong features Whitney looking for her fallen contact lens, Lauren pretending to have fun, Audrina pretending she’s naked (she’s more comfortable that way) and Heidi suppressing the need to pee. Can I go now, Spencer?

It’ll probably sell wildly well. Or not at all. We’re kinda praying for the latter.
