Helen Mirren's secret weapon is stripper heels

Academy award winning actress Helen Mirren has maintained her sex symbol tag over the decades and she says that her secret is stripper heels.

The 65-year-old, who was photographed looking toned in a bikini recently, said that she loves wearing six-inch platform heels, reported Daily Mail online.

"They give you great height and make your legs look unbelievably long. I used only to be able to get them in stripper shops, but now you can buy them everywhere, although, unfortunately, that means everyone else has discovered the trick too," said the actress.

The Queen star claims that despite being happy to strip off for a variety of roles over the years, even she has her body hang-ups.

"Bits of my body are all right, but bits of me are horrible. To be honest, anything from the waist down I dont really like," she said.

The actress also revealed that she has cut and dyed her trademark platinum blonde bob herself in her bathroom since the 1980s.

Teri Hatcher slices off her eyelashes with razor

In a grooming session that went awry, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher accidentally sliced off her eyelashes. Teri was cleaning up her eyebrows the night before she was to take part in the recent Nautica Malibu Triathlon in California, but the blade slipped and sliced through half of her lashes.

She also admitted that she was tired while cleaning up and felt lucky that she didn't hurt her eye. "I had one of those mini razors and so I (placed it on my brow) and in this millisecond I heard this sound, and I''d shaved off half of my eyelashes!" the Daily Star quoted Hatcher as saying.


For the time being, she has glued on fake lashes to avoid looking foolish while stepping out for swimming, biking and running the following day. During an appearance on U.S. daytime talk show 'The View', the actress showed her lashes and exclaimed, "So these are all fake!" she added.
