It seems like just yesterday when I was talking about Golden Globes, and now Helen Mirren has been crowned as the world’s sexiest older woman by her faithful fans.

The Queen actress, 61, who has bagged the top Oscar nod for her lauded performance as Her Majesty, tops a list of female stars who have passed the over-50 mark.

She has won the race, beating out none other than Sophia Loren, one of cinema’s greatest sex symbols. The Italian screen siren, 72, came in second in the poll.

US star Meryl Streep, 57, also contending for the best actress Oscar for her role in The Devil Wears Prada, was third, followed by Judi Dench, 72, another of this year’s Academy Award nominees.

Diane Keaton, 61, rounded off the top five.

In the men’s category, Something’s Gotta Give actor Jack Nicholson, 69, has been voted the sexiest older man.

Bond legend Sean Connery, 76, was next, followed by Robert Redford, 70, Clint Eastwood, 76, and Dreamgirls star Danny Glover, 60, in the poll of 2,700 film fans.

"Older actors have never been so sought after in Tinseltown and it’s great to see the Brits flying the flag so high, especially in the Oscar nominations," said Fliss White, marketing manager for Lovefilm.com, which carried out the survey.

Lindsay Lohan went shopping today with yet another daily break from rehab. The cross around her neck is just jewelry, and no she has not found religion, except once in a bottle.

It’s Academy Award time, so how did Lindsay Lohan do in the competition? Dreamgirls picked up eight Academy Award nominations, but failed to land the best picture category. It’s been a long time since a good musical was made.

The film Babel was close behind with seven nominees, including best picture and best supporting actress nods for newcomers Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi, although Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt was shut out completely.

On July 26, 2006 Lindsay Lohan was rushed to the hospital after passing out on the set of Georgia Rule, momager Dina Lohan gave an interview at that time to Access Hollywood and said:

"I feel when you are 19 (years old) it is way out of line… Maybe he has personal issues with whomever and it came out with my child. I don’t know him. I can’t judge him. I don’t think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl."

When asked if there was any truth to claims in the letter, Dina came to her daughter’s defense saying, "Lindsay was in 105 (degree weather) saying, ’Mommy, I feel sick; like I am going to faint.’ She took herself to the hospital. She has asthma and in extreme cold or heat you can’t breathe."

Dina added, "…I’m a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child…I don’t feel it should be aired out and everyone should know. It’s personal."

When asked about accusations in the letter that Lindsay’s "…ongoing all night heavy partying" was responsible for her not showing up on set, Dina said, "Lindsay gets to work late, OK… She’s a human being. There was one day when she was late and they worked the schedule around her. Garry (Marshall, the film’s director), Jane (Fonda, her co-star), everybody loves her."

"As far as Lindsay’s health is concerned, she’s fine and she is back on set…. She will win an Academy Award for this picture… Justice!"

Here we are on judgment day, and so far Lindsay has only been nominated in the Razzies, and is competing with Sharon Stone in the worst actress category are sisters Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff for Material Girls, Lindsay Lohan for Just My Luck, Kristanna Loken for BloodRayne, and Jessica Simpson for Employee of the Month. Justice!

Where is Lohan now? Lohan is at Wonderland Center for alcohol treatment, and was allowed to leave yesterday long enough to attend an Alcoholic’s Anonymous meeting (see pictures above and below). If Lohan wins an award, it isn’t going to be an Academy Award, but maybe it could be for being alcohol and drug free. That would be a step and the right direction. Dina Lohan herself has her own issues, and is not the kind of person that will help Lindsay stay off drugs and alcohol. When Lindsay gets out she needs to dump her friends that buy the 20 year old alcohol, and that includes her momager.

A truncated list of Academy Award nominees are below:

Helen Mirren did win two Golden Globe Awards, but that’s not what stood out the most. It was a bit odd to see Mirren wear a low cut dress that showed off her gray haired cleavage. As hard as I want to believe grandpas and grandmas are not sexual, Mirren has sent out the message that sexy still exists into the golden years, hence the term golden globes.
