Helen Mirren: body of the year

Helen Mirren tops LA fitness poll to win best body title

by Bernadette Fallon

Not only is Helen Mirren this month's Good Housekeeping cover star, topping the magazine's 'Fab over 50' list, she's recently been named 'Best body of the year' by gym chain LA Fitness. She beat - wait for it - a woman with 'body in her name, Elle 'The Body' Macpherson. I wonder what will Elle be now, maybe just 'The Hair'? She does have excellent hair - you can even find out her style tricks here.

Helen also beat Kelly Brook, a woman well known for a curve or two, Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton (who might as well have been known as 'The Bottom' earlier this year). So, Helen proves she doesn't just shine among her peers - she can give the young 'uns a run for their money too. See our favourite Helen moments here ...
