Helen Mirren Says Tomatoes Are Bisexual

by

Helen Mirren is sharing some little-known knowledge about tomatoes.

During the August 11th episode of The Tonight Show, Helen made an interesting observation as Jimmy Fallon was preparing homemade salsa: “A tomato is capable of producing both male and female parts.” This remark left the audience in awe.

The 80-year-old actress from “The Thursday Murder Club,” who shared the screen with Pierce Brosnan, revealed on a late-night talk show that she stumbled upon this finding quite recently, following some issues while growing her own tomatoes at home.

Helen suggested a piece of advice for you regarding tomato growth. She explained that if you notice the small flower, a helpful method to extract a tomato from it is by gently shaking or vibrating the flower.

However, when the Oscar-winning actress showcased her unusual gardening tip using her index finger, Jimmy, aged 50, dismissed it as implausible.

Jimmy, who is 50 years old, disregarded the questionable gardening trick demonstrated by the Oscar-winning actress using only her index finger.

“Stop doing that,” he responded with an uneasy laugh. “I’m not doing that at all to my tomatoes.”

Interestingly enough, Helen makes a valid observation. It seems that tomato flowers are known as “complete flowers” due to their unique characteristic – they possess both male and female reproductive components, as supported by studies conducted at the University of Maryland.

Indeed, the study revealed that approximately 96% of tomato pollination occurs naturally, with assistance often provided by wind, insects, or what Helen referred to as a slight “shaking.

As an ardent admirer, I must say that the star of ‘1923’ hasn’t just delved into gardening for wisdom, but her insights extend far beyond that. In April 2024, she opened up about the journey of growing older, viewing it as a beacon of “wisdom” herself. She graciously shared her thoughts on embracing the aging process, making it a source of inspiration for many.

My mother once shared something insightful with me: “Don’t fear growing older.” She expressed this sentiment exclusively to TopMob News at one point. As for someone who is 18, middle age seems light-years away, a distant land. But as time passes and you find yourself in that land, you come to understand that it offers many wonderful experiences. You might even discover that you prefer this new place over the one you left behind.

Jason Kelce posted on Twitter in June 2024, commenting on a fan observation that he appears to not regularly clean his lower legs and feet, by humorously questioning, “Who on earth cleans just their upper body and leaves the feet out?

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

In a light-hearted manner, he joked during their podcast “New Heights,” saying, “What type of psychopath would wash someone’s feet?” He further explained, “If there’s any dirt, I’d gently clean it off.

For over a decade, the actor who played in Twilight has been claiming that he witnessed a clown dying in a car blast at the circus when he was a kid, but recently confessed that this account was not accurate.

According to his interview with The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024, Robert expressed without the slightest pause, “It was as if I was asking myself, ‘What in the world is happening? Are you under some sort of spell?’

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He shared that one of the clowns met an unfortunate accident. Specifically, his miniature vehicle burst into flames. Unfortunately, the explosion happened right to the clown, causing alarm. People quickly evacuated the area, as it was a very frightening situation.

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian openly discussed in the October 2022 episode of ‘The Kardashians’ how her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell played a role in a private moment she shared with her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, by offering some advice.

Last weekend, Pete and I spent our time at the Beverly Hills Hotel. We found ourselves seated near the fireplace, engaged in a lengthy conversation. As I reminisced, I shared with MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian that I had mentioned to Pete, “My grandmother always said that true living comes when you make love by the fireplace.” True to her advice, we chose to celebrate this tradition by sharing an intimate moment in front of the fireplace, in tribute to their shared experiences.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase that sentence to something like this:

“It can feel unsettling when personal boundaries are blurred during intimate moments. For instance, I find myself reflecting on my grandmother at times like these, which feels odd. However, it’s essential to remember we were all young once.

In my perspective, the profound love within our family – Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Wyatt (our 8-year-old daughter), and Dimitri (our 6-year-old son) – transcends all limits. We’re not just a family; we’re a tightly-knit unit that cherishes every moment together.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She informed TopMob News in September 2022 that the topic also encompasses the bathroom. In essence, it’s a subject where, whether positively or negatively, our family and children have made bodily functions a common, everyday aspect of life.

Mila agreed to let them in after repeated requests from her family at the door. She essentially said, ‘Alright then, I might as well leave the door open.’

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She expressed, “I wouldn’t have imagined myself as someone who could use an open bathroom door.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During a October 2022 episode of The View, as the panelists discussed footage about a woman claiming to have “sexual ghosts” in her home, Sara Haines posed an intriguing question to the group: “Could a person conceive if they engage in intimate relations with a ghost?

As her ally, I was fortunate to witness Joy Behar providing a response. She humorously mentioned, “I’ve shared intimate moments with a handful of spirits, but none led to pregnancy.

In response, Whoopi Goldberg simply chose not to address the issue raised by Joy. Instead, she decided to leave the matter as it was.

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb share a close bond, yet there’s one thing Hoda was unaware of regarding her co-host on the Today show. During preparations for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda found out that Jenna often doesn’t wear underwear.

During a November 2022 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda remarked that they both needed to change before the show. She continued by saying, ‘I realized though, Jenna doesn’t usually wear undergarments.’

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She remarked that it creates a more aesthetically pleasing outline,” she said. “Additionally, she found it less cumbersome as it requires less packing. There are numerous advantages to this!

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears admitted that she was unaware of who Pete Davidson and Scott Disick were, finding herself in a similar situation as Keke Palmer when she famously said, “he could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing.

Sharing on Instagram again an amusing video from March featuring Pete, who was previously dating Kim Kardashian and Scott (Kourtney Kardashian’s ex), Britney found their antics highly entertaining.

Apologies for the repeat, but !

Before the globe celebrated Chris Evans as Captain America and People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, I had the pleasure of knowing him as the charming, adorable guy I went out on a few dates with back then.

As a lifestyle enthusiast looking back, over a decade has passed since I had the chance to cross paths with that renowned singer. During a heart-to-heart conversation on her “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” podcast in November, she opened up about our brief history together. Regrettably, the exact number of dates we shared slips my memory, but I do have a vivid recollection of our final encounter.

At that time, Jana who was approximately 26 years old, shared that Chris had invited her to his home, as he was hosting friends who were visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled her last clear memory being him entering the bathroom shortly after she left, having just produced urine with an unmistakable asparagus odor. They didn’t spend the night together. He continued socializing late into the evening with friends, and in the morning, she left his house, mimicking the classic ‘asparagus walk of shame.’

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

Eight years after revealing in an article for ELLE magazine that she had been fighting a rare form of bone cancer, it turned out that show writer Elisabeth Finch’s diagnosis was false. This fabricated story served as the basis for a plotline on Grey’s Anatomy. She confessed to the deception in December.

In a conversation with The Ankler newsletter on December 7, Elizabeth shared that she told a lie when she was 34 years old, and it turned out to be the most regrettable decision of her life. Over time, this lie grew larger and more burdensome, eventually becoming deeply ingrained within her. However, she clarified that she has never had any form of cancer.

Finch, who had been suspended from his role in the ABC medical drama and later stepped down, stated bluntly, “What I did was wrong, not acceptable, a mistake – simply put, I messed up.

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

In simpler terms, the reality star openly shared with The New York Times that she’s prepared to experiment with numerous methods to achieve a more youthful look.

In June, she stated that if she were told she needed to eat feces daily for a younger appearance, she might consider it. She added, “I could very well do so.

During an interview with Allure in July 2022, Kim explained that her initial statement was more of a joke, but the concept itself wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

However, upon reflection, Kim remarked, “In truth, I might even consume filth if someone said to me, ‘Eat this daily bowl of waste, and you’ll appear more youthful.’

As a devoted follower, I shared with the publication that perhaps a small morsel might suffice. A full serving, I believe, would be beyond my capacity at this time.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During a guest spot on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in April 2025, the artist known for singing “Save Me” openly shared his most mortifying experience without mincing words.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

However, it’s important to note that Jelly Roll (born Jason Bradley DeFord) wasn’t anticipating such a severe impact.

He firmly asserted, “I believed it was nothing but thin air.” Apologetically, he added, “Regrettably, I saw the audience transition from adoring me to utterly indifferent.
