When Helen Mirren dropped some knowledge- and some f-bombs- on a group of drummers playing outside her theatre, she wants it made very clear she was NOT attacking their cause!

The performers were trying to drum up attention for their LGBT pride festival called As One In The Park. And Helen is all for that!

So the Dame made sure to let everyone know she supported the cause with a friendly T-shirt advertising the fest.

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see the thoughtful, homemade, 100% cotton apology!

We think the message is pretty darn clear! She says:

The Tony Award nominee list is out! And it looks like this just might be Cyndi Lauper’s year! Her musical collaboration with Harvey Fierstein, resulting in the new Broadway hit Kinky Boots, is garnering quite the attention with 13 Tony nominations!

What’s more? Tweens are dominating the musical theater awards with 12 nods for Matilda, 10 for Pippin and 9 for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella!

But we’re have to admit we’re a little stumped by the play nominees! While Tom Hanks has got himself a Best Actor in a Play nomination, that list is looking a little empty. Where’s Al Pacino?! As for the ladies, no Bette Midler?!

Ch-ch-check out the full nomination list…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Lindsay Lohan is days away from heading off to rehab where she will be treated for certain conditions she claims to NOT have — alcoholism, substance abuse — and we wanna know…

HOW is she spending her final hours of freedom?

In true Lilo fashion! Well, sans the alcohol (we hope)!

Lindz showed up to Alec Baldwin's NYC play Orphans on the arm of rich Producer Mohammed al Turki Tuesday evening (above), and was only 45 minutes late. Which is practically early for the notoriously tardy starlet.

Lindz donned a sheer, bra-displaying blouse to the cultural event and even went backstage to pose for pics with Jack Mr. Baldwin.

We wonder if Lindsay is snuggling up to al Turki now that she's no longer

One can certainly question Shia LaBeouf's judgement, but there is no doubt he is man of candid integrity!!

When he visited the Late Show last night, we suspected he would eagerly bemoan his dysfunctional relationship with Alec Baldwin!

Orphans' production team said Shia was fired because of creative differences between he and Alec, but the Transformers star swears that story is straight bull poopie!!

Shia admitted to David Letterman

And here we thought Professor X was a fictional hero!!

James McAvoy played the titular character in Macbeth last night in London, but the theatrical production took a turn for the REAL when an audience member fell iill and collapsed!

Not even skipping a beat, James switched mindsets from Shakespeare to superhero and jumped into the audience to offer his assistance!!!

Pam may have found her new calling in life!

With the popular series The Office coming to an end this May, the cast is preparing for life after Dunder Mifflin and it looks like Jenna Fischer's plans include making her off-Broadway theater debut!

Our favorite former-receptionist dropped the news via Twitter that she would be hitting the stage in Neil Labute’s off-Broadway play Reasons to Be Happy along with Fred Weller, Leslie Bibb and Josh Hamilton (the actor, not the baseball player)!

The play is set to start previews on May 16th, which is coincidentally the same night as the Michael Scott-less series finale of The Office. At least now we’ll have something to be happy about once we’re done crying our eyes out!!

Either way, we couldn’t be more excited for Jenna! Break a leg girl!
