The whole thing is a bit surreal because she is in Chinatown for one thing (PEANUT OIL!)
Doubly surreal. Was she buying the peanut oil for a friend?
I have no idea. I thought the whole thing was so strange.

LONDON, England (AP) -- Helen Mirren, who won the best actress Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen," may be invited to tea, Buckingham Palace said Monday.
The film's director, Stephen Frears, has already suggested that he, Mirren and screenwriter Peter Morgan would visit the queen at the palace next month.
"I'm sure that the queen will be pleased," the palace spokeswoman said.
Imagine the Queen having tea with Mirren dressed in character.
