Dame Helen Mirren may have won an Oscar for playing a rather dowdy Queen Elizabeth in The Queen, but on Saturday Night Live, her babe-ness was emphasized. Much was made of the 65-year-old's breasts, including a Digital Short about their magical powers. Click through the photos for videos of last night's sketches, including a spoof of Fox & Friends, a look at Mary Shelley's landlord Frank Stein, and a Crunk-Ass Easter Festival, as well as musical performances from the Foo Fighters.
