Helen Mirren Tells Jimmy Fallon That Tomatoes Are Bisexual
'I just want to give you a tip about growing tomatoes,' she began. 'You know the little flower? Well, a good way to get a tomato out of a flower is you have to tremble the flower,' she said while wiggling her finger.
An uncomfortable-looking Jimmy replied, 'Stop doing that. I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's happening.'
'I'm not doing that at all to my tomatoes,' he said as he burst out laughing. 'Killing it is one thing, doing that is something else.'
This prompted Helen to share that she believes tomatoes are bisexual. 'A tomato is a bisexual thing,' she declared, prompting laughter from Jimmy and the audience. 'Well, it is!' she insisted.
'I looked it up very recently because I had a problem with my tomatoes. So, it's bisexual. So you have to go around to each flower and go like this,' she said as she wiggled her finger again.
Seemingly eager to move the conversation along, Jimmy hastily replied, 'Yes, I got you, I understand, I understand. Each one.'
Tomatoes, which contain both male and female reproductive parts, are indeed able to self-pollinate with the help of a gentle 'jostle.'
Unsurprisingly, Helen's quotes have already picked up steam online and are becoming a bit of a meme. Reacting to a headline from E! News that reads, 'Helen Mirren Says Tomatoes Are Bisexual,' one person joked, 'Words are being said that were never said before.'
Meanwhile, some users couldn't get over Jimmy's awkward reaction to the entire thing. 'Watching Jimmy blush and be uncomfortable discussing sexuality in tomatoes is priceless,' one person commented on YouTube.
LOL. You can watch the moment right here at roughly the 2:00 minute mark. Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.

Zoë Kravitz and Mom Lisa Bonet ‘Destroyed' Taylor Swift's Bathroom Looking For Pet Snake During L.A. Wildfires: ‘I Was Panicking'
Zoë Kravitz survived a potentially career-ending mushroom trip on the first season of The Studio, but she almost didn't make it out of a stay at Taylor Swift's house without destroying the joint in a mad panic. The actress/director stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday night (Aug. 12) to share a hilariously harrowing story about the time her mom Lisa Bonet's adorable pet snake almost caused an A-list incident. Kravitz said Swift had generously invited the mother-daughter duo to stay in her home during the evacuations caused by the L.A. wildfires in January. 'My mom lives in Topanga Canyon, so I said, 'No, that's a dangerous place to be. Come [here].' And my mom has a pet snake, and so she has her evacuation stuff; she came over with the snake,' Kravitz said. 'We ended up having to stay there for maybe about two weeks, and Taylor has this very beautiful house. I think it's from the '30s, like it's a beautiful house, something you want to preserve and take care of.' More from Billboard Taylor Swift Fans Have the 'Zoomies' Over 'Life of a Showgirl' News: 'I Am Bouncing Around … Like a Feral Cat' Tool and Weezer to Headline Australia's Good Things Festival Cindy Lee Announces North American Tour Dates One way to take cover of such a jem is to not lose your reptile in it. But, as the pair were getting ready to leave on their last day and the Blink Twice director was packing up her things, Kravitz told her mom that she really wanted to 'be a good house guest. I like to leave places better than I found them. I don't want her [Swift] to even know we were here.' So I was kind of going around and cleaning up, and I'm downstairs and she's upstairs and my phone rings and it's my mom.' Uh oh. It was Bonet and her voice was 'super high,' which made Kravitz think something was amiss. 'And she's like, 'I'm in a little bit of a pickle. Can you come upstairs?'' Kravitz said. That's when she learned that Bonet's pet snake, Orpheus, had found 'this little hole in the corner' of the room to hide in. Turns out the snake crawled into a hole next to a banquette built into the wall and while Bonet was able to get a hold of the snake's tail, 'they're all muscle, they're very, very strong, so she's holding the snake's tail. We don't know what to do.' Kravitz said she started to panic as the snake crawled further and further into the hole. 'It's like that scene in Jurassic Park when they're in the car and the branches breaking every time they move,' Kravitz said. 'I was panicking so much that my mom likes to say, 'If I had both hands, I would have slapped you.'' They were saved by the house manager, who showed up with a crowbar to tear apart the banquette so they could reach the snake, adding that they were 'ripping up the tile, we're scratching the walls.' In the end, she said, 'we completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom, and there was just this moment where I was like, 'either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there's a snake somewhere in her house,'' explained Kravitz, with Meyers saying they were 'both bad options.' They did end up destroying the bathroom, with Meyers holding up a pic of the aftermath, with cabinets torn apart and Bonet and Kravitz laying on the floor, head-to-head, holding on to the snake with all their might. Kravitz said she assured the house manager that she would pay for the damages, asking him to not say anything until was all fixed. 'And I remember calling her [Swift] and saying, 'Hey — also very high voice — I wanted to talk to you about something,' and she was like, 'Is it the fact that you almost lost a stake in our house and destroyed my bathroom?,'' Kravitz said. The story — which came on the same day that Swift announced her upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl — prompted Meyers to joke that Orpheus is definitely 'gonna get like three songs on the next album.'

Taylor Swift Fuels Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga Album Theories With Sneaky Likes
THE RUNDOWN Taylor Swift continued her new The Life of a Showgirl era by dropping a few hints about the direction of her new album—and the two A-list singers who might be connected to the project. Swifties on X noticed that the singer liked a post from a fan who pointed out that Swift announced her album exactly 12 years to the day that Gaga released her song 'Applause' (on Aug. 12, 2013). E! noted the song was also part of Swift's intro playlist during her Eras Tour. Swift also liked a tweet about a possible collaboration with Ariana Grande. A Grande fan account tweeted in Portuguese, 'Everyone knows that there are two people in the world capable of breaking the internet with a feat,' alongside a photo of Grande and Swift. The post appears to have been deleted, but the user kept a screen recording confirming that Swift had liked it. Swift also liked tweets identifying Easter eggs for The Life of a Showgirl in her 'Anti-Hero' music video and 'Bejeweled' music videos: Of course, Swift has only begun to tease what's coming in her 12th album. She's expected to reveal much more later this evening during her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights. The episode comes out at 7 P.M. ET.
