The queen won't be meeting "The Queen" star just yet. Helen Mirren, who won an Academy Award earlier this year for playing Queen Elizabeth II, turned down an invitation to dinner at Buckingham Palace, a British newspaper reported. The Mail on Sunday said Mirren had been invited to dine with the queen last week, but sent her regrets because she is filming "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" in the United States.
"The palace very kindly extended an invitation to dinner last Tuesday, May 1," Mirren said in a written statement quoted by the newspaper. "But, unfortunately, I was filming in South Dakota and unable to change my schedule. I am very sad not to have been able to attend.
" Representatives of Mirren and the queen could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.

The video shows Hasselhoff, wearing only blue jeans, lying on a floor and clumsily eating a hamburger while one of his daughters videotapes him and reproves him about his drinking. Hasselhoff said in a printed statement last week that he's a recovering alcoholic and the tape was made to show him what he can be like under the influence of alcohol. "I have learned from it, and I am back on my game," he said then.
