Best chums? What a performance!

I MUST confess I found myself transfixed by this picture of Dame Helen Mirren, Emma Thompson, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas and Nicole Kidman together at a party in Toronto.

First, what is the collective noun for lady luvvies? An air-kiss? A Botox? Also, is it just my imagination or is Nicole Kidman trying to

push Helen Mirren out of the shot? Or is that simply Nicole’s way of ensuring she gets maximum exposure?

Never have four women tried so hard to appear the best of friends while, to my cynical mind anyway, clearly loathing every second in each other’s presence. A triumph, darlings!
