I myself have been wondering about this for quite some time. The more I see Keira, it seems the less I see of her every time. She is scary skinny at this point, and one can’t help but wonder if there is some disordered eating happening. Here she is seen a few months ago at the 2008 Orange British Academy Film Awards in London, and it seems that she hasn’t beefed up much since. As a result, a few tongues have wagged about the possibility of an eating disorder. Gotta admit, there seems to be some merit to that. However, Keira’s mom, Sharman Macdonald, refers to anyone spreading such rumors as a ‘playground bully’ and says that her daughter is nowhere near anorexic. Sharman says Keira’s svelte figure has been inherited by her skinny dad, Will Knightley. Not sure that I’ve seen too many pics of Will Knightley, but if a man looked this thin, I’m thinking it wouldn’t be all that attractive. Sharman defends Keira heavily saying her daughter needs to eat like a horse just to maintain her low weight even, and that simply Keira is just a thin girl. Keira has apparently sought medical advice on how to put on some pounds, which should say in itself that her weight is not normal. But the advice could not have gotten very far, and Keira just says she’s naturally thin and there’s nothing she can do about it. On a side note, both Keira’s grandmother AND great-grandmother suffered from anorexia. This alone puts her at a much higher risk for the disease. So, I’m looking at her and wondering, what side of the tree does Keira really fall from?

Celebrities like Keira Knightley and Cameron Diaz are jumping on this bandwagon. Hollywood is touting a new diet that, yes, actually works. It’s called The Lunch Box Diet and entails not worrying so much about what you eat for breakfast and dinner, but what you put in your body in the middle of those time frames that counts. The diet is endorsed by Personal Trainer and Lifestyle Coach Simon Lovell, who offers a downloadable, online diet plan where one can graze from their pre-organized lunchbox during the day between breakfast and dinner. An average lunchbox will contain 60% veggies, 30% protein and 10% dressing and carbs are limited unless you enter some exercise in your day. If you don’t, no carbs for you! No specific rules are given for breakfast or dinner, just, eat healthy, and alcohol is not a forbidden fruit for this one. No wonder the celebs like it so much! Or perhaps, they are sticking to it because it works. 12 lbs in 4 weeks is pretty darn good, and while it seems like a lot, it is well within a healthy range for weight loss.

On the cover of this month’s Allure is Keira Knightley, the actress of the stars. She partakes in an interview with Judy Bachrach that is both revealing and refreshing! Not only is she relaxingly vulgar, but she is strikingly honest, too. Keira goes into depth about how she finds her Oscar red-carpet wardrobe malfunctions mildly funny, and claims that she didn’t use enough “tit-tape”. Loves how the make-up artist spent 45 minutes each day shadowing in extra cleavage while she was filming Pirates of the Caribbean:

“And I loved it, completely loved it. Because it was the first time I had big tits in my life, and I didn’t even need surgery.”
.

She also goes on to state how she has self-esteem issues just like the rest of us. While in LA the first time filming Pirates, her dermatologist asked her if she had broken her nose. She hadn’t, Knightley explained, and the doctor replied: “Well, we can fix it.” Mortified, Keira spent hours afterwards examining her nose. So, I guess it really doesn’t matter how famous, rich or beautiful you are, you’re always going to have your doubts. But, being rich and famous does have its perks… cough, Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle campaign. It’s rumoured that she’s being paid $1 million!

Poor poor Keira Knightly. Yup, she’s feeling sorry for herself again. This time it’s not because she’s beautiful, this time it’s because she’s too thin. Yeah, she hates red carpet events because people actually put in writing how crappy one looks. Or they gripe about how thin someone might be. But she assures us, she has self-esteem issues too, that ‘skinny people are allowed to feel shit about themselves’, that she doesn’t own a scale, and has no clue how much she weighs. Here’s a thought, why don’t you EAT something then, Keira? Then maybe people wouldn’t make fun of you for looking like an idiot stick figure. Doncha just hate it when noone feels sorry for the skinny girl? Life is rough when you don’t have real problems to complain about.

I am going with a big old “whatever” on this one. Keira Knightley’s movie Atonement apparently had some people raising eyebrows about her gaunt figure. Well, if it looks and quacks like a duck you know what they say. But she is apparently so ‘frustrated’ about people talking about her weight, she actually addressed it in a news conference. Something to the tune of ‘please talk about my film, not my body’. In fact, she even had a bet going with some of her people about how many times the word anorexia would come up in relation to her figure. Ok well, she is the one that brought it up, no pun intended, and yet she will still be the one to complain when people use that term. Because what she may not realize is that, people that don’t actually obsess about their body, generally don’t talk about it. Let ‘em catch a snap of you eating a sandwich or something, honey, and then perhaps they won’t mind thoughtfully discussing your film efforts.

Well, who hasn’t been really. Someone commented on one of Keira Knightley’s recent cover shots and instead of graciously taking all of the credit for her beauty she had a more realistic approach. She brought attention to the fact that she gets styled by a team of professionals, takes the photos, and then yet another team of pros hones in on the pics and touches them up. Well, duh, most celeb followers are well aware of the magic of the airbrush but it’s nice to see celebs owning up to it, makes them a little more human. Keira also wouldn’t mind today’s Hollywood moving back to its Old Hollywood roots when A-listers lives were kept behind closed doors. Well, that would be nice for YOU sweetie, but then what on earth would WE have to talk about?
