Keira Knightly Says Don’t Hate me Because I’m Thin

Monday, September 3rd, 2007


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.

Keira Knightley has been Airbrushed

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

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?

What do Kiera Knightley, Courtney Love, and Scarlett Johanssen Have in Common?

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Apparently Kiera Knightly, Courtney Love, and Scarlett Johanssen would all rather go naked than wear fake Chanel. Seriously, as if any of them have worn fake anything in their entire celebrity life. And Courtney Love in Chanel, gotta say, woulda lost that bet BIG TIME. Just goes to show, Chanel can make anyone look classy. I do love the tag line, but the line would have a lot more pop if it were normal everyday people saying it, and posing accordingly. Ok, I know, no one wants to see normal people naked, got it. And of course, Chanel has a huge line of celebs on their bulletin boards – Monroe, Hepburn, Kidman, etc. etc. So of course they have to brand their brand accordingly. Not that they need any advertising, but this campaign should make some nice waves.

Kiera: I’d rather look like BIG Beth !!

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Super skinny Hollywood celebrity Kiera Knightley says she would prefer to look like Beth Ditto than an anorexic. The actress said she has tried to put on weight after being labelled a role model for anorexics and added that the chubby lead singer of The Gossip is ‘so sexy’ and has the ‘most amazing body’.

Talking about seeing Ditto at a Gossip gig she told Elle magazine:

‘When she was performing she started taking all her clothes off. I stood there watching her strip, thinking, ‘Oh my God, that woman is so sexy.’

Like OMG… has Keira seen Beth!? Ya, I agree with her in principle; anorexia is a deadly illness and it shouldn’t be glamorized. But, and this is a big butt, she probably shouldn’t stretch the truth so much! I mean, do you believe her!? I think that to look like Beth or an anorexic is equally bad!
