Keira Knightley
News (Page 2)

British actress Keira Knightley, star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film trilogy, won 3,000 pounds ($5,965) in libel damages on Thursday over a newspaper slur that she was excessively thin.

The Daily Mail had run a story with a picture of her in a bikini, headlined: "If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived".

"The article could be interpreted to have asserted that the claimant bore personal responsibility for causing the tragic death of Sophie Mazurek, a 19-year-old, who battled with anorexia," Knightley's lawyer Simon Smith told the High Court.

The 22-year-old actress had been embarrassed by the "entirely false" and "deeply offensive" suggestions.

Emaciated- visible-ribs-with-protruding-clavicle bitches don't impress me.

I am thin because that's what I am. Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong. I don't want to have to go 'round eating crap and being really unhealthy in order for people to stop having a go at me."

"The celebrity thing's completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether. I couldn't have kids in the situation I'm in now. But I could just do something else.

That's probably what's going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead."

She did say she was being stalked. I'm sure that tips the scale.

I'm being stalked by five men. I have no way of knowing if they could be potential rapists. It scares the living hell out of me - I'm frightened out of my wits every time I see one of them."

Keira Knightley reveals that her prepossessing visage has been both a gift and a curse.

"I do think I must have a nice face because I'm completely aware my face gets me work.

"But the problem is that if you happen to be someone who people think of as pretty, you also get so many people whose business it is to comment on your looks."

"I've been to photo shoots where the photographer has told me he'd kept my legs out of shot so I don't need to worry about them -- that of course makes you worry."

"Then I've had makeup artists who've told me they need to shade the top of my nose so it won't look so broken," says Knightley.

"I also got rejected for a job once because someone said I had a funny mouth."

As a result, she sighs, these supposed flaws become the "things you start to focus on. You start off thinking you're OK, then you have to go to some event and you remember you have a weird mouth, a broken nose and horrible legs."

I've been weeping uncontrollably since I heard about this. Excuse me while I roll my eyes grab a Kleenex. That's so sad.
