At The Atonement premiere in London.

In a recent interview with the UK’s Radio Times, the Pirates hottie openly credits her good genes and Photoshop for all the fabulous pictures of her gracing magazine covers.

“OK, I’m on the cover of a magazine,” she says, “but somebody else does the hair, and the makeup, and airbrushes the fuck out of me – it’s not me, it’s something other people have created.”

She also downplays the value of fame.

“It frightens me when kids go, ‘I want to be famous,’ ” she says. “Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book [a table], you can get into a restaurant! ‘I want to be rich and famous.’ Go and work on the stock market.”

She commented on her recent lawsuit against a tabloid after it accused the super-skinny starlet of having an eating disorder.

“You couldn’t say anything more horrendous. So yes, I did take a hard line, and I would take that line again.”

I have to say that I have a friend who worked on a movie in England with miss Keira and said simply, “She is quite the brat…actually I really couldn’t stand her…not many people can.” I used to love Keira but lately she as really made some annyoing comments. She is attempting to make her fans think that she is “just like them” when really her image is a dangerous example of skeletal Hollywood.

Even though she is very thin and a huge role models to young women in England she always is making comments about her figure saying that she is very insecure.

“Look up insecurity in the dictionary, ‘For insecurity, see Keira Knightley.’ Constant insecurities. But I’m 22 and my body is alright at the moment. It’s not going to get much better. I know I might as well make the most of it.”

She has decided to combat her “insecurity” by telling people she would rather look like chunky indie rocker Beth Ditto. I wonder if Keira realizes it is a bit of a slap in the face when a skinny actress tells people she envies Beth’s plus size body.

I know she claims to be naturally skinny but I remember when she broke out onto the scene as a teenager (when people are usually at their thinnest) and she looked healthy and trim not ill.

A new actress, Hayley Atwell who is beautiful and womanly has been called the “New Keira Knightley” in England and I hope that is the case. She is beautiful and has an actual figure. She will be starring this summer with Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell in Woody Allen’s movie, “Cassandra’s Dream.”

The, ultra-thin, premiere-dodging Keira Knightley recently won nearly $6000 in a libel suit against British tab The Daily Mail over their claims that her super-skinny body was encouraging young women to starve themselves. The $6000 can be interpreted to represent either 0.0003% of the revenue earned by Daily Mail for that issue, or 0.0002% of the value of the free publicity they’ve seen as a result of the lawsuit. Take your pick.

The tabloid ran a photo of Keira in a bikini, with the headline: “If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived,” with the article suggesting that Keira’s weight had contributed to the death of 19-year-old Sophie Mazurek.

A lawyer for the paper’s publisher said they apologized for the distress and embarrassment caused by the article and accepted that the actress bore no responsibility for Mazurek’s death.

Keira plans to match the amount she won in the suit — another $6000 — and donate the total to BEAT, a charity which helps people with eating and mental disorders. She still has no plans to attend any of the premieres for Pirates 3.

Those of you who have been waiting patiently for the Lindsay Lohan/Keira Knightley lesbian scene you were promised in their upcoming flick, Best Time of Our Lives, will just have to pull out the Vaseline and your Wild Things DVD and keep waiting. The ever-reliable Lohan dropped out of the Dylan Thomas biopic just days before filming was supposed to start. You know, because she’s not an addict, and everything is totally under control.

Keira’s mother, Sharman Macdonald, wrote the screenplay for the film, and Keira is reportedly “furious” with Lindsay for dropping out of the project. Lohan was slated to play Thomas’s wife, Caitlin MacNamara, which would include a lesbian sex scene with Knightley. There’s been no formal comment from Knightley or Lohan’s camp. However, rumor has it that Sienna Miller is taking over Lohan’s role, so there’s no need to be too disappointed, guys. It’s not like they went with Rosie O’Donnell instead.

Side note: I found this pic of Lindsay in Tokyo from April 13. That girl is still wearing that Foreigner t-shirt. Too. Damn. Funny.

I don’t know why but I find this photo to be smirk worthy. The official Pirates 3 stills are coming out and this one shows Keira Knightley battling a smoke machine. Did they take this at Glamour Shots? They didn’t make her look hot or tough, instead they went for the odd mouth open look with her hair magnetically attracted to her sword.

It’s either a profoundly cool shot or a weird choice and I haven’t quite figured out which. You decide.

Hilary Swank’s New Year’s resolution is to give away the swag she gets for free, like, every time she leaves her house. That’s nice. My New Year’s resolution is to stop cutting myself when I have to read about how Hilary Swank gets free stuff every time she leaves the house. [Gabsmash]

If you position yourself correctly, you just might be able to have sex with Keira Knightley’s abs. [The Blemish]

Jewel says she’s giving up acting. What? When did she act? Is she referring to that one time she acted like she could write poetry and released a whole book of it? Oh, please say she is. [IBBB]

JT finally cops to the Cam break-up, may or may not be porking Scarlett Johansson. Regardless, it’s nice to see that everyone is at all times remembering to make “dick-in-a-box” jokes when they talk about him. [Agent Bedhead]
