RSS FeedKeira's not starving. No, seriously.
At the London premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” Keira Knightley told reporters thats she’s not, we repeat, not, not, absolutely not anorexic.
She told People that she knows she’s not suffering from the common eating disorder because her grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it.
Um, o-kay, but can't this eating disorder thing run in the family?
The fact that Knightley’s skimpy backless gold Gucci gown showed off her bony ribs, sharp shoulder blades, bird-thin arms, protruding sternum and spine did absolutely nothing to feed all those preposterously silly, silly rumors. How does this viscious gossip spread, anyway?
Hey, at least the London press got to actually speak to her about something. Not to mention getting actual sound bites from her “Pirates” co-stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
Fat chance the hundreds of press who waited for 5 ½ hours at the Disneyland “Pirates” premiere had to get her to talk about anything.
But thumbs up for that new disheveled short bob, Keira. It makes your absolutely not anorexic hollow cheekbones look way full and healthy.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY IS NOT AMERICAN. NEITHER IS SHE ANOREXIC.
CRUEL RUMORS LIKE THAT ARE SPREAD BY JEALOUS PEOPLE. OKAY, SHE'S SLIM, AND OKAY, YOU CAN SEE SOME RIBS, BUT YOU CAN SEE MY RIBS AND IM A SIZE 10/12.
ANOREXIC PEOPLE ARE SIZE 4.
NOW YOU TELL ME IF SHE LOOKS LIKE A SIZE 4.

Kiera is quite thin, but who are we to judge?! She is beautiful, and many benefit from her work. I would definitely encourage her to eat more, though that is completely up to her. She will learn what's best for her body, as we all will. There are guidelines we truly ought to follow, but some learn best from experience, and though that may be more difficult and heart wrenching it can be more beneficial.

look,
im asain and u eaither are really skinny or really fat.
shes american,
why cant she normally be skinny?
u can see my ribs,

anorexic people are depressed people.
personally in an asian eyes veiw,
shes a normal weight if she would be asian,
and i dont think anorexia can run in the family,
depression could.
dont u think shes suffering from work?
>:(

I think the pressure to be thin in Hollywood is finally getting to her. I think it's pretty sad, since I'm a HUGE Keira fan. I really love Keira, and I want to see her looking healthier. BTW, the article is soaking with sarcasm, I don't think that she's anorexic, I think she's just so busy with work. Hahaha, probably?

the thing is that people are trying so hard to make themselves thin. keira we dont want u to be thin or fat... we want u to be healty! if people can count your ribs it doesn't mean your anoreixc but i'll be honest girl ur cuttin it real close to bein one. just eat a little bit more.

I agree with Brenda. You wrote that piece on how he was with the Make a Wish kids and with his fans. Did you not mean it? Were you forced to write it? No wonder The LA Times wrote such a bad review for Pirates. Sour Grapes!

I love Keira. With that lovely face and thick English accent, she's the sexiest female in film today. She's even sexier in slightly masculine roles like Domino and King Arthur. I'd say that the average overweight American is just very jealous of Keira.

Um, yeah, that girl is seriously in need of some nutrition. You can count her ribs!

Keira is a beautiful woman, but looking like a recently-liberated inmate of a concentration camp doesn't quite make her seem sexy. If she's anorexic, she should get help. If she's simply deliberately starving her body to fit in with Hollywood's idiotic notion of sexiness, cut it out, Keira.

You know, I was at that premiere, and I didn't think she looked anorexic. Maybe in that particular picture, but not when I was there.

You just can't let it go can you Ms. Snead?
I hope if Mr. Depp ever sees you on the red carpet he'll turn and run the other way. You don't deserve to be granted an interview with your childish harping. It's growing rather old.
