No weight worries for Keira Knightley at 'Pirates' premiere-(hmm flat)
afp ^ | 7/3/06 | afp

Posted on 07/03/2006 8:02:40 PM PDT by Flavius

LONDON (AFP) - British film star Keira Knightley made no apologies for her slender figure at the European premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in her hometown London. ADVERTISEMENT

The 21-year-old A-lister wore a revealing gold Gucci dress slashed to the waist that had some onlookers wondering if she was bowing to Hollywood pressure to be super-skinny.

"Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong," she told reporters on her way into the premiere, which was also attended by her fellow "Pirates" stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

"Hollywood is all about the way you look and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But if you're strong and comfortable with yourself then you're going to be fine."

In a BBC radio interview earlier Monday, Knightley recalled how the Hollywood premiere of "Pirates" at squeaky-clean Disneyland was alcohol-free, which she called "outrageous and really unexpected".

"I got in there and went, 'I'd like a beer please' and they said, 'Oh no, sorry, there's no alcohol in Disneyland'. I said, 'What? I'm British, are you mad?' So yes, tonight (at the London premiere) should be good."

"Dead Man's Chest"...indeed.

That photo is very disturbing.

Like Ann Coulter, that woman needs a cheeseburger or three, with fries and a milkshake at each meal.

You know in all seriousness if she put on some weight and took all that crap off her face she would be incredibly pretty.

I'm lousy at making links but there is a famous still of her from Pride and Prejudice where she is really beautiful. I hope she gets help before she does a Karen Carpenter.

Living here is west L.A, I sit next to some of my dearest friends somedays and I continually have to stop myself from just naturally wanting to call 911. Truthfully in person these people are even scarier looking. Keira is simply stunning and looks fantastic without out the skeletal look.

It is a true sickness beyond the anorexia, it is a societal mind f-ck. (pardon my John Kerry)

Try going around the pavillion-world having a pint (or two) at each country! I was in serious trouble when I staggered into that "London Pub".

Those appear to be the skeletal remains of Keira Knightley.

I love lean women, totally, but not like these pumpkin-head stickwomen of Hollywood!

(And by the way, Ann Coulter is just fine by me, thanks!)

Look at that picture of Keira and compare it to the bikini photo of Nicole Richie. Lindsay Lohan is another one who has done this to herself. All three are very young.

There is a website that glorifies anorexia as something that is empowering and spiritual. I saw some of the photos that were on a news show re the website and they were really horrifying.

Keira looks really bad is this pic, she should seek help. All young girls who do this to their bodies need help.

Keira Knightly is gorgeous...well, from the neck up. Somebody really needs to tell her that the concentration-camp survivor look doesn't work for her (or anybody).

I never saw the King Arthur movie she was in a couple years ago, but she looked a lot better (translation: less cadaverous) in the skimpy getup they had her in playing Guinevere, from the publicity photos I saw.

No way, I've met Ann and she's perfect in my book for her height. This other woman is down right skinny and needs a little meat added to her bones.

Disneyland must have different rules than Epcot.

Ms. Knightley hasn't been very bright in her political statements; I don't expect much from her health pronouncements either.

Couldn't get the image to post, but it's hard to believe that this photo couldn't convince most that Ann Coulter doesn't need to eat a little better.

She wouldn't make an "A" list - or even an "a" list.

It begs the question, "What comes before 'A' - and I mean WAY before A?"

Is Anorexic a bra size? She's gone beyond the typical '12 year old boy' Hollywood look and is experimenting with the '6 months after death' look!

Ladies:

Making your skeletal structure visible through fasting DOES NOT MAKE YOU MORE ATTRACTIVE. It isn't healthy, either. If we can see your ribs, then you need to eat something! If we can see the top of your hunerus, then you need to be force-fed!

WOW, she looks really unhealthy, this may be a serious clinical case of anorexia or bulimia. I've only ever seen a couple of adult women who were that bone-thin and they were both serious anorexics. She really needs to seek help if she hasn't already, before she does a Karen Carpenter.

Pathetic how these self-obsessed actresses are always blaming "hollywood" for their eating disorders.
Always the victim. Never accountable for their own actions.

Notice how the starving female stars always go heavy on the eyeliner and makeup in a sad attempt to try to hide their sunken in features.
