No weight worries for Keira Knightley at 'Pirates' premiere-(hmm flat)

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)
