Keira Knightley: Crap or very crap?

[AnnO'Neemus]

Over the past few weeks, I've read in a few snippets articles that miss pouty face is thinking of stopping acting because the recognition/celebrity thing is all a bit much. She doesn't like all the attention, oh no.

So why, then, is she on the cover of three women's glossy magazines at the moment? Why is someone who is claiming to be averse to being a public figure currently touting herself about so much in a shameless blitz of self-promotion?

Either she should STF up complaining and pretending that she doesn't like the limelight, or just admit that she's attention seeking stupid pouty face.

And why on earth does she put on that stupid pouty face expression? Who on earth told her that's her most attractive look? All she does is pout. She fulfills no other function, useful or otherwise.

Dunno, why, what's it to you ? I really don't get all of this people getting upset over what celebrities are supposed to have said in gossip magazines and tabloids. Most of it is made up anyway. Any discussion following this rubbish merely means that you are being played by the media. There is probably little relation to what Keira Knightly has said or how she really feels about things ar what kind of person she is in real life anyway. It's all just so much hot air.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Dunno, why, what's it to you ?

Her stupid pouty expression that puts on is just very annoying. It makes me want to slap her round the head with a big fat wet fish.

 

[zoooo]

Getting annoyed by people you don't know is part of the joy of life!

She annoys me too. Yes.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I quite like her. As film star types go she is relatively undislikeable.

I guess she's your Paris Hilton. A little less good looking, a little less famous, a little less rich, a little less hatred from the hoi polloi.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Apparently, she's one of these two females:

 

[Buddy Bradley]

She's a slightly cheaper and less talented Natalie Portman.

 

[stelios69]

i think keira is better looking than natalie portman

 

[ruffneck23]

I guess she's your Paris Hilton. A little less good looking, a little less famous, a little less rich, a little less hatred from the hoi polloi.

a lil less good looking? wot than paris hilton??

Sorry Johnny but if you think Paris is the slightest bit good looking then im going to do a sponsored sleep in aid of getting you some spectacles

 

[Geri]

Her huge mouth annoys me. She looks like a wide mouthed frog.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Keira Knightley isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Natalie Portman. KN isn't even a low budget NP, she's just not in the same league!

 

[Jazzz]

somewhat biased poll options

 

[stavros]

I've always thought Parminder Nagra, her co-star from Bend It Like Beckham, was a lot better looking. She doesn't look like she'd snap in a strong wind for example.

I think she's slightly good looking.

 

[ruffneck23]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Less good looking than Paris Hilton? Paris Hilton?
Dear god...

Exactly. Paris Hilton good looking? Not that I'm mad on Keira Knightly either.

But compare the two

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Even with the two of them looking like stick insects, Keira beats Paris

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

"Duh....my head hurts - I think a thought is forming..."

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that Paris is attractive. Keira isn't ugly, but I think the vapidity of her expression detracts from her overall looks.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

but I think the vapidity of her expression detracts from her overall looks.

and Paris doesn't look vapid?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I suppose. But I find Paris attractive, moreso than Keira. Paris looks kind of stupid, but there's something else there. To me, Keira just looks stupid.

And before you dis me for saying that I find Paris attractive even though she looks stupid, just remember: the stupid need love too.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

the stupid need love too.

are you talking about yourself or Paris?

 

[Julie]

I can't stand either of them. Way too impressed with themselves without much of a reason to be.

To be honest, I can't think of many actresses of that generation that do much for me at all (in a manner of speaking ).

I like 'dames' (and no, not the royal type): Actresses / performers like:

Susan Sarandon
Barbra Streisand
Bette Midler
Vanessa Redgrave
Whoopi Goldberg
Goldie Hawn
Jane Fonda
Judi Dench
Helen Mirren
Julie Christie
Judy Davis
Cate Blanchett
Annette Bening
Edie Falco
Lorraine Bracco
Joan Cusack

Etc, etc.

They have heart, passion, intelligence, intuitiveness, sensitivity, ..... substance, in other words.

Give me a 'dame' like that any day of the week and I might even switch sides

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

are you talking about yourself or Paris?

I dunno: you're confusing me?

She has a new fillum out.

I didn't know who she was until yesterday, even though I've seen a couple of her films. She doesn't look like she's eating properly but I have no idea about her crapness.

 

[T & P]

I saw an advanced preview of Atonement and she was very good in it.

Also very, very fit. Look for the scene in which she jumps into the fountain wearing a nightie.

Would. Many times.

 

[glaucon]

I thought she was good in "Pride & Prejudice", "Bend it like Beckham", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and that one where they all get stuck in a hole in the ground.

I don't think that she's a particularly good role model image wise but, from the OP, it sounds like she wants to get away from the whole media-circus driven need to be very thin to be seen as "attractive"

So why, then, is she on the cover of three women's glossy magazines at the moment? Why is someone who is claiming to be averse to being a public figure currently touting herself about so much in a shameless blitz of self-promotion?

This is part of being a "film star". It will be written into her movie contracts that she has to do publicity for the film and this will include magazine photo-shoots and interviews in the run up to, for example, "Pirates of the Caribbean" being released. It isn't something she can get out of unless she stops being a film actress - which if the OP is correct she is thinking of doing.
