She's got a great body and I think she's pretty talented, especially for someone who's so young. She's one of the few people who can dress in skimpy clothes in her movies and magazine spreads and still be put together and classy on the red carpet. Love!

Why pirates don't like corsets: "It looks great, and it gives you fantastic cleavage. But the oxygen deprivation is a bit of a problem. And the fact that if you swallow any food, it stops at a certain point and it feels like it's going to come up all day. So, no, it's not my best friend, really."
How pirates break into show business: "I'm dyslexic, but nobody realized I couldn't read until I was 6 years old. That's when I said, 'I want an agent.' My mom and dad said, 'OK, we'll get you an agent if you come to us every single day during the summer holiday with a book in your hands and a smile on your face and read for half an hour.' They didn't think I'd do it, and I did. So they felt so guilty about making their 6-year-old do that all summer, they felt they had to get me an agent."
If only they'd known she'd end up as Natalie Portman's double …"I haven't been confused with Natalie in a while, so I think we're past that. She's a bloody good actress, though."
She could have used a double herself in Bend It Like Beckham. "I can safely say that I'm good at archery; I really like it and I did beat most of the boys. But football; I'm bad. I'm really bad. I'm just an embarrassment. [There was a] lot of creative editing in that movie."
So, Domino Harvey: role model. (Yikes!) "We all have moments in our lives when we want to be somebody else. In a funny kind of way, Domino did what everybody wishes they could do. But also, you see why you don't want to do it, as well."
Anyway, being a movie star is way better than bounty hunting."It's all good at the moment. And if it finishes tomorrow, then I'll do something else. But at least I can say I've given it a go. I'm loving doing it, but it's not gonna be the end of me if it suddenly stopped."
Meantime, there's all that money …"Well, I bought a flat, which is all I ever wanted, and it's fantastic. I can't drive; otherwise I would've bought a car. So it's just the flat. It's my money pit."

Keira may be youngest best actress Tuesday January 31, 04:45 PM Click to enlarge photo Keira Knightley could become the youngest ever winner of the best actress Oscar. The 20-year-old is nominated for her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in the big screen adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. The current youngest winner of the award is Marlee Matlin, who was 21 when she scooped the prize for Children Of A Lesser God in 1986. Knightley has had her sights firmly set on fame since she was a toddler. Aged three, she told her parents she wanted an agent. She made her TV debut in the drama A Village Affair when she was eight. Knightley's breakthrough role came in 2002, when she was cast as a football-loving teen in Bend It Like Beckham. She went on to star in the TV mini-series Dr Zhivago and Love Actually before hitting the Hollywood big time in The Pirates Of The Caribbean films opposite Johnny Depp. Her role as Elizabeth Bennet has already earned her a Golden Globe nomination, although she has been snubbed by this year's Bafta voters. She admitted to being daunted by the role when it was first offered to her. "I was terrified of taking on such a well-known character - to the point where I didn't want to do it. But my agent persuaded me and I'm very glad she did. It was a very special experience to make the film and I'm very happy everyone liked it," she said.

^ I know she probably won't win, it's so going to be Reese, but I'm so overly excited you have no idea. I didn't really think they were going to nominate her. I'm practically levitating lol!

she's very pretty but she's got a weird smile and that weird kinda bottom-heavy thing going on, like she has a thin person's upper body and a chubby girl's lower body put together.
She's a pear. I think she has a really nice hips and a great bottom for a thin, white girl. I think it's the best part of her figure. There's nothing chubby about.NY City Girl said:

I'll take any view lol! That's just a great in general and it hugged her in all the right places.
Congrats to Keira for her Oscar nom!!! I'm so stoked for her! I don't really believe she can actually win it (it's between Reese and Felicity), but this only foreshadows bigger and better roles for her in the future. You go, girl!
