Tabloid headlines doesn't weigh keira up in court


Keira Knightley will be able to eat for a while on $6,000.

The British actress has been awarded the amount by the Daily Mail in libel damages. Keira sued the tabloid after it insinuated that her skinny frame had caused a teenage girl to starve herself to death.

The headline for the article, above a picture of Keira in a bikini, read, "If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived." The story features comments from a grieving mother, who lost her daughter to anorexia.

"The Pirates Of The Caribbean" star won the case after her lawyer, Simon Smith, told London's High Court, "The article could be interpreted to have asserted that the claimant bore personal responsibility for causing the tragic death of Sophie Mazurek, a 19-year-old, who battled with anorexia."

The lawyer continued to point out that naturally slim Keira is aware of her health and not focused on being a size zero. He said, "She considers it more important and has spoken of her opinion of the need to be healthy and happy."

The actress spoke about the article, which the court was told she found "deeply offensive," in an issue of Elle magaine.

Keira explained, "It appeared as if I were promoting something when I absolutely was not. I am thin because that's what I am, and I was thinner at that point because of the work I do. Nothing else."

The star has been vocal in her attitude towards her body, admitting that she would like to change parts of it but is not obsessed with dieting or fitness.

LinLo and Keira Knightley seem to be competing for who's best by getting nude in movies

Keira Knightley loves stripping off naked in her films.

The stunning actress, who is currently shooting sex scenes with Sienna Miller for her new movie "The Best Time Of Our Lives," bares her body so much she is worried there will be a backlash from fans.

Keira told Total Film magazine: "There are plenty of sex scenes in the book, so the adaptation is true to its source. I think soon, people are going to insist I keep my clothes on! I wouldn't do anything I didn't feel completely comfortable with. I suppose I'm very European in my attitude to my body.

"I'm an actress. I have certain tools. One of them is my body. I don't mind stripping off occasionally."

Keira - who stars in "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End" alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom - has also criticized the plastic toy figure of her character Elizabeth Swann, saying it bears little resemblance to her boyish figure.

She said: "It's nothing like me. She has got t*ts for a start! I don't have any t*ts!"

The 22-year-old actress loved working with Johnny and Orlando on the third "Pirates" film, but struggled to deal with their jealous female fans.

Keira moaned: "Women look at me as if they want to kill me. And then when they don't kill me they say through gritted teeth, 'Lucky you.'"

Lindsay loses role to rival sienna


The tangled web of Sienna Miller and Lindsay Lohan competing against each other in Hollywood is about to turn professional.

The two stars have shared boyfriends - at different times - like Jude Law and Jamie Burke. And now Lindsay is once and for all completely replaceable by Sienna.

The stylish starlet has signed on to take over Lindsay's role in "The Best Times Of Our Lives," after the 20-year-old backed out of the production.

Sienna will now join British starlet Keira Knightly in the film... and some steamy sex scenes.

Lucky for Sienna, who has had her fair share of love scenes and semi-naked photo shoots, Keira also doesn't have a problem with getting in the buff on film.

Oscar nominee Keira recently said, "Sex scenes are easy. I don't really have a problem with them. Actually it's quite liberating in the movie 'Domino' to be out in the middle of the desert completely topless with a beautiful Venezuelan guy. I was very lucky."

Lindsay Lohan, meanwhile, is starring as a stripper in "I Know Who Killed Me."
