These photos are from a new pictorial Keira Knightley did for Vogue Italia, likely to promote Never Let Me Go in Europe. Keira never fails to photograph beautifully, and I like many of these images. I have to admit, though, ever since LaineyGossip wrote this piece, I?ve been wondering if Keira is due some scandalous story, and in these photos, I?m thinking the ?scandal? may be drugs. She just? I don?t know. It?s not like a Brooke Mueller situation, but if you told me that Keira was a cokehead, I would believe you.
More evidence that something?s up with her - check out this interview Keira did with The Telegraph. The writer is trying to be honest with what a spectacular pill Keira was, and she just seems so, so squirrelly. The full piece is here, and here are some of the highlights:
On sex scenes: ‘It?s a consensual thing,? she says in her head girl?s voice. ‘You say what you?re comfortable with and everybody?s incredibly respectful. Certainly not what happens on a press day.? She shoots me a dagger.
On the story line of Never Let Me Go: When I mention that I?ve been having strange dreams since seeing the film ? a haunting story set in an appalling (and frighteningly plausible) alternative reality ? she tells me, ‘You?re the third person who?s said that today.?
Keira on her relationship with Carey Mulligan: She and Mulligan are close friends in real life, which made shooting the vicious scenes between their characters a challenge. ‘I just kept on having to say, ?I?m so sorry,?? says Knightley. ‘And she?d be like,? she adopts a soothing tone, ‘?It?s all right. It?s just pretend. It?s fine.?
On taking smaller roles: ‘That was a choice,? she says. ‘I worked solidly from the age of 16 to 22 without a holiday. And then at 22 I took a year off ? which was needed! And since then it?s been supporting roles. I mean, time off in between is important; it was quite mental at one point.?
On being a child actor: The young Keira auditioned constantly ? ‘Some kids did karate, I went to auditions? ? including four fruitless attempts at the BBC One series Casualty. ‘They were humiliating,? Knightley says with feeling. ‘You walk in a room and they obviously think you?re s?. So you walk out again. I mean the rejection level of anyone who does anything like that? It is quite a savage process.?
On whether Keira and Rupert Friend are still together: Her boyfriend of five years, the actor Rupert Friend, apparently gave out batches of her gluten-free brownies on the set of his latest film, The Kid. It?s a very cosy, wifely image: sending your partner out to work with your foil-wrapped home-cooking in his knapsack. So I ask her, as she?s telling me how therapeutic it is to make melanzane alla parmigiana, if she and Friend now live together. ‘I don?t talk about my boyfriend,? she snaps, as fast and as sudden as a trapdoor slamming shut. ‘Not answering anything about it.? A moment passes in which she looks at me as though I?ve just asked the head of MI5 if I can have a go on his computer. ?Definitely not answering that. No!? she exclaims with a big, angry laugh.

Obviously, if she doesn?t want to answer any questions about her personal life, she doesn?t have to. I don?t even have a problem with her way of shooting down questions about her personal life, although she might stop to think that journalists have their job, just the same as her, and it wouldn?t hurt her to be a bit more professional. But it seems like she was just in a horrendous mood for this interview. Or maybe it?s something worse.
Oh, and I do think Keira and Rupert probably split up. Eh.

Keira Knightley has enjoyed a relatively low-key relationship with Rupert Friend for several years now. I think they met on the set of Pride & Prejudice - she was Lizzie Bennett, he was Mr. Wickham. If they met on the set, and started dating, then they?ve been together for more than five years, probably closer to six. For the most part, they keep their stuff relatively free of drama, neither pushing nor hiding their relationship. My point is that there is rarely any dirt about them, so that makes this piece of gossip somewhat exciting? The Daily Mail?s Richard Kay is theorizing that they?ve split up, and that it happened a little while ago and nobody is confirming it yet:
Just the other day, lissom Sienna Miller was talking about how much she envied Keira Knightley?s perfect life and wonderful relationship with handsome actor Rupert Friend. But now I hear that all may not be well with Britain?s most bank-able film star?s five-year romance with Friend.
The first hint of possible problems came last week when Rupert ? who first met Pirates Of The Caribbean star Keira when they appeared in the film version of Pride And Prejudice ? arrived without her at the London Coliseum gala production of English National Ballet?s The Nutcracker.
On Rupert?s arm was his mother, Caroline.
?We all wondered where Keira was, because it was a magical show,? says a fellow guest. ?But Rupert offered no explanation.?
Other guests at the high-profile event included Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Natascha Mcelhone, who greeted Rupert in the interval with hugs and kisses.
And although Rupert looked happy enough that evening, friends fear that behind his smiles, all has not been entirely well with his live-in relationship with Keira, 25. Indeed, some are saying it could be all over between them.
It was only last week that Sienna revealed how she admired Keira?s quiet life with Friend, describing how the couple spend their evenings reading books and discussing topics. ?It?s the kind of life I aspire to,? Sienna said.
Rupert, who is a year older than Keira, became an overnight celebrity when he kissed Johnny Depp in the period drama The Libertine. When he first met Keira, she was still with her long-term boyfriend, model and actor Jamie Dornan and he thought he didn?t have a chance with the Golden Globe-nominated actress. But they got together at Christmas 2005.
Sadly, there is speculation about whether the couple will be pulling Christmas crackers together during the festive season, and Keira, I am told, may be looking forward to a new life on her own.
Keira?s agent says: ?We don?t comment on personal matters.?

Lainey at LaineyGossip thinks that there might be something there, which I think too. It?s mostly because you never hear anything about them, so if friends are starting to creep out to the tabloids and giving random quotes, something is probably up. Also: the guy who wrote this piece, Richard Kay, is a major British gossip guy. He was Princess Diana’s go-to mouthpiece for years when she wanted to get a particular side out. Just sayin’. Of course, Lainey also thinks something is up with Keira in general. What could it be? drugs? She looked kind of drugged out and glassy-eyed when she was promoting Never Let Me Go. Hmm? what?s happening, Keira?

Keira Knightley looks amazing! Her pose is kinda awkward and I don’t like her facial expression, but this is pretty cover and nice to see Keira on it.

This is the cover for the January issue of Vogue UK. It sucks, right? You really have to work HARD to make Keira Knightley look this bad. She must have pissed someone off at the magazine. Anyway, Vogue UK has released some excerpts from the interview - Keira mostly talks about why we haven?t really seen that much of her over the past couple of years. She says that she seriously considered dropping out of the acting profession, just because she wasn?t enjoying it anymore, and she had done too many films back-to-back. Keira describes the ?guilt? she felt doing various projects - which I guess is an allusion to other young actresses who would kill to get even half of the scripts Keira gets sent (coughBielcough):
The actress took a career break, travelling around Europe with friends and enjoying a lifestyle she had missed out on in her teens.
?I think I intended not to work again,? she said. ?I wasn?t enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that. I remember hating the idea that I was in a privileged position and couldn?t see the point of any of it. I had worked solidly since I was 16, ’til 22, and I had not been on holiday in all of that time.?
She added: ?I didn?t know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn?t.?
Knightley eventually did go back to work and has since made four films, also appearing on stage in Martin Crimp?s version of Moliere?s The Misanthrope, a ?challenge? she set herself and one that she loved. But she said that the excessive paparazzi attention had instilled a ?fear? in her that remains today.
?I?m still not good at being recognised,? she said. ?I wear scruffy clothes and hats and keep my head well down? I?m sure people must think I?m a complete b—-, but I?m just very shy.?
Knightley, 25, admitted that she only agreed to take part in her latest film, Never Let Me Go, an adaptation of the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, because co-star Carey Mulligan had asked her to.
?She?s a very good friend of mine and (I felt) if I was to start making films again, she was someone who would watch my back,? she told the January issue of Vogue.
Mulligan agreed: ?Keira is the friend I call when I?m in trouble or suffering from a broken heart. She?ll meet me in the bar with a mojito and be there for me. She reserves herself for the people she really cares about.?
[From The Telegraph]
I don?t think Keira is a bitch, but I do think she was very smart to take it down a notch. There was a time - circa 2006 - where she was EVERYWHERE, and she got annoying. By taking a step back and taking down her press machine for a short time, she gave everyone a breather and she let people miss her, which is always smart. Now if I could only figure out what she did to piss off Vogue UK editors.

Having just been released in Italy, the English version trailer of the movie "Last Night" has made its way onto the web.
Still in search of a U.S. distributor, the Keira Knightley/Eva Mendes film is currently up for grabs - although insiders expect someone to pick up the Massy Tadjedin directed romantic drama in the near future.
Boasting quite the impressive cast, Keira and Eva are joined by male counterparts Sam Worthington and Guillaume Canet.
The story follows "a married couple, apart for a night while the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he's attracted. While he's resisting temptation, his wife encounters her past love."

As she was busy attending the 5th International Rome Film Festival festivities, reports tell that Keira Knightley's home in London fell victim to the intrusion of burglars.
According to Gossip Cop, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" beauty's $2 million spread was broken into during a timeframe ?between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on October 26.?
With no suspects known at the current time, the Gossip Cop report adds that Miss Knightley was missing two laptop computers filled with all of her personal information.
Keira was in Rome through October 28th, during which time she premiered her new movie "Last Night" alongside actress Eva Mendes.

Continuing their time overseas promoting the film ?Last Night,? Keira Knightley and Eva Mendes attended the opening of the 5th International Rome Film Festival in Rome, Italy on Thursday night (October 28).
The ?Pirates of the Caribbean? babe and her ?Hitch? gal pal looked gorgeous upon arrival, quickly being escorted into the theater after checking out a protest over the Italian government?s drastic cuts in funds for cultural events.
The lovely ladies finally made it in inside the Auditorium Parco Della Musica venue with the help of a few bodyguards before 800 plus people stormed the red carpet.
As for their flick, Knightley recently described it as a thought-provoking film that leaves it to the audience to decide just exactly what constitutes cheating.

I hate almost everything about this look from Keira Knightley. She and Eva Mendes are in Rome for the Rome Film Festival, and they are promoting their new film Last Night, which I?ve never heard of. Keira wore Chanel, of course. Chanel dress in navy, with red and cream patterns/detailing, and Chanel booties. I hate both. The dress looks like a jazzed up 1950s housedress, and the booties look Keira lifted some costume pieces from Atonement. What is worse, though, is her hair - now, I was a big fan of this bob. I thought it was adorable a few weeks ago. But the hair might have grown out into something awkward. Either that, or she just didn?t style it correctly. Because it looks like a mess. Not a hot mess either.
Meanwhile, shock of shocks, I love what Eva Mendes is wearing. She looks great! Maybe one of her best red carpet outings in a while. The dress is Oscar de la Renta resort, and the shoes are Miu Miu. Plus, Eva looks like she?s stopped f-cking with her face, thank God. By the way, did anyone else hear the rumor that Eva split from her long-time boyfriend? They were together for something like eight years, and I?ve yet to see a denial or confirmation of the initial report. So? Eva could be single now. The boys will be happy.
