Much like Rihanna, Keira Knightley also went nude but covered with a jacket in the December 2012 issue of Allure UK. She’s in the magazine promoting her new film Anna Karenina. Anyway, Keira tells Allure that she doesn’t mind showing her t*ts because they’re small and no one cares. Hey, her words, not mine.
“They always pencil in my boobs. I was only angry when they were really, really droopy. For [2004 flick] ?King Arthur,? for a poster, they gave me these really strange droopy t*ts. A?. I don?t have t*ts anyway and B? they digitally made them, and I thought, ‘Whoaaa!’ It?s my face on that poster. I thought, ‘Well, if you?re going to make me fantasy breasts, at least make perky breasts.’”
She also told how she has a strict ?no bottom half? clause when it comes to getting naked on film.
She told the US fashion magazine: ?No bottom half! I don?t mind exposing my t*ts because they?re so small ? people really aren?t that interested! [But] I think it?s much easier as you get older. You can say, ?No.? ?Yes.? ?No.? Allure
I also have a strict no bottom half clause. But that’s more judge’s orders than a personal choice. Whatever, man. If they didn’t want just anybody going in to the girl’slocker room, they would put locks on the door.

Looking like a vision in green, Keira Knightley made an appearance on ?The Tonight Show with Jay Leno? on Tuesday (November 13).
Rocking an all-lace Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 frock and natural makeup, the 27 year-old English stunner sat down to discuss her opinions on whether or not she believes in ghosts.
?No I don?t believe in ghosts, but yes I have seen one,? Keira said, continuing to explain, ?I was staying in this hotel?in Los Angeles. I walked into the sitting room?and there was this guy sitting on the sofa. I thought ?oh some guy has come into my room,? and I said to him ?hi I?m really sorry you?re in my room,? and he disappeared.?
?My mom came in and was like ?who are you talking to? and I?m standing there going ?there was [a man there].? I don?t think I had been drinking it was early in the morning. I can?t figure out what it was other than a ghost,? Miss Knightley added.

Just take this as evidence of how slow it is today, gossip-wise. I?m stretching out Keira Knightley?s Allure cover interview and photo shoot to two posts. To be fair to myself, I did include another interview in the earlier post ? it was a nice piece in which Keira talked about how much she sometimes hated the Anna Karenina character, and how she loves that Love, Actually is a Christmas movie. Well, now we?ve got more excerpts from the Allure piece ? Keira talking about body image, feminism and about her engagement. She really does seem so breezy these days. No more dark, morose Keira.
Keira on the claims she was anorexic: “The anorexic stuff — all of that — it’s always going to have an impact, so I think it did hit pretty hard. Because you go, ‘Oh, maybe that’s right!’ I knew I wasn’t anorexic, but maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right. When you’re going through a period where you’re really getting a lot of criticism, you go, ‘Maybe all this is right! You just kind of want to hide it all.’”
On feminism: ?I am a feminist, but I clearly objectify myself ? so that right there is a total contradiction to feminist principles.?
Hitting the wall, and taking time off to travel: “I’d hit a wall and needed to step back in order to learn the things I needed to learn?? But amidst the darkness, she never wanted to abandon her profession: “There’s clearly something in me that goes, No, actually, I know I’ve got something.”
Aging in the spotlight: ?It?s very, very hard on women who get older?I can say that when I?m 27, you know. Talk to me when I?m 37.?
The ticking clock: ?Acting ? it?s not like its offered one day, so it will be offered the next. There?s a little space for you. And when that space appears, you kind of have to jump in because it?s not necessarily going to arrive again.?
On her fianc, James Righton: “Maybe I’ll be permanently engaged!” She also said, “We’re total opposites.” Music is Righton’s life, but “I know nothing about it,” said Knightley.
She feels lucky: “The people I’ve worked with! Having a successful career! It’s absolutely, totally extraordinary, and I’m incredibly lucky! But….” she said. “There isn’t a ‘but’ really. That was it…. I take that ‘but’ back.”
[From Us Weekly and Allure]
I like this new movement to get younger women to self-identify as feminists. I think Romola Garai made a better case for calling herself a feminist, and I feel like Keira?s self-identification as a feminist is good too. I know what Keira means when she says ?but I clearly objectify myself ? so that right there is a total contradiction to feminist principles? ? but I don?t agree with her. I don?t believe it?s un-feminist to objectify yourself. It can move into that sort of Spice-Girls feminism BS of ?it?s empowering to expose my body!? but sometimes a woman DOES achieve empowerment through exposing and objectifying her own body. It?s a complicated discussion!

Is anyone else surprised by this cover from Keira Knightley? I?m surprised. Usually Keira avoids these kinds of ?pants unzipped, blouse undone, lips parted? magazine covers. She looks pretty and different, so I do like it, I?m just surprised that Keira is letting herself be so exposed. Obviously, she covers the December issue of Allure to promote her starring role in Anna Karenina, which I keep forgetting about? but I do want to see. It?s costume p0rn and I do like Keira. We only have a handful of quotes from the Allure piece, but they?re funny:
Keira Knightley has told how Hollywood execs enhance her boobs for film posters. The Pirates of the Caribbean star, who poses topless for Allure’s December 2012 issue with just a small jacket to protect her modesty, normally finds it funny – except when she ended up a pair of saggy breasts.
She said: ?They always pencil in my boobs. I was only angry when they were really, really droopy. For [2004 flick] ‘King Arthur,’ for a poster, they gave me these really strange droopy t*ts. ‘A…. I don’t have t*ts anyway and B… they digitally made them, and I thought, ‘Whoaaa!’ It’s my face on that poster. I thought, “Well, if you’re going to make me fantasy breasts, at least make perky breasts.”’
She also told how she has a strict ‘no bottom half’ clause when it comes to getting naked on film.
She told the US fashion magazine: ‘No bottom half! I don’t mind exposing my t*ts because they’re so small – people really aren’t that interested! [But] I think it’s much easier as you get older. You can say, “No.” “Yes.” “No.”
Keira is currently promoting her new movie Anna Karenina, which is release in the UK on September 7 and the US on November 16.
[From The Mail]
I like how self-deprecating she is about her body (and everything else) these days. Just a few years ago, she wouldn?t have been this ?light? and funny. She would have moodier, grumpier. Maybe it was Rupert Friend that made her grumpy?
HuffPo also had a good interview with Keira a few days ago ? you can read the full piece here, and here are some highlights. I LOVE when she talks about Love, Actually.
In preparing for the film, what did you learn about Anna Karenina as a character that surprised you?
I originally read the book when I was about 19. What was extraordinary was that my memory of the character, from then, was totally different from my perception of her when I re-read it last year before we did the film. I remember her as being incredibly innocent and the victim, and I remember everybody else being hideous and it not being her fault. All of a sudden, I read it again and went, “Oh. Wow.” [Laughs] This was a very different beast and a very different character than I remembered it being. So, that was kind of quite shocking. I had anticipated playing one character and suddenly another one presented itself to me.
Anna is not an anti-hero, per se, but she certainly has a lot of dark shades to her character. Did that aspect of the role excite you?
Absolutely. I think in a lot of modern films, the female characters mainly always have to be likeable. I was really interested in walking the line between making her the heroine and the anti-heroine. I don’t think she is the anti-heroine, but there are certain points within the piece where you do hold her up and go, “I don’t like you and, morally, I have a problem with what you’re doing.” Actually, I think there are certain areas where she’s meant to be condemned, and what was interesting was trying to juggle that with also making her sympathetic and understandable, yet still trying to bring that darker element out. It was one of the great challenges, but it was what made her so exciting to play.
Hollywood is notoriously bereft of strong female characters, yet you seem to find a lot of them to play. Are you very picky with your choices?
I am very picky. And, yes, it is frustrating. But given that I’m not producing and not directing I don’t really have a right to complain. I think it is very difficult to find really interesting roles and there are very few, so I feel incredibly fortunate that this is one [I got to play]. I think, in general, the female audience is a massive one, and actually it’s one that’s rarely really tapped into. Everybody is after that very famous and rather elusive demographic of men, age 18-24. Well, actually, I’m not in that demographic and I want to see women who are complex and strange and people who I can relate to and be terrified of and want to be and all the rest of it. So, I guess, as an actor, that’s what I’m looking for: those people that interest me the most.
On hating Anna: With “Pride and Prejudice,” Elizabeth Bennet is somebody who you love and you’re meant to love. It’s sort of the same with Cecilia Tallis in “Atonement”: As much as she’s a bitch at the beginning and she’s quite icy, you don’t not love her for it. Then you get to Anna and Anna — there’s a real question mark about what you’re meant to feel about Anna. What is her function within the story? It took a lot of discussion. Some days Joe would say, “God, I hate her.” Some days, I’d say, “God, I hate her.”
On ?Love, Actually? becoming a Christmas classic: ?It’s amazing that it turned that kind of Christmas movie, isn’t it? I don’t think anyone realized it was going to do that. It’s nice. That one and “Bend It Like Beckham” have a life beyond release. It’s an extraordinary thing when people come up and go, “Oh, you know, that’s the thing I watch every Christmas.” It’s a lovely thing. That’s why you make them.?
[Via HuffPo]
I love Love, Actually! And yes, I do watch it every Christmas. These are my Christmas season movies: Die Hard (obviously), Love, Actually, It?s a Wonderful Life (I cry every time too) and A Christmas Story. I?ve seen A Christmas Story so many times that I don?t even need to see it from beginning to end. I just need five minutes of it and I can recall, like, all of the dialogue.

Braving the windy Big Apple weather, Keira Knightley headed to "Good Morning America" early this morning (November 8).
The "Atonement" star looked adorable in a black and white dress, black nylons, matching heels, and a black overcoat as she hustled inside during the very chilly morning.
On air to promote her new movie, "Anna Karenina," the 27-year-old actress enjoyed a wardrobe fit for royalty on the movie set of the Leo Tolstoy novel adaptation.
Reportedly, costume designer Jacqueline Durran had $2 million worth of Chanel diamonds on hand to create the costumes int he film.
She told WWD, "But I have to say it was very useful for Keira to have at her fingertips all this fine jewellery, as Anna would. It was the aura of Anna Karenina that we were creating."

These are some photos from a London event last night. The event was ?Chanel: The Little Black Jacket?. There were some decent celebrities at the event, but I just want to talk about Keira Knightley and Sam Taylor Wood (Sam Taylor Johnson?!). First, Keira. She?s wearing Chanel. She looks pretty. Her fianc was not by her side. There are rumors that Keira will get Karl Lagerfeld to design her wedding gown. Does that make sense to you? I can see Keira being into the Chanel drama and detail for a potential wedding gown, but I feel like Keira becomes less fussy and more hippie about everything as she gets older. Still? a Chanel wedding gown is nothing to sniff at, and if anyone could pull it off, I?m sure it?s Keira. As for her little Chanel outfit here? I really do like it. I like her hair these days too.
And here are photos of Sam Taylor Johnson and Aaron Taylor Johnson at the same event. Sam looks GREAT. Her body really rebounds after having babies, doesn?t it? And I like her Chanel ensemble even more than Keira?s. As for Aaron? I used to be attracted to him. I used to think Sam had scored the Cougar Grand Prize with Aaron ? a talented actor, with a great body and a beautiful face. But I have to wonder? was a Aaron kind of a goober this whole time? And by that I mean? is Aaron pretty dorky? I?m getting the feeling that he is pretty dorky.

Ah, premiere photos! I was wondering how this fall and winter could compete with The Summer of Gossip, and these pics remind me of why fall is my favorite time ? all of the big awards-season hopefuls come out to play, and it?s a great time for premieres and fashion and big red carpet moments. These are photos from last night?s UK premiere of Anna Karenina, which many hope will be one of the first big awards-season attention-getters. It helps that Keira Knightley has joined up once again with director Joe Wright, a much-celebrated collaboration which has previously yielded Atonement (which I hated) and Pride & Prejudice (which I loved). Wright has filled out the Karenina cast with actors like Jude Law, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Matthew Macfadyen, Emily Watson and on and on. It looks good!
Anyway, back to the fashion. In this post, I?m just going to be discussing Anna and Alexei, otherwise known as Keira and Jude Law. Keira wore this pale Pink Chanel gown which? ugh. No, now, I don?t hate it completely. I want to fool with the design, make the skirt more flow-y and less like a bell. I want the sheer part of the top to be cut a different way too. So? yes, this is not my style at all, but I ?get? that Keira loves her lace and her super-feminine, cake-looking gowns, so I will accept this. It?s not terrible. It?s just her taste.
But can we talk about Jude Law for a second? Dear God, he looks GREAT. What has been doing? What?s changed? Is it the power of a new rug? Maybe some new plugs? Or has his hairline not been enhanced at all? Did he just get a good night?s sleep and maybe a really great facial? And together with Keira? my, they make such an attractive couple. If Jude was a little bit younger and Keira was a little bit older, I would say that these two might have had a really powerful connection. Keira likes ?em pretty, and Jude likes ?em small. It would have been a match made in heaven.
Shall we watch the trailer again?

Getting down to work on their new project, Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo showed up on the set of ?Can A Song Save Your Life? yesterday (July 26) in New York City.
The ?Pirates of the Caribbean? babe and her ?Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? pal filmed scenes on an outdoor stage while fans and shutterbugs looked on.
During the takes, Keira made a costar blush while Mark smoked a cigarette in front of an old fashioned car on the street.
?Can a Song Save Your Life? is about a dejected music business executive who forms a bond with a young singer/songwriter new to Manhattan. It?s due out next year.

Here’s some photos of Keira Knightley and Adam Levine filming together on the set of Can A Song Save Your Life? in New York City. In the movie, Adam plays a down-and-out record company executive who becomes friends with a hot young singer and songwriter who is new in town. It sounds like a silly sort of movie, but they look like they’re having fun together on the set or, at least, Keira is very good at acting like she’s enjoying herself.
The film’s synopsis doesn’t reveal its genre, but it’s probably a romantic comedy. Mark Ruffalo also stars too, so that’s something to look forward to as well.
Now here’s a closer look at Adam’s new scruffy beard, which he also debuted on his Twitter account with the caption, “Grizzly Man!” I can’t really make a judgment call on this one because I find him so douchey on a consistent basis, but does he look better with this beard or as his former, clean-shaven self? Keira looks lovely as always.

I read Anna Karenina years and years ago. I probably read it before I could actually understand the denseness of Leo Tolstoy?s prose, and as such, I really only remember small fragments of the book. I should go back and re-read it, shouldn?t I? I should. Anyway, after I read it, I somehow managed to avoid all of film and television adaptations, so when I go into to see this new version – directed by Joe Wright, adapted for the screen by Tom Stoppard – the story will be fresh and new to me.
I actually think Joe Wright is a very talented director, one of the rare modern directors who can make a period costume drama feel contemporary and fresh. I loved his film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which also starred Keira Knightley (and earned her an Oscar nomination). Wright and Knightley worked together again in Atonement, a film that I ended up hating. It?s not really Keira?s fault or Joe Wright?s fault – I can?t stand Ian McEwan?s writing. The plots of his books are always asinine.
Anyway, back to Anna Karenina. Keira and Joe Wright reunite for their third film together, and this time it?s a doozy. Keira is Anna. Jude Law plays her husband. Aaron Johnson plays Vronsky, Anna?s lover. The cast also includes Matthew Macfadyen (Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice!!), Kelly MacDonald, Emily Watson, Ruth Wilson, Olivia Williams and Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey!). Here?s the trailer:
