Quote Of The Day

“I absolutely hate red carpet events. I don’t like the fact that people write ‘Oh you look like crap’ [afterwards] or 'I don't like your arms'. I’m not Wonder Woman! I have self-esteem issues. Everybody does. You know, skinny people are allowed to feel shit about themselves [too].”

- Keira Knightley tells the new issue of Allure

      Re: sarah – She's SOUND? Are u kidding? She obviously has issues, love her all you want but don't deny that! Doesn't she have anything better to talk about than her body this is all we hear from her, boring.

      i really, really need keira to find a new profession. she hates red carpets, she hates people looking at her "natural" skeletal weight, she hates having her picture taken, she hates getting dressed up. i am sooooooo tired of her constant whining about how "hard" her life is–shut up!! i seriously wish magazines would grant her request and just stop covering her

      Those of u saying to walk away b/c she doesn't like the red carpet…have you walked away from your jobs b/c of one annoying aspect?? You probably settle with it for thousands and she would walk away from millions. She has every right, no matter how much she makes, to not revel in being harshly judged.

      She has issues alright, what she lacks in weight she makes up for in her over inflated ego. GO AWAY.

      as if anyone ever actually wishes they were fat.. she was probably just saying that to appease her obese fan base…

      She should just stop now, use all the money she has accumulated from making her movies and live like a normal person somewhere in Virginia or North Carolina or something. Geez.

      get a job, keira! i find it amusing that you are "a snob about qualifications" … particularly, since you do not have any, lol.

      Kiera needs to live a harder life and maybe then she won't feel like shit b/c her life seems like it would be awesome by most people's standards in the universe.

      Of course anyone can _feel_ bad.

      How ever, people who are better off (money, looks, fitness, socially, whatever) usually know not to complain about it since they are lucky.

      Please!!!! Do not attract attention with little dresses that show your back bones or big dresses that try to cover them. She lost at least 10 pounds since she is in America. She looked skinny and still healthy in "Bend it like Bekcham" but now she is so dramatically small, boney. She needs treatment and, yes, a sandwich. She hates red carpet because everybody says: she is anorexic and really she looks like.

      BOOOO HOOOOO BITCH! DEAL WITH WHAT YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO! MAYBER TRY EATING FOR ONCE AND THEY WONT MAKE FUN OF YOUR SKINNY ASS! I SOMEWHAT AGREE WITH YOU GIRLFRIEND, BUT DEAL WITH IT GIRL….

      118

      Oh please, she's not THAT thin. Give me a break. And, who wouldn't give their left breast to walk down a red carpet with people screaming your name and news casters asking you questions while you kids sit at home with their nanny and the maid cooks their dinner. Please, Keira, stop trying to act like the suffering artist.

      123

      FINALLY!!!
      A REAL ACTRESS! NOT A SKINNY ROBOT!

      126

      I agree with her totally. I hate it how everyone goes on about how skinny people/celebs are such bad role models who set an un-realistic body shape standard. I hate it even more when people say oh, that skinny person isnt a real woman, real women have curves. WHAT THE FUCK!? So someone who is naturally skinny isnt a real woman? Statistically, more than half the American population is overweight or obese. So its ok for fat people to be on television because they're a 'real woman'? Fuck that, they're the ones setting a bad example! A real woman takes care of her body and excersises and eats well…could people please stop bitching about skinny people. Get the fuck over and accept that there a slim people in the world! Since when is being skinny a crime?

      Keira is a lovely young woman and a talented actress, but she still has quite a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully she'll soon realize that the silly posturing and gratuitously foul language aren't necessary in order to draw attention. She can do that by just being her beautiful self .. thin or thick.

      I'm sorry but i think Keira Knightley is wonderful. Everyone has some self esteem problems at least she's able to admit it. It's also nice to see a fellow English woman taking Hollywood by storm, L.A. needs some British class. She is a true English rose and i say good on her for speaking her mind.
