This Sunday could possibly be the biggest Sunday ever for Keira Knightley. She’s been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar, and she’s starting to get the jitters a little bit, mainly about what she’ll wear.
While Keira is obviously bricking it about being up for such a prestigious award in front of the bitchiest people on the planet, you’d expect that her nearest and dearest would all rally around her to show her their support.
Nope – an ex boyfriend of Keira Knightley has decided to take this time to publicly rake through the ruined ashes of their failed relationship. Attaboy.
You’d think that Keira Knightley (DVDs) wouldn’t be too worried about
Sunday’s Oscars – after all, if she can get her norks out in most of
her films and on the cover of a magazine, she can wear a dress and walk up
a bit of carpet – but she seems to be getting quietly stressed out by
the whole affair. Speaking on the Ellen DeGeneres show, Keira – who has been sent more than 100 Oscars dresses to choose from – said:
"It’s a bit like being in a dog show in a funny
way. You kinda get trotted out as Britain’s prize poodle, I suppose,
wearing your dress and they give you marks out of ten for what you are
wearing and what your jewels are like. It’s a bit scary."
And
to add to worries of Keira Knightley, one of her ex boyfriends has
chosen now to blab all about why their relationship was such a pathetic
hopeless wreckage. Jamie Doran told The Sun that she dumped him because
he was a bit of a failure compared to her. He hadn’t been in a film
about funny pirates, for a start, or rubbed his tit into a man’s face
in a desert:
"The man is meant to
be the alpha in the relationship on the money and the power front and
clearly I was not. You feel like you have to be dominant in other areas
and that causes problems. Keira could see what I was going through. She
was the one who finally said: ‘OK, that’s it, I’ve had enough’."
Apparently,
though, Keira Knightley and Jamie Doran are still friends. Because
there’s nothing more friendly than selling a breakup story to a
newspaper, is there? And anyway, Keira needn’t worry about the Oscars –
she’s 33/1 to win the Best Actress Oscar, so she doesn’t even have to turn up if she doesn’t want to.
