You know that saying "I trust you as far as I could throw you"? Well, Keira Knightley is so skinny that we reckon we could easily throw her over 300 metres, javelin-style – and, as such, this means we trust Keira Knightley a whole bloody lot.
So when Keira Knightley says that, yes, she may be skinnier than a chronically underfed shoelace but, no, it doesn't mean that she's got an eating disorder, we have no option but to trust her. And also Keira Knightley would sue us to high heaven if we even so much as thought for a second that she had anorexia. And she would too – Keira Knightley is suing a newspaper for printing a picture of her in a bikini to illustrate an article about a teenager who died of anorexia. Now, if the story had been about a teenager who died from being a bit posh and starring in a film as shit as Domino, Keira Knightley wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
For a skinny lass, Keira Knightley has never been too afraid of whipping her clothes off – in the past Keira has posed naked with Scarlett Johansson and she'll soon star in a lesbian sex film with Lindsay Lohan – but for Keira Knightley, acceptable skin-baring is all about context. For instance, she's quite happy to get her arse out in a film but if you print pictures of her wearing a bikini and being all skinny in an article about a girl who was so skinny that she died, implying that Keira Knightley murdered the girl by not eating very much, then prepare to get your legs sued from out underneath you, as E! Online reports:
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has sued Britain's Daily Mail for insinuating that she was dangerously thin by using a photo of her in a bikini to illustrate a Jan. 11 article about a teenage girl who died from anorexia. The story, which featured an interview with the dead teen's mother, ran under the headline, "If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived." According to Schillings, the law firm representing Knightley in the matter, the article "made reference to what it perceived to be Ms. Knightley's very slim appearance," and suggested that she was indirectly responsible for the girl's death by setting a bad example.
How dare anyone say such things about Keira Knightley, the greatest Hollywood starlet of all time. Keira Knightley knows she's skinny but she doesn't care. She doesn't even mind that the majority of people think that Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was named after her undernourished boobies. But blaming her for the deaths of anorexic girls she's never met, could be seen by some as crossing a line. Provided an out of court settlement isn't made in the meantime, Keira Knightley's case will come late this year or early next year.
If this all sounds a bit familiar, that's because it is – last year
Kate Hudson sued The National Enquirer over an article that said she
was painfully thin. And if it still sounds familiar, you're probably thinking about skinny old Nicole Richie. Quite what that means, we don't know – probably that Keira Knightley will start loading up on pot and painkillers and drive into oncoming traffic on a motorway before long.
We didn't mean that. Please don't sue us Keira.
