When Keira met Clooney
Scotsman.com News - Features - When Keira met Clooney: "MOVIE stars have a habit of causing a stir. When the production for The Jacket landed in West Lothian last January, it was no different. 'Hollywood comes to Dechmont,' one village shopkeeper excitedly scrawled on a sign he put over a window display consisting of a home made clapperboard, cans of film and a projector. After all, it's not every day an Oscar-winner - in the shape of The Pianist's Adrien Brody - comes to stay.

Come to think of it, it's a pretty rare occurrence when George Clooney jets into town. He was on board as an executive producer, and even co-star Keira Knightley was a little taken aback by the his surprise arrival in Scotland. 'I said 'Hi' and 'Bye!' That was it. And the 'Hi' and 'Bye' were rather breathless.'

Even a friend in the crew couldn’t convince the Love Actually star to go and break the ice. 'I failed completely and haven't seen him since.'"

Keira's a bit nippy
MegaStar - Keira's a bit nippy: "All the red-tops are running snaps of Brit movie babe Keira Knightley. She's been out house-hunting in central London, with boyfriend Jamie in tow.

Nothing exciting about that, you'd think. But the lanky lovely was clearly feeling the cold, wearing only a thin top and cardie.

Taking a break from filming the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, she could be seen wandering the streets of Marylebone with what can only be described as a couple of bullets hidden down her top.

The paps love a good nipple shot and flat-chested Keira more than made up for what she lacks in the actual rack department with a dazzling display of peanut-smuggling.

The rake-like lollipop head was wearing a turban-style headscarf which only served to make her head look bigger and the rest of her look even smaller."

Knightley's outgoing persona 'an act' - mum
IOL: Knightley's outgoing persona 'an act' - mum: "Keira Knightley's playwright mother sees through her daughter's public persona because she is really an introverted person.

The 20-year-old British beauty is more likely to stay home with her head in a book than out socialising according to mother Sharman MacDonald.

MacDonald says: 'She's not an extrovert at all. The way she comes across in her publicity and television interviews is nothing more than a public front. We tend to spend most of our time with our heads buried in a book.

'Reading is like a drug for us. People say it's anti-life, but we can't help it. My father ready three books a day, and the kids have grown up surrounded by them.'"

Keira Knightley finds perfection too boring
Keira Knightley finds perfection too boring!:- - Entertainment News - Webindia123.com: "Keira Knightley is fed up of being perceived as perfect and wants to play more real life characters like her role in upcoming movie 'The Jacket', in which she plays a darker and more complex character.

'I always think imperfection is much more interesting than the perfect. Everyone wants to be perfect but it's boring. It's not real. Characters who are deeply flawed are a million times more interesting to watch. You can actually identify with them,' femalefirst quoted Keira as saying.

Keira also says that she is wary of moving to Los Angeles, because of the pressure to always look good.

'I honestly don't know if I could ever live in LA. I'd never say never because who knows, but at the moment I'm very happy living in London. I just think it's a scary place for a young girl,' she said."

IOL: 'Pirates' stars set for high-seas junket
"Pirates of the Caribbean stars Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are taking to the high seas for real by joining a round-the-world yacht race, it was announced today.

The Hollywood trio will help to crew a boat taking part in the gruelling Volvo Ocean Race.

The vessel will be named the Black Pearl - after the pirate ship in the film - and its sail will feature a giant skull and crossbones.

It is all part of a marketing stunt to promote the forthcoming release of the sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

The stars will split the race between them - Knightley will join the boat while it is in Europe, Bloom will cover South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and Depp will be on board when the yacht reaches the US and Brazil."
