I want to wish Keira a very happy and wonderful 24th birthday!

On a side note, I’m still trying to decide the direction I want this site to take.  It has not been abandoned.

Keira has been nominated for best female movie star for this year’s People’s Choice Awards. She is also in the running for favorite star under 35 and ‘The Duchess’ is up for best independent movie. Cast your votes now!

VOTE FOR KEIRA

Keira Knightley has claimed corsets are the reason women were always considered “the weaker sex,” femalefirst.co.uk reports.

The 23-year-old actress — who has donned the restrictive undergarments in period dramas including Pride and Prejudice and The Duchess — says the waist cinchers stopped oxygen getting to the brain, making females seem less intelligent than they were.

She told Hamptons magazine: “It’s obvious why women were called the weaker sex, because you can hardly breathe in a corset. It’s a fight just to get oxygen to your brain.”

Talked about for her weight rather than her work, Keira Knightley is the beautiful tomboy who loves acting but not the limelight. As her latest role is tipped to win her an Oscar, she tells Chrissy Iley about her unease at being one of cinema’s biggest names.

Keira Knightley is at a table tucked under the stairs in a corner of her favourite Lebanese restaurant in the West End of London. Her brother, Caleb, discovered it and judging by the amount of free food that is bestowed upon us, she’s a regular and valued customer.

Politely she asks me if I know anything about Lebanese food and when I say I don’t, she takes the reins and orders for both of us.

Chatting while we wait, Knightley is relaxed, composed, thoughtful and funny – and completely unstarry. She says she can’t find foundation pale enough for her porcelain complexion so her skin is make-up free and her long, dark hair, with highlights grown out at the end, seems untouched by a hairdresser. In fact she can’t understand my fascination with hair and what it reveals about a person. Hers reveals that she has a tremendous lack of all those superficial things that you expect to be essential to leading ladies.

A new batch of photos from the set of ‘Last Night’ have surfaced.  These were taken on November 5th.

Thanks to the lovely Hayley, we have a small selection of screencaps of a 10-year old Keira in the show ‘The Bill’.
