Aug 21 2007Keira Knightley is wise
Keira Knightley shared some pearls of wisdom during an interview with UK's Radio Times.
On looking good
"Somebody goes, 'Gosh, you're pretty.' Thanks. I've got good genes! OK, I'm on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the makeup, and airbrushes the fuck out of me – it's not me, it's something other people have created."
On being rich and famous
"It frightens me when kids go, 'I want to be famous.' Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book [a table], you can get into a restaurant! 'I want to be rich and famous.' Go and work on the stock market."
On suing Britain's Daily Mail for suggesting she had an eating disorder
"You couldn't say anything more horrendous. So yes, I did take a hard line, and I would take that line again."
So Keira Knightley's advice for people who want to be rich and famous is to go into the stock market. Brilliant brilliant stuff. I mean, Hollywood, stock market, they're basically the same thing. It's like telling somebody who dreams of being an astronaut to get a job at Costco. Because, you know, they sell telescopes. Same thing!

Obviously taken out of context. The other two comments make perfect sense. This is a little bit desperate.

8. Duchess of Dork - August 21, 2007 11:15 AM
She's a terrible actress. She does this thing when she wants to be passionate, where she juts out her jaw. It's weird. Bitch needs a steak.
9. Lovely - August 21, 2007 11:17 AM
There's nothing more hot than chest bones and a rib cage... sexy sexy

Nice rack.
11. edan - August 21, 2007 11:21 AM
Um...why has no one commented on this dress.
It's gold lamé with a bedazzled belt. She looks like she got it at "Trashy Slut Whores from the 80s".

Knew she was too good to be true, Keira Knightley: Brains and Beauty. What a fool I am.

Did she get a double mastectomy for precautionary reasons? Ethiopian boys are more chesty.

Doesn't she realize how UNATTRACTIVE she looks in that dress? That dress was not made for a boy!

I vote to take this bitch to Popeye's so she can get herself a 10 piece and some biscuits, and WHERE the fuck are her tits?
23. wedgeone - August 21, 2007 12:01 PM
Look at her body, pretend she's 13, get rock hard.
It's a simple equation, folks. You can keep your KimberlyStewardNormalCellulite asses, and your RealHipposHaveCurves. I'll take the young girl in her prime, thanks.
24. Hi, I'm Ken - August 21, 2007 12:01 PM
She may be wise, but dayum, what a lardass!
25. lambman - August 21, 2007 12:03 PM
#3 - I agree, her comments are actually pretty level headed and reasonable, of course if you cut them up and put it together like that it sounds a bit goofy...but I pretty much agree with the points she's making
1) in reality she doesn't look how she does on mag coveres
2) people want to be rich and famous for the wrong reasons, to me she's saying "if you want to be an actor, be an actor, if you just want to be rich go work in stocks"
3) tabloids shouldn't be allowed to lie about people's medical conditions
26. Warren Piece - August 21, 2007 12:03 PM
Aw come on! There's nothing sexier than a woman comfortable in her own skin. Chicks with small boobs that flaunt them/don't pad them is so hot. Truly. She's a beautiful girl, making some (refreshingly) honest comments. Though she has cankles which drives me nuts.
27. p911gt10c - August 21, 2007 12:07 PM
She's hot, she's got a brain and a feisty attitude. So wrong for this site.
And for the record, small tits are fuckin HOT. They'll never sag and most times don't even need a bra, so bring 'em on!
28. umawwi - August 21, 2007 12:20 PM
This cow has the worst posture in the world. And she's ugly. And stupid.

did anyone else notice her eyebrows?? they look gray!
31. Malffy Hernandes - August 21, 2007 12:56 PM
What in the fuck? I hate how stars say they hate their job and yet...thye still do it? Backwards idiots, I think God I was born wealthy because these assholes are bloody mad with this talk.
32. TR - August 21, 2007 1:08 PM
pretentious cunt. I hope she gets by a bus.
33. jrzmommy - August 21, 2007 1:20 PM
Most Truthful Thing She Said:
"I would take that line again."
And we all know what she meant..............
34. A very tired New Yorker - August 21, 2007 1:32 PM
I love when these "already famous and rich" celebs start pontificating on how fake the actors life is blah-blah-blah. Shaddap and enjoy your fame and be grateful.
It's like when a New Yorker goes to Compton with the aloof attitude of "Pfft, I'm from New York" and gets a cap in his ass.
Don't know what the connection is but I'm going for the fake aloof aspect here.
35. some guy - August 21, 2007 1:33 PM
"I hate how stars say they hate their job and yet...thye still do it? "
She said nothing of the kind. NOTHING.

Wow, you're not very bright, are you? That's not what she's saying at all.

I thought that jaw thing was the English "upper-crusty talk through your teeth" thing. I never saw it your way, very interesting.
38. Malffy Hernandes - August 21, 2007 2:08 PM
Yes she did, pretty much by encouraging others not to do it she implied it.
39. MoonChild - August 21, 2007 3:27 PM
I'd only do her a month after she agreed to go on a double cheeseburger and chocolate malt diet for 30 straight days, 3 times a day....EAT SOMETHING !
40. LauraE - August 21, 2007 3:44 PM
Why would someone hire her when one can have Cameron Diaz ? Is she much cheaper or what ?
41. Dr. Douche - August 21, 2007 4:07 PM
And remember folks, these are photos. In real life she looks even skinnier.
(ewwwww - shivering)
She is purty though.
42. td - August 21, 2007 5:11 PM
I lost money on the stock market during the internet bubble!!!
43. Shuthefuckup - August 21, 2007 6:59 PM
I am so sick of this bullshit whining and crying thats she's rich and famous. Please go crawl in a hole and spend your days counting all your money then, so other people can get your movie roles.
44. nagger please - August 21, 2007 7:11 PM
I know how to shut her up.. I'll stick my dick in her mouth.. It's amazing what I'd do for you guys..
45. Courtney - August 21, 2007 7:20 PM
Hey Mr. Superfish, as the officially least funny/clever/relevant blogger ever, do you really feel like you're in any position to criticize? Well, obviously you do, but honestly... you're a joke. I'd say telling kids to stay the hell away from Hollywood and steer toward business is pretty good fucking advice, as hypocritical as it may be.
46. Sarah - August 21, 2007 7:51 PM
There's nothing more horrendous they could say?
What if they said she was a murderer? Or a child molester? Or a thief? Or had a history of sickening cruelty to animals?
But no. A comment about her body and how she looks is the worst thing she can think of. Keira Knightley stinks.
47. UNCLE NED - August 21, 2007 8:13 PM
What is it exactly about this thin, flat-chested bitch that is supposed to be so hot?
Stunning? Feisty? Is there something about her face that's overwhelmingly beautiful? She's got no curves, and a typical British-asshole attitude to boot.
Lohan (when she wants to be) is prettier than this flat board.
48. papa bear - August 21, 2007 8:29 PM
she is technically right, but for someone who got into acting to be rich, famous etc, it's pretty hypocritical to tell people it's ridiculous. No one gets into acting at 16 for the craft of acting, nor do you get into on camera work. If she was a stage actress making these comments I might buy it more.
It's the typical response from an actress who sees her days as the 'next big thing' fading.
49. asdfsaf - August 21, 2007 8:30 PM
DOES KIERA EVER FUCKING CLOSE HER LIPS????????????????
she's got an underbite, and never seals those lips.
always a crack in them
50. scout - August 21, 2007 8:30 PM
hey courtney-
i had no idea this was the least funny blog ever. where are are these funnier ones? it must be yours. where is yours? is it full of hyperboles and exagerrations borne out of bitterness because you are a 46 year old uglier version of your own mother still working as a lame ass admin assistant whos about to get fired because she doesnt work, she just reads blogs and declares them all the be THE WORST ever when they say one thing she doesnt agree with?
shut the hell up. thanks! and go check the fax machine too.
51. scout - August 21, 2007 8:48 PM
also, courtney, who the hell are YOU to criticize, since you not only read this site, YOU COMMENT ON IT. i think fox news blows harder than your mom, so i dont watch it. simple.
and um, i love hollywood bullshit. i love the superficial.
also, for sure the fish was way off base on this one, because i dont think keira was trying to be wise. she wasnt dictating a thesis on her personal philosophy on the meaning of life. i think she was trying to be funny. i appreciate people who dont take stuff too seriously and weave humor into everyday life.
52. lmao - August 21, 2007 10:10 PM
@ 30... yeah, they do. but i think it's b/c her natural color is really dark... and the brows aren't working with the blonde hair. idk. i still think she's gorgeous. i'll take flat over fake any day.
53. I'M A FUCKING CORPSE IN AFRICA, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THAT NO ONE CARES. - August 21, 2007 11:29 PM
51 you both have a point and are incredibly pretentious and slightly average in your dumbness. GREAT. So you have something to work on, run along now.
45 Hi, I'm a CORPSE. Kindly expound your inner me me me in a more relevent manner. All know this sight has gone downhill, drastically, in the last year. Mainly due to commenters like yourself, adding no humour, nor insight, to the pastime of celebrity bashing. Soooo.....say something funny or fuck yourself with a quarter yard of stone, missy.
That is all.
54. I'M A FUCKING CORPSE IN AFRICA, BUT THERE ARE SO MAY THAT NO ONE CARES - August 21, 2007 11:31 PM
I forgot to mention, that I would make K. N. a lesbian. Cuz, if I get a chance to make sweet love to a woman of this caliber.......well, "every orifice" will become passe' in the aftermath.
Fuck off, and goodnight you cunts!
55. 3Foot Lizard - August 22, 2007 1:57 AM
#9- Damn straight.
Keira, stfu and EAT! I've seen 9 year olds with bigger tits.
56. scout - August 22, 2007 4:27 AM
yay! i was always sad cause i thought i was too smart to go into something glamorous like politics or modeling or living in laguna beach. now im gonna pursue my dream of being on mtv--a third party has confirmed i am pretentious! and average in my dumbness! now i can have better looking friends and possibly get paid for being hot. look, i was just pretentious and dumb again! in this post! OMG!
thanks african corpse. i wish i had more friends like you, who are thin, direct, and dumb and pretentious just like me. also i wish you said something about the post? also i am totally cool with being a petty person who has nothing better to do than have lame fights on comment boards. it is way more fun that i'd expected.
57. KAT - August 22, 2007 7:41 AM
SHE LOOKS LIKE THE "CRYPT KEEPER", ONLY HE HAS MORE MEAT ON HIS BONES! SUPERCILIOUS SKELETON!!!!!
58. Keira Fan - August 22, 2007 7:46 AM
Thanks for the post on my fave actress - love her! She has a refreshing frankness and more balls than most actors.
59. nancy reagan - August 22, 2007 9:02 AM
superficial, i love your bitchiness, but she's one of the only grounded young actresses who has real talent. cut her some slack. and this is such an over-reach anyway...
60. HeyDay - August 22, 2007 9:46 AM
It's so funny how fatties always try to make themselves feel better by using the 11 year old boy line about women with small breasts. more than a mouthful is a waste! small breasts are sexy now and they will be sexy years down the road, unlike those floppy ass saggy boobs on big girls with the freakin' pepperoni nipples on them! those are nasty
61. frenchie - August 22, 2007 10:05 AM
That hair color looks horrible on this snot nose guy. When did brassy become sexy? He needs to go home and start over.
62. tittas swayin in the breeze - August 22, 2007 10:10 AM
Who wants to see my floppy ass saggy boobs and pepperoni nips? Anyone?
63. jonesey - August 22, 2007 10:19 AM
Not I!!
64. not keira. - August 22, 2007 10:41 PM
you left out the part where she admitted her acting sucked in Bend It Like Beckham.
I can't remember where but I somehow read the article a few days ago. Although I guess she thinks she's inproved since she only refers to her bad acting as being in the past (lol)
As for the eating disorder- like anyone fucking cares whether she is actually anorexic or not. She just went to court for the drama of it and to get it on record, broadcast to as many people as possible, that she is anorexic thin, but not anorexic. Wow. How is that possible? Amazing. Well done to her.
I didn't know good genes made you "pretty" Gave you a really wide manly face, horrible looking (although flat) stomach, acne, buck teeth and dyslexia.
I'm glad I don't have those "good" genes. But having a mother AND father who were successful in theatre/tv to get me into Hollywood even though I can't act for shit would be good to have.
65. skinny minny - August 22, 2007 11:22 PM
NOPE! No eating disorder here!
66. Harry's fan - August 22, 2007 11:33 PM
She reminds me of the Death eater Bellatrix Lestrange in the movie Harry Potter 4.
67. martha - August 22, 2007 11:42 PM
So what if you agree with her? Saying that doesn't make her a genius or "real" or "fiesty"
Don't you see that's what she's doing..purposely.
She is trying to act all normal. She throws out things like "oh I just got this shirt out of topshop, £10! bargain!" to pretend she is so down to earth, then she goes out in her £4000 dress to the premier of her new film and only dates rich models.
Yeah, she suuuure is keepin' it real.
It's pretty obvious that she tries to act that way but completely fails to be convincing. Some people don't realise that's what's going on though. I'll explain.
If you think she's hot that's okay. Just don't make up stupid excuses for her, and try to say she has a good personality or actually makes any sense.
She actually has NO personality, unless being fake, pretentious, snobby or completely irrelevant counts.
68. Michelle - August 22, 2007 11:55 PM
There's nothing WRONG with having small breasts, just don't go around wearing dresses designed to show off your cleavage.. if you don't have any.
Simple.
69. sva1994 - August 23, 2007 1:27 AM
>>>"I mean, Hollywood, stock market, they're basically the same thing."
Someone please tell the retard who writes these blog entries that she was saying to become a broker INSTEAD of becoming an actor. And if he's aware of this, and thought acting obtuse was funny, please tell him that he's not.
70. someone who can read - August 23, 2007 3:27 AM
Actually, try reading it again.
She said:
kids tell me they want to be famous and it frightens me.
She suggests that if you want to be RICH AND FAMOUS you go and work the stock market.
It's not only a ridiculous thing to say, but it doesn't even address the point. They first and foremost want to be famous.
You don't get famous from stocks. Duh.
She makes such an ass of herself. She obviously doesn't realise how patronising it sounds. Of course she has no problem making fun of people for wanting what she got so easily. If she wasn't already rich and famous she would be a regular spotty, ugly, poor student. Being ignored and angry and desiring fame and money like most if not all young people.
71. alan - August 23, 2007 10:12 AM
too much swearing
72. LauraE - August 29, 2007 10:34 AM
Did anyone notice how KEIRA KNIGHTLEY looks like WINONA RYDER ? When I see a magazine cover with one of them, I have to think a while before I can figure out which one I am looking at. And I turn the page to check. However, Winona can act better. I just saw a movie with Keira, she had this "look at me I am cute" attitude all the time, dark staring eyes and mouth slightly open, subtly smiling, quite nerve raking actually because it did not fit in with the Jane Austen story.
