keira-knightley-duchess-09.jpgHere I was catching up on one of my guilty pleasures (gossip blog reading) when this article caught my eye. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Someone needs to explain to me why Keira Knightly is the actress du jour because I, for the life of me, cannot see the appeal. And so far, she's been the main actress in three book adaptations, all books that I've really loved - Pride and Prejudice (my absolute favourite!), Atonement and now Georgiana (renamed the Duchess for this movie). I hated her so much in Pride and Prejudice (and to think she was nominated for an Oscar for the role when there were so many other more worthy candidates that year) that I had to watch the A&E version twice to remove her terrible acting from my head.

On top of it all, she's the new face of Channel? It's almost sacrilegious!

As far as I am concerned, Keira Knightly has two ranges as an actress - Overly Indignant or Pompously Righteous.

I know, I know. Obviously some people must love her if she's so popular. I am definitely not one of them. It's been a very upsetting morning so far, I must say.

i used to like her until the bags under her eyes were in competition with the bones sticking out of her body!!!!!

Oh, I know. I do not get it either. I mean, I kinda got the whole Scarlett Johansen thing, but then she didn't really do anything with her talent, and people get masively distracted by her breasts.
I was really rooting for Zoe Deschanel and Rachael McAdams, but they haven't really done much lately either. Sigh. Where's a good gamine when you need her?
At least Natalie Portman is slowly redeeming herself.

Jenna - Yeah, I think I sort of liked her when she first started but her weight issue puts me off. And she keeps saying she doesn't have one. And all I want to do is feed her fatty cheese.

Beth - You're hilarious! Scar-Jo does have quite impressive tits though. Rachel McAdams is doing "The Time Traveller's Wife" with Eric Bana as we speak. I hope it turns out well because I loved that book. At least Natalie Portman, being the age that she is hasn't turned out like Lindsay Lohan. And she's made some intresting choices...
