The next issue of Vanity Fair gives a shout out to Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary career in film. They have some fantastic photos of the new Hollywood pretending to be old Hollywood and doing poses representing the films of Hitchcock. There’s Gwyneth Palthrow and Robert Downey, Jr. in To Catch a Thief; Renee Zellweger in Vertigo, Seth Rogan in North by Northwest, Charlize Theron in Dial M for Murder, and Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem in Rear Window.

They aren’t the originals, but they aren’t too bad.

Were there any editors involved in picking out the photos to use in this W Magazine cover. This is Keira Knightley looking ghostly … er … I mean ghastly. She and James McAvoy are doing their thing for this cover shoot … I guess. If their thing has something to do with looking pissed off and like you’ve been dead for a few weeks. Even her eyes look like they’ve been propped open.

Her hair is awful, her outfit is hideous, that demin bra has GOT to go and she looks like she’s got a really nasty attitude. Wait. She DOES have a really nasty attitude. Maybe this was the best picture out of the bunch.

The ever whining and pouting Keira Knightley is just not that into Hollywood and says she’d never live there.

The British actress says she loves living in London because of the cosmopolitan lifestyle there helps her development as an actress – something Tinseltown could never manage.

She explains in a new magazine interview, “It’s a funny place - I could never live in Hollywood, because there’s nowhere to escape to. You find yourself sitting around a lot and every conversation you have is about the movies.

“I think you have to be in a city that has different walks of life that you can observe - and, for me, that’s London.” [source]

Okay …. and?

Keira Knightley does a seductive near nude photo shoot for Interview Magazine. In the magazine she complains about the grief she gets over being so thin and maybe causing young girls to become anorexic trying to look like her. She says its not fair to put her in that position. She doesn’t like being a role model. She doesn’t think there should BE role models. She doesn’t think anyone should expect ANYTHING from her! WHAAAAAA!!!!! pout, pout. Whaaaa!

She expects her pay check though.

Keira Knightley poses nude, again, this time for Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. She has signed a 500,000 pound one-year contract to be the new … face … of Chanel. The British posters have added a few curves to her figure while the American posters have remained true to her boyish figure.

“Those things certainly weren’t mine,” she told a U.S. magazine.

‘We had an interesting discussion when they said, “We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approvalî and I was like, ‘OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a s***’”

The actress has said in the past that she is happy to strip off for a role. Talking about nudity in films, she said: “I have certain tools. One of them is my body.”

Keira follows in the footsteps of a string of beauties as the face of Chanel ….

Jamie Dornan is best known as Keira Knightley’s ex-boyfriend and he doesn’t like it even a little bit. He is a model and actor with with a bit of a resume of his own. You might remember him as Marie Antoinette’s lover in the movie Marie Antoinette. Or as the guy who modeled Calvin Klein jeans with Kate Moss.

Whoops, he’s still being referred to by the women he worked with. Moving on …

Jamie Dornan says that he ‘regrets even dating Keira Knightley, for he’s now more well know for being her ex than for his talents.’ The hot Irish hunk dated the Pirates of the Caribbean star for about two years. The quit dating in 2005.

“People knew me in the fashion world before I started going out with Keira because I’ve done some good work but it’s proving so hard to lose the stigma that’s attached,” Jamie complained to press.

“I can’t shake off the title of Keira Knightley’s exboyfriend. It frustrates me so much because Dave (Alexander, his band mate in group Sons Of Jim ) and I have been writing music together for five years, before I even met Keira, and getting places with it and creating awareness,” he told press.

He has been in a few movies and ads. He’s definitely a hunk. But honestly, would you know who he is if he hadn’t dated Keira Knightley. Maybe he can make it big himself and then they’ll refer to Keira Knightley as Jamie Dornan’s ex-girlfriend.

He’s also been linked romantically with Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.
