Oct 19 2007Keira Knightley in 'The Duchess'
Whether it's her brilliant acting or some kind of visual effect, Keira Knighley has me nearly convinced that her emaciated frame would be able to support such a weighty headpiece in this shot from the set of The Duchess. In fact, the only one who seems to notice the comical proportions is the chuckling man to the right, who appears to be an 18th century Jimmy Fallon. So, if he's anything like current Jimmy Fallon, he's more likely just laughing at himself.

She wears too much clothing.

No, wait. You know what would make a good hat... a black velvet stetson with a fox on top. Or maybe a few ferrets. And on top of that, get this, a mound of shaved coconut. Tasteful... and also delicious.

Where has she been?

The problem with historic dramas is that there's too much clothes to rip off the women to get to the good bits underneeth.

Keira reminds me of this junky-girl I know. All drugs, no ass. A blackened inside. Honestly, can you imagine Keira's insides as clean? Fuck no. Just like the junk-bitch I know.

Her frame doesn't support it. It's held up by the helium whistling about what's under the hat.
She is in dire need of a cheeseburger.

By golly and gee whiz is she wear fur? Oh my.. That's horrible! I am so glad the producer and director have given her millions to suffer so, playing this part.

Gorgeous girl...my favorite actress...flawless face....but day-um, I'm not in love with this picture.

I bet the costume weighs more than SHE does. Skinny starving bitch.

Hmmm, she's looking... interesting in this pic. Definately not the most flattering ensemble. She reminds me of the Joker.

I really hate her.

Chicks that act all saucy but have nothing to back it up are so annoying. Pretentiously delusional waste of space...as if anyone is paying attention.

That hat is so ugly! The guy on the left looks like he's bored out of his mind!
I don't think she starves, I think she's naturally skinny. I'm about as thin as she is and I eat 3 meals a day plus 3 or 4 snacks in between meals.

she needs to do more movies, to bad there isnt too many good roles for her.

She's beautiful, but her looks are too modern. She looks out of place in a costume drama.

Um, snowultra, you've got to be kidding me. This chick is an a-lister. Now, somebody like Nia long, kerry washington and zoe saldana are hurting waaayyyy more than knightley will ever be for roles. It's not that i can't stand her or anything like that, but I do think she's quite overrated. I'm sick of hearing about her.
