Keira Knightley admitted yesterday she comes from a family of anorexics, although denied suffering from the eating disorder herself after being questioned at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. She says:
“I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t. (The press) said to me yesterday ‘How does it feel to be called anorexic?’ and I had no idea that I was. I’m not saying there aren’t people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I’m quite sure I don’t have it.”
Keira Knightley saying she’s not anorexic is like Rosie O’Donnell saying she’s big boned. Or Paris Hilton saying she’s talented. Or Gary Coleman saying he’s happy. True? Possibly. Not true? Totally 100% definitely.

Well girlfriend is freaken skinny. But I believe she isn’t anorexic. I’m skinny, and people say that to me, but dammit, I’m just skinny naturally.
tinyTy | July 5, 2006 at 10:32 am
In other news, my butt isn’t big, I just have big ass bones.
kittiesarecute | July 5, 2006 at 10:33 am
Oh and just because someone is skinny people always assume they’re anorexic too. Some people just have fast metabolisms and can stay skinny while STILL eating.
Binky | July 5, 2006 at 10:33 am
My sources tell me someone pirates her food.
Mooserepellant | July 5, 2006 at 10:34 am
I don’t know how these celebrities can even deny eating disorders when they look like that. If she were just skinny and not anorexic, her bones wouldn’t be jutting out. Being thin means you still have some meat and actually look like you, you know, contain a little muscle mass. Eating disorders make you look like something from Tales from the Crypt.
IFuckingHateYou | July 5, 2006 at 10:39 am
Anorexic or not, I’d fuck her tits off.
Ooopps, looks like somebody already beat me to it.
Italian Stallion | July 5, 2006 at 10:40 am
Her and Nicole Ritchie have been on the same diet for two months now. It’s a simple diet and involves a Snickers Bar, a finger, and a toilet…………
RichPort | July 5, 2006 at 10:41 am
She’s thin, but still looks reasonably healthy. Wouldn’t mind giving her the ol’ pirate eye ARRRRGGGGHH!!!! Unlike Nicole Richie… now THAT’S one fat bitch…
jFp | July 5, 2006 at 10:44 am
I hate this bitch. She ruined some movies I would have otherwise enjoyed had she not been in them. She should admit she has aids and hurry up and die.
She also needs to stop injecting that toxin shit in her lips.
Damn…why did they have to cast her in POTC….shit.
Johnny Be Good | July 5, 2006 at 10:45 am
I usually enjoy listening to a woman with an accent, but I can’t stand the way this fat bitch sounds.
HolisticWisdomcom | July 5, 2006 at 10:46 am
It seems that no matter what a celebrity looks like they can be said to be too thin or too fat. I would imagine it very difficult to constantly be in the lime light and have people pushing you in one direction or another. True, she looks very thin, but that does not indicate an eating disorder. Anorexia is not just a matter of not eating it is a psychological condition. Throwing around a diagnoses like that based on someone being thin is like throwing around a diagnoses of ADHD when a kid shows some enthusiasm. We are too eager to slap labels on people, including ourselves.
notmeganharris | July 5, 2006 at 10:46 am
Come on, people! She’s HUGE. I mean, look at how big her hips are! Pardon, I need to go purge now because I NEVER want to be a big, big whale like she is.
sabahat | July 5, 2006 at 10:48 am
Just cause someone is skinny does not mean they are automatically anorexic or bulimic. some people just have different body structures and metabolisms. its wrong to just randomly place a tag on every celebrity.
by the way i REALLY like kiera knightley. she’s cute, talented and looks great! and i am quite happy she’s in POTC
RichPort | July 5, 2006 at 10:48 am
One the up side, she seems to have about the same figure as Johnny Depp…
Rossarooni | July 5, 2006 at 10:50 am
She should take ‘Lil Kim’s old room at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center for a few months.
SpareParts | July 5, 2006 at 10:56 am
What’s too skinny??? When your body is so small that it makes your head look cartoonishly large and you may tip over from being top-heavy at any moment. I don’t think she’s quite there yet…..Nichole Ritchie on the other hand, has met that hollywood requirement.
SpareParts | July 5, 2006 at 10:57 am
wow, I put way too much thought into spelling Nicole Richie’s name……
sharkbite | July 5, 2006 at 11:03 am
She is looking a little stick-figure-like, but hey…

Well since anorexia runs in the family, I wouldn’t be surprised if she is too, whether she thinks so or not. If she’s grown up around anorexic people, it’s likely that she has a skewed view of what a healthy body looks like, what normal eating habits are, and such. To her, eating a piece of celery for the entire day might constitute as perfectly normal.
Octocok | July 5, 2006 at 11:05 am
She totally stole the Dead Man’s Chest.
ZING!
Thank you, I’m here everynight this week.
rata de chapinero | July 5, 2006 at 11:14 am
It’s sick to think that her great-grandmother suffered from anorexia.
I don’t know but at that time there wasn’t all the pressure that there is now.
And if you ask me if Keira is anorexic I’ll just say::’It’s in the genes…..’
Dr.Rokter | July 5, 2006 at 11:18 am
Anorexia isn’t a psychological disorder. It just means you’re weak-willed. My father told me that, and he used to tie me down and practice his golf swing on my head when I was little. Which is funny, because I don’t ever remember him playing golf. It’s also funny because until I was 16, I thought “time to play golf” was another term for when I accidentally wet myself while trying to force my way out of his gun locker.
prideofchucky | July 5, 2006 at 11:22 am
A low body weight makes the liquer quicker ;)
prideofchucky | July 5, 2006 at 11:25 am
I actually prefer skinny girls.
Do you know how long it takes Rohypnol to go into effect on a normal girl? 4-EVER!
polypam | July 5, 2006 at 11:48 am
I’m not always a fan of her fashion choices but I really do think she’s pretty cool. And just because someone is skinny doesn’t mean they have an eating disorder…she was very slim in “Bend it Like Beckham” ages ago. Plus, if you have seen her in person, she DOES have a bit of a caboose. It’s not huge, but it’s also no Tara Reid-inverted-butt-thing. God forbid.
qico | July 5, 2006 at 11:53 am
her boobs are on het knees.. WEAR A BRAH!!
to ALL women: WEAR BRAS!! they ALWAYS SAGG!!
krisdylee | July 5, 2006 at 11:55 am
#20, I think I just came after reading your post.
Well done, my sweet.
PapaHotNuts | July 5, 2006 at 11:56 am
Rather than criticize her because she is too thin, I’m just really happy she has overcome the battle with obesity, because fat girls are losers. We all know that.
Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest | July 5, 2006 at 12:01 pm
I have never been inclined to say that a woman needs a tit job but I have to say it here. If this girl had tits she would be in the top 10 easy.
SpareParts | July 5, 2006 at 12:01 pm
What boobs????
Glossed Over | July 5, 2006 at 12:08 pm
She isn’t anorexic. She just never eats. Those are, like, two totally different things.
http://glossedover.com
Italian Stallion | July 5, 2006 at 12:11 pm
She would be great for Slim Jim commercials, and then Randy “The Macho Man” Savage could come out and snap her in two, now thats some good Television……….
Nikk The Templar | July 5, 2006 at 12:12 pm
She looks like a holocaust victim.
oshkoshb-goshdammgosh | July 5, 2006 at 12:18 pm
My great-grandmother was anorexic too, but back then they called it “dysentery”. They talked all kinds of crazy jive back in the olden days.
jane's eyre | July 5, 2006 at 12:21 pm
She almost does a disappearing trick in this picture:

Yes, she was slim in “Bend it Like Beckham” (and I SWEAR I didn’t watch that movie of my own volition), but she sure as hell didn’t look like she just emerged from Auschwitz. She wouldn’t be able to kick a ball now, from the looks of her. Her leg might fall off, then she’d fall over and break a hip.
tinyTy | July 5, 2006 at 12:30 pm
Check out the link in #35 and tell me that’s not anorexic. The pics really show her bones. Yikes!
UNWASHEDMASSES | July 5, 2006 at 12:33 pm
One way of looking at it is she’d be a cheap date…
tinyTy | July 5, 2006 at 12:39 pm
But what if she’s puking up the dinner and drinks and then ordering more. She could be a very expensive date. If she gives a blow job at the end of the night you could end up burning from stomach acid.
jane's eyre | July 5, 2006 at 12:43 pm
@38 BLEH!
jrzmommy | July 5, 2006 at 12:50 pm
I just can’t believe that she did her hair and her make up like that, got into that dress and before leaving the house looked in the mirror and said, “Perfect.”
francesfarmer | July 5, 2006 at 12:58 pm
(link) this will make you sick.
DonLes91 | July 5, 2006 at 1:02 pm
#40 Someone did all that for her.
tits_on_snack | July 5, 2006 at 1:07 pm
I was about to be like “yeah she’s thin but you know” until I saw the pics in #35′s post.
Concentration Camp is so ‘in’.
Solaera | July 5, 2006 at 1:16 pm
Spot on #20! She does have ‘The Dead Man’s Chest’ and to me this the shot that says it all…
http://celebritysmackblog.com/images/27370-26000/csmack_kk22.jpg
My mother and sister are naturally very, very thin but they do not look like that. That is starvation. If she wasn’t striving for that look she wouldn’t be so effing proud of it. Only an anorexic would think that looking like greased corpse is sexy.
jrzmommy | July 5, 2006 at 1:16 pm
42–no shit, Mr. Pragmatic.
jrzmommy | July 5, 2006 at 1:17 pm
43–It’s called Auschwitz Chic!
jane's eyre | July 5, 2006 at 1:24 pm
@44
yeah, that “sultry” look on her face is ALL “Ever screw a corpse?”.
jrzmommy | July 5, 2006 at 1:30 pm
Wow. The Fugyourself pictures are….they’re…..mindboggling. Someone must have done a real doozy to this chick to make herself wanna do this to herself. Not anorexic my ass. Well, Nicole, Keira, Posh, Mary-Kate…..let the Starve Off begin!
jrzmommy | July 5, 2006 at 1:35 pm
“I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t…. I mean, I’m very serious about trying to achieve my goal, which is to reach my birth weight by the time I’m 30.”
jojo1284 | July 5, 2006 at 2:12 pm
I don’t know, I think she’s kind of fat…I mean look at her chunky shoulder bones. Jeez that’s just gross.
