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.

  2. tinyTy

    In other news, my butt isn’t big, I just have big ass bones.

  3. kittiesarecute

    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.

  4. Binky

    My sources tell me someone pirates her food.

  5. Mooserepellant

    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.

  6. IFuckingHateYou

    Anorexic or not, I’d fuck her tits off.
    Ooopps, looks like somebody already beat me to it.

  7. Italian Stallion

    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…………

  8. RichPort

    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…

  9. jFp

    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.

  10. Johnny Be Good

    I usually enjoy listening to a woman with an accent, but I can’t stand the way this fat bitch sounds.

  11. 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.

  12. notmeganharris

    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.

  13. sabahat

    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

  14. RichPort

    One the up side, she seems to have about the same figure as Johnny Depp…

  15. Rossarooni

    She should take ‘Lil Kim’s old room at the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center for a few months.

  16. SpareParts

    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.

  17. SpareParts

    wow, I put way too much thought into spelling Nicole Richie’s name……

  18. 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.

  20. Octocok

    She totally stole the Dead Man’s Chest.

    ZING!

    Thank you, I’m here everynight this week.

  21. rata de chapinero

    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…..’

  22. Dr.Rokter

    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.

  23. prideofchucky

    A low body weight makes the liquer quicker ;)

  24. prideofchucky

    I actually prefer skinny girls.

    Do you know how long it takes Rohypnol to go into effect on a normal girl? 4-EVER!

  25. polypam

    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.

  26. qico

    her boobs are on het knees.. WEAR A BRAH!!

    to ALL women: WEAR BRAS!! they ALWAYS SAGG!!

  27. krisdylee

    #20, I think I just came after reading your post.

    Well done, my sweet.

  28. PapaHotNuts

    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.

  29. Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest

    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.

  30. SpareParts

    What boobs????

  31. She isn’t anorexic. She just never eats. Those are, like, two totally different things.

  32. Italian Stallion

    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……….

  33. Nikk The Templar

    She looks like a holocaust victim.

  34. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh

    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.

  35. jane's eyre

    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.

  36. tinyTy

    Check out the link in #35 and tell me that’s not anorexic. The pics really show her bones. Yikes!

  37. One way of looking at it is she’d be a cheap date…

  38. tinyTy

    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.

  39. jane's eyre

    @38 BLEH!

  40. jrzmommy

    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.”

  41. (link) this will make you sick.

  42. DonLes91

    #40 Someone did all that for her.

  43. tits_on_snack

    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’.

  44. Solaera

    Spot on #20! She does have ‘The Dead Man’s Chest’ and to me this the shot that says it all…

    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.

  45. jrzmommy

    42–no shit, Mr. Pragmatic.

  46. jrzmommy

    43–It’s called Auschwitz Chic!

  47. jane's eyre

    @44
    yeah, that “sultry” look on her face is ALL “Ever screw a corpse?”.

  48. jrzmommy

    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!

  49. jrzmommy

    “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.”

  50. jojo1284

    I don’t know, I think she’s kind of fat…I mean look at her chunky shoulder bones. Jeez that’s just gross.
