Keira - the face of Asprey’s jewellers - is in trouble - Mar 8, 2020
Keira Knightley - the face of Asprey’s jewellers - is in trouble for promoting a rival firm. The star, nominated for an Oscar for her role in ’Pride And Prejudice’, wore a Bulgari necklace to the star studded Hollywood event on Sunday (05.02.06), instead of one of their designs. see photos
An insider at the ceremony said: "They are absolutely b****y furious. "There have been reports of a looming financial crisis at Asprey, so it’s their second PR disaster this week." Although Asprey have refused to comment on the claims, it is not known how the blunder will affect her deal with the Royal jeweller.
Meanwhile, Keira was forced to change out of her stunning Vera Wang dress after the ceremony - because people kept standing on it. The stunning 20-year-old actress admitted she was ready to party after the event - despite not winning an award - but was sick of people clambering all over her gown. She revealed: "I was wearing a fabulous dress - it was beautiful but it had this long tail and people kept treading on it. "I heard it’s a real crush in the party so I thought I’d change into something that people wouldn’t stand on."

Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley have been spotted on a series of dates in Los Angeles - sparking rumours they are an item. According to the New York Post, the handsome actor split with long-term girlfriend Kirsten Dunst last year, while Keira has been single since splitting with model boyfriend Jamie Dornan.
The two young stars - both nominated for Oscars this year - were seen getting cosy together in the days running up to last night’s (05.03.06) Academy Awards ceremony. A source said: "They were at Soho House two nights in a row together and definitely looked like a couple." However, the 20-year-old has also been spotted kissing her ’Pride and Prejudice’ co-star, Rupert Friend, 21. The pair were snapped last week getting playful in the sea in the Bahamas.

Fashion superstar Tom Ford - who also appears on the cover photo, wearing a suit - stepped in when ’Wedding Crashers’ star Rachel McAdams backed out. He told ABC’s ’Good Morning America’ TV show: "She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to make anybody feel uncomfortable."

She starred in The Princess of Thieves in ’01, and then in Bend It Like Beckham in ’02, where she played the role of a football-obsessed teenager alongside the lead actress Parminder Nagra. Because she had barely touched a football until then, Keira trained intensely for three full months, practicing tricks and ball handling, Brazilian style. As Bend It Like Beckham gained in popularity, so did Keira, making a name for herself.
It was not long before Jerry Bruckheimer, the famous Hollywood producer of blockbusters like Pearl Harbor, chose her for a leading role in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (’03), starring alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. The Pirates of the Caribbean went on to become a huge international box-office hit, bringing Keira’s fame to an international level.
Her latest appearance is as Guinevere in the new Disney adaptation of King Arthur’s tales. Hollywood seems to have taken a liking to her. As have Glamour magazine’s ’fashion analysts,’ who listed her as the fifth best-dressed female celebrity world-wide (Kate Moss came in number one, but she’s got about a decade of experience under the belt, if nothing else).
