Keira’s romance on the rocks? - Nov 27 2006
Are lovebirds Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend going through a rough patch?

The Daily Mirror reports the pair - who have been dating for 10 months and always seem to be deeply in love - have been having a few differences.

"Keira’s a really loving girlfriend but she’s so insanely busy with work it’s untrue," the source said.

"She’s done everything in her power to make Rupert feel important but he still complains that he doesn’t get enough attention, and it’s causing real friction.

"While Keira was filming the last Pirates Of The Caribbean movie she flew her mum out as they’re very close and she wanted to spend some time with her.

"Rupert often turned up as he was filming nearby but he complained that they didn’t get enough time alone."

The 21-year-old has also apparently turned down Rupert’s offer to move in with him, causing more tension.

The source added: "She loves him but they’ve had intense talks about where it’s going.

"She’s too young to settle down and she knows that work has to be her priority. It’s up to Rupert to decide whether he can deal with that - if not - their days are numbered."

Keira’s last days as pirate - Nov 10 2006
Keira Knightley will shoot her last scene as pirate wench Elizabeth Swann for the Pirates Of The Caribbean films today.

And the stunning actress has told movie bosses she doesn’t want to be part of any more swashbuckling sequels, according to the Daily Mail.

The cast of Pirates, which includes hunky Johnny Depp, have been filming the last instalment At World’s End on and off for the past year.

The previous two movies - Curse Of The Black Pearl and Dead Man’s Chest - were huge box office hits and made Keira an international star.

"I have been playing this girl since I was 17," Keira told the paper.

"I’m 21 now and I’m onto very different things, but it’s fun to try to invest Elizabeth with some rebellious spirit."

Keira’s next project is Joe Wright’s drama Atonement, in which she stars with James McAvoy and Brenda Blethyn.

She will star as Cecilia in the 1930s-based film - adapted from a Ian McEwan’s hit novel - which should hit our screens next year.

Keira greatest-ever starlet - poll - Sept 17, 2020
Keira Knightley has been rated the greatest-ever Hollywood starlet. The British beauty was chosen ahead of Scarlett Johansson and movie legend Judy Garland in the survey of film fans. Still only 21, the Pirates Of The Caribbean actress already has one Oscar nomination under her belt for her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

The survey of 1,600 film-goers by Yahoo! Entertainment revealed that starlets from the golden age of Hollywood can still outshine some of today’s talent. Garland, whose films include The Wizard Of Oz, Meet Me In St Louis and A Star Is Born, was second. And Shirley Temple, child star of the 1930s, was fifth.

Scarlett Johansson was voted into third place. The 21-year-old is currently sizzling on screen in Forties thriller The Black Dahlia. Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan also appeared on the list, along with Brooke Shields and Mia Farrow.
