No Pride, just prejudice

Move over Anna Friel; there's a new actress in town treading the boards and pouting so excessively on the way out that it looks as though she has a moustache. Yes, Keira Knightley has put her Hollywood career on hold to appear on stage despite having "all the charisma of a serviceable goldfish". But judging from the photos, if she can do anything at all, it's got to be a "goldfish"...

Keira was leaving the Comedy Theatre after a performance in 'The Misanthrope' with boyfriend Rupert Friend, also performing on stage in 'The Little Dog Laughed'.

And on her role in the West-End production, Keira had said:

"I'm not coming into it with any great expectations of coming away with great reviews."

Which is good, because so far she's been described as "little better than adequate", "dull" and "fragile, wispy, so thin you could fit her in an umbrella stand" and "does not come up to scratch".

Anyway, we'd be more convinced by Kelly Brook as Miss September in 'Calendar Girls and Pamela Anderson as a Genie in Aladdin.

Then again, she did star in this...

  • Kiera knightly does she take it knightly lol

  • OY. Don't bring Lemmy into this. I fucking love that bloke...

    Here's how it goes. Normal actor - You train at drama school, spend three years with a bunch of neurotic fuckwits to learn your 'art', get a bit of T.I.E, have kids booing and telling you you're shit even though you're actually quite talented, consider it a massive bonus if you're lucky enough to get a scene and a half in Holby City, keep living in a rat infested flat-share long after you're supposed to be old enough to have a house, kids and a life; and one day, maybe one day, get some role that doesn't involve selling your soul to satan for fifty pence.

    Kiera Knightly. Born tall and rangy. Has a mam who's a writer and knows the business, gets the LEAD in her first fucking movie aged -what - twelve?, gets some collagen in her non-existent top lip and HEY PRESTO. Shitty years bypassed. 'Hollywood Siren' (my arse). Obviously an acting genius of unparalleled magnitude. Or maybe not. Which is why, ladies and gentlemen, actors, on the whole, are bitter moaning bastards.
