[Puppy]

Actress Keira Knightley has begun legal action against the Daily Mail over suggestions she has lied about having an eating disorder:

Shall be interesting to see how it goes!!

 

[Elise]

I didn't realise this - I agree will definitely be interesting to see how it goes. I always thought she was just one of those naturally slim people.

 

[Dotilas]

Always believed she was a naturally thin person and she has put up enough with all this anorexia hype. I believe that she could be a bit curvier though - yet all these people moaning about her being horrendously under weight are mainly overweight.

Did anyone read Clarkson's piece on her? (in the Sun) It's brill

 

[weevil]

Such a shame
*sniggers*
couldn't happen to a nicer paper

 

[Puppy]

*snigger snigger* I thought it may amuse you

I read the piece on her and saw the pics. I would not say she was anorexic. They quoted a mother of a daughter who died of anorexia and she said if you can see their ribs they are anorexic. Well I can't see Kiera's ribs! So not sure how that comment is relevant.

 

[mat]

its rediculous, People say I am too thin, you can see my ribs, I try desperately hard to put on weight and just cant. I am definitely NOT anorexic, I feel very sorry for Kiera!

Hope she wins her case!

 

[vivhewe]

See with KK me and my friends can't see past her chin, and her pout. We can't work out what it is - she sticks her chin out we think. So all I can say is chinny chin chin

*viv hides*

In a statement via her lawyers, Ms Knightley said she would also challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example.

Hmm, so it's ALL KK's fault?Interisting take on it!
Maybe she does ,maybe she doesnt.Don't know her so couldnt say, but I have known girls in the past who looked like her an ate everything in sight,never put on weight and did not havean eating disorder.
Some people are just lucky

 

[vivhewe]

Agree some people are naturally thin, but IMHO she does look a mess natural or not.

 

[PapaFrita]

I don't think she's anorexic at all. She hasn't got that pinched, drawn look they get.

 

[xspiralx]

I reaaaaaaally don't like that dress.

I don't think shes anorexic though, just does a LOT of exercise and doesn't eat masses I imagine.

 

[haybales]

haha! agree with you viv! dont think that dress does anything for her! im glad shes going for it, it must feel terrible being made to feel responsible for this illness in young girls. you never know, the daily mail might go bankrupt! haha.

and vaguely related - i was having a big old rant the other day about the double standards people have with weight, people will openly point out to me how skinny i am and i hate it, yet i cant imagine they'd go up to a fat person and rave about how huge they are! sorry but that reeeeally bugs me.

 

[dressagespain]

Who can I sue then? People say I'm too thin, not cos of eating disorder, but just cos I am naturally skinny.

I think she should go for it, why should she be automatically branded as anorexic just cos she is skinny?

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Completely agree!! I keep getting told im so thin blah blah blah i should eat more - anyone who knows me knows i eat anything and everything!
People keep going on about how skinny people are bad role models but i've seen some distressing pictures of overweight celebrities too - i think if you're healthy then thats all that matters whatever your weight!

 

[Sooty]

I'm quite surprised - I thought it was compulsory to have an eating disorder to be a successful actress these days! Well, whether she has one or not, she does look painfully thin, and hasn't always looked that way. Her head looks too big for her body and her face is hollow.

 

[GinaB]

I get exactly the same. I have had strangers accusing me of putting my family through hell by being anorexic..like wtf?! Who do you think you are?!

The last pics of Kiera I saw she is slim yes but very toned etc...she obviously does look after herslf exercise ways

Oh God no, it's hideous.
Whilst Keira and Posh are both skinny, I think Keira looks naturally slim whereas Posh HAS got a pinched, slightly unhealthy look about her... IMO of course. Don't you think?

 

[the watcher]

I think they both look like they could do with a good breakfast, they are both slimmer than they have been in the past

 

[vivhewe]

When I was at school in about years 10/11 people accused me of having a fat backside and I believed them (I was a size 8/10 - they were at least a size 16) and tried losing weight. Luckily I started riding again and realised that you can't ride a 16.3hh when you are a like a stick and have no muscles! I eat what the hell I want, my exercise regime consists of doing the neddies and running around at the farm when I need to, otherwise I don't do the gym etc.

I'm a size 8 again. As a 'fat' person I am definitely happier, and I don't take any notice of what people think of me now.

I really feel for people who feel the need to be that thin. If Keira is naturally that thin, I feel for her too - it must be embarassing wearing the same bra as a 10 year old and I think she is the only person I can think of with a smaller chest than me

Still, you have to give it to the girl, at least she hasn't had a boob job

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Agree posh doesnt look healthy but the thing i cant stand is like i said above, everyone says ooooh unhealthy role models blah blah when actually there are more obsese children in the UK now than ever!
Obviously neither extreme is good but you wouldn't say to someone 'omg you're so fat eat less' or 'fat people are bad role models' because you wouldnt want to insult anyone, yet you would happily say 'omg you're so thin eat more' and 'skinny people are bad role models'
Apologies it just gets my goat

 

[dressagespain]

haha!! Thats what people say to me!!

The more I eat, The skinnier I get - well thats how it feels!!

 

[dressagespain]

Kayleigh, I completely agree with that!! Why should thin people be told to eat more when it so bad to tell a fat person to eat less. The 2 are as bad as each other!!

 

[the watcher]

Actually - as somebody who is only just above average size - people can be equally cutting if you are a bit overweight.

KK looks terrible in that dress. Whether she's anorexic or not, she really does look awful.

Posh, on the other hand is another matter. Look at pics of her when she got engaged, compared to now

Her head is too big for her body.

 

[dressagespain]

Thanks!!!!

They say one day it will catch up with me!!

 

[lucemoose]

i used to go to secondary school with her-shes naturally boy-shaped and athletic. can u see her dancers thighs in that pic?nope...
she looks just as lean in bend it like beckham, but of course her legs were on show..
a little off topic but just my two penneth worth !

Its amazing what make-up can hide!

I can't remember what mag now but she was in a gossip mag that I was reading in the hospital over Christmas and she admitted to suffering with anorexia so surely she needs to make her mind up whether she does or doesn't.
