Knightley, Farrell take "London Boulevard"

Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell have joined the cast of the drama "London Boulevard," the directorial debut of William Monahan, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "The Departed."

The duo join David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Ben Chaplin and Ray Winstone in the film, which Monahan adapted from author Ken Bruen's novel.

The movie, which begins filming in the British capital this week, centers on a London criminal who is newly released from prison and becomes involved with a reclusive young actress.

Keira Knightley turned on by tears

Keira Knightley likes men who cry.

The 'Edge of Love' actress - who is dating her 'Pride and Prejudice co-star Rupert Friend - admits she is attracted to guys who can show their emotions.

She said: "On screen these days, you rarely see a big, strong man. You see slender, androgynous-looking boys. I've worked with very few people whom I feel small against. The most manly thing ever is a guy who can cry, who's in touch with himself."

Keira, 24, also insists she would never have an affair with any of her

co-stars because they don't view her as a potential lover.

The actress - who has starred opposite a host of handsome actors including Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and James McAvoy - explained: "I could never have an affair with any of my leading men, though. They always turn into brothers. I'm a classic turn-them-into-brothers kind of girl."

Keira Knightley's 'nerdy' friend Sienna

Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller have set up a "nerdy" book club.

The two actresses - who became friends when they starred in Dylan Thomas biopic 'The Edge of Love' - prefer to stay in and enjoy quiet hobbies rather than hit the showbiz party scene.

Sienna revealed: "We swap books. I went to Keira's house for dinner and we talked about books and swapped some. We play cards and do newspaper crosswords together.

"She's learning the flute at the moment and I'm learning the piano. I mean we are really quite nerdy."

Despite happily confessing to their love of unglamorous pastimes, Sienna is worried about how Keira will react to her letting their secret slip.

She said: "Oh god, she's going to kill me now. She's not a nerd. I can be. No one will believe it anyway."

As well as sharing a mutual love of sedate activities, 24-year-old Keira and Sienna, 27, also live their lives by a common rule - ignore what your critics are saying.

Sienna explained: "We keep ourselves afloat if things happen in the media that are hard to deal with, or the awful temptation to Google yourself comes up, and just being mortified about what people write about you. She'll phone me up and say, 'I'm thinking about doing it,' and I'm like, 'I am too... don't do it, don't do it!' And we'll kind of talk each other out of it. It's hard sometimes to not want to know what people are saying behind your back and to ignore certain things that are being written."

So what's in the cup, Keira? A full cream latte with an extra shot and two sugars? … Somehow we doubt it. Anyway this is a glimpse of life on location in New York City for her new movie "Last Night". Don't gulp!

Knightley, Bloom set for on-screen reunion

Keira Knightley is set for an on-screen reunion with Orlando Bloom.

Keira Knightley is set for an on-screen reunion with Orlando Bloom. The pair - who starred together in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy alongside Johnny Depp - are to appear in "The Fever Returns," a new film based on cult disco movie "Saturday Night Fever."

The original film, which was released in 1977 and starred John Travolta, was set in Brooklyn but movie bosses are reportedly planning to base "The Fever Returns" in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England. It is not yet clear if the movie will be a sequel or remake of "Saturday Night Fever."

Earlier this week, Keira admitted she is unsure of the type of movie roles she wants to take on next.

She said: "I haven't quite found what I'm looking for yet. What I'm not capable of doing is saying, 'For my career, I should be doing this right now.' I can't do that because I can't try and be interested in something that I'm not. "It has to be about something that I do actually want to talk about. It can be really embarrassing and depressing and very cynical if you sit there and go, 'Well, I got a really big pay cheque.' "

Keira Knightley: I'll never be a pirate again

British actress Keira Knightley has no intention of starring in a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Keira Knightley says her pirate days are over for good.

The 23-year-old actress - who has played Elizabeth Swann in three films in the Disney franchise - admits even if producers ask her to reprise her role alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for a fourth film, she would turn them down.

When asked if she would ever consider doing another 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, Keira told US TV show Access Hollywood: "I think it was wonderful and an amazing opportunity and those films were just extraordinary and I was extremely lucky to be a part of them.

"But no. I think my pirating days may be over."

Keira starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 2006 and 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

The brunette beauty can currently be seen starring alongside Ralph Fiennes in new period drama The Duchess, in which she plays Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire.

Keira recently revealed she was "honoured" to star in the movie.

She said: "It was so incredible to actually be given this role. It was so incredible. There are relatively few leading roles for women, so to actually have one land on your doorstep was fantastic.

"The fact that people are now liking it is so exciting, so I don't think you can ask for anything more than that."

Keira Knightley bares all for Chanel

As she would be the first to admit, Keira Knightley is not exactly famous for her hour-glass figure.

But her latest role - which sees her posing virtually naked to advertise a perfume - makes her look subtly different.

Despite the presence of a carefully-placed bowler hat, the 22-year-old actress appears to be just that tiny bit curvier.

It's certainly a different image from that presented in such hit films as Pride And Prejudice and the Pirates Of The Caribbean series.

Ever since she appeared in a sports bra as a 17-year-old in Bend It Like Beckham, the waiflike actress has done nothing to disguise her lack of cleavage.

She once spoke her dislike of her chest, saying: "I don't have any t***, so I can't show cleavage."
That's not always something the Hollywood publicity machine has been happy about.

While the British posters for her 2004 film King Arthur displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones were a different story.

Keira Knightley's Paris move

Keira Knightley's Paris move

Keira Knightley has moved to France to be closer to her boyfriend. The 'Atonement' actress has joined actor Rupert Friend in Paris - where he is currently filming new movie 'Cheri' alongside Michelle Pfeiffer - so they can spend more time together.

A source said: "Keira was missing Rupert. She decided to give herself a break because last year she was so busy. Rupert, however, has been working on movies back-to-back.

Some people on set have been joking that Keira wants to keep an eye on him because he has some love scenes with Michelle but Rupert and Keira are very happy." Friends say the couple - who have been dating since 2004 - experienced a rocky patch in their romance earlier this year over Rupert's hectic schedule but they are now happier than ever.

The source added: "They seem to be getting on a lot better. Keira is cooking for him and looking after him."
