Everyone You Used to Love Comes Back for Pilot Season
3:31AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s that magical time when many actors clamour for parts that will probably never see the light of day. Scott Wolf, Alyssa Milano, that lady from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But first, movie casting: More »
Sarah Jessica Parker Passes the ‘Butter’
2:10AM STV | Sarah Jessica Parker’s long-refrigerated, “racially charged” drama Spinning Like Butter has finally found theatrical distribution after a nearly three-year wait, thus unleashing the imaginations of critics everywhere who will smirkingly suggest lower-calorie alternatives for their own sake. [THR] Lexus TV will soon debut online with an original series starring Lisa Kudrow as a “nutty shrink.” Matt LeBlanc will co-star as a luxury SUV bequeathed from a husband to his wife one snowy, magical Christmas morning. [THR] After the jump: Uni courts the ‘Works, Keira does Zelda, and the NFL sacks the Emmys. More »
Police Brutality Strikes Keira, Kate and Dakota at the Box Office
2:00AM STV | Welcome back to Defamer Attractions, your official tastemaking Bible for everything new and noteworthy at the movies.

As always, our opinions are our own — in times like these, who really wants to share? More »
Keira Knightley’s Foolproof Plan to Battle Anorexia Rumors: Pregnancy
2:55AM Defamer Hollywood | Mention Keira Knightley’s name to us, and two things come immediately to mind: Atonement, and a startlingly precipitous clavicle. For years, Knightley has been fending off rumors about her bony physique, though now, the squatting star believes she’s hit upon a plan that will silence her critics once and for all: More »
Keira Knightley and David Letterman Find In Each Other A Mixed Squatting Doubles Partner
5:40AM Seth | Keira Knightley dropped by the Late Show last night in the midst of the host’s near Network-worthy televised meltdown about our doomed planet. To her credit, she managed to evade all the dark prophesying, and even remained chipper when Letterman forced her to address the one topic that follows her more tenaciously than a swarthy French Riviera paparazzo on a Vespa: her body. Whether she’s being accused of being a fanorexic thinspiration, or suing over those accusations, or being entered by her own studio into a Wet Nightie Contest, or fighting off their one-sheet breast-enhancement attempts, it seems no body has endured more scrutiny than hers. Can you blame her for not wanting to squat on cue? [Late Show] More »
Keira Knightley Says ‘Don’t Airbrush My Norks! Er, I Mean, Stay In School!’
9:33AM Clem Bastow | After standing up for flat-chested rights (power, sister!) by commanding the makers of The Duchess not to airbrush her into busty-ness on the film’s marketing materials, Keira Knightley has now revealed she longs to feel “educated” and is reading everything in sight in an effort to catch up on lost time (she left school at 17 to star in Bend It Like Beckham and never looked back, as it were).
In an interview with Tatler magazine the 23-year-old said: ‘I am completely uneducated.
‘Not going to university did give me an incredible driving force because it leaves you with a slight chip on your shoulder.
‘It makes me feel I am going to read absolutely everything so I can prove I am not stupid.’
Surely someone can sort her out with one of those ‘honorary doctorates’ universities seem to like bestowing upon celebrities?
Ms Knightley, you best stop making me want to be your best friend – I am not in the business of acting like a 15 year old who “just knows” that if we met we’d get on like a house on fire; it’s quite unbecoming. More » 
Keira Knightley’s Breasts Officially Unmarketable
7:35AM STV | After an intense period of debate, stroppy siren Keira Knightley has reportedly rejected Paramount Vantage’s request to digitally enhance her breasts in publicity photos for its fall drama The Duchess. It’s a devastating blow to what remains of the studio’s thinning clout, what with pink slips subbing for napkins in the cafeteria, its Oscar legacy threatened by a genre-mediocrity torrent to come, and one of its biggest stars steadfastly refusing to be… well, one of its biggest stars. It’s not like there’s not precedent here, however. Follow the jump for more, including a glimpse at Knightley’s previous brush with the ‘brush. More »
Why Keira Knightley’s Newest Rival Will Never Be ‘The Next’ Pout-y Princess
9:50AM Molly Friedman | The Brits are always fond of reminding us of just how many stars they’ve discovered, sent our way, and watched dominate the last decade’s Best Actress Oscar pool. And Keira Knightley is certainly one of their most notable success stories. But as much as they love gushing over their own born-and-bred A-listers, whenever a newer, younger little Brit with potential comes along, they love yanking that shiny crown off the last pout-y superstar and placing it atop the unknown’s pretty-ish head. Which leads us to 16-year-old Georgia “The Next Kiera Knightley” Groome, the upcoming star of the irresistibly-titled Angus, Thongs, And Full-Frontal Snogging, hailed by The Daily Mail as Bridget Jones for teenagers. But after reading more about the film and its quirky dialogue (imagine a script co-written by Diablo Cody and Anthony Burgess), not to mention its leading lady’s disturbing ignorance on all things Johnny Depp-related, we came up with three reasons why Georgia will have a hard time filling Keira’s impossibly narrow shoes:
