Keira Knightley attended ‘The Duchess Premiere’
Although The Duchess premiere was attended by a host of British celebs, including Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Narnia actress Anna Popplewell, the true star of Wednesday night's London screening was the period drama's leading lady. Keira Knightley dazzled in a flirty Alexis Mabille number as she caught up with her co-star Ralph Fiennes at the star-studded event.
And the English Patient actor wasn't the only hunk Keira was mingling with at the do. The evening marked a rare couples' outing for the screen siren and her actor beau Rupert Friend, too. Fresh from a holiday in Indonesia, the pair - whose romance blossomed after they met on the set of Pride And Prejudice - showed they're as in-tune as ever by colour-coordinating their outfits.
In the flick Keira plays Georgiana Spencer, an aristocrat who becomes trapped in a loveless marriage with the Duke of Devonshire - played by Ralph - who is desperate for a son. And while the Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty says Georgiana - a distant relative of Princess Diana - was a "very exciting character to play", there were aspects of filming she wasn't quite so keen on.
"I had to be sewn in each time I put a costume on… That was what happened in those days," reveals the 23-year-old, who spent two hours dressing for her role every day. "While the end results would have been a fabulous look, getting there wasn't easy.
"The clothes, the wigs and the hats were so heavy that it became painful to stand around. At one point I had to wear a wig that was two feet high and the weight pushed my head down into my neck. The camera couldn't even see my eyes!"

Gwyneth Paltrow At The Equine Rescue Benefit
Gwyneth Paltrow sure has been looking sassy lately! She is rockin that new shorter/lighter hair do and it seems her dresses just keep getting shorter to show of those hot little legs of hers.
These are some pictures of her and Steven Klein at the Equine Rescue Benefit at the home of Steven Klein in Littlehampton, New York the other night.
She has signed on with one movie that is in pre-production right now titled King Lear with Keira Knightley, Naomi Watts, Anthony Hopkins.

Quote Of The Day
“It (dyslexia) makes me feel I am going to read absolutely everything so I can prove that I am not stupid.”
”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.”
