Keira Knightley takes libel action over newspaper.


Keira KnightleyKeira Knightley has taken libel action over the Daily Mail newspaper. The newspaper had claimed that Keira Knightley had dishonestly sought to mislead the public about whether she has an eating disorder.


Solicitor Simon Smith said..

"the article carried a photograph of Ms Knightley, taken without her consent, whilst wearing a bikini and relaxing on a beach on holiday".




He then continued to say..

"The article made reference to what it perceived to be Ms Knightley's very slim appearance. Then the article reported the recent, tragic death of a teenage girl who suffered from anorexia and contained an interview with the girl's mother."




To be honest, Keira Knightly does look a little thin, whither she has anorexia or not.


The case against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, is expected to go to jury trial at London's High Court either late this year or early next year if it does not settle earlier.


I bet they will pay an out of court settlement..they always do.

Every day Katharine McPhee says that some days she was being sick up to seven times a day and knew she had to get treatment or it could ruin her life and her ability to sing forever.

When I made it onto American Idol, I knew that food - my eating disorder - was the one thing really holding me back,"

she says.

"I was bingeing my whole life away for days at a time ... So when I got on the show, I said, 'You know what? I can do well in this competition. Let me give myself a chance and just get ahold of this thing....I knew I had put off going to a treatment center long enough - I'd been struggling with bulimia since I was 17."
