or why Rexy Aint Sexy …

Keira Knightley is suing the Daily Mail for running a story implying she’s in denial about her anorexia … and also for misrepresenting her clearly striped bikini as polka dot with their failed attempt at a clever Headlline.

It’s itsy bitsy teeny weeny Keira Knightley.
She wasn’t exactly curvy to start with, but Keira Knightley seems to be shrinking daily. On a Pacific island holiday with lover Rupert Friend, the 21-year-old actress cut a waif-like figure on the beach.
Miss Knightley was accused of being in denial about her condition by the mother of 19-year old Sophie Mazurek, who died from anorexia last month weighing four stone. …

The pictures don’t make much of a supporting argument, as both she and boyfriend, Rupert Friend (I guess she can probably call him her boyrupert at this point … boyfriend is a little formal … I’m sure they are on a first name basis what with all this beach romping ) appear firmly ensconced in the pale, slim, but muscled and fit school of youthful looks. I mean they are both sporting abdomens I’d love to serve a six course meal on.

However, it’s always up for debate these days … it’s a thin line indeed.

The rexy or not rexy wars are pretty much a staple for the tabloids these days (often with good cause) – they certainly add a dash of instant morality to beach paparazzi shots – all the skin you like and its for the social good. The Daily mail laid it on extra thick with the grieving mother – how can you not feel bad … but the connection to “Miss Knightley” was a bit … I need another word than thin here … tenuous …. weak … padding for a three line article to go along with the bikini shot.
