contact music reports: KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has sparked speculation she is backing away from boyfriend RUPERT FRIEND, after the disappointed actor complained how "she never comes home" to him anymore. Knightley told reporters at the London premiere of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST on Monday she "definitely" has no plans to marry her PRIDE + PREJUDICE co-star. And Friend seemed jealous of her apparent closeness to co-star ORLANDO BLOOM, with whom she shares a screen smooch. Knightley said, "I'm going to take time off because of myself, mainly, not because of him. Let's see how things go there." Friend complained, "It must have been a hard job kissing JOHNNY DEPP and ORLANDO BLOOM. I'm sure she hated every minute of it." He then added, "She hardly ever comes home to me."
i would be jealous of their closeness too - if he can see them why can't they see it for themselves??

The first installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean" made her a star. But that's not why British beauty Keira Knightley is back for more.
"I wasn't signed up to do the sequels. So, it was very much my choice," said the 21-year-old actress. "The opportunity to work with Johnny and Orlando again just seemed too good to miss."
And Knightley has had quite an active film career already: She starred in "Love Actually" and was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year for her leading role in "Pride & Prejudice."
Now in production, the third installment of the comic but ghoulish trilogy will hit theaters next summer.
Perhaps getting a little closer to the truth, Knightly said both of her co-stars, Johnny Depp, who plays the brooding and mysterious Jack Sparrow, and Orlando Bloom, who plays earnest hero Will Turner, are both "great, really good kissers."
Yet, she refused to rate one ahead of the other. "Are you kidding? I've got to do three months' more work with them," she told "Good Morning America."
Would she choose Jack Sparrow or Will Turner in real life? "Ooh difficult. I mean, you'd have to go for the Jack Sparrow type, wouldn't you?" she said.
And while her two male co-stars are certainly among Hollywood's hotties, Knightley seems to trump them when it comes to a winning grin.
"It's funny. Everybody's been saying that I've got great teeth and I think I'm the only English person that has ever got that compliment," Knightley said.
Less Makeup Than the Boys While Knightley upstages the black-toothed Depp and Bloom with the clean smile, she gripes about her character's on-screen appearance. "I'm the only one who doesn't have eye makeup on, which I was rather annoyed about. I'm the only girl, and I have less makeup than the boys," she said.
But with or without eye makeup or not, she is a continual target for compliments on both her acting and her style. The latter of which, she says, is definitely the least important.
"My job is the actress part," she said. "I hire a stylist to wear the clothes on the red carpet. So that is not my job, I just wear them. … I'm a complete slob most of the time, so it is quite nice to look a bit glamorous for an evening," she said.
"It was a brilliant moment [at the Oscar's] when my brother, who was my date for the evening, suddenly went 'Jack Nicholson is going to sit next to us.' And we went totally rigid and sort of couldn't look at him for a while. But he was wonderful," she said.
For Knightley, her life as a movie star seems to begin and end on the red carpet.
"I don't think I've got any showbizzy friends, which is a bit sad, I know. I'm quite embarrassed about it. But, no, I don't. My best friend is the one that I had since I was 11," she said.
She claims she is not nearly as feisty as her "Pirates" character, Elizabeth Swann.
"I think it's just impossible to be like Elizabeth Swann. She is sort of ridiculously fearless, and I can't imagine being like that," she said.
But with the name Knightley has created for herself at 21, she may just be more fearless than she had thought.

It's good that she doesn't read all the crap they say about her. I guess it would freak her out if she did. It would me if I was in the papers every single day!

According to Knightley, not much changed in her life after the Oscar nod.
"It really hasn't changed," she said last week in L.A. "It was all very exciting because we all knew—I knew—that I didn't have a hope of winning! So you just sort of went along and went, 'Ooh, this is weird, but quite nice.' ... I've just been working a lot.
"Yes, it's amazing; somebody hired me again!"
Knightley talked about eating pasta, the challenges of outdoing "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"—and kissing her co-stars.
You look amazing. What do you do to stay in shape? And especially for this film, it's so physical. I've got quite a few action scenes in this film, so there was a lot of training. And there was a fantastic trainer who made me do a lot of Pilates, which I'd never done before and which I really enjoyed. It helped, actually, with all of the sword fighting, because it's quite ballet-like. It's sort of like dancing.
So, are you watching what you're eating? No, I'm sorry. My Dad is unbelievably thin, and I think it's his fault. So, I'm on a pasta diet, which basically means you eat a lot of pasta, and it's lovely. Pasta and red wine.
Was putting together the second "Pirates" film easier or was there more pressure? It's weird, because ... a pirate film hadn't worked for 50 years, so when we made [the first film], we were all going, "This SO isn't going to work." And so, in a funny kind of way there was no pressure. With this one, people are so excited, so you don't want to let them down. ... It's wonderful to be a part of a film that there is so much excitement surrounding, because that doesn't really happen very much.
You have kissing scenes with both Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. America wants to know who is the better kisser? That's a difficult one. I'd probably say that whoever's got the less facial hair would be the most comfortable kisser. Actually, they've both got quite soft facial hair, so it's not a big problem.
And technique? Technique? They're both very good. Accomplished. I can't decide. I'd say that you'd have to have a little bit of both; and personally, I did! Somebody has got to do it.

Oh what a lovely setlist! I absolutely love every single song and artist on that list, specially Franz Ferdinand and the Killers. Ah... Britney Spears- Toxic, memories of all the girls at Senior Ball running to the dance floor at the sound of that song, ha ha.
She should host her own permanent DJ station, hee hee.

More Keira news... Keira Knightley Just Isn't Into Her BoyfriendUh oh. Looks like there's trouble in the water for Keira Knightley and her boyfriend Rupert Friend. And this time, it's jealousy that's the villain. But wouldn't yo be jealous if you're girlfriend was off working with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom? According to The Mirror, Keira's work, and that work does include kissing Johnny and Orlando, has been getting in the way of their relationship, but Keira doesn't seem to mind.When asked if she was going to take more time off to spend with Rupert, she replied: "I'm going to take time off because of myself mainly, not because of him. Let's see how things go there. I'm working on two new movies, that's what I'm concerned about now." (all we have to do is get Kate off the picture now) It continues. If you want to read it: www.egotastic.com/entertainment/celebrities/keira-knightley/keira-knightley-just-isnt-into-her-boyfriend-001425And there´s more... Costar Orlando Bloom was also at the Pirates premiere. Press reports say he couldn’t help himself, and peeked down the front of Knightley’s gown, which opened to her belly button. “I haven’t flashed anyone yet,” she joked*though of course we already knew that... * In case you want to read the whole: (it talks mainly about anorexia) everyonehasavice.com/?p=1307

I saw a picture of Rupert at the after party and I thought he was a girl! He was talking with Mischa Barton.

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Keira Knightley is donating the dress she wore at the London premiere of the new 'Pirates of the Caribbean' fiilm to charity.
The generous actress wore the revealing gold Gucci gown on the red carpet before taking her seat to watch 'Dead Man's Chest' last Monday (03.07.06).
Keira, who was criticised for looking too thin in the dress, is now giving the lavish garment away because she doesn't think she will wear it again.
She said: "I'd like to give it to charity for them to sell. It's not the kind of thing you can get away with wearing twice."
It is the second time the 21-year-old star has donated one of her glamorous garments to a good cause.
Earlier this year, Keira raised over £4,000 for Oxfam when she auctioned off the stunning Vera Wang dress she wore to the 2006 Oscars on eBay.
Keira said at the time: "It's brilliant that this dress has raised this much, I know it will go a long way to help the people facing the food crisis in East Africa.
"All of us can do something to support Oxfam's fantastic work and it will make a real difference."
