Knightley Takes Tabloid to Court

Keira Knightley is suing the "Daily Mail" for inferring she's anorexic.

Actress Keira Knightley is looking for justice against English tabloid, the Daily Mail. The 21-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actress is suing the paper for an article in its January 11 issue regarding anorexia. The article was about the death of a teenage girl from anorexia. Near the article was a bikini-clad picture of Knightley, which could infer that the actress herself has an eating disorder. Her rep Simon Smith said in a statement, "Ms. Knightley has publicly denied suggestions that she might be anorexic or have a similar eating disorder, including in a prominent way at a well-publicized press conference...in London last summer." Smith added that the case "will show that she does not have anorexia; and further will challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example."

The case could head to court later this year or early next year.
