celebrity buzz

Keira Knightley deliberately ignores her mobile when it rings, much to the displeasure of her mother.

Keira said: "My mobile phone doesn't really get answered a lot. I don't like talking on the phone, which is a nightmare because my mother does."

Keira, who is currently filming 'The Edge of Love' in Wales with fellow British actress Sienna Miller, once even threw her BlackBerry handset into the sea so nobody could contact her.

She said: "I hurled it in the sea when I was working in the Bahamas doing 'Pirates of the Caribbean', so it's in the ocean there somewhere.

"I didn't mean to. I did actually go back and try and find it, but I was in a fit. I was like, 'I don't want to be contacted. Leave me alone.' "

Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller are the bestest of buddies and have gotten even closer while woriking on The Edge Of Love together.

The beauties love to spend time together, but instead of club-hopping, their favorite thing to do is.to play games, especially backgammon!

According to New Weekly magazine: “Sienna is big on board games and she has got Keira hooked too. They think it’s hilarious because people assume they would be out on the town every night but instead they are cozied up like a couple of old men, getting all competitive over the backgammon board. Sienna says she prefers it to a big celebrity party any day.”

Keira Knightley will appear partially nude for a racy scene in new movie 'Atonement'.

The 'Pride and Prejudice' star will disrobe before plunging into a deep fountain and emerging soaking wet in a clingy slip.

The film's director Joe Wright is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "I wanted to cast Keira as a woman, a sexual character. She's only ever played girls before.

"There is a key scene with James McAvoy where she dives into a deep fountain to retrieve a broken vase. Keira emerges from the water and stands on the fountain's edge. It was her idea to stand there for quite so long - but I quite liked it."

Wright also claims the scene had to be edited to protect the 22-year-old actress' modesty.

He said: "There was another shot of her from behind but we left it out as it seemed a bit too rude."

Johnny Depp says kissing Keira Knightley was "awkward" - because she is so much younger than him.

The pair shared a smooch in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', but Johnny, 43, found it difficult to pucker up to Keira, 22, because of the big age gap between the two stars.

He said in an interview with New magazine: "The smooches are always so awkward, especially because Keira and I have never been in that kind of situation together. She's, like, three and I'm a thousand!

"We've known each other for a few years and suddenly it was, 'Are you ready for this?' And you just do it. It becomes more like a stunt in a way. She was a great sport about it."

Keira Knightley, who has battled rumors of an eating disorder, says she wishes she could put on weight in the right places.

For starters, the Oscar-nominated actress, who stars in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End, tells Britain's morning show GMTV, in an interview to air Monday: "I would love to have tits!"

Her ideal? "I would love to have Monica Bellucci's figure," Knightley, 22, says of the Italian model and Matrix movies actress. I'm never going to get it. I'm naturally who I am."

Also in the interview she firmly dismisses the idea of ever getting cosmetic surgery to enhance her figure. "'It's far too frightening. I couldn't."

That means that Knightley has no plans to alter her healthy diet and exercise regime in the hopes of packing on the pounds.

"Yes, I'd say that I do like to keep fit, only because I like to be able to run around and do things," she says. "I think that it would be great in the media if we saw a wider range of women of all ages, of all shapes and sizes."

The Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty admits her dedication to acting from an early age meant she had to sacrifice other childhood pursuits - namely, her beloved ballet.

She says, "I adore the ballet, especially Swan Lake. I try to see as many ballets as I can but it's not something I've thought of doing myself."

"You have to start at it very young so I missed out and acting was always my thing."

The stunning actress, who is currently shooting sex scenes with Sienna Miller for new movie 'The Best Time of Our Lives', bares her body so much she is worried there will be a backlash from fans.

Keira Knightley told Total Film magazine: "There are plenty of sex scenes in the book, so the adaptation is true to its source. I think soon, people are going to insist I keep my clothes on!

"I wouldn't do anything I didn't feel completely comfortable with. I suppose I'm very European in my attitude to my body.

"I'm an actress. I have certain tools. One of them is my body. I don't mind stripping off occasionally."
