Screen captures of Keira's performance in "Pure" have been added to our gallery :

As you can see, the site is back! It took us a few days to secure our scripts and install the new version of Keira Knightley Source. We are celebrating our first year on the web in style this week! First off, it was important to us to have a French version of the site. English is NOT our first language, but when we launched Keira Knightley Source a year ago, we thought it had to be in English to reach a vast majority of fans. Now that it's done, we are still trying to improve the site as much as possible.

Something else that we wanted for the site was more interaction. So we came up with this simple idea : we need a forum... And now we have it. We just need you to register and post, LoL (Please note that if the confirmation code exceeds 6 letters, you'll have to refresh the page to obtain a new shorter code, otherwise the registration won't work. Also, don't fill the blank for "website").
For now we are the only two moderators but if the message board becomes... hmmm... more active (*fingers crossed*) then we will need a bit of help with it. For now we are looking for at least one fan who speaks Spanish & another one who speaks German to join our moderation team. We deeply want to open a sub-forum in Spanish and another one in German, but none of us speaks these languages. So if you want to join us... please contact us: you can use the contact form or send us a private message on the forum (either to Allison or Aurelie). Thanx!

Keira Knightley was victorious at the Empire Film Awards Sunday night. The 22-year-old star picked up the Best Actress gong for her performance in World War II drama 'Atonement' at the glitzy ceremony held at London's Grosvenor House hotel.

Voted for by readers of the British film magazine Knightley beat out competition from Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson, Katherine Heigl and Cate Blanchett. 'Atonement' was the big winner on the night, with James McAvoy named Best Actor and the movie scooping Best British Film.

'The Bourne Ultimatum' was named Best Film, and star Matt Damon collected the accolade with director Paul Greengrass.

Damon said, "I want to say thank you to the readers of Empire because I don't get many awards and I don't get nominated for a lot of awards but when I do I tend to lose out to more younger, talented, better-looking guys like James McAvoy."

Keira Knightley is set to add singer to her resume - after debuting her vocal talents on the soundtrack to new movie The Edge Of Love. The star, who appears in the forthcoming film, will perform three songs on the album, despite protestations from Knightley she isn't a good singer. She says, "I can't really sing. I had to have a few lessons, but once I started doing it, a sound emerged that wasn't too disagreeable."

She might be a big fashion icon for millions, but when it comes to Keira Knightley's own style influences, the actress admits that some of them are totally bizarre.
The 22-year-old stems her inspiration from the reigning queens of the worst dressed lists, actress Helena Bonham Carter and batty Icelandic singer Bjork.

"I don't think I'm confident enough yet to be used to being in the limelight because of my style," The Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

"But I loved the swan dress Bjork wore to the 2001 Oscars [below]. I'd love to have the courage to do the same," she added.

And of Bonham Carter, who was once described as "resembling a dusty Victorian orphan rescued from a chimney", she adds: "Helena wears whatever she wants and looks amazing."

But Keira might want to think twice before following in their footsteps as she admits: "I've become phobic of the red carpet because all I can think is I'm going to be in the worst dressed list tomorrow."

Those of you who keep an eye on the gallery may have noticed that these last couple of days I uploaded a few screen captures of Keira in SILK. All the pictures are now available.



I finally managed to watch this movie, and to be honest with you, I had no expectation whatsoever. I didn't know much about the story, I had actually no idea if the movie was supposedly good or bad. "Atonement" had been so heavily promoted that was wondering why we had heard so little about "Silk". I was... "suspicious", you know... Let's just say I had my fears about the quality of the movie, but WOW, I guess it was meant to be a good surprise. Seriously, "Silk" is absolute poetry... Everything in this movie is just so beautiful & breathtaking. And Keira's performance is so subtle... If you haven't bought the DVD, I can only recommend it. You won't regret it!

This post is simply to remind you of the auction on Clothes off Our Backs. If you want to become the proud owner of Keira's most famous dress, the green dress she was wearing in Atonement (see our pictures), well it is still up for sale and proceeds are going to benefit Variety’s Kids, a charity for abused and neglected children.

Even if you cannot bid on the dress, I still suggest you click on the link and visit the page : it contains a video clip of her putting on the dress from the film and a link to an exclusive interview with Keira Knightley talking about the fashions of Atonement.

I have uploaded 117 screen captures of "Atonement" in the gallery. I'll upload the rest of the pictures as soon as possible, but for now I only captured half of the movie.
