Keira Knightley Dares to Criticize Kate Middleton

Keira Knightley has actually gone there. The veteran actress has written a letter to her husband and three-year old daughter (for Scarlett Curtis’ new book, Feminists Don’t Wear Pink (And Other Lies) in which she takes issue with Kate Middleton. Yes, Knightley has something negative to say about the most universally beloved person on the planet. In the essay, which is titled “The Weaker Sex,” Knightley compares how she looked and acted after childbirth … to how the Duchess of Cambridge appeared mere hours after she and Prince William welcomed their second child. (Knightley actually gave birth a day later.) “She was out of hospital seven hours later with her face made up and high heels on,” wrote Knightley, adding: “The face the world wants to see. Hide. Hide our pain, our bodies splitting, our breasts leaking, our hormones raging. Look beautiful, look stylish, don’t show your battleground, Kate.” This did happen, that much is certain. Looking immaculate and all made up, Middleton smiled for photographers (and, really, the entire world) on the steps on a hospital in London. She did the same thing with her third child, as you can see here: View Slideshow: Kate Middleton Baby Photos: First Precious Look! There was definitely a bit of backlash at the time, but little of it was aimed at Middleton herself. Most of it was focused on a family and a tradition that basically required Middleton to put on this face for millions so soon after giving birth. “Seven hours after your fight with life and death, seven hours after your body breaks open, and bloody, screaming life comes out. Don’t show. Don’t tell,” Knightley wrote. She continued: “Stand there with your girl and be shot by a pack of male photographers. This stuff is easy. It happens every day. What’s the big deal? So does death, you s–t-heads, but you don’t have to pretend that’s easy.” For the record: Kate and William presented their first child Prince George, now 5, and their youngest son Prince Louis, now 5 months old, in the same manner. This is just how a Duchess has to roll. In her letter, though, Knightley thought back to how loved ones visited the hospital after she became a mother and she “wore a hospital gown with paper pants on.” She was still bleeding from childbirth. She recalled how she was exposed, even showing her cellulite, as she hurried to take care of the newborn upon hearing her cries. “My breast is out in front of them all and I don’t care,” she wrote. “Your life is my life. You need me. I’m there. F-ck them all with their eyes watching, their embarrassed faces at my animalistic semi-nudity. Is this soft motherhood?” There was shit and vomit and blood, Knightley remembers, detailing the graphic consequences of childbirth for all women. For Middleton, too. But the world only got a look at the pristine version of this popular Royal. “I remember my battleground,” she writes in this essay. “Your battleground and life pulsating. Surviving. And I am the weaker sex? You are?” It’s an interesting take, isn’t it? What do you think of Knightley’s overall criticism here?

Jana Duggar: Still Not Courting, Still Slaving Away For Family!

Jana Duggar, despite all the exciting courtships involving her siblings in recent months, and years,, is still hard at work for her family. Yes, with Jill, Jessa, Jinger married and Joy-Anna Duggar courting, everyone is moving on … except the eldest daughter of the family. If you watch Counting On online or follow the family’s comings and goings on social media, you’ve most likely drawn this exact conclusion: Jana works hard so her sisters don’t have to . That is pretty much accepted fact at this stage. But it begs the question of just how voluntary this all is, and the motivations behind it: Is the soon-to-be 27-year-old (she and twin John David are the second oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 kids, after Josh) upset about it? Outwardly, at least, she seems very happy. Whether she’s chaperoning birthday parties, putting up Christmas decorations around the house, or fixing shower heads, she’s all smiles. Because she commits herself to behind-the-scenes work, Jana is seldom (relatively, at least) featured on her family’s social media. Still, there are exceptions to this rule. Before Jill shared photos of stillborn Jubilee , the family was seen celebrating their 19th surviving child Josie-Brooklyn’s seventh birthday. “Happy late birthday post, Josie (even though you don’t have Facebook)!” the Duggars wrote on Facebook, along with the pic above. “Every day we see you continue to grow into such a wonderful and sweet young lady with a loving heart,” they added. “Everyone had a fun time celebrating Josie’s 7th birthday at our local bowling alley and going out for ice cream afterwards!” Front and center was Jana. This is a recurring theme Duggar Nation has clearly noticed: Jana only seems to warrant a mention when she is hard at work – around the house or outside of the house, but always for others. She also appeared in photo fixing a shower head with a friend (above), showing off her many talents that her family puts to good use. Are they doing so at the expense of her personal life, though? Accounts vary, with some sources claiming Jim Bob won’t let her court, implicitly or explicitly, because he needs her to take care of the kids. Other sources say the right one simply hasn’t come along . Yet. In 2015 it was reported that Jana turned down Zach Bates , who really wanted to go to the next level, after “secret chaperoned dates.” She hasn’t named names herself, but did recently reveal this: “There have been different guys who have come along and asked, but they haven’t been, I don’t know, the right one.” “It can be tempting, like, ‘Oh, I really want to be married.'” “Because in those moments, your siblings that are married and have little ones are going on dates and doing their thing.” “It’s like this weird in-between stage,” Jana reflects. “I’m not a younger one, but I’m not an older, married one with kids.” The latest Duggar to start courting is Joy-Anna, who recently entered into a relationship with Austin Forsyth, a family friend for years. Jana … is still doing her thing, as she has for years. Despite constant speculation surrounding her life – which even included unfounded Jana Duggar lesbian rumors – she seems content. One can assume, and hope, that when the time is right, our girl will find someone to spend her life with, and that we shouldn’t worry.  Given that she appears to be the sweetest, most wonderful human being ever created – not to mention gorgeous – she’ll have options. Whether she takes them, hopefully, is up to her! View Slideshow: Jana Duggar Photos: So Beautiful, So Maligned

Love Actually Cast: Where Are They Now?

Love Actually is “actually” one of the greatest British Christmas movies ever made, including A Christmas Carol .   Hell, Love Actually is one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made — period. Since it came out in 2003, the film has grossed almost 250 million dollars, and cast megawatt stars like Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, and Laura Linney, amongst a ton of other A-list names.  See where the stars of your favorite Christmas movie are now … and what they look like now!  1. Bill Nighy Nighy, who played aging rocker Billy Mack, went on to star in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour, and the Best Marigold Hotel films, as well as the Underworld and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises. No matter what he’s done since, he still has that Billy Mack flair about him, though, doens’t he? 2. Martin Freeman Freeman, who played Porno John, went on to star in the television version of Fargo, BBC’s hit show, Sherlock, Captain America: Civil War, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the Hobbit films. He’s got that cute Hobbit-y look going for him, right? 3. Laura Linney Linney, who played the lovelorn Sarah who was too good-hearted to have her own damn life, went on to star in Sully, The Squid and the Whale, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Linney was definitely in her heyday with Love Actually, and most of her more popular roles were in 2003 — when the film was released — or earlier. 4. Billy Bob Thornton Thornton, who played the worst President of the United States since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States (man, it’s like they knew), went on to star in the Bad Santa movies, Friday Night Lights, and Entourage, as well as continued working on his musical career in a band where he plays drums and vocals. We’re still skeeved out by his performance as POTUS, though. 5. Hugh Grant Grant, who played David the Prime Minister, later went on to star in the second-to-last Bridget Jones movie, Cloud Atlas, and Florence Foster Grant. He might be getting older, but we’d still do ’em. 6. Colin Firth Firth, who played writer Jamie, later starred in A Single Man, won an Oscar for The King’s Speech, and went onto finish the remainder of the Bridget Jones movies. He also stayed stunningly yummy, and anyone with eyes would agree that Firth is a silver fox. View Slideshow

Girls Who Voted Taking the Opportunity to Slutty Selfie that they Voted of the Day

I am sure there are a lot of women whining today, but then again women whine everyday, today they just have a reason to cry – because History wasn’t made and a woman wasn’t elected president, but I’m sure they’ll be fine – as Donald Trump was probably just trolling for votes and will actually swap out his banter for good…it’s possible – and worst case scenario – he can grab them by the pussy – to make them feel better.. Well, in girls being girls, because that’s what girls do…a group took the event of voting and decided to make it a social media angle, an instagram slutty pic, because they need stories to make slutty, and I’m a firm believer that people only do things for the sake of the pic now….. I know not all of these are slutty enough, but I think all girls are slutty, I’m that guy…a little cleavage and I am good…and the girl who voted twice is ok…I like her style…because she’s topless…always turn voting for the future of your country….maybe you shoulda voted harder…even though your opinion doesn’t matter…and topless pics do…good job girl… The post Girls Who Voted Taking the Opportunity to Slutty Selfie that they Voted of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Keira Knightley Has Been Secretly Wearing Wigs For … So Long

Keira Knightley discusses her hair with ‘InStyle’ U.K.

Keira Knightley Has Been Secretly Wearing Wigs For … So Long

Keira Knightley Wears Wigs, And It’s All Hollywood’s Fault!

Keira Knightley’s follicles have been through hell for movie roles, so much so that she now wears wigs. Knightley doesn’t mind though, she assured UK’s InStyle . When asked about the biggest risk she’s taken with her looks, Knightley didn’t hesitate with her answer. “I have dyed my hair virtually every colour imaginable for different films,” she said. “It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head! So for the past five years I’ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my hair.” Knightley is most well known for her period dramas, and of course, the Pirates of the Caribbean films, all of which required the British actress to take on different looks. The good news is that the birth of her daughter , Edie in May 2015, brought a special gift. THICKER HAIR! “I have naturally crazy, curly hair, and since I’ve had the baby it’s become 10 times thicker,” Knightley said. “So now I’ve been finding quite a lot of dreadlocks. Tangle Teezer is the only thing that works for detangling my dreadlocks. It gets rid of the kinks without snagging my hair out. I also use conditioner every two or three days.  “My skin has also become significantly drier with age, so I moisturise and I try to drink as much water as possible,” she continued. “Aside from that, my teeth are always brushed, and I use lip balm. “My new approach is, ‘Do what you can remember, and don’t worry about it too much.'” Shockingly, Knightley’s porcelain skin wasn’t always so perfect. “I didn’t do anything with my skin until I started getting acne, at which point I did everything possible to get rid of it,” Knightley recalled. “I tried a million products, but none of them worked. I had bad skin up until I was 25. I later learned that it was more about diet and hormonal changes.”

21 Stars Who Spoke Out Against Sexism in Hollywood

To say there's a little bit of a sexism problem in Hollywood is like saying David Duke is a little bit racist. From slut-shaming to body-shaming, from the pay gap to the number of female speaking characters in films (it's just 29.9 percent), celebrity women are regularly given the short end of the stick compared to their male counterparts. We've got a long way to go, but some celebrities are now speaking out against the injustices women in Tinseltown must deal with on a daily basis. 1. Taylor Swift For years, Taylor Swift was called out for writing songs about her exes, but she asked a curious question: why aren’t male artists targeted for doing the same thing? 2. Scarlett Johansson During a press conference promoting Avengers with Robert Downey, Jr., Johansson was questioned on how she got in shape for the role while Downey was asked about character development. Her response: “How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, ‘rabbit food’ question?” 3. Tom Hardy Speaking about Mad Max: Fury Road, Tom Hardy had this to say: “The lead of this movie is a female amputee. It’s a total empowerment of women. It’s actually about f**king time.” 4. Rihanna When a reporter assumed Rihanna was looking for her “next man,” she shut it down like a total badass. 5. John Legend When Chrissy Teigen was mom-shamed for going out a week after giving birth, husband John Legend questioned why he wasn’t targeted. “Funny there’s no dad-shaming,” he wrote on Twitter. “When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn’t have to take it all. We’ll split it.” 6. Madonna Madonna brilliantly points out the sexist and ageist double standard surrounding women dating younger men by comparing herself to Mick Jagger. View Slideshow
