Why Does Keira Knightley Always Look So Sad?

Most stars have their own trademark pose on the red carpet. Think Renee Zellweger with her pursed lips looking like she just took a shot of lemon juice, or Lindsay Lohan's classic blowing kiss move. As for Keira Knightley, with her wildly perfect facial features and oddly appealing underbite, she's patented "The Pout." As she puts it:
"I was pouty when I was 16 or 17 and it's sort of stuck...It's when I'm nervous and my neck gets really really tense and then that pressure sort of squeezes up to my lips and they push out and there you go, that's the pout."
Though, if nerves are to blame for Keira's moody look on red carpets, why pout her way through movie roles as well? We examine the Knightley Pout from both past and present, on and off-screen, after the jump. More »

'Pirates' Sets Records, Sort Of, Even Though Records Are Silly And Who's Counting Anyway?

As you settle back into your ergonomic seats after a well-deserved long weekend, contemplating how a Tuesday morning could feel more hopeless than any Monday ever did, consider stirring some box office numbers into your coffee instead of that heaping teaspoon of rat poison. You'll thank us if you do. More »

Rosie Abandons Her Post, Never To Be Heard From Again


· Rosie and her Sharpie-wielding heavies pack it in early. You all hurt her feelings! You should be ashamed of yourselves!
· In honor of Pirates' opening, Fandango imagines some other blockbusters based on Disney rides. We don't really have the heart to tell them that Jungle Cruise is already happening, or that Vinnie Chase is likely going to be the one to star in Matterhorn, after he refuses to bang Prince Yair's wife to get Medellin made.
· New York's Saks Fifth Ave. shoe department has just been granted its own zip code (yes, you read that correctly). We can't let those East Coast philistines outdo us: Let's make Barney's accessories department its own sovereign nation state!
· Blogging.la is having a "worst job in Los Angeles" contest. Scott Rudin's first assistant? Brett Ratner's Toejam Removal Coordinator? Are you guys even paying attention?
· Remember that whole chained-to-the-stairs, swinging-firepokers and fired-shots insanity at the O'Neal's place? Ryan's off the hook.

Fox Hoping To Simulate Quality Entertainment

· Sandra Bullock will star in The Proposal, a romcom about a "demanding female boss" who winds up in a sham marriage to her "young male assistant" in order to avoid deportation to Canada. Hopefully this won't put any bright ideas into the heads of nebbish agents who hired their call-rollers based on their fuckability alone. [Variety]
· Fox has bought the rights to The SIMS videogame series, which they feel has great potential for "traditional story telling," something the simulated gay cowboy love story Brokeback SIMS Mountain has already poignantly proven.
· Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is on a course for a box office bounty as bloated and incomprehensible as the movie itself. [Variety]
· Despite producers having taken out a full-page ad trumpeting Nicolas Cage would play young(er) Al Capone in The Untouchables' prequel, "scheduling conflicts" won't allow the actor to participate. They can take great comfort in knowing that not only have they dodged a massive bullet, but that white-hot breakout Spartan Gerard Butler is on board, taking over for Sean Connery in the role of Jimmy "That's the Chicago Way" Malone. [Variety]
· TV Networks scan the 2006-2007 ratings data, then promptly crap their pants. [THR]

Orlando Bloom Hoping To Grow Out Of Elf And Pirate Roles, Perhaps Play Dancing Cat On London Stage

With Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End poised to be the next in a wave of mammoth movie installments currently toppling box office records, star Orlando Bloom—who, having played Gwyneth-haired Elf warrior Legolas in the LOTR trilogy, is no stranger to the grueling schedule of back-to-back adventure trilogy shoots—admits to the MTV Movies Blog of having the kind of career fatigue that plagues only a handful of actors. That is, having one's fill of starring roles in gigantic-budgeted movies that approximately half the world's population will see: More »

So that you wouldn't have to, Wired.com's Lore Sj berg sampled this summer's crop of breakfast cereal movie tie-ins, those boxed, promotional confections aimed at ensuring that the public is either breathing, eating, or excreting the studio's summer blockbusters at all times. Some of his findings: More »

Defamer Connections: 'Pirates' Pants-Plunderer Seeks Quickie Treasure

Impressive CGI sequences and box office shattering numbers aside, we at Defamer realize some of this summer's major releases may leave audiences feeling a little underserved. All the more credit, then, to an anonymous Craigslist patron who seeks to enhance his Pirates of the Caribbean viewing experience, but doesn't need expensive bells and whistles like 3-D IMAX sequences to do so: More »

That Thing On The 'Pirates' Billboard Explained

Yesterday, we threw a question open to you, our far wiser and more cultured readership, as to what the hell was going on with an altered Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest billboard we'd passed several times on Sunset. Someone had stuck an image of a face we've seen wheatpasted around town many times before (whom we always assumed was Jakob Dylan, for some reason), though the heights and scale of this particular stunt finally got us to wonder what it all meant. Many of you pointed us to the answer—it's the work of a street artist named Seizer-One, and the face is his own. Thanks, guys—we'll sleep much better knowing Bob Iger now has the correct information on where to send his stormtroopers in order to deliver some Mickey Mouse-brand street justice to the guy vandalizing their promotional real estate.
