Keira Knightley Poses Nude

Keira Knightley (24), an actress who has long resisted nude scenes in her films and photo shoots due to her small breasts, has finally agreed to pose nude. She has been making clandestine visits to the Halcyon Gallery in London to pose nude for artist Mitch Griffiths, according to the Daily Mail. A source tells The Mail, "It's considered a great honor to be painted by Mitch. He is a highly respected nude painter and is painting a number of subjects for an exhibition next year. He is delighted Keira agreed to take part." Keira obviously remains very happy with her flat-chested figure. She demanded that promotional shots for her film "The Duchess" were left untouched after posters for "King Arthur" were altered to enhance her breasts. Keira Knightley is currently appearing in a West End play, ``The Misanthrope.'' In the modern-day version of Moliere's 17th century masterpiece, Keira plays a Hollywood film star. jungjoobin@gmail.com '절벽가슴' 키이라 누드 모델 작은 가슴 때문에 누드 영화, 화보 촬영 등을 거부해 왔던 배우 키이라 나이틀리가 드디어 누드모델로 나섰다. 데일리 메일에 따르면 그녀는 최근 비밀리에 영국 런던 할시온 갤러리

Countersuit Filed Against Kwon for Defamation; Photos Released by Ex-Girlfriend By Cho Jae-hyon Staff Reporter Beleaguered star actor Lee Byung-hun, dragged into a legal battle by a Korean-Canadian gymnast over alleged sexual misconduct and gambling allegations, said the truth would be brought to light through legal procedures. His lawyer said Monday that a complaint was filed Friday with the prosecution against the woman, identified only as Kwon, for defaming the top Korean wave, or hallyu, star with false allegations.

Make-up Free Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone proved why a slick of lipstick is a girl's best friend as she attended a star studded premiere. Daily Mail has put up two photos of Sharon Stone before and after the make-up to the public. The Basic Instinct star looked glowing and youthful in a simple but sleek black trouser suit at the premiere in California. Hours earlier she had been showing signs of her 51 years as she left the hair salon make-up free, Daily Mail reports. She was dressed down in ripped jeans and a long white coat as she walked out the Beverly Hills salon. Some of her fans were disappointed with her old look. However, it is understandable if Sharon is looking tired. Her father is seriously ill with oesophageal cancer and doctors have told him he only has limited time left, according to U.S. reports. Sharon had been making regular trips to visit her parents in their Montana home, but has now put her career on hold to make her father's final days easier. 샤론 스톤 자글자글 주름에 팬들 실망 샤론 스톤이 유명 스타들이 출연하는 시사회 참가로 주름이 자글자글한 `생얼'이 공개돼 팬들을 실망시켰다. 데일리 메일은 샤론 스톤의 화장 전후 모습을 비교
