Keira Knightley was named the number one women’s beauty icon of 2007 in a poll of 2,500 people.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean actress beat TV presenter Kelly Brook and supermodel Kate Moss to win the greatest share of votes.

All 10 of the women named as top beauty icons in the Superdrug poll are British.

Glamour model Katie Price, also known as Jordan, came just ahead of Paris Hilton to get the number 10 slot.

Superdrug beauty director Katherine Le Clerc said: “The top 10 beauty icons list shows that today there is room for everyone’s idea of true beauty.”

“From the aloof glamour of Keira Knightley and Victoria Beckham’s high-maintenance gloss to the fresh faced youthful looks of Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Gemma Atkinson.”

Kate Moss, 33, is the oldest woman in the top 10 followed by Victoria Beckham, Superdrug said.

The survey of 2,500 people was carried out for the retailer by market researchers 72point earlier this month.

These are, in order, the top beauty icons of 2007 as named in the Superdrug poll: Keira Knightley, Kelly Brook, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Gemma Atkinson, Alesha Dixon, Lily Allen and Jordan.

P.S. Am I the only one who thinks Lily Allen is a BIG stretch for a beauty list? Cause personality is part of beauty and hers.. well, it ain’t so pretty! They might as well put Amy Winehouse on there! Ha!

The welcome mat is out for George Clooney, Keira Knightley and Julia Roberts – as well as the other Golden Globe nominees.

NBC says that the Jan. 13 ceremony will proceed as planned, despite the threat of picketing from the striking Writers Guild of America and stars boycotting the event as a show of support, reports USA Today.

Fears of nominees turning into no-shows had caused some talk of possibly canceling the broadcast or, at a minimum, severely damaging the ratings of the telecast.

On Friday, The New York Times ran a story casting doubt on the possibility of the Globes’ proceeding as originally planned.

The paper quoted Jeff Hermanson, strike coordinator for the Writers Guild of American West and the Writers Guild of America East, as positioning protestors around the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the ceremony will take place.

“If the Globes is telecast and it is produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is a struck company, we will picket the show,” he said.

Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group behind the Globes, reportedly vowed that the 65th annual ceremony will go on, as intended.

Six weeks after the Globes come the Oscars, on Feb. 24. The star power of the first event is expected to serve as a gauge for the second.

People 

Keira Knightley is probably the most annoying crybaby ever. She is always bitching about how hard it is to be skinny, to have no boobs, to get photoshopped, blah, blah, blah. She’s famous and she still finds really menial things to complain about. Most famous chicks starve themselves to look like Keira yet she is naturally that thin and complains about it. Its rather obnoxious.

“It’s really frustrating, and particularly when you come to Venice film festival with a film that is an intelligent film. It’s a thought-provoking film you can have a really good discussion about.

“I think it was just a shame that that had to be brought up then, and the fact that we all knew that it was going to be brought up. We actually had a bet going. I was like ‘Come on, how many times either anorexia or something about my body, are going to come up.’”

“I think what I want to keep it about is the work, that’s all I’m interested in, and when you’ve got a project like this I think it’s a shame to take it away from that.”

I sort of wish someone would NOT ask her about her weight, and then she’d be thrown out of her element. She wouldn’t get any attention. I mean, its not like she’s a great actress so being thin is the only way she gets attention. Without that, what does she have left? Hell, I’d embrace it if I was her.

Johnny Depp, pictured here at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in Tokyo, has said that kissing his co-star, Keira Knightley, was weird because she is much younger than he is.

You know, Kirsten Dunst kissed Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt when she was like, 12 in that vampire movie, and that was movie gold! They all said that was weird but I think that was because even back then Kiki was a snaggle tooth. It had nothing to do with age, I’m positive.

I don’t care if Johnny Depp is 90 years old, I’d still make out with him and love every second of it! He is so awesome. How does anyone not like Johnny Depp? I was friends with this chick who was totally obsessed with him. She even had a Pirates of the Caribbean party when the dvd came out. I didn’t think she was crazy, but I didn’t really see the appeal.

NOW, though, after the ordeal with his daughter getting sick and this new quote about him being a thousand years old (funny), I am beginning to have a crush on him.

Here’s what the Benny and Joon star said about kissing Keira Knightley:

“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.“

I bet she was a great sport about it. She probably has a secret crush on Johnny Depp. What’s with her boyfriend, Rupert Friend, looking almost exactly freaking like Orlando Bloom? Does anyone, besides me, find that really fricken weird? Whatever, though.

After the death of a young bulemic girl was blamed on her, Keira said she went to her doctor and told him that she desperately wanted to gain weight.

I’m so sure. And who doesn’t know how to gain weight? If I eat a cookie or have a bowl of ice cream without working out I’ll gain two pounds. I think she just wants us to believe she’s so naturally skinny that she can’t gain weight so she goes to a doctor. Please.

And, to top it off, not only did Keira’s doctor tell her that if she wanted to gain weight she’d have to eat junk food and stop exercising, but Keira says she wants a “sexy” body like Beth Ditto’s body.

Yuck. Puke. Nasty. We’ve already discussed Beth Ditto, but to refresh for those who don’t remember–I don’t hate Beth Ditto because she’s fat, rather I hate her for the way she presents herself.

Keira was quoted saying, “When she (Ditto) was performing she started taking all her clothes off. I stood there watching her strip, thinking, ‘Oh my God, that woman is so sexy.’ She has the most amazing body.”

Umm, are there two Beth Dittos in the world? And was Keira looking at the fit, thin, and healthy Beth Ditto than isn’t dating a tranny and doesn’t get drunk onstage and say really nasty things?

There have to be two Beth Dittos, that’s the only way I can think of this quote about Keira thinking Beth Ditto is sexy could be true. That or she’s lost her marbles completely. But no one wants to look like Beth Ditto!
