Keira’s advice: become a stockbroker!

Keira Knightley 

Keira Knightley has slammed those seeking to be famous and given them an alternative career possibility instead: to go and work on the stock market. Err, okay. She also criticises those who concentrate too much on her looks. She says:

“Okay, I’m on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the make-up, and airbrushes me. It’s not me, it’s something other people have created.”

Too true! Look at some of the other examples on this blog – SJP, Christina Aguilera, Gwyneth Paltrow…sometimes these magazines turn their cover stars into someone else entirely!

Unless…is this a secret cry for help from Keira? Is there something underhand going on in the magazine industry? Perhaps all these fashion mags are undergoing some vast cloning experiment…and that’s why those on the cover always look a bit “odd”. Hmmm.

Or maybe Keira Knightley is just stunningly beautiful, and the magazines try and perfect her even more. Yeah, whatever. I like my “experiment” theory better.

Seriously guys…what?

Yeah, it happens to me too. I go see a film and come out thinking “the music totally rocked!!” (for films often turn me into an American teenager from the 80s) and end up humming the best songs for the next few days before I cave in and buy the soundtrack.

One film that DIDN’T make me do any of the above is The Simpsons Movie. Not because it was a bad movie – it was generally so-so. There just wasn’t any music apart from the theme tune which I may well have already heard 2,058,349 times and don’t need to own. Oh yeah, and that silly Spider Pig song, ha ha…funny…for about 5 minutes.

Except that some like it a bit too much. This “song” is actually currently in the UK charts at number 23. Wha…?

Spider Pig

Hans Zimmer is credited as the song’s composer. I like him. He do Miami Vice.
