KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has rubbished claims she lived a life of luxury shooting the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN sequel in the Bahamas, insisting she grew sick of the tropical location. Regardless of the beautiful set, Knightley soon pined for her London home. She says, "You end up getting island fever. It's great for a couple of weeks - you go, 'Oh look, there's a beach it's lovely,' but then you go, 'Ok, what else? I've done the beach, I've done the sea, I've read all my books - I can't do anything else."

Keira Knightley may be a busy girl, but she still has time for Mother. Privately and professionally.
The Oscar-nominated actress has insisted that space be cleared in her hectic schedule so she can star in a movie based on a screenplay written by her mother, award-winning playwright Sharman Macdonald. At one point, producers for the picture, The Best Time Of Our Lives, wanted to shoot the film this summer but alas, Keira had back-to-back projects and no window could be found.
It was even feared that she was so busy she might not be able to appear in her mother's film at all. But the pair are incredibly close and Keira demanded that room be made in her schedule for Mum. Now, I can reveal, Keira will go before cameras in January to shoot The Best Time Of Our Lives.
The picture is based on a terrifying incident in 1945 involving Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin and another couple - Vera Phillips, a friend of the poet's from his Swansea school days, and her husband William Killick. After a clash at a pub in New Quay, Killick - using a machine gun - fired at the Thomas home and threatened to hurl a grenade through a window.
Ms Macdonald's script explains the complex background behind the shooting, which left the celebrated poet and his wife shaken but unhurt. Keira will portray Caitlin. The actress has just completed work on the love story Silk and next month films Atonement for director Joe Wright. After that, she and other cast members finish work on the third episode of the Pirates Of The Caribbean film series.

"Design giant CHANEL is thrilled to be replacing shamed supermodel KATE MOSS with actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY - as she is "untouched by scandal". The fashion house, who dropped Moss after she was exposed snorting cocaine last year (05), were keen to recruit a more clean-cut face to represent their brand. A source says, "Keira loves Chanel and she is perfect for them. Not only is she gorgeous but, unlike Kate, she has never been touched by scandal."

Britain is buzzing with the prospect of Oscar nominees Judi Dench or Keira Knightley bringing home the best actress honours.
So how did Keira greet the prospect of bagging a gold statue? She fell asleep.
If the Pride And Prejudice actress wins the famous statuette it will make her the youngest ever woman to triumph in the lead
actress category. However, Keira doesn't seem that excited.
While her mum and assistant waited with bated breath to hear the nominations, Keira was asleep on the set of the latest Pirates
Of The Caribbean film in the Bahamas.
"Suddenly I heard what can only be described as yelping and then my mum and assistant running into my room staying 'you've
been nominated!'" Keira tells the Daily Mail. "At which point, I have to say that I promptly said 'That's wicked' and went back
to sleep."
No champagne? No jumping on the furniture with glee?
"I couldn't sleep properly anyway because people have been squealing all morning. I think it's going to be a squealy kind of day."
