Keira Knightley has a 23-and-a-half-inch waist. Justine Gale - who was a body double for the actress on the set of her new movie "The Duchess" - has revealed the extent of the actress' tiny body.

Justine - who has the same measurements as Keira and tried on all the outfits before scenes - said: "When pulling in my corset, all measurements were checked. I was most thankful for that on the day a new wardrobe assistant mistakenly pulled me into a 22-and-a-half-inch waist. Ouch! I'm sure Keira felt the same. And thankfully I was 'let out' an inch."

Keira Knightley is set for an on-screen reunion with Orlando Bloom.

The pair - who starred together in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy alongside Johnny Depp - are to appear in 'The Fever Returns', a new film based on cult disco movie 'Saturday Night Fever'.

Keira Knightley is unsure what direction to take her career in.

'The Duchess' star - who shot to fame in 2002 movie 'Bend It Like Beckham' and has since starred in a host of acclaimed films, including 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - doesn't know which role to take on next.

Keira Knightley wants to get pregnant so people won't think she is anorexic. "The Duchess" actress - who is often criticized for her slim figure - believes she would get a break from her detractors if she had a baby.

She said: "That's a good reason to have a kid. They won't say I'm anorexic any more. S**t, I've got to have a child."

Rachel Weisz has topped a poll of Hollywood's sexiest women, as voted by lesbians. "The Mummy" actress - who is engaged to "Requiem For A Dream" director Darren Aronofsky - took the number one spot in the Women We'd Love To Love poll of 4,000 gay women.

A spokesman is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "From her woman in peril in the first two 'Mummy' movies to her Academy Award winning turn in 'The Constant Gardener,' Rachel Weisz is one gorgeous English gal with a whole lot of range."

Keira Knightley has hired a bodyguard after being verbally abused on the street. The actress has been left shaken after a passer-by jumped out at her and screamed obscenities as she walked alone near her home in Richmond, London.

The 23-year-old star spent much of her time in a private room at the after-party following the premiere of the "The Duchess" on Wednesday, as she feared for her safety.
