Gallery: Hayden Gets A Bust Boost Plus Other Celebrity Enhancements.

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere‘s upcoming movie, “I Love You Beth Cooper,” should probably be renamed “I Love You Boob Cooper.” I normally don’t notice things like this, but in this case, you can’t quite help it—the 19-year-old actress looks way bustier in the movie poster than she does in real life. Honestly, I don’t think they needed to up her bra size to pack nerds into the theater to see the movie—after all, she is the invincible cheerleader from “Heroes.” [Daily Mail]

Yeah, yeah, we all know that celebrities are airbrushed in advertisements. But sometimes photo editors get a little trigger-happy with their “enhancements.” Gratuitous boob jobs seem to be pretty common, but photo retouchers can also alter a star’s face, their hair, or even their butt. Read on to see who else got (digital) work done.

Domestic Violence PSA Too Violent For TV

Keira Knightley's Domestic Violence PSA

The anti-violence PSA starring Keira Knightley that we shared with you earlier this month won’t be airing. British advertising overseer Clearcast wants several scenes cut from the ad because they’re too shocking for TV viewers. So, people can watch women getting beaten on crime shows, but they can’t handle it during a two-minute commercial that intends to raise awareness about domestic violence? I guess this is why we have the internet. [AHN]

Keira Knightley And Sienna Miller Fight Over A Man In “The Edge Of Love”

Keira Knightley seems to make period film after period film, and “The Edge of Love” doesn’t break the trend. In it, she and Sienna Miller play two women loved by the famous poet Dylan Thomas. The movie is out in very limited release in the U.S., but we think it looks worth Netflixing for a few reasons: 1) Lindsay Lohan was originally cast in the role Sienna plays, and we’d like to imagine how the train-wreck would have played it. 2) A first, we didn’t even recognize Sienna Miller. She had to put on a little weight for the role, and she looks lovelier than ever. 3) Matthew Rhys, aka Kevin Walker on “Brothers & Sisters,” plays Dylan Thomas. 4) Cillian Murphy and his baby blues.

Keira Knightley Gets Domestically Abused

The British anti-violence charity Women’s Aid just released this PSA starring Keira Knightley and directed by Joe Wright (“Atonement” and “Pride and Prejudice”). “I wanted to take place in this advert for Women’s Aid because while domestic violence exists in ever section of society, we rarely hear about it,” Knightley said. “We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening.” Beware, because the two-minute video is disturbing—but then so is domestic violence, and maybe we need to be shocked into realizing what’s goes on in some relationships. Rihanna, are you listening? [E News]

    Poll: Can You Tell The Difference Between Keira Knightley’s Movie Characters?

    Keira Knightley films

    I have this theory that Keira Knightley plays the same character in nearly every movie and gets lauded by critics as if she’s reinvented the wheel every time. With the exception of films like Domino, The Jacket, and Love Actually, Knightley is always cast a period film heroine from an upper-crust family who slums it with a poor guy or wins the heart of a rich cad. To prove my theory, I’ve assembled pictures of six of Keira’s most famous characters. See if you can match the letter of the image to the number of the film. FYI, I’ll reveal the answers at the end of the day, so check back.

    THE FILMS: Atonement (1); The Duchess (2); King Arthur (3); Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (4); Pride & Prejudice (5); Silk (6)

    The Daily Squeeze: The Pill Online, Keira Knightley’s Mom, And Family Dinners And Drugs

    birth control package
  • A private company in the U.K. is going to offer the pill to women over the age of 18. Say a woman has taken the pill before, well, with this website, she won’t have to go to her doctor when she needs to get her prescription refilled. This doesn’t really make sense to me since women should be getting yearly checkups. [MarieClaire.co.uk]

    Everyone Wants To Be A Princess

    Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's

    “Tiaras are like a pair of high heels that make you stand tall and upright so you don’t slouch,” says Andrew Prince, a jeweler in Britain. “They are probably the most useless and yet the most wonderful piece of jewelry a woman can own.” In our culture of consumption, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings aren’t enough accessories anymore. Tiaras, which were once reserved for royal weddings, have been selling for higher prices over the past few years, and the jewelry director for Christie’s Europe said that he has seen parents buy a tiara for a daughter’s wedding—when the daughter was as young as five. While they could never be worn as an everyday accessory (even the Queen goes without), tiaras are quite lovely if worn correctly. We prefer the variety that does not resemble something that belongs in a pageant (photos after the jump). [Portfolio]

    Keira Knightley and James McAvoy In The Library

    Before seeing Atonement this weekend, I watched a segment on TV that went on and on about the super hot sex scene where Keira Knightley and James McAvoy get it on in the library. The show had an interview with James, who said that something like seven or eight of the barely there emerald green dresses were destroyed during the filming of the passionate sequence—they kept tearing. Well, that kind of ruined it for me. Watching the scene, all I could do was wonder how so many dresses could have been destroyed during the scene, which was less steamy than I expected it to be. And then I read an interview in which Keira said the director actually walked them through the scene, calling out instructions as they went along. Kind of makes you think less about the passion between the characters Cecilia and Robbie, and more about some old guy yelling, “Now, grab his groin!” [Monsters and Critics and The Deadbolt]
