Keira Knightley sues over anorexia claim
British actress Keira Knightley is reported to be taking legal action against the Daily Mail after the paper suggested that she lied about having an eating disorder.
The newspaper published a picture of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star in an article about the death of a teenage girl suffering from anorexia.
"We wish to make clear that Ms Knightley has the deepest sympathy for the girl's family," said her attorney, Simon Smith.

"However, Ms Knightley has publicly denied suggestions that she might be anorexic or have a similar eating disorder."
Smith said that his client would challenge the suggestion that she was responsible for the girl's death "by setting a bad example."
