Actress Keira Knightley has begun legal action against a newspaper publisher over suggestions she has lied about having an eating disorder.

The Daily Mail published a photograph of the 21-year-old on a beach, with remarks about her weight, in an article about a girl who had died of anorexia.

Ms Knightley claims the article implies she has been dishonest in denying having any such problems.

She rose to fame in films Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean.

In a statement via her lawyers, Ms Knightley said she would also challenge the suggestion that she is responsible and to blame for the tragic death of the teenage girl by setting a bad example.

It's amazing you can sue for almost anything now. I remember Elton John sued a paper for saying he had a problem eating and used to spit out food.

The newspaper said that a girl died because she copied Keira's eating disorder - that's a very serious allegation and I'm not surprised she's suing.

Of course, the newspaper could suggest another reason she's so thin but she'd probably sue over that too!

Personally, I think Keira is too skinny but I still find her attractive. Ah well.

Keira has always been really skinny... I've seen more meat on a jockey's whip.

I'd say it's pretty obvious thats the way she's built, so good on her for suing.... Papers think they can print any vile comments these days, without a shred of truth in them, and get away with it- I hope she takes them to the cleaners!
