Keira Knightly Furious As Ex Attends Premier Party

Keira Knightly Furious As Ex Attends Premier Party 2007-01-01
KNIGHTLEY JUGGLES MEN AT MOVIE PREMIERE: British beauty KEIRA KNIGHTLEY was reportedly left furious at the London
premiere of her new film PRIDE AND PREJUDICE on Monday night (05SEP05), when
her ex-boyfriend turned up unannounced at the after-party.
Knightley split from Irish model JAMIE DORNAN last month (AUG05) and is now
dating BODYROCKERS DJ KAZ JAMES, who was present at the Leicester Square
premiere of the movie.
But James returned to the couple's hotel after the premiere screening, just
moments before Dornan arrived at the Whitehall Place bash in the British
capital.
A insider tells British newspaper The Sun, "Keira had a busy night making
sure her tangled romance wasn't the centre of attention.
"Kaz was messed about all day. Keira sent him tickets for the film then got
cold feet about him going to the party afterwards.
"He left the screening and headed straight to her hotel. It was just as well
because Jamie was kicking about too. He is still close to Keira and a
confrontation between him and Kaz would have been a huge embarrassment."
Director JOE WRIGHT was thrilled when screen beauties KEIRA KNIGHTLEY and
ROSAMUND PIKE agreed to get covered in mud for PRIDE AND PREJUDICE - because he
insists it makes the big screen adaptation of JANE AUSTEN's classic novel even
more romantic.
The British film-maker wanted to focus on the rural setting of the love
story, and saw farmyard filth as the perfect accompaniment to ELIZABETH BENNET
and MR DARCY's burgeoning attraction.
He enthuses, "Yeah, there's mud everywhere. I think it makes the romantic
ideal of love seem much more heroic.
"The characters are looking up at the stars even though their feet are in the
pig shit."
