KEIRA KNIGHTLEY DEVASTATED BY REPORTS

Actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY was left "completely devastated" after being accused of being anorexic.The Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty was a source of constant speculation earlier this year when she appeared thinner than usual - and admits the media scrutiny has taken its toll. She says, "I was completely devastated. I am thin because that’s what I am and I was thinner at that point because of the work I do. Nothing else." The actress admits she even tried to put on weight to stop the snide remarks, adding, "I asked a doctor what I could do to put on weight. He told me that for someone of my body type to get to a size 12, I would have to eat a lot of s**t food, stop exercising and drink loads…"But I don’t want to have to go around eating crap and being really unhealthy in order for people to stop having a go at me."

NAOMI CAMPBELL ON ANOREXIC TEENS

Cell Phone Batterer Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell says it is not fair to blame the fashion industry for the rise in anorexic teenagers.The supermodel - who was named Best Model at the Elle Style Awards this week - doesn't approve of the current trend for size zero models, and thinks the fashion industry is being unfairly made culpable. Naomi said: "I don't believe in size zero. I'm a size that's right for me, I don't diet for this industry."Fashion is healthy, models are given healthy food backstage back at fashion shows."I don't think it is fair to blame the fashion industry for anorexia, when it's a psychological disease."The size 0 debate has attracted comments from all over the fashion world. Legendary British model Twiggy recently condemned the trend.The 'America's Next Top Model' judge became a catwalk icon in the 60s thanks to her waif-like figure, but is adamant the current raft of models are far too thin. She said: "The fashion industry needs to be regulated to stop this dangerous size 0 trend."When you see a model with the lollipop look, where her head is too big for her body, it means she's dieting too much."
