KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: THE NEXT BIG POP STAR?

A wet and miserable Keira Knightley bids a quick farewell to a friend after getting caught in the pouring rain outside of her Soho London home on Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, it seems the 22-year-old British starlet will soon be singing in the rain. Keira has recorded three songs for her new film The Edge Of Love.

It’s the first time the actress has used her singing voice for a movie soundtrack — she’s previously admitted it’s not her strong point.

The movie is set for release in Autumn 2008. It looks unlikely Keira will launch a pop career alongside her film work — though we would love to see it!

    She must be hoping to break Jennifer Lopez guiness record by having a number one movie and record the same week.

    I’m through with standing in line

    It’s like the bottom of the ninth
    and I’m never gonna win
    This life hasn’t turned out
    quite the way I want it to be

    (tell me what you want

    I want a brand new house
    on an episode of Cribs
    And a bathroom I can play baseball in
    And a king size tub big enough
    for ten plus me

    (yeah,so what you need)

    I’ll need a, a credit card that’s got no limit
    And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
    Gonna join the mile high club
    At thirty-seven thousand feet

    (Been there done that)

    I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
    And my own star on Hollywood Boulevard
    Somewhere between cher and
    James Dean is fine for me

    (So how ya gonna do it?)

    I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
    I’d even cut my hair and change my name

    [CHORUS]
    ‘Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
    Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
    We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat
    And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
    In the VIP with the movie stars
    Every good gold digger’s
    Gonna wind up there
    Every Playboy bunny
    with her bleach blonde hair
    and well..
    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
    Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
    Sign a couple autographs
    So I can eat my meals for free

    (I have a quesadilla… on the house)

    I’m gonna dress my ass
    with the latest fashion
    Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
    Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
    blow my money for me

    (So how ya gonna do it?)

    I’m gonna trade this life
    For fortune and fame
    I’d even cut my hair
    And change my name

    And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
    With the latest dictionary
    in today’s who’s who
    We’ll get you anything
    with that evil smile
    Everybody’s got a
    drug dealer on speed dial
    well..
    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    I’m gonna sing those songs
    that offend the censors
    Gonna pop my pills
    from a pez dispenser
    Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
    Lip sync ‘em every night so I don’t get ‘em wrong

    Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
    Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
    We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat
    And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars

    She’s been 22 for almost a year. In Britain all birth certificates are publically available so you can even look hers up on the net. So claiming her age is something else only makes you look stupid.

    If she’s “miserable” how come she looks quite happy in the pictures?

  6. ugh!

    DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH!!!!!!!!

    SHE DOESN’T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR SOHO - SHE LIVES IN WEST LONDON - SOHO IS CENTRAL LONDON - UR SUCH A SHIT TALKER ARASTO OR WHATEVER THE HELL UR NAME IS.

    I watched Sense and Sensibility for the second time on cable the other night. I can’t help it, I loved her in the movie. That said, I can’t imagine what kind of singer she could possibly be nor am I interested in finding out.

    i like her as an actress. we don’t need another manufactured pop singer.

    The character she plays in the film is a singer.
    She recorded a couple of songs for scenes in the film and they’ve made it onto the soundtrack.
    That doesn’t constitute becoming a “manufactured pop singer”.

    ^^^i wasn’t referring to her character singing in the film as manufactured.
    i was commenting on arasto’s opinion of: “It looks unlikely Keira will launch a pop career alongside her film work — though we would love to see it!”
    Arasto might love to see her launch a pop career, but i don’t want to see her as another “manufactured pop singer”. like i said, i like her as an actress.

    Oh, like that.
    I misunderstood you, then.

    ^^it’s easy to misunderstand on the net. :)
    if she was a closet singer and singing in small clubs, i’d be curious about seeing that. i’m not interested in big music company turning her into a popstar just because they can.

    freakingplease - Keira was in Pride and Prejudice. Sense and Sensibility was with Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson.
