Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley looked like they were trying to out-skinny each other at the world premiere of their new movie Edge of Love at the Edinburgh Film Festival yesterday.
With Sienna wearing a black tasselled dress and vintage bowler hat combo, and Keira in a cream Chanel Jumpsuit and black Chanel cardigan, the two cut extremely slender figures on the red carpet.
Earlier this week, Keira’s mother - and Edge Of Love scribe - Sharman MacDonald hit back at persistent rumours about her “anorexic” daughter, likening the media to “playground bullies”.
"She's always been thin. She's her daddy's daughter, with his long body," she told a UK newspaper.
"It's a playground situation that we're looking at with the press - it's a form of bullying - but what can we do?"

Primus is all around Les Claypool; there isn't a bit on any of their records where his bass isn't the independent focal point of the medicine, with his vocals playacting as a gonzo sideshow. Which isn't to refuse guitar player Larry LaLonde or drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander whatever course credit; no drummer could thread in and around Claypool's convoluted patterns as effortlessly as Alexander, and few guitarists would volitionally force the spot away, like LaLonde does, exactly to can raise a incessant spiral of avant-noise. All of this means that they ar miles aside from being another punk-funk combo like the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Claypool whitethorn smacking and pop his bass, but there is small funk in the regular recurrence he and Alexander lay down. Instead, they're a post-punk Rush spiked with the sensitiveness and humor of Frank Zappa. Primus' songs ar secondary to showcasing their instrumental prowess. Their music is wilfully weird and experimental, however it's not alienating; the band was capable to turn their goofy outlandishness into pop stardom. At number one, the band was purely an underground phenomenon, just in the age between their third and fourth albums, their cult grew apace. 1991's Sailing the Seas of Cheese went gold shortly before the tone ending of Pork barrel Soda. By the time of the album's 1993 tone ending, Primus had sufficiency devoted fans to make Pork Soda debut in the Top Ten. After touring for a year -- including a headlining bit on Lollapalooza 1993 -- Claypool revived his Prawn Song record label in 1994 and released a reunion track record by Primus' original lineup under the make Sausage. In the summer of 1995, Primus released their fifth album, Tales From the Punch Bowl. It was some other winner, going gold ahead the final stage of the year. In the summer of 1996, Primus proclaimed they were parting slipway with their drummer, Tim Alexander. He was replaced by Brian "Genius" Mantia, wHO made his debut on The Brown Album, which was released in the summer of 1997. The covers EP Rhinoplasty followed in 1998, and a year later on, Primus returned with Antipop. Antipop was a divergence from premature Primus albums, as dissimilar producers were used on almost each track (including such notables as Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Tom Waits, South Park creator Matt Stone, and old Police drummer Stewart Copeland) and it featured such guest artists as Metallica's James Hetfield and old Faith No More guitar player Jim Martin. After a supporting hitch clothed up in 2000, Mantia leftfield the band to get together Guns N' Roses. Claypool talked around reuniting with former drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander in the press, just shortly later on announced that Primus was departure on indefinite respite. During the ensuing go against, Claypool focussed on recording the debut album by his english see, Oyster Head (wHO also included Copeland and Phish guitar player Trey Anastasio), as well as releasing his two-way solo field day, Live Frogs: Set 1 and Set 2.

Father of Malawian boy backs Madonna adoption bid
LIPUNGA, Malawi (Reuters) - The father of a Malawian child that Madonna wants to adopt said on Monday he supported her case but wanted the U.S. popstar to bring his boy home for visits.
Madonna is expected to appear in a Malawian court on Thursday for what is expected to be a final and favorable ruling on whether she can adopt David Banda. She is due to arrive in the impoverished southern African country on Tuesday.
The pop diva began adoption proceedings in 2006 and the two-year-old has been living with her and her film director husband Guy Ritchie in their London home since then.
The adoption has been controversial, with critics accusing the government of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children in Malawi, which has been ravaged by an AIDS epidemic leaving more than one million orphans.
Malawi's government has recommended that its High Court approve Madonna's adoption of the child.
"I have no problem with the government's recommendation to allow Madonna to get the child. This is what I wanted, that Madonna should keep the child," the boy's father, Yohane Banda, told Reuters Television in an interview.
One of Malawi's fiercest critics of Madonna's adoption bid, the Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), said on Monday it was no longer interested in pursuing the case, removing another obstacle.
"It will be as a waste of time and resources to continue pursuing the case. Malawi has more pressing issues than Madonna," HRCC chairman Udule Mwakasungura told Reuters.
