Oscar-nominee Keira Knightley has a new brand image — one where she’s raising awareness about human rights in an Amnesty International public announcement campaign.
Knightley recently posed for the ad, holding a banner reading “Protect The Human” to mark the 60th anniversary of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
“I wanted to be part of this film for Amnesty to help raise awareness of the UDHR and to help them, in a small way, to campaign against the abuses of human rights that are still happening every day,” said the 23-year-old British star. “It seems that ‘human rights’ has become a bit of a loaded term in this country, but if you look at the declaration that countries made 60 years ago, it just sets out a series of basic rules about how people should treat each other. The UDHR is something that everyone should be aware of and be proud of as a statement of our common humanity.”
Knightley thus joins celebrities such as Minnie Driver and Erin O’Connor, who have made short films for Amnesty.
The Atonement star, who has received critical praise for her role as Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, in The Duchess, will be seen in Joshua Stern’s King Lear starring as Cordelia next year.
Meanwhile, Forbes recently claimed Knightley to be the second highest paid actress in Hollywood (behind Cameron Diaz), having allegedly earned $32 million in 2007.

Reality TV star Khloe Kimdarshian probably got tired of basking in big sis Kim’s glory and decided to bare herself — literally.
Khloe, who has now joined the list of celebrities who support PETA by posing nude in their ant-fur campaigns, was apparently shocked when she saw a PETA footage of animal abuse.
“The videos are so graphic but they are so necessary for people to watch,” said the 24-year-old buxom brunette. “I’m so grateful that I did get the opportunity to see them. I had no idea that’s how these animals are treated.”
Khloe said she agreed to pose naked to let the world know know that she’s serious about the fur campaign and that she wanted to chip in for the cause.
Khloe invited her local fans to come out and support her at the live unveiling of Khloe’s ad in Los Angeles:

Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston shows how much she loves the Brooks Brothers tie by wearing only that on the cover of January 2009 issue of GQ.
She looks quite made-for-GQ-cover, and quite at ease showing off sun kissed body at her age (come Feb 11, 2009, she’ll be 40).
“I still can’t wrap my head around how old I’m going to be,” she says. “I feel more comfortable today than I ever did in my twenties or early thirties. I’m healthier. I’m more at peace in my mind and with my body.”
Was she scared during the bold photo shoot? Apparently not. “Oddly enough, I don’t know why, but no!” Jen told E! News at the premiere of Marley & Me. “It took 39 years but….yeah!”

English television presenter Konnie Huq has appeared in a new video campaign promoting Blu-ray, in an obvious attempt to demystify the technology to every Tom, Dick and Blue Peter.
Kanak “Konnie” Huq , 33, says “You may have a HD TV, but without high definition content, you are just watching standard-quality pictures.”
Well, after watching this video, I guess I now understand what’s all the fuss about, but still I won’t buy it. At least not until the global economy turns around in 2050. How about you?

Former NFL cheerleader Bonnie-Jill Laflin obviously thinks taking off her shirt will help PETA’s new campaign ‘Bank On Your Health, Go Vegetarian’.
At this crucial time of a global economy slowdown, when top-notch executives of international companies are straightening their neckties to try and look decent, Bonnie-Jill Laflin, 32, thinks the focus ought to be on eating vegetarian. Maybe she has a point.
Or a couple:
