There is no way in hell those are her boobs; at first I thought ‘well maybe it was a pregnancy shot’, 'cause we know what happens to mams then! But then I saw the side-by-side image and…no. Just no way. Don’t need in-depth analysis for that; those simply are not hers. They don’t even look like implants; they look like real, big boobs. Which she doesn’t have and could not fake. Just…no way. And I’m female, if that matters. I know boobs! ETA: Let me add that even the boob part of the picture looks photoshopped in itself; the sides don’t match the tops, if that makes sense. It looks as if even the boobs had a boob job. =p ---

> [@choie](#): > > Yep, I’m with **cmyk**. Willing to bet that that picture (the head, at any rate) is actually a graft from a photo taken when KK [made this red carpet pose](http://www.keiraknightley.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/11926/size/big/cat/903) at the _Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest_ premiere. Obviously the 'shop wasn’t taken from this precise photo, but clearly another photographer shot her from a slightly different angle. Note the same expression, make-up, hair-style/highlights, even how the hair falls against her face (and hint of earrings). > > [Here’s another shot probably taken moments later/earlier that same night](http://www.keiraknightley.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/11774/cat/903) that shows just how much a match the hair is – no way this is coincidental. > > [Here, I’ve made a composite of both shots.](http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx51/choie_album/keira_compare.jpg) Come _on_. 🙂 Nice find!! That clinches it for me. The smoking gun. I agree 100% with you that the picture you found isn’t the _exact_ same one used for her face, but definitely one used from that same night/event, probably taken moments later. Then composited and retouched a bit to match and blend. Now… if someone can find the other half… whose boobs are those? 😉 (I did try doing a google search for “woman yellow black tie”, but my kids were around, and had to cut that one short! I might have a quick look on stock photo sites too… but my google-fu isn’t very strong. Any takers? > [@Jophiel](#): > > It’s an [old internet meme](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-looks-shopped). Yeh, I’ve lol’d over that one many times, that’s why I, at first, thought he was mocking me… but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. ---

The Fake Detective use to be very active in debunking fake celebrity nudes and semi-nudes. His web site is still up, but sadly he’s semi retired. It’s been quite awhile since he updated. A shame because he was active over ten years. He had one of the sharpest eyes I’ve ever seen. Some of the pictures he debunked had been floating on the Internet for 20 years. These days there’s so much professional fakery. FHM and other mags are notorious for photoshopping their covers. Changing cleavage, body shapes, jewelry etc. I don’t even bother buying mags like that anymore because it’s not much more than a digital painting. ---

Boobs, hell…those aren’t even her _collarbones_! She’s a stunningly beautiful women, but/and she’s skinny. No harm in that - she’s plenty strong and healthy - it’s just another form of beauty. But it does preclude busty cleavage shots. ---
