I’m not really sure what I think about this strange “Diva Alert” report from Star Magazine. Allegedly, Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson are up for two roles in The Emperor’s Children, a film about blah, blah, pre-9/11 New York. Apparently, they’ve both been acting like crazy divas about their wardrobes and shoot dates and stuff. The weird thing is that neither has actually signed on to the film, which by the looks of IMDB, is still in the very early stages of pre-production. So what is there to bicker about? I don’t get it.
Have they gone diva? Sources from the upcoming flick The Emperor’s Children – about a group of New Yorkers turning 30 just before 9/11 – tell Star about the outrageous demands of Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, who are negotiating for roles in the film.
“These two are bickering about everything from wardrobe to their character to shoot dates,” a source tells Star. “Normally ScarJo and Keira are so easy to work with, but they can’t seem to agree on anything! I think they’re very competitive with each other, and they want to see who gets more.”
It’s so bad that costar Robert Redford is read to step in and referee, the source adds. “Robert’s never seen behavior like this before – and he’s been around forever!”

Meh. I wonder what the hell caused such a random and easily fact-checked report? As far as I know, ScarJo is still on Broadway doing a play, and Keira is supposed to be one of the most pleasant and down-to-earth actresses out there. I have no idea what’s going on. But I liked the Robert Redford shout-out. We need more Redford stories.

I love Scarlett and Keira and think they’re both gorgeous… but what’s up with that weird photo? I think it’s really unflattering for both of them
That’s Scarlett before she went all Hollywood skinny.
I read somewhere that for years Robert Redford paid his publicist to keep his name out of the papers.
There is no way Robert Redford would put up with two divas!! If this nonsense were true, neither Scarlett nor Kiera would be in this, or any other, film!!
I also don’t believe it because neither woman has had a hit movie in a dogs age!! No way they would be having diva fits with their box office records. With all the young actresses around these days, it would be really easy to sign up two other actresses. I don’t believe any of this.
And, Kate, that photo is from Vanity Fair. I’m probably wrong but I believe it was from one of those “Young Hollywood” covers from a few years ago. And, yes, they do look ridiculous!!
this story reminds me of a blind story posted some weeks ago on another site about one actress getting a part then getting angry that another big actress was signed on. but as neither is signed on i guess it dont count.
What a really awful photo.
I don’t know if it was a Young Hollywood issue, as originally there were only supposed to be three actresses on the cover. That’s the incident in which Rachel McAdams refused to drop trou, I’ve always respected that move.
They’re both plastic surgery cases and their childhood pictures prove it. See Knightly had her over done bridge on her nose built up. Good. She needed it.
ThunderC*nt, if child hood pictures were proof I’m a definite case of plastic surgery but I haven’t had any.

No you are not. You aren’t in this league, I hope.
Oyy I know KK is underweight and Scarjo is curvy which I admire, but this photo makes KK look like she has pancake flappy boobs and Scarjo looks like the tubby older sister. Robert Redford just seems like a sweetie, wish he’d sundance right over to my house for a beer.
I so hate Keira’s expression in this photo. She often makes this face with her nostrils pinched and her lips pouting that distorts her natural beauty.
Keira’s expression leaves alot to be desired but her body and acting are rockin, well at least her body and accent are, loved her in Domino.
@Dan, yeah, I remember that BI and I thought the same thing.
Sorry to state the obvious, but that picture is sooo creepy.
I love Keira ! she’s great and everything she does. An i liked her in that picture …she has so nice abdominal muscles!
and for God’s sake she’s not surgery!
her nose is the same nose she had when she was a child …..you know people change too!!!!!!!!
I have always loved Scarlett, I think she is a marvalous actress, but I personally *like* Keira much more. She’s said to be easy going and fun with, in contrary to Scalett, who’s been acting like a diva for many, many times before. I’ve heard that THIS is her fault, and I honestly believe that.

I’m impressed, I need to say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the difficulty is something that not enough persons are talking intelligently about. I’m very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing relating to this.
