Keira Knightley released a topless photo untouched by Photoshop to show that she isn’t perfect and make a case for all women to love their bodies.

We also get into the return of The Newsroom and whether the writing of Aaron Sorkin and Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is limited because it features several characters that sound exactly like their creators mouthing off to one another.

That picture of Knightley was published in a magazine several months ago along with many others. It wasn’t part of any campaign or trying to make a case for anything.

It’s others who have – with a few months of delay – picked the story and made it fit their agendas.
