It Would Be Luverly

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley is getting plenty of props (and buzz) for refusing to be genetically modified on the screen for her upcoming film, "The Duchess." Could she be more open to being transformed from flower girl to upper-class lass for a remake of "My Fair Lady"?

Indeed, Guv'nor! Knightley, who spiked 390% in Search over the last seven days, is in talks for the film's leading role. The story certainly has a history. It's a classic Greek myth "Pygmalion and Galatea," turned George Bernard Shaw play "Pygmalion," turned musical "My Fair Lady," turned movie-musical with Audrey Hepburn, and now it is being updated for the screen again.

Apparently, some plots never get old.

Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, up 3,410%, gives the film serious chops. She has signed on to pen the screenplay (probably with an actual pen, since she reportedly does not use a computer).

The real question then for Knightley fans is, can she sing?
