Why is it that the parents of famous celebrities feel the need to litter the earth with their pet projects and artistic endeavors? Why don't they just let their spawn buy them houses and spare the rest of us their over-inflated sense of purpose for having birthed such wonderful entertainers? We're sick of all celeb parents, but Keira Knightley's mum may cause the most wrath. Is Keira Knightley even A-list enough to spread her fame on to her family tree? We think she best be hording that shit for herself.
Following up such daring feats of spending their kid's money as Britney Spears's dad's ice cream parlor Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's dad's creepy existence, Keira's mom, Sharman MacDonald, has written a play and would love for her daughter to star in it–as long as it wouldn't ruin the money train's career. MacDonald said, "I always assume the worst, so I don't want anybody blaming themselves for anything that happens to any of my work." She wrote a crappy play and is worried that it will fail, so she wants her mega-star offspring to star in order to save the suckfest, but if it sucks too much it may end Keira's career and stop the cash flow. Quite the Catch-22. We think it's in Keira's best interest to leave Mom to bomb on her own. Look what happened to poor BeyoncÈ when her mom fancied herself a fashion designer and dressed up the poor girl in gold lamÈ.
