"Shocking!"Pirates of the Caribbean" heroes and heroines Matthew Horner and Keira Knightley are in love because of the play, and are currently caught shopping together, Matthew Horner buys a Tiffany black pearl necklace and gives it to Keira Knightley as a token of love......"
Yahoo Entertainment was the first to poke out the news, and it was accompanied by a large number of photos of Matthew and Keira Knightley shopping intimately.
Nowadays, the Internet is very responsive, far more than traditional newspapers and magazines, and a little later, another website published photos taken by other paparazzi and detailed that the characters in Matthew and Keira Knightley's films are romantic relationships and the like.
In the following period, the scandal about Matthew and Keira Knightley, along with the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", also continued to appear in newspapers and on the Internet, but the two never responded positively, even if they participated in the announcement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" together, they also said that the two were very good friends according to the previously set caliber.
In April, Matthew not only cooperated with various publicity and hype, but also went to meet his lawyer Wilson, and then Wilson filed a tax return for him on time.
As a country of ten thousand taxes, Lao Mei is very troublesome to file taxes, and the tax filing system and April 15 every year, which is also known as Tax. Day is simply notorious, everyone shouts and beats, not to mention outsiders like Matthew, and the vast majority of Americans don't understand, and they rely on professionals very much in this regard.
Intuit, the IRS's financial software provider, is said to spend a lot of money every year lobbying in Washington to block the promotion of a simple tax filing process......
Lao Mei's personal income tax is declared on an annual basis, under normal circumstances, April 15 of each year is the last declaration date of the previous year, and personal income tax accounts for more than half of the tax revenue of Lao Mei.
However, there are also a series of policies such as consumption tax rebates.
Anyway, Matthew can't figure it out, and this aspect is left to the professionals.
In addition, most Hollywood stars will legally avoid taxes, and the accountant hired by Matthew is also in talks with his agent Helen Herman, and the most effective way is to establish a charitable foundation, but it will need to wait until he has become more famous.
Hollywood crews are different from those on the other side of the Pacific, and the remuneration of many stars on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is the after-tax income after the crew pays personal income tax on behalf of the crew.
This also has the advantage that Hollywood actors are paid well, but the proportion of the total production budget can be controlled within a reasonable range, so that the crew has more money to invest in the actual production.
As the time gradually enters May, another summer season in the North American film market has kicked off, all kinds of movie-related news are flooded with the Internet, newspapers and magazines, and the scandal between Matthew and Keira Knightley has also progressed to a new stage.
In the latest set of photos released by Yahoo Entertainment, the two went to watch "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" together, and when they came out, they held hands and seemed to be in a relationship.
Entertainment gossip scandals were originally an important part of the ordinary public's spare time, and the two gradually attracted the attention of many people.
Even Johnny Depp mentioned Matthew and Keira Knightley in an interview.
"Matthew and Kayla had a very good relationship when they were on the set. Johnny Depp said in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, "Isn't it appropriate for the two of them to come together? ”
On another picturesque afternoon, Matthew walked into the Los Angeles Lakers' Staples Arena with Keira Knightley to watch the Lakers take on the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
A week before the game, Helen Herman was able to get a ticket to the Staples Arena where Hollywood stars often sit, an area that cameras focus on when the game is suspended, and as an NBA powerhouse in Los Angeles, the Lakers have a large number of Hollywood star fans.
Matthew and Keira Knightley sat in the second row, the seats next to them were temporarily empty, but less than ten seats to the left, Matthew saw a number of famous people.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was not yet lucky enough to sink the Titanic, was having an intimate conversation with his girlfriend Gisele Bonson, and in front of him was Denzel Washington, who had just won the Oscar, and not far away was Jack Nicholson, who was always wearing a pair of sunglasses, and the two blondes sitting next to each other seemed to be Drew Barricel and Cameron Diaz......
Looking around, Matthew could only sigh secretly, he and Keira Knightley could be regarded as unfamous little actors.
However, this is also expected, because the two of them appear here, just to come to rub the heat, the more big-name stars, the more times the camera will be given here during the game and live broadcast.
The recent scandal between him and Keira Knightley is quite hot because of the relationship between Disney and the crew behind the scenes, and it will definitely create a lot of news afterwards.
The players on the court were warming up, and the only people Matthew knew were Big Shark O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, who can be seen in Los Angeles newspapers these days.
As for the Spurs, he didn't know any.
"Do you know basketball?" asked Keira Knightley next to her.
"I don't know too much. Matthew shook his head and pointed to the line on the court, "I know that a goal outside the line counts as three points, and inside the line it counts as two points." ”
Keira Knightley pouted, "I know that, too." ”
Both of them are standard basketball blind, and they come to the court to rub the heat.
"Hello, can I get there?"
A crisp-sounding girl's voice rang out from next to Matthew, who quickly shrank back, and Keira Knightley also retracted her legs.
Although this is the VIP seat of the stadium and the seats are relatively spacious, there are not many ways to enter and exit.
"Thank you. ”
The girl thanked her and walked over to Matthew and Keira Knightley and took a seat next to Keira Knightley.
Matthew naturally glanced over there, the girl was wearing slim jeans and a white T-shirt, outlining a tall and sexy figure, and under her long brown hair, there was a sweet and pleasant face, her skin was not white, it was a mixed-race chocolate color.
This girl looks a little familiar, Matthew is sure that she has seen it in a certain movie, but she should not be a first-line star, otherwise she would not even remember the name.
The girl was very pretty, and Keira Knightley also looked at it a few more times.
Probably noticing Keira Knightley, the Chocolate Girl also looked over here, and after recognizing Keira Knightley's face, she took the initiative to say, "You are ...... Keira Knightley?"
"yes. Keira Knightley responded politely with the demeanor of an Englishman, "Hello, I'm Keira Knightley." ”
Compared to Keira Knightley, the Chocolate Girl appeared more enthusiastic and also introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Jessica Alba. ”
With that said, she looked to the other side of Keira Knightley, and Matthew was clearly with Keira Knightley.
Keira Knightley added, "This is Matthew Horner, my friend. ”
"Hello. Matthew took the initiative to reach over, and Jessica Alba gently shook his hand, "Hello, I've seen your "Scorpion King", a very wonderful film. ”
Matthew didn't know what movies she had already acted in, so he had to say, "Thank you." ”
The name Jessica Alba reminded him a little bit, as if in the "Fantastic Four" he once watched, the invisible woman was played by Jessica Alba.
He really didn't remember her other works.
The game started quickly, and Matthew watched for a while, and then turned his attention to Keira Knightley and Jessica Alba, the two girls had been chatting, to be exact, Jessica Alba, who was a Lakers fan, explaining some of the rules of basketball for Keira Knightley in conjunction with the situation on the court.
When Keira Knightley sees the camera camera turning, she will also deliberately whisper a few words to Matthew, showing a very intimate appearance.
"Are you dating?" Jessica Alba asked Keira Knightley curiously, "A lot of media has been stirring up your scandals lately. ”
Keira Knightley glanced at Matthew, Matthew gave her a look, and Keira Knightley just smiled at Jessica Alba and didn't say anything.
Matthew is still more cautious, who knows who Jessica Alba is?
Disney Studios, the Pirates of the Caribbean crew and their agency have set plans for the official release of the show, and he and Keira Knightley will walk the red carpet of Disney's animated blockbuster "Finding Nemo" together at the end of May, the week after that.
To be exact, they're going to rub off on the heat of Pixar Studios.
Just like the popularity of the Los Angeles Lakers today, the scandals between Matthew and Keira Knightley are not as simple as pressing the road to go shopping and eating and drinking, so that the media and the public will soon get bored.
Throughout the game, in addition to showing affection with Keira Knightley, Matthew's energy was not focused on watching the game at all, and after the whole game, he also watched the score on the big screen before he knew that the Los Angeles Lakers lost.
Unlike Jessica Alba, a frustrated Lakers fan, Matthew and Keira Knightley left the arena as soon as the game was over, ready to go to the next hot spot.
However, before the hot spot, he received a script sent by Sean Daniel to the agency.
