Celebrity double take for Condé Nast

So there is Keira Knightley looking sultry in pink ruffles on the September cover of Condé Nast's magazine for toffs, Tatler: "What frightens her about being famous... ." Turn now to Condé Nast stablemate Glamour and its September cover girl - Keira Knightley!: "My weight, Sienna & drunken auditions." Cue a look of horror normally reserved for two debutantes simultaneously entering the ballroom in the same frock. How could Condé Nast managing director Nicholas Coleridge have tolerated such a faux pas? Monkey thinks a spot of arm wrestling between Glamour editor Jo Elvin and Tatler editor Georgie Greig to decide who held sway must have ended in a draw. Monkey's pal at Condé Nast admits it is "rare" for the same celeb to grace the cover of two of the company's mags during the same month, but denies any discord between editors and says Coleridge was unpeturbed. "He just allows the magazines to make their cover choices independently," the insider said. So that's alright then.
