Sultry Keira Knightley is finally back where she belongs ... hitting the high seas as Elizabeth Swann on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3."
Cameras spotted the British beauty catching a ride on a small transfer boat as she made her way to the Black Pearl. The massive floating set is currently drifting off the coast of Long Beach, Calif. Despite roasting in the blazing California sun, Keira was all smiles in her Asian-influenced costume.
The third installment of the Pirates series will attempt to swashbuckle its way past the $1 billion mark set by its predecessor when it hits theaters next May.

A Hollywood screenwriter is suing pretty much everyone involved with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl," the first installment of the now record-breaking "Pirates" series.
Royce Mathew claims in the 80s and 90s, he "created and wrote a number of original works including drawings, screenplays, outlines, blueprints, storyboards and other original materials...which he generally entitled "SNPM," standing for 'Super Natural Pirate Movie.'"
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ and filed in United States District Court, Central District of California, Royce alleges he created "various drawings depicting his pirate ship, which he named the Black Pearl, and an original design for a 'medallion,' both of which are are central elements of his screenplay." Royce says he registered the drawings and his screenplay with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Royce says the screenplay contained a blacksmith/swordsman named Will Turner, an eccentric pirate captain and a unique cursed crew whose curse was revealed only in the moonlight. Royce claims the daughter of a British governor named Elizabeth falls in love with Will Turner. In "Pirates of the Caribbean," Orlando Bloom plays Will Turner and Keira Knightley plays Elizabeth Swann, who falls in love with Will Turner.

Captain Jack Sparrow and his band of scurvy dogs sailed into theatres this weekend and invaded the box office for a record $132 million -- even if they didn't manage to plunder many plaudits from the critics.
In fact, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" proved once again this summer that taking a beating from the critics only heightens the chance that a movie's going to open big. For instance, one of moviedom's most influential critics, Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum, put the smackdown on "Pirates," calling it "a hellish contraption into which a ticket holder is strapped, overstimulated but unsatisfied, and unable to disengage until the operator releases the restraining harness." Schwarzbaum gave the film a dismal D+ -- and look what happened.

Keira Knightley tried to put rumors of an eating disorder to rest at a press conference for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," but her revealing dress at the premiere the night before may suggest otherwise.
The stunning star says allegations of an eating disorder are outrageous. "It was really weird, they (the press) said that to me yesterday, they went 'how does it feel to be called anorexic?' I had no idea that I was, I can safely say that I am not."

In "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" Johnny and Keira's characters share a passionate kiss, but for one of them the experience was "unbelievably awkward."
Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, believes any film kiss is bound to be uncomfortable to shoot but this one more than most.
"Any kind of scene like that whenever you're doing that sort of thing, it's always unbelievably awkward especially having met Keira when she was 17 years old," he says, "but regardless of that it's always awkward so you kind of just make light of it; she was a good sport and we just kid of did what we had to do, that's the gig."
Of course Keira was a good sport, considering most 21 year-old women like her would love to be in the same situation.
"I couldn't ask for a better kissing scene with Johnny Depp actually, I think my 14 year-old self was yelping with pleasure," says Knightley of the experience. "It was fantastic! What more can a girl ask for? I've got Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom and I get to kiss both of them. It's wonderful!"
And Knightley reveals that this lip-lock may not interfere with the relationship between Elizabeth Swann and Orlando's Will Turner, adding "it's not an ordinary kiss, it's a kiss with a twist, which is great."
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" opens in theaters July 7th.

The premiere of the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" hit the Magic Kingdom this year with an arrival line that stretched from the entrance of the park to the newly renovated ride which inspired the film.
Of course, this would be no celebration without Captain Jack Sparrow and he didn't disappoint. Johnny Depp, who came solo to the premiere, was amazed by the number of young fans who lined the arrival line, "It's always kind of overwhelming but it's also nice to meet these people. They came out to support us. It's very touching."
