Just on the strength of the abovesaid Keen Eddie, she can do no wrong in my book. That was a series Foxed before its time.
Plus, she’s, you know, hot.
She was a fairly prominent character in one of the books about punk that I’ve read.
She deserves better than to be compared to Paris Hilton. She hung out with a lot of interesting people and seems to have been an interesting person herself. According to the Wikipedia link the song “Femme Fatale” is about her.
Out of all of Andy Warhol’s superstars, she seems to be one of the more better known ones. At least she’s one of the few I’ve heard of.
I always wonder when I read something like this what would possess someone to say those things.
Do you think the interviewer has a few drinks with them and they forget they are being interviewed? Does the interviewer make some remarks and the star tries to be cool and goes along with it?
I’m sure she’s no mental giant, but I doubt if she’s an idiot. It’s just sort of mind boggling that’s she’d be so stupid. She’s done PR for other films before.
Just came in here to reply “No.” Makes Paris Hilton look utterly charming.
Really, who gives a shit other than some yokels in Pittsburgh? She’s a good actress. Whatever she may or may not have said in Rolling Stone (anyone got some actual quotes?) or did that got an obscure Tavern some great publicity, I’ll be looking forward to whatever movies she’s in.
Also the excellent song by The Cult - Edie (Ciao Baby)
Yeah, it really does.

NOBODY makes Paris Hilton look utterly charming, and Hilton has no redeeming qualities, such as being a talented actress. And beautiful (since I think PH is butt-ugly). And smart enough to walk and chew gum at the same time.
It is for me. She could be Her Royal Highness Queen of Bitches in real life (not that I think so), but in Casanova she was sparkling, charming, smart and funny. Nice to see that someone in the universe besides me saw that movie.
Odd about that, isn’t it? I wonder if some of those people vacation in America, because they know they’re not going to be bothered here. Isn’t Sienna American?
She is, but she spends most of her time in Europe, because apparently for Sienna, not being recognized is unbearable.
She may or may not be a decent actress. Even if she is, she’s still a yapping famewhore, primarily known for being Jude Law’s badly dressed arm candy.
By people who pay more attention to tabloid fodder than movies. I pay more attention to movies. I forgot she was also in the very good Layer Cake too.
I’ve never gone looking for Sienna Miller photos before, but I just did. There are a bunch on this page and most of her outfits are quite cute.
Just a note: I read somewhere that her mom is a highly-respected acting coach in the UK. She, at various points, has been compared to Kate Winslet, who also comes from an acting family. (sorry can’t find the cite).
She may have said some stupid stuff and clearly the whole Jude Law thing comes across poorly, but she is more than a twit like Paris Hilton and very different from Edie Sedgwick…

I am quite indifferent - I thought she was attractive in her 30 seconds or so of screen time in the movie Layer Cake - but thought these tidbits might add to the thread…
Admittedly, I am a big fan of Heather and Jessica, but Ms. Millers’ regular appearances on Go Fug Yourself are the only thing I know her from. Her and the Peldons. Who is Courtney Peldon and why does she dress so badly?
So yeah, Sienna Miller: not a big star to me.
Plus, Pittsburgh is a very nice city.
I tend to lump people like Sienna Miller and the Peldons into roughly the same category: People who are known for who they are, not for anything they’ve done. I’ve heard of both only because of the fact that they live to be in public places.

Well, I pay little attention to tabloid fodder, but admittedly less to Sienna Miller’s movies. So regarding her acting abilities, I’ll defer to you and the seventeen other people who saw Layer Cake.
No, they aren’t. She looks as though she broke into Kate Moss’s house, the brown Olsen’s house, and Tara Reid’s house, raided their closets in the dark, and then threw the ill-gotten rags over her body at random.
Just wanted to mention that there are some borderline NSFW photos on the linked page.
That’s all.
Heh, they definitely do. I was visiting Seattle with a couple of English girls and they absolutely freaked out because they ran into Wayne Rooney in a shop.
For good reason. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board uses the State Police to check that bars are not serving underaged people. They will even set up stings by sending underaged people into bars. If the underaged person gets served, whammo. The server can personally receive a large fine ($3000, IIRC) and the bar can lose their liquor license. I was in a bar when such a sting happened last week.
I think the bar staff’s motivation was more CYA rather than “Neener, neener, neener.”
We call them “yinzers”.
I’d never heard of her until the Shittsburgh incident. And now I hate her. She ain’t all that attractive anyways.
WHo the hell is Wayne Rooney? (looking at link) He plays football? Never heard of him. Oh, I guess that’s really “soccer” that he plays. In that case, so what?
