Sienna Miller in The Hours' Video: Love It or Leave It?

PopSugarUK — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:00:00 -0800

Sienna Miller stars in The Hours' new video for single "See The Light", which has premiered on their MySpace page ahead of its release date of 8 December. The Hours singer Ant Genn has explained: "It's a song about struggle and addiction and fear and darkness", and Sienna's performance certainly fits that bill, as she rubs her hands in cows' blood after being trapped in a Prada store dressed in a hospital patient's gown. The short film is codirected by Damien Hirst, whose artwork Sienna entered a pre-sale bid for just a few weeks ago. Check out the video below and let me know what you think: do you love it, or would you rather leave it?

Leave it — this is just too weird and OTT for me

Sienna And Balthazar Get a Little Grouchy at The Groucho

PopSugarUK — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty are taking a break from Malibu house-hunting and spending some time together in London at the moment. Last night they popped out for a quiet drink, but unfortunately, as they chose to go to the Groucho — a private members club that celebs often frequent — there were paparazzi outside. Sienna didn't seem too happy about this when she emerged with Balthazar at the end of the evening, and I can imagine having cameras shoved in your face can't be fun, but perhaps the Groucho isn't the best place to go when you're trying to avoid attention?

Sienna Spends Some Time With Supportive Mum

PopSugarUK — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Sienna Miller has had a rough time lately, what with the abusive graffiti spray-painted on the front of her house. Last time I wrote about her you guys were all really measured in your opinions of her and upset that very few people seemed to be pointing fingers at Balthazar in comparison with the amount of venom directed at Sienna.

Now she's back in London and spent some time with her Mum yesterday walking the dogs, and she also talked on her phone to someone that brought a smile to her face. Perhaps she's had some good news about the house in Malibu that she and Balthazar reportedly have their eyes on?

Sienna Picks Up Coffee For Two

PopSugarUK — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Sienna Miller showed off her ridiculously long tanned legs in uber-short shorts as she picked up a couple of coffees and a paper in Malibu yesterday. Later in the day she dined with her new man Balthazar Getty at a Greek restaurant, looking happy and relaxed. Balthazar and his wife had apparently been separated for several months before Sienna came on the scene, but that's not stopping a major dip in her popularity which has led to her new movie's release date being postponed. How do you feel about her new relationship? If you're angry, do you feel more anger towards her or Balthazar, and why is that? I'm curious.

PopSugarUK — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:55:00 -0700

Photos From Sienna And Balthazar's Topless Weekend – The rumour of Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty's affair spread weeks ago, but nothing seals the deal like seeing their topless Italian lovefest. Over the weekend photos of their boat trip hit the internet and now here's even more of the duo. While it's still hard to swallow, the latest on the couple softens the blow just the tiniest amount. Apparently Balthazar quietly split with his wife some time ago and only took up with Sienna three months ago, though the new couple have been living together in LA for at least one. Read more...

Pop Parties: Elle's The Edge Of Love Party

PopSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Last night Fab UK and I had the exciting opportunity to party with the stars of The Edge Of Love at the London screening party hosted by our lovely friends at Elle magazine. As you can imagine it was a really fun evening! Keira Knightley looked the picture of elegance in purple – she spent the evening mingling with all the guests, and laughed it up frequently with her screenwriter Mum Sharman Macdonald. Gorgeous Matthew Rhys was sipping on the champagne and enjoying the party, but he didn't have any embarassing moments like we saw on the red carpet in Edinburgh!

Sienna changed her dress after the screening and turned up to the party in a beautiful white dress – she's so stunning and petite. Elle have an interesting video from the London premiere before the party. The cast and guests all had a blast celebrating the movie, and Fab and I were no exceptions!

Sienna's All Smiles At The Edge Of Edinburgh

PopSugarUK — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Hats off to Sienna Miller who grinned her way down the red carpet at The Edge Of Love world premiere yesterday. The movie opened the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Sienna and her co-stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Rhys were greeted by great Scot Sean Connery! Keira was not so smiley on the red carpet – she showed off that pout she's so well-known for – but the press trail mainly looks like it's been a blast for her and Sienna, as they've giggled their way through quizzes and interviews. It's clear these two Brit talents get on really well, and the chemistry looks set to spill over onscreen when the film's released in the UK this Friday.

To see more photos from the premiere, including an odd intimate moment for Matthew Rhys, and Joely Richardson walking the red carpet – just

Summery Sienna Seeks Solace In The City

PopSugarUK — Sun, 11 May 2008 23:00:00 -0700

Sienna Miller must be loving that she's able to wear her LA wardrobe in London at the moment. She was looking quite the summery lady about town in her white dress and sandals as she did some browsing around the shops with Rhys Ifans. Rhys looks a little hot in that waistcoat and shirt, at least Sienna was keeping responsibly hydrated!

This weekend has had sad moments for Sienna as she attended the funeral of musician Tarka Cordell alongside Kate Moss and Lily Allen. She must be grateful for the support and presence of her man this weekend.

Who Would You Rather Eat Ice Cream With: Kate or Sienna?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 08 May 2008 23:00:00 -0700

It looks like this lovely weather is affecting our UK-based celebs as much as it is us non-famous folk, as a fringe-heavy Kate Moss was spotted buying an ice lolly after her yoga workout yesterday. It reminded me of Sienna Miller enjoying an ice cream in LA last month, and it got me thinking about who I would rather share a cold summery treat with. I would love to know what you guys think, so tell me: would you rather eat ice cream with Kate or Sienna?David Boyes/BigPicturesPhoto.com and Bauer Griffin/BigPicturesPhoto.com

Sienna Smiles At Speed

PopSugarUK — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Running late, Sienna? A jovial Sienna Miller was spotted at LAX yesterday, dashing through the airport after saying goodbye to a friend outside the terminal. After representing us Brits at the US NME Awards and hanging out with Sean Penn in the sun at the amazing Coachella music festival, could it be that Sienna is returning back to Blighty? With the warm weather we've been having in London over the past few days it certainly wouldn't be too much of a shock to the system to travel from LA to the UK. PS, I'm lusting over that pink bag and her lovely leather jacket.

Coachella: Wish I Was There

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:27:42 -0700

As much as I love London, I really wish I could have spent the weekend at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. The lineup was insanely good with everyone from Prince to Kate Nash performing to thousands. As expected, with such an awesome lineup, there were plenty of celebs on and off stage, including Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne who stayed on from the US NME Awards last week – probably tempted by the fact it's a music festival where you don't have to worry about getting trenchfoot.

Cute Hollywood guys Shia LeBeouf and Elijah Wood were also in the audience for the myriad of awesome acts including Sia, Rilo Kiley and Yelle.
