Sienna Isn't One of Yinz*
Sienna Miller is in Pittsburgh filming for a movie called ... wait for it ... "Mysteries of Pittsburgh." This is a shame, as Sienna apparently hates Pittsburgh, and bitched about such in Rolling Stone:

Can you believe this is my life? Will you pity me when you're back in your funky New York apartment and I'm still in Pittsburgh? I need to get more glamorous films.

She also referred to the city as "Shitsburgh", earning her the envy of all four third-grade boys in the city who hadn't come up with that one yet.

When the news broke, she apologized, claimed the quote was taken out of context and she really liked Pittsburgh, it was all fun and shiny, and also, her dad was totally from Meadville, yay, Pittsburgh! (Meadville: in Erie.) Nobody seems to be buying it. [info]cleolinda provided the spiffy link for Yahoo's write-up.

[info]pittsburgh wants to throw down, biotch! Or at least [info]kpup does. Let's send e-mail! Let's find out where she's staying and harass her! Let's be creepy and stalkery! Let's ... hang on, [info]kpup might not even be FROM Pittsburgh, wtf?

[info]ohnotheydidnt gets in on it - mostly discussing whether or not Pittsburgh sucks, whether Pittsburghers should care if Sienna dissed them, and so on. The same discussion - "Pittsburgh sucks!" "No, you suck!" "You're just a celebrity whore!" "You're a small-time pissant!" "Learn to spell!" - is going on at Sienna-Miller.org, her spiffy blog. Perez Hilton weighed in twice, possibly just so she (whoops, he, thanks [info]wtf) could call Sienna a slut.

My favorite bit is that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's headline for the story was:

Semi-Famous Actress Dumps on the 'Burgh

Ooooh, burn. See, Sienna? That was a way better diss than yours. Next time, try harder.

ETA: link added above for Yahoo's write-up on the diss and apology (thanks, [info]cleolinda!). Also, for those of you into Wiki wank, check the recent edits for her page ... go past the latest "she's a twat" ones and you can find some real gems.

*Yinz = local slang for you-plural, a sad bastardization of what was once presumably "you ones" or something of the like.</smal

Outstanding. She's apologized now, by the way:

Damn, Yahoo's got to be hating on the 'Burgh, too.

I'll add the link, thanks! There's also some really fun Wiki vandalization that was going on that I need to toss in. Not the most recent changes, which are just boring "she's a twat" stuff, but earlier today, there was all kinds of fun stuff.

I thought it was 'yunz'? But then, I'm only tangentially Pittsburgh (I'm from Greensburg) so perhaps I'm hearing a bastardized bastardization?

Um, I think I was going to say something useful but it got lost in images of whipping Sienna with a wet Terrible Towel.

I am trying to imagine a more obscene example of entitlement bitchery than a celebrity whining, "Can you believe this is my life?" when half the world is hungry.

I am failing.

I'm sorry, I'm unable to pay attention to the wank as I am too shocked to find out that there are other people in the world besides my weird relatives from Missouri who say "yinz" (or some approximation thereof).

It took me a minute to recognize it, though, as I've always mentally parsed it as "you-ens" because... okay, well, I'm not really sure why, but when people ask my family members what in the hell my weird relatives from Missouri are attempting to say, that's always how it comes out when anyone tries to repeat it slowly.

I'm most familiar with Sienna as a regular on Go Fug Yourself.

Oh, and she's the bony twat getting in my way of banging Jude Law.

Hee! I was hoping someone would write this up! I ♥ my wanky hometown.

I'm not a Sienna Miller fan, but I think [info]kpup has some anger management issues. Also, her hotel isn't hard to figure out; I'd be really surprised if she's not staying at the William Penn

Also, I think everyone gets so defensive because most people still see Pittsburgh as being blackened and full of still steel mills. Everyone always tells me that they're really shocked there isn't smoke everywhere.

Not to be picky, but Perez Hilton is a he, not a she.

Although he's WAY cattier than any girl I know, so in the end it doesn't really matter.

As for the topic at hand, LOL. Nice try at being somebody besides "that chick that Jude Law cheated on."

I'm just excited they're making The Mysteries of Pittsburgh into a movie. I love Michael Chabon so much that when I recently reorganized my book shelves he was moved into a place of honor right below the Discworld shelf, next to my Gaiman books. That's prime real estate in my shelving system.

And now that I've embarassed myself by admitting what a nerd I am, I am off to go find the book and reread it.

My favourite part is the backtracking. I'm still amazed that anyone's interested in Sienna Miller, but that is the worst apology ever, as she doesn't even acknowledge what she said. "OMG pity me I'm stuck in a crappy backwater!" != "What I meant was I haven't seen the whole city but I really like what I've seen."

Heh...so Sienna Miller hates Pittsburgh. Her and probably about half of the people who've ever been there (myself included). And "Shitsburgh" is a fairly common saying among Pennsyltuckians.

I do like those sandwiches with the fries on them, though. And the Carnegie Museum. Those were the high points of my visits to Pittsburgh.
