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.
cleolinda provided the spiffy link for Yahoo's write-up.
pittsburgh wants to throw down, biotch! Or at least
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,
kpup might not even be FROM Pittsburgh, wtf?
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
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,
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
