Sienna Miller Apologizes For Insulting Pittsburgh

(October 6, 2006) — In the latest edition of Rolling Stone magazine, on newsstands now, actress Sienna Miller called the city of Pittsburgh (where she’s currently shooting the film adaptation of Michael Chabon’s “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh”) , “Sh–sburgh.”

Miller continued, “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.”

The actress has now issued the following statement through her publicist:

“I want to apologise for my comments which seem to have been misconstrued and taken out of context. I was referring to the fact that we are shooting almost all night shoots on this film and none of us have had an opportunity to fully explore the city. What I have seen of it is beautiful. I came once before to visit the Andy Warhol museum whilst researching a film and found both the city and it’s inhabitants warm and gracious. My father is from Meadville and is in town to show me round this weekend. I sincerely apologise and hope people realise that conversations can be easily manipulated in print.”
