Sienna’s ’green’ claim at premiere - Mar 14 2007
Sienna Miller has said she was doing her best to "go green" by switching off her phone charger and plug sockets and supporting carbon-neutral schemes.
She was showing off her environmental credentials at the UK premiere of Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick.
The movie is a biopic of the 1960s It-girl and fixture on the New York party scene, who died of a drugs overdose in 1971 aged 28.
"I switch off my plug sockets at night and turn my phone charger off. I’m a great supporter of carbon-neutral," the star said.
Sienna - who turned up with her sister Savannah as her date - also admitted to loving her food.
Director George Hickenlooper joked that he had tried to stop Miller tucking into French fries and chocolate during filming but she simply told him to "bugger off".
Sienna said: "He used to steal my bagels. He gave up because I love my food."
The actress said the premiere was "very exciting, it feels like a good party after lots of hard work."
She said she had enjoyed playing her first lead role: "You try to lose yourself in the moment."
And she praised co-star Guy Pearce, who plays iconic pop artist Andy Warhol, saying: "Guy Pearce is a great actor, a great friend and totally embodied Andy."
Sienna’s foot in mouth syndrome - Mar 6 2007
Sienna Miller has apparently explained her tendency to explode in angry rant, saying she suffers from "mild Tourette’s syndrome".
The 25-year-old says she can’t stop "putting a foot in it", saying sometimes outlandish things without meaning to, according to The Sun.
The Factory Girl star told the paper: "These things just come out of my mouth. I’ll say the most inappropriate things, guaranteed... but I don’t deliberately hurt anybody."
Sienna is apparently worried that she has the neurological disorder which Big Brother winner Pete Bennett famously suffers from.
In the past, she had made a few verbal faux pas including calling US city Pittsburgh ’S***sburgh’, while filming there. She later apologised.
But it looks like the actress’ new love, 21-year-old millionaire’s son Jamie Burke, doesn’t have a problem with her habit.
The pair were recently spotted getting cosy together on a beach in Mexico, while Sienna sunbathed topless.
Sienna smooches with new man? - Feb 23 2007
It seems the mystery of Sienna Miller’s love life has finally been unravelled - she’s been spotted looking cosy with millionaire’s son Jamie Burke.
The twosome were snapped looking intimate on a beach in Mexico, with Sienna sunbathing topless and gazing into former public schoolboy Jamie’s eyes.
Onlookers told the Daily Mirror the duo were all over each other, with 25-year-old Sienna giving Jamie a sizzling smooch in full view of other holidaymakers.
"They were like a couple of lovestruck teenagers," a source told the paper.
It seems Jamie, 21, is no stranger to dating famous women - the long-haired hunk has been linked to supermodel Kate Moss, rocker Courtney Love and US starlet Lindsay Lohan, according to the Mirror.

Sienna’s parents divorced rather early in her life and she moved to England with her mother, where Jo took on the job of running London’s Lee Strasberg drama school.
Sienna spent most of her adolescent life at Heathfield School, a boarding school in Ascot. On her return to London she enrolled at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Early theatre performances were on the stages of New York and include The Striker, Independence and Cigarettes & Chocolate, directed by Anthony Minghella, who’s famous for helming the movie The English Patient (1996).
In New York she was ’spotted’ by Select Modeling agency, she continued to model on her return to England.
After starring in a few underrated television shows, Paramount Pictures signed her up to a seven-year contract. It was following this that she began to grab a few roles in some big budget silver screen productions, including Layer Cake, Alfie and Casanova.
After co-starring in Alfie together, Sienna began a relationship with one of the UK’s hottest men, Jude Law, and it is mostly this soapbox of a relationship that bagged her the most column inches.
Sienna went on to play Celia in a West End stage production of As You Like It, fulfilling a life times ambition - however not to great acclaim.
In 2006 she finished filming Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgewick.
