Sienna Miller passes driving test
Actress Sienna Miller will no longer have to rely on chauffeurs and taxis to travel - because she has finally passed her driving test.
The ‘Factory Girl’ star was handed her licence after taking the test twice, and has reportedly splashed out on a $60,000 sports car to celebrate.
She recalls: “On my first test, they asked me to reverse into a bay of cones. I put my foot down, reversed at high velocity and completely flattened the cones.
“I did the girlie thing and burst into tears but the instructor was having none of it. He told me to get out of the car and apply for another test.”
And the 26-year-old was so determined to pass, she signed up for a week’s worth of intensive lessons and took the test again.
“I passed on the second attempt a few weeks ago. I’ll be in LA for the next few months filming the movie GI Joe and it’s like a ghost town if you can’t drive.”
Celebrity Love
Drew Barrymore was left devastated after her four-year relationship with Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti ended in early 2007, but it wasn’t long before loveable Drew found comfort in the arms of film star Justin Long, best known for his recent role in Die Hard 4.0.
Rachel Bilson got over her split from her OC co-star Adam Brody by hooking up with her new co-star Hayden Christensen - the pair are currently on the big screen together in time-travelling flick Jumper. If all this talk of romance has left you feeling blue, check out our photo gallery of recent celebrity bust-ups, below.
Heroes co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia initially denied their budding off-screen romance, perhaps due to the 12-year age gap (she’s 18; he’s 30). But the smitten couple have since come clean and have been photographed holding hands and gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes. Ah.
Publicity-shy couple Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans have yet to acknowledge their relationship in the media, but this joined-at-the-hip couple don’t fool us - they’ve been inseparable since last summer.
Model Sophie Dahl and jazz singer Jamie Cullum seem like an unlikely pair - at 5ft 4ins tall, Jamie is eight inches shorter than his girlfriend. The couple met at a charity event in March 2007 and now live together in New York.
Just weeks after breaking up with Pete Doherty, Kate Moss was in the arms of another rocker, The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince. Despite speculation she would go back to Pete once he left rehab, the new couple’s five-month relationship is still going strong.
Rhys Ifans says to Sienna Miller, “Marry me or it’s over”.
Sienna Miller has reportedly been told by lover Rhys Ifans, “Marry me or it’s over”.
The Notting Hill actor issued Sienna with the ultimatum during their recent romantic trip to New York.
A source said: “Rhys is fed up with all the secrecy around their relationship and wants to make it a permanent thing.
“He has asked Sienna to marry him and it’s the last time he will ask. He wants everyone to know they are officially an item.”
Rhys has told Sienna they must announce their engagement now or end the relationship, but the Edge of Love actress is refusing to be pushed into making a commitment.
The source is quoted on the Daily Mail website as saying: “Sienna has yet to make a decision and Rhys can’t understand why. Sienna is always trying to avoid the official relationship topic and is happy to keep it a low-profile affair. Rhys has been happy with that but now feels they should decide whether it’s going to be long-term or not.”
In December, Rhys bought Sienna an engagement ring for her 26th birthday, and hid the specially designed band among a pile of presents.
Rhys - who was first romantically linked to Sienna in August after he moved in to her London home when his houseboat started leaking - has reportedly asked the blonde star to marry him several times.
Last November, he is believed to have proposed to the actress by serenading her with a poem entitled Marry This Misfit.
Heath’s Memorial in LA
Led by megastar Tom Cruise, his wife Katie Holmes, Sienna Miller and Ellen DeGeneres, the stars paid tribute to the 28-year-old Oscar nominee on the lot of Sony studios in Los Angeles.
Lindsay Lohan, Josh Harnett , Shannyn Sossamon and British supermodel Lily Cole were among the high profile stars photographed arriving at the ceremony.
Singer Ben Harper performed at the hour long service, and Neil Young’s Old Man played as a slide show was played. Director Todd Haynes, who directed Ledger in last year’s Bob Dylan film, I’m Not There, spoke at the ceremony.
The ceremony follows a private family memorial a week earlier, which was also attended by Michelle Williams, Ledger’s former fiancee and mother of his two-year-old daughter Matilda, and another ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts.
It is expected that Ledger’s family will return to their hometown of Perth with his body early this week.
Pimp Diddy splits up with Kim Porter
I didn’t even know that P. Diddy was seeing someone but apparently they have split up now.
The couple first dated in the 1990s (producing 10 year old son Christian) before splitting in 1999. They reconciled again in 2003 after Diddy ended his high profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez, and twin girls D’Lila and Jessie were born in December last year.
Diddy always seems to be with a new chic everytime so I’m surprise the relationship lasted this long. Bad Boy Diddy has recently been linked up with Sienna Miller but both say they are just good friends….yeah right.
Sienna Miller a board game addict
Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, who are filming The Edge of Love in Wales, have been shunning nights on the town in favour of backgammon matches.
A source said: “Sienna is big on board games and she has got Keira hooked too. They think it’s hilarious because people assume they would be out on the town every night but instead they are cosied up like a couple of old men, getting all competitive over the backgammon board. Sienna says she prefers it to a big celebrity party any day.”
Sienna Miller being called a ’slut’ and ’slag’
Sienna Miller has recently said that:
“People say the most horrible things to me like ’slut’ and ’slag’ and it upsets me because I’m not like that.
“I’ve never had a one stand in my life. I was in a relationship [with Jude Law] more or less for the five years since I was 20, and sometimes people forget this.”
“I know how to let it go over my head, but then sometimes you do question why people are saying it. But it’s not true.”
The actress has recently been linked with ‘The Best Time of Our Lives co-star’ Matthew Rhys and Josh Hartnett. I wonder why people are calling her names.
Sienna late night parties upset neighbours
Sienna Miller has upset her neighbours by throwing all-night parties.
The actress, who lives in Marylebone in north-west London, is infuriating other residents with her wild bashes which last till morning. The parties are so big Sienna has even started hiring her own security team to control revellers.
One angry neighbour told Britain’s Independent newspaper: “She has parties with security guards outside that sometimes last until daylight. The music is so loud that it rattles our windows. When some one has gone round to complain, the music is turned down a bit and then turned up when they’ve gone. We’re going to call the noise police if it carries on.”
The parties have briefly stopped because Sienna is currently in Wales shooting new Dylan Thomas biopic ‘The Edge of Love’ - previously known as ‘The Best Time of Our Lives’.
But her exasperated neighbours are dreading her return because they are convinced the noisy bashes will start up again.
The source added: “I’m not looking forward to her coming back because the music will start up again.”
Sienna stars in ‘The Edge of Love’ with Keira Knightley and actor Matthew Rhys - who plays hard-drinking Welsh poet Dylan Thomas - and the trio are set to have a steamy onscreen threesome.
