Sienna: it's not my fault I called it Sh!itsurgh!



Hey, remeber that whole Sh!tsburgh thing. Well, that wasn't her fault. Nope, it was the journalist's fault. If the journalist had only been more responsible (like she has any business talking about responisbility!), none of this would have happened. Yet another thing that is not her fault.

I'm serious, is this woman capable of shutting up!? She is her own worst enemy. It's kind of funny watching someone throw dirt on their own grave.

"Sienna Miller has learned the hard way to choose her words wisely.

While on location filming "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," the Brit seemingly dissed the Steel City, calling it "S-sburgh" to a reporter.

"It was a stupid joke because it rhymes. In the hands of a responsible journalist, humor and sarcasm will be translated appropriately," Miller told us with a smirk at the film's Cinema Society/Links of London screening. "It was not meant as disrespectful in any way. In England, we have great rhyming slang, and everyone spends their day rhyming. But for all the trouble that comment caused, there were many people who were supportive."

And let's be honest...Pittsburgh is a pretty *beep* city.

Pittsburgh sucks. It smells like *beep*





Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Take your stupid ignorant comments and go wipe your ass with them. The G20 summit is coming here, among other things, and not to the inferior irrelevant *beep* hole you live in... whooops!

I live five minutes outside of the city, and it smells fine too me..

In fact, the city has done extensive work to clean the place up and turn it in to a greener, more liveable city. Obviously if you are a Browns fan or live in Cleveland you live in contrary due to biast belief.

Not our fault we do almost everything better than the "mistake by the lake."

Although I love the Cavs', and I'm a quarter-season ticket holder. ;)

I don't see what the problem is? Pittsburg sucks, so what, she's right. Just because they are making efforts to clean up Pittsburg doesn't mean all of a sudden it's San Diego or something. It still sucks.

Pittsburg? Pittsburg, Kansas? Town is so small, why would you rip on them? I'm sure not a lot of tax dollars go in to such a small place; cut them some slack.

By the way, do you have any thoughts on the topic of interest here? Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

Been to Pittsburgh many times, and although they're sports teams are rivals of my Philly teams, I find nothing wrong with the city...it's kinda beautiful and I always thought the river with the walking bridges over it to be charming (if I remember correctly they were for cars as well, and there are a bunch of them, all visible from the others)...sorry, Pittsburghers, if I don't have my memories in order...

However, I don't think Ms. Miller was being disingenuous when she said the thing about the English having "rhyming slang", and *beep* rhyming with Pitt, etc...that sounds right to me, like I've heard that before. That doesn't absolutely mean she meant no disrespect, but I buy her story...but I'm not from Pittsburgh, so maybe my opinion doesn't count...

Been to Pittsburgh and I liked it. What city is perfect? At least it has some charm and character and interesting architecture, neighborhoods, nightlife, etc. I could see living there, and I can't say that about a lot of places.

yea rhyming slang! Pittsburgh *beep* sienna sluttyenna. Yea it does work!! I am from Pittsburgh. It's been cleaned up for decades. I don't know know what you haters are referring to. Unless the one poster is right and the fact that the steelers are one of the best teams in the country. Pittsburgh has one of the biggest and best medical facilities, the best in technology - Carnegie Mellon. Need I go on? Ever city has their slum areas. *beep* even 1 block from the white house is welfare/drug area. Fact is a British slut, family wreaker who gets off breaking up families for jollies cuts down an American city, you should be defending the city not the slut.

As a Washington Capitals fan, I've uttered the same words as Ms. Miller many times, but I still prefer 'Puck Fittsburgh" as it throws in some hockey right into the insult. However, I only say it during hockey season, Pittsburgh is a pretty cool city, used to date a girl from there, can't complain. I still hate everyone from Pitt during hockey season, sorry, sports are more important than your feelings.
