The actress who was engaged to Jude Law when he cheated with the nanny now says monogamy is "overrated."
Sienna Miller tells Rolling Stone that "monogamy is a weird thing" for her.
She says it's a hard thing to maintain because we're all "animals."
She's still with Law and is hoping they'll have babies.
The 24-year-old British actress has been in Pennsylvania shooting the screen adaptation of Michael Chabon's novel "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh."
She got into some hot water for comments she made about the city.
"Can you believe this is my life?" she told Rolling Stone. "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 and stop with my indie year."
She also called the city a profane name that rhymes with Pittsburgh.
Miller later apologized for disparaging the city, saying that her remarks had been taken out of context and that she found the city and residents gracious.
"What I have seen of it is beautiful," she said in a statement issued by her publicist. "I came once before to visit The Andy Warhol Museum whilst researching a film, and found both the city and its inhabitants warm and gracious."
And the glass-eyed expression the taxidermist would put on the Hollyweirdo would have greater depth and intellectual composure than they had in life.

LOL!
Have to check with the Admin Mods. to make sure it's not against FR rules for a FReeper to send love to his own wife through the forum.
This isn't Chicago, you know.

"Actress Sienna Miller: Monogamy Is 'Overrated'"
So is her ability to "act."
Once upon a time I believed something like that.
Of course, I was young and foolish at the time. (What is the benefit of being young and foolish, if you cannot take advantage of it.)
Then I got married. I knew the woman I married would not put up with my running around, so I didn't. Not once.
It wasn't easy, and more than a time or two -- especially in the first years of my marriage -- I wondered if monogamy was worth the bother. But I did not want to risk losing my wife, so I didn't cheat.
Over the years there have been times when we have been separated -- I was on business travel, she visiting relatives or friends. Didn't matter. I knew we would be together again soon. Admittedly I got worried after 9-11, when she and the kids were visiting her parents in the midwest, when I was in Texas (I needed to husband my vacation time against a potential layoff, and told her to take the kids and see both of our sets of parents for a month). But after I knew that she could get enough gas to drive home, a few days after that, I didn't worry.
Early last week my wife went into the hospital for an operation on an infection. Not necessarily life-threatening surgery, but potentially so, because they put her under general anesthesia. Surgery went well -- better than I had dare hope, but because of a new treatment, they have kept her in the hospital since then. (It involves putting mild suction on the injury to keep it closed and drained. It cannot be done at home.)
She will be home in a week or so. But this separation is a lot harder than the rest -- not because of anything going wrong, but because of the potential of what could have gone wrong. I told her that if she ever does decide to leave me for good, it would be kinder if she just shot me and put me out of my misery.
We will have be together 30 years this upcoming May.
Monogamy overated? Sienna Miller hasn't a clue.
I pity her.
Probably have. :) I can't tell one pampered actress from another. Thanks.. ;)
Speak for yourself, Ms. Miller. I'm sure Mr. Law is very pleased that you think you can't possibly avoid stepping out on him. What diseases are you prepared to bring home to Mr. Law, or pass on to your hypothetical babies?
That said, I pity the girl. She is really missing out. After thirteen years of marriage, I can tell you that one of the lessons of monogamy is "Practice makes perfect." As the great Ricardo montalban said, "Any dog can sleep around. But pleasing one woman for life, now that takes a real man."
Madame, welcome to FR, and congratulations to both of you.
Speaking of monogamy, may I ask when you two got hitched?
Direct Hit!
Saw her on Leno...she's cute but her mind certainly does not impress.
No, she's probably in favor of slutting around.
You folks are both in error. Sienna Miller was not in LOTR. Cate Blanchett was, of course, as Galadriel, the Elf Queen, holder of one of the Rings of Power. Liv Tyler, who was mentioned by MadIvan, was the female lead of the series, Arwen, daughter of Elron half-Elven, the great love of the King. Ms. Tyler is the daughter of a rock star, and comes out of that milieu.

Didn't I just *say* that? :-)
Cheers!
LOL! Walnut Creek averages about zero murders per year. Jerry may have conned a few white professionals into moving into new high-rise condos downtown and tried to deport part of his permanent underclass to Pittsburg/Bay Point and Richmond, but he hasn't delivered any real results.
...and thanks for straightening me out!
Cheers!
...private email coming...
Open Marriage is a two way street. She wants to cheat too.
What does she look like without thousands of dollars of beautician and clothing designer "work"?
Talk shows take Plain Janes and work them over all the time giving them the star treatment. 2 hours in a chair with 3 people doing your hair and makeup can do wonders.
Few can afford it or write it off as a business expense.
