Sienna Miller Has Some Freakin' Nerve, and Lawyers
Bauer Griffin Online

British paper the Guardian reports that lawyers representing Sienna Miller have issued a writ for breach of privacy against publications News of the World and the Sun, along with photo agency Big Pictures.

The reason for the legal battle? Recent articles that exposed the actress cavorting topless with married man Balthazar Getty on the shores of Italy.

You know, that very private forum of the Great Outdoors.

Sure, Sienna's public strip show signaled the end of Getty's marriage to Rosetta Millington—who bore Balthy's four children—but apparently Sienna fancies herself the real victim.

See here, Sienna Miller: You were the one who decided to get involved with a married man. You were the one who jutted your naked breasts in front of God and everybody, like two missiles aimed straight at the sanctity of Balthazar Getty's marriage.

Here's an idea, Sienna. Why not take the money that you're throwing away on lawyers' fees, and invest in a few shirts?

Quotables /
“Sienna Miller was basically labeled a homewrecker after topless photos of her on vacation with Balthazar Getty emerged. It also didn't help that Balthazar waited a week to announce he was separated from his wife at the time. So, Sienna is looking to cash in on the situation by suing The Sun, News of the World and Big Pictures for invasion of privacy.

For the record, this kind of celebrity legal shenanigans is only kosher in Europe. Thankfully, here in the U.S., we understand the importance of seeing famous body parts.* Future historians will look back on our culture and revere Britney Spears' vagina as if it were the Declaration of Independence. Damn, somebody should print some of my posts and bury them in a time capsule. People in the future should see how freaking advanced I was. Then they'll build a moon statute in my honor which, for accuracy's sake, should include me uppercutting a tank.”
The Superficial
“Plucky British actress and sometimes topless boat captain Sienna Miller is suing some photo agencies and British tabloids that ran the pictures of her on her Italian vacation with Brothers & Sisters star Balthazar Getty.

Seriously, if a woman who makes her money by marketing her image on the big screen can't expect to go topless out in the outdoors with her married (but separated) actor boyfriend without some kind of privacy, well, then what kind of world are we living in?”
