Oh dear. When is Leslie Sloane Zelnik going to start encouraging her clients to shut up and stop making total asses of themselves? First, Lindsay Lohan told Vanity Fair she was a bulimic drug addict. Then she allows Britney Spears to do a Matt Lauer interview with nappy hair extension, chewing gum, and her bra hanging out.
Now, Sienna Miller does an interview with Rolling Stone, in which she refers to the city of Pittsburg as "shitsburg." Lovely, Sienna. And great job, Zelnik! Well, at least she had the foresight (or the PR machine wheel greaser) to send out a letter of apology (full of fun Brit spelling) out before too many people hear about the comments in the first place.

I want to apologise for my comments which seem to have been misconstrued and taken out of context. I was referring to the fact that we are shooting almost all night shoots on this film and none of us have had an opportunity to fully explore the city. What I have seen of it is beautiful. I came once before to visit the Andy Warhol museum whilst researching a film and found both the city and it's inhabitants warm and gracious. My father is from Meadville and is in town to show me round this weekend. I sincerely apologise and hope people realise that conversations can be easily manipulated in print.
Yeah, we can see how saying "we haven't seen this beautiful city during the day" could be construed into "this is a piece of shit city." However, we do far prefer the honestly of the latter.
