Sienna MillerSienna Miller Works Through Her Sundance Swag-Hoarding GuiltSienna Miller, aka The It Girl Who Never Really Was, sat down with the LAT in Sundance to promote Interview, her latest attempt at registering something beyond a faint ping on the public's radar. Directed by and starring Steve Buscemi (who, much like the rest of the world, had to admit he had no idea who Miller was at first), the movie tells the story of a nebbish war reporter who's reluctantly sent on an assignment to profile a tabloid-target. After Miller abruptly dismissed the reporter's "I'm exactly like my character/nothing like my character in my just-released movie" line of requisite questioning, a new area of discussion--the stigma of indulging too enthusiastically in Sundance gifting suites--was broached: "[I]t makes you feel guilty. I did get given some stuff that I didn't ask for necessarily ... then I found out that you can actually give it to this company that auctions it on EBay and gives the money for charity." So here, according to staffers at the various swag suites, are the things that may be popping up on the online auction site, courtesy of Ms. Miller: From the Fred Segal boutique, $300 in Le Mystère Lingerie panties, which they said Miller took after telling them she'd forgotten to pack her "knickers"; $200 boots by Earth shoes; a $400 Portolano brown cashmere shawl; and a $450 Linea Pelle handbag. From the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge, a $1,200 Melrose Mac laptop, which staffers said Miller was "very excited" to take. From the Jessica Meisels Marquee Lounge, $8,000 of Lia Sophia jewelry, an $800 Botkier bag and $900 in Dermalogica skin care products, which she was delighted to receive, according to those present, because she's been traveling for a month and has run out of "everything." As the pretty-young-thing puff-piece quickly devolves into a reporter's investigation into one starlet's suspicious freebie-hoarding activities, we're left with the nagging feeling that many of these items will never see "this company that auctions it on EBay." Nevertheless, with her exhaustively chronicled swagalog now public knowledge, perhaps Miller will feel compelled to come through on her charitable, regifting intentions--even if that means instructing her assistant to drop off a plastic shopping bag brimming with three-quarters-empty Dermalogica moisturizer tubes and slightly used Le Mystère lace knickers at the closest Goodwill. Sienna Miller's Celebrity Status Overshadows Acting CareerBritish actress Sienna Miller has admitted her high-profile relationship with Jude Law has overshadowed her film career. The 25-year-old beauty came to the public's attention when she started dating the Cold Mountain actor in 2004, and her profile continued to increase as their on/off relationship took several twists and turns before finally ending in November. She's now a firm favorite of the British fashion press thanks to her quirky dress sense, but she admits her acting career has yet to catch up with her celebrity status. She says, "Everything just happened in the wrong order. I did my first proper film where I met Jude and we got together, and then the whole celebrity thing happened before I had any films out. "And before now I've only had three films out - and they haven't been very successful - so there's nothing to overshadow the celebrity side of things." Sienna Miller On Why She is Famous!Sienna Miller has confessed that she is only famous because of her relationship with Jude Law reports thisislondon.co.uk Asked why she is so widely recognized, the actress, 25, admitted: "I don't know why, particularly," before bravely conceding it certainly wasn't for any of her films. "It's this national obsession with what happens next and if your soap opera gets particularly juicy and particularly scandalous then it's more interesting - and somehow I always end up being scandalous even though I don't mean to."I just find it. If it's there, if there's something scandalous lurking, I'll accidentally walk into it. I guess the relationship I've been in has been a particularly good soap opera." "Everything just happened in the wrong order. I did my first proper film where I met Jude and we got together, and then the whole celebrity thing happened before I had any films out. "I was probably perceived for a long time as someone who was just famous for...well, for a reason, but wasn't taken seriously as an actress," she told PEOPLE at the Sundance Film Festival. "People didn't want to pay attention to the fact that I actually took my work quite seriously.'' Miller, 25, began a romance with Law, 34, after appearing as on-screen lovers in Alfie. They got engaged in Dec. 2004 but Miller broke off the relationship after Law's affair with his children's nanny, Daisy Wright, was exposed the following year. Miller has no regrets from the time she spent with Law. "I loved working with Jude," she says of making Alfie. "He's an incredible actor. I actually liked that film, but maybe it was because I was falling in love and having a magical time making it." Now, the actress has made a name for herself in films. On Monday Miller will be in New York City for the premiere of the Andy Warhol biopic Factory Girl, in which she stars as muse Edie Sedgwick reports PEOPLE. COMEDIAN Jay Leno gave Sienna Miller a mouthful when she appeared on his chat show -by getting her to stuff her face with grapes.The actress told Leno how she and Aussie Heath Ledger had resorted to seeing who could shove the most grapes in their mouths in a bid to ease boredom on the set of Casanova. Leno then challenged her to show him how many she could do - and Sienna managed to squeeze 14 grapes into her mouth. But despite her impressive effort, she was beaten by Leno who got 31 into his mouth. An astonished Sienna - who is in the States to promote her new movie Factory Girl – told the host: "I'll get you a t-shirt. There were so many... I can't believe it."
