Sienna Miller straps on the leather for gun-toting GI Joe role.. but it's not the most original look
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it appears Sienna Miller may be taking inspiration from Kate Beckinsale's vampire warrior in Underworld for her latest film role. The svelte blonde channels the spirits of Kate's character Selene and Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft as she bulks up the play villainess The Baroness in the live action adaptation of the popular American comic and toy series. Dressed head to toe in black leather and brandishing two large handguns, Sienna's new look is

Wedding on ice as Sienna Miller plays it cool with 'jealous' Rhys Ifans
Given that they have been dating for less than a year, talk of a summer wedding for Sienna Miller and her boyfriend Rhys Ifans always seemed a little premature. Now it seems that marriage could be off the cards altogether.

Rhys and Sienna finally engaged for real
The couple is alleged to be planning a summer wedding after Sienna accepted Ifans' third proposal earlier this month. Lucky Rhys first asked for Miller's hand in marriage in August last year by sending her a cryptic message in Welsh, which read: "Marry the Misfit." He then proposed for a second time in December at her 26th birthday party by hiding an engagement ring in a pile of gifts. But it was third time lucky for the actor when Sienna finally accepted his proposal just a few weeks ago.

First Pics Of G.I. Joe's Snake Eyes
Poor old Ray Park. Whenever he appears in a really big movie – The Phantom Menace, Sleepy Hollow – it seems that he's not allowed to speak. Based on his performance in X-Men, some would say that's a good thing. But those people are just projecting their own issues and really need to look inside themselves and give their inner child a hug, our therapist says. USA Today has the first images of Park as Snake Eyes in Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe. For those unschooled in G.I. Joe lore, like us, Snake Eyes is

Miller takes in Sun, Si and sand
ALL that “research” on sunshine hols with her fella RHYS IFANS has obviously come in handy for Sienna Miller. Here’s a still from her new film, The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh showing her stretching her acting skills by, er, sprawling out on a sun lounger.

The lady is a vamp: Sienna goes to the dark side on the set of her latest film
Clearly relishing her role as a villain, Sienna Miller has gone to the dark side. The actress, famed for her sun-kissed blonde locks, vamped up her look with a poker straight jet-black mane on the set of her new film GI Joe. However, fans of Sienna's style can breathe a sigh of relief - the 26-year-old's gothic look is created with a cleverly fitted wig.

Keira Knightley and her razor-sharp collarbone steal the spotlight at premiere
Keira Knightley turned heads for all the wrong reasons last night as she arrived for the London premiere of her new film The Edge Of Love.

The actress was delighted when she was ordered to pile on the pounds for her role as Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' wife in the forthcoming The Edge of Love. Sienna said: "I just stuffed my face for the months that we were in production. It wasn't hard for me. We were staying in this incredibly eccentric Welsh manor house. I had huge fried breakfasts, pasties for lunch and lots of toasted sandwiches." Despite being happy to bulk up for the role, the actress admits she suffers from the same insecurities as a

Atonement stars Knightley and McAvoy honoured at long last
It was a long time coming but Keira Knightley and James McAvoy finally won something last night for their starring roles in the wartime epic Atonement. While it can hardly be put in the same class as the Oscars, Golden Globes and Baftas, collecting the best actor and best actress accolade in Empire magazine's film awards at least breaks their duck.
