Sienna Miller thinks Cate Blanchett a merrier maid than she

Sienna Miller bears no grudge against Cate Blanchett over her forfeiting of the Maid Marian role in the upcoming film Robin Hood.

“Cate’s 10 years older than me, which is more suitable for the script,” the actress has told a movie magazine.

“The script kept changing and evolving to the point where I was no longer appropriate for it.”

Miller was to have played the merry maid opposite Russell Crowe as Robin. The Ridley Scott-directed film has been shooting most recently on the Welsh coast.

“If they’d recast with Keira Knightley I’d have been heartbroken,” Miller said, “but they’ve gone for something different – and better in my opinion … If I had the choice between Cate Blanchett and me I’d go for Cate Blanchett.”

She also pointed out that other actors were swapped as the film developed. “There were several people supposed to be doing the film who no longer are but because it’s me it becomes this enormous drama – I think it’s a Sienna thing! …. There’s just a vendetta against … I don’t know.”

Sienna steps up for charity

Sienna Miller has donated a pair of her shoes in order to help raising money for the people suffering in Chad and the troubled Darfur region of Sudan.
Her donation is just a little part of many being made by a number of celebrities in what is Oxfam’s biggest ever celebrity and public auction.
Sir Elton John handed his tailor-made Donatella Versace suit which he wore to his white tie and tiara ball while Dame Helen Mirren has parted with her script for the Oscar-winning film The Queen.
There are many other interesting donations which include: signed photographs of the singer Jamelia, Tracey Emin artwork and the black leather jacket worn by Coldplay singer Chris Martin during the band’s Rush of Blood to the Head tour.
Explaining his support of the auction sir Elton said: “Try to imagine living in a tiny shelter made out of straw, dry branches, plastic sheeting with the sun baking down on you at 45 degrees. For most of us that’s beyond imagination.”
It’s great that such kind of auctions are organized because they could raise a lot of money and this way the people would realize that there are people who live in very bad conditions. Why don’t stop for a minute and think about that. Everybody could do something to help solving this problem.
