‘Congratulations’ to Sienna for winning a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her role in G.I. Joe!! The ‘anti’-awards were held in Beverley Hills last night, to celebrate all the worst films of the year. Sienna ‘beat’ Candice Bergen (BRIDE WARS), Ali Larter (OBSESSED), Kelly Preston (OLD DOGS) and Julie White (as Mom) (TRANNIES, TOO) to ‘win’ her award. See the other ‘winners’ here. Sienna was not in attendance at the event.

Most of us – Sienna included, I expect – know G.I. Joe was just a fun movie and role, as are these awards, so it’s nice to have a bit of a laugh about this, I think!

Sienna Miller – who recently rekindled her romance with actor Jude Law – is unhappy about the way she is perceived, but is glad she never changed her ways to suit other people.

The 28-year-old star said: “I think if anyone documents their 20s, it’s not going to be ideal all the time. And I refused to conform. I wasn’t going to become agoraphobic. I was going to live my life.

“Of course I’ve made mistakes but I don’t really regret – I can’t really regret – anything, because that’s just part of growing up.”

While she has no regrets, Sienna admits she has become more guarded because speaking candidly about herself has caused her too many problems in the past.

She added to Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “I’ve got an enormous mouth. No filter! I have to learn.

Fresh from joining forces with supermodel, Natalia Vodianova, to host the starry, fund-raising Love Ball last night, Harper’s Bazaar editor, Lucy Yeomans, has persuaded some key British designers to create a range of stylish T-shirts in aid of the Women for Women International charity.

The 11-piece “Women for Women” collection includes designs by veterans Nicole Farhi, Betty Jackson and Amanda Wakeley; actress Sienna Miller, who showed her and her sister, Savannah’s label, Twenty8Twelve, last Sunday at London Fashion Week; and new design sensation, Holly Fulton, renowned for her prints. As befits its rock-chic aesthetic, Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon has opted for a punky, thunderbolt motif, while hearts and swallows adorn Alice Temperley’s whimsical tee. The remaining designers are Bella Freud, Charlotte “Olympia” Dellal, Claire Waight Keller of Pringle, and Pam Hogg. Singer-turned-photographer Bryan Adams shot the campaign.

Proceeds will go to the charity, founded in 1993, which helps women whose lives have been shattered in war-torn countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo. The organisation aims to provide financial and emotional support, and jobs and business skills training.

Says Yeomans: “I’m thrilled at the amazing and heart-warming response from each British designer to support [this] incredible charity.

“There’s something quite powerful and poignant about top British female talent using their creativity to raise money for a charity that helps other women, and I’m extremely proud that Bazaar is at the heart of this campaign.”

The collection will be launched on March 8, which coincides with International Women’s Day.

As Covent Garden played host to the BAFTAS, just down the road, on the banks of the River Thames, London Fashion Week was in fierce and stylish competition with its own global superstars, red carpet-worthy gowns and the ‘premiere’ of a new movie, starring Sienna Miller.

Miss Miller played a sexy rock-chick in a short film to promote Twenty8Twelve (named for her birthday), the label she designs with her sister Savannah.

The movie was projected onto the wood-panelled walls of the Art Nouveau palace at 2 Temple Place last night, which was originally built for the first Viscount Astor.

It formed a backdrop for models parading the Twenty8Twelve autumn/winter 2010/2011 collection, which was inspired by 1980s underground club culture, in acid-dyed denim and velvet, with hand-crocheted knits.

Earlier, Sienna Miller had taken a break to sit in the front row for the show by the British designer, Matthew Williamson, one of her best friends. Williamson’s collection, inspired by Spain and the culture of the matador, featured fan details on cobalt, purple, and salt-and-pepper tweed suits; fiesta prints; toreador trousers; and dazzling shifts and gowns in gold and silver, based on bullfighters’ jackets.

G.I. Joe was released on DVD in North America about a month ago (sorry for not posting an alert then!), and is out today in the UK. Thanks to my lovely friend Jess I’ve added screencaps from the movie and what seems to be the only extra featuring Sienna.

While this film is certainly no masterpiece, it is an enjoyable and action-packed popcorn movie, and Sienna is on fire as The Baroness! Order your copy of G.I. Joe at Amazon.co.uk/Amazon.com.

International Medical Corps announced today the appointment of actress and activist Sienna Miller as an Ambassador. Miller recently traveled with International Medical Corps to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to see first-hand the impact that war has had on women and children. During more than a decade, an estimated 5.4 million people have died in DRC as a result of the ongoing conflict and disease. International Medical Corps has been providing health services and training local health professionals there since the ‘90s.

“We are tremendously grateful to have Sienna join our efforts in raising awareness of the suffering of vulnerable populations in DRC and around the world,” said International Medical Corps President & CEO Nancy A. Aossey. “In many of these remote and volatile areas we are providing the only health care services that exist. Sienna’s steadfast commitment to shining a light on these crises will – and already has – had an enormous impact on our life-saving work.”

“After seeing International Medical Corps’ courageous work up-close I was determined to become more involved, devoting my energies and my name to bring more attention to the challenges they face around the world,” said Miller, who currently stars on Broadway in “After Miss Julie.” “These people work in the toughest conditions imaginable, saving lives every single day, and helping bring self-reliance and hope. The question for me was, how could I not take action?”

Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps today has a staff of 3,500 working in more than 22 countries and regions. Its relief efforts focus on training local health workers, delivering maternal and child health care, integrating mental health into primary care settings, and promoting the use of clean water, proper sanitation and hygiene.

August Strindberg’s 1888 play Miss Julie is lauded as a great work, but I’m not so sure about that. It’s a terse, cold play that examines an archetypal hysterical female, locked into rigid ideas of sex and class, as if she were a bug under a jar. It is scarily persistent, though, and Patrick Marber’s After Miss Julie is the rare reimagining of a classic play that may actually improve upon the original. This passionate reworking shifts the setting to a country estate outside London in 1945—when the differences between lower and upper classes were supposedly dissolving—and strives to understand Strindberg’s confused characters instead of just diagnosing them.

Miss Julie (Sienna Miller) is the privileged daughter of the manse, a haughty vixen clearly taken with John (Jonny Lee Miller), her father’s chauffeur. She strides into the kitchen oblivious to the fact that John and his maybe-fiancée, the solid and religious Christine (Marin Ireland), might be wanting some time alone. No: She demands that John must come outside and dance with Miss Julie; he must pour her a drink; he must, humbly and erotically, kiss her shoe. John, whose identity is shaped entirely by his job serving her family, at first resists, then succumbs to her manipulative seductions by confessing his lifelong love, and finally grows repulsed as their ill-matched plans for each other unfold. They humiliate and degrade one another, practically searing brands into each other’s skin.
