The Fix

Sienna Miller makes nice with "Shitsburgh." McCartney "livid" about trespassers. Plus: Mark Wahlberg, pro golfer?

The letters thread is now closed.

If you leave downtown Pittsburgh

It really is a fucked up lunar landscape of abandoned steel mills and empty shopping malls. Perish the thought that one actress badmouth the local Rotary club.

Where is that lunar landscape?

I lived in Pittsburgh for 5 months or so, and I think it is a beautiful city--much more livable than Chicago, where I had lived before that. And the cost of living is SIGNIFICANTLY lower. AND someone ought to point out to Sienna that in Pennsylvania, clothing isn't taxed.

If a city is offering you its hospitality, the least you can do is be gracious about it and don't publicly diss it. What a big baby. My heart bleeds...

To each his or her own...

... but I think Pittsburgh is one of the nicest surprises in the States, as well as one of the biggest success stories. They long ago turned themselves around from once being a truly hellish smoke-choked nightmare to now being a shining jewel of a city. No, it's not Rome or London, but it is a perfectly nice and very liveable American city set in a lovely corner of the world with rivers and hills. If it failed to impress Sienna Miller, however, she could have at least had the courtesy to her former hosts not to be so insulting, let alone vulgar.

In the Law according to Foley

"16-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes, an Oscar nominee for 2003's "The Whale Rider," has announced that she is pregnant with her 19-year-old boyfriend's child"

this is public pedophilia...

Feds...social services...Christians....lets make an example of this pre-Foley in training. Take their child and lock'em both up.

Miller's just a drug addicted ho

She and Jude Law both. Remember when Jude's baby swallowed one of his ecstasy pills? Now they pall around with Pete Doherty and his drug addicted ho. Maybe they're swingers. If an athlete's baby ever swallowed some X, the guy would be declared an enemy comabatant, right quick.

"lock'em up"?

this is public pedophilia...

Feds...social services...Christians....lets make an example of this pre-Foley in training. Take their child and lock'em both up.

Oh please, just calm down.

It's not pedophilia and it's not comparable to Foley's case. If they live in a state which has Romeo and Juliet provisions, it's not even statutory rape.

Sure, it's stupid and irresponsible on their parts, but locking them both up -- including the girl, really? -- is a thuggish response.
