Sienna Miller is back in the goss news again but this time it has nothing to do with any philandering with the still-married Balthazar Getty OR the very-married Cillian Murphy. This time, she’s making headlines regarding her new film G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra … imagine that. According to Sienna, she was approached by G.I. Joe director Stephen Sommers to amplify her breast region (with prosthetic breast enhancers that she described as looking like a couple of “chicken fillets”) so that she could more fully fill out her skin-tight Baroness costume, allegedly telling her “I like girls with big boobs”. Somers is refuting that claim and tells Entertainment Weekly that he said no such thing and that everything you see of her boob region in the film is all Sienna Miller. Honestly, I kinda believe Sienna on this one:

Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) tells EW that he did not insist that Sienna Miller’s breasts be enhanced for his forthcoming action movie G.I. Joe. A widely circulated news story quotes the British actress (pictured, in G.I. Joe) as saying that, in the film, she wears, “a tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs…. They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, ‘I’m gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,’ and I don’t have them so we made them bigger…. At least he’s honest. But I was mildly offended.” Sommers says he was aware of the story –- we suppose you could say he kept abreast of the situation -– but claims it is untrue. “Everybody here laughed because they know I would NEVER say that to an actress,” says the filmmaker. “I guess the costume department gave her a tight fitting bra, but no one gave her rubber breasts or whatever. It is 100 percent Sienna Miller.”

HMMM. Do I believe that Stephen Somers is a misgynistic pig? No. Do I believe that he prolly insisted that Sienna’s breasts be enhanced for the film … yes, I do. G.I. Joe is marketed to young men and is based on the comic book ideal that all women have enormously plump and perky breasts at all times. I gotta say that, despite his claims to the contrary, I can absolutely believe that the “chicken fillets” were forced on Sienna Miller. After all, why in the world would she make such a claim in the first place if it weren’t true? Nothing about what she said paints her in a particularly positive light. While I do believe that Somers (or someone high up on the food chain) insisted on the amplification, I can see why he (or they) would not want a story like this to get out. It’s one of the oldest games in Hollywood — women are objectified.

In other G.I. Joe news, Somers (prolly really trying to change the subject of Sienna‘s alleged fake boobs) reveals that he was inspired by the underwater fight scene in the James Bond film Thunderball and that he put in an even more epic underwater fight scene in his new movie, saying:

“In a very contemporary way, G.I. Joe is inspired by the memory of the kind of movies I saw when I was younger. I remember being in the theater for Thunderball and the big underwater battle at the end of that movie just blew my socks off. In G.I. Joe, there’s an underwater battle under the polar icecap that’s Thunderball times 10!”

This is good news, I think. I wonder who will be fighting who underwater. I wonder if there’ll be any male enhancements featured in the film as a result. Mebbe we’ll be hearing that Channing Tatum was asked to stuff a “banana”-like thing in his tight underwater pants for effect. I can’t wait to see and make that determination for myself.
