Actress Sienna Miller has admitted that she had to wear fake breasts for her role in the forthcoming action movie 'GI Joe'.
According to IMDB.com Miller said that her costume for the film is: ". [a] tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs."
She added: "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."
Speaking about director Stephen Sommers special costume request, Miller said: "At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended."
The 'Factory Girl' star joins Dennis Quaid and Brendan Fraser to play femme fatale The Baroness in the upcoming movie, which is based on the popular US play figure and TV series.

Kelsey Grammer's TV Show Dumped
Former 'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer has announced that his new sitcom, 'Back To You', will not be returning for another season as it has been dumped by the Fox network.Grammer, who co-star's alongside Patricia Heaton from 'Everybody Loves Raymond', told The Associated Press that, "They have let it go. We were told all this time we were in good shape and we were coming back."'Back To You' is set in a newsroom of a television station, and pulls an audience in the U.S. of just under seven million viewers per week. "I'm not really sure what the real reasoning is," Grammer said. "I think they ended up with a show that was going to be a great show. It was a great show... they just really didn't want it."He adds, "It does exactly what you want a sitcom to do. Granted, there are new trends in viewing and it's edgy to watch something with no laugh track. But when the old form is firing, it's the funniest form in the world." An online petition to save 'Back To You' has been launched. Photo courtesy of NBC. Taken by Justin Lubin.
Ladytron, Velocifero
Velocifero is the fourth album from four-piece electro-pop innovators Ladytron and their first since 2005's great leap forward, Witching Hour, and a change of label.
Picking up where they left off, the 13-track studio album sets out with customary disregard for categorisation by referencing as many genres, bands, percussive riffs, cheesey keyboard lines, airborne melodies and souped-up synths as they can. So many in fact that you'll want to play this on 'repeat' so that you can keep a running tally.
Even the choice of recording venue seems more than just coincidental. The Studio de la Grande Armée in Paris was where Duran Duran recorded their career-making Rio and other notables – Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, INXS, Françoise Hardy and ABBA's Frida (the blonde one) among them – have all benefitted from its Gallic magic and charm. Factor in additional production credits here for Ed Banger Records' Vicarious Bliss and Nine Inch Nails keyboardist Alessandro Cortini and something special was bound to happen.
Velocifero gets under way with the delightfully dark wrap-around fuzz of Black Cat – Roxy Music out of Gary Numan driven along with Kraftwerk-like discipline and held together by Bulgarian vocals.
Lead single Ghosts carries itself with a jaunty Goldfrappian bounce but eschews glitter and cod glam to offer something altogether more rewarding. Runaway's infectious Pet Shop Boys-accented mantra is no less retro but staunchly refuses nostalgia and where Deep Blue rises to blissfully enraptured heights and Tomorrow coasts on the sweetest simplicity of execution, Predict The Day delivers a steadily mounting maelstrom of sound that boils over into a magnificently crafted messiness.
Ladytron have never made much of an impact on the UK charts. If there's any justice, Velocifero will catapult them out of their decade-long cult status into deserved commercial success.
