The retraction, or in this case the contrition, is always always on the back page, but for Pittsburgh's sake, it is important we bring it to your attention.
According to multiple sites on the interweb, Sienna Miller issued the following statement, vaguely apologizing for last month's Steel Town bar incident:
I'm very sorry about being rude but I was working so hard on the movie The Mysteries of Pittsburgh.
I was really tired and it came out wrong. I feel terrible about it.
But does she know Pittsburgh is an island, just like Manhattan? And did she follow through on her promise to thoroughly explore Queer As Folk's Liberty Avenue, the Warhol Museum, et al? Will her penance be three Our Fathers and three PSA sports for Visit Pittsburgh?
We are guessing no. We are also obligated to tell you that the arrival of Sienna Miller directly coincided with the on field downfall of Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. Think about it.

Think you can enter Pittsburgh's Folino's Young's Tavern without a good fake id? Not on tavern owner Penny Folino and bouncer Dan Kovacs watch--especially if you were just spewing Pittsburgh hatred to Rolling Stone. That's right, an alert Jaunted reader tipped us off to Steel Town's revenge, reported by the Post Gazette.
Go here to let us know what Pittsburgh has to offer, or why it really is Shitsburgh.Just before midnight Saturday night, bar employees said, Ms. Miller, 24, appeared at the entrance of Folino's Young's Tavern, on Carson Street, without identification. Some five minutes later -- after ducking into the bar, eluding a bouncer who refused to let her inside -- Ms. Miller, in town for the filming of "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," was spotted inside and escorted back to the Carson Street sidewalk. There, tavern owner Penny Folino and bouncer Dan Kovacs said, a disgusted Ms. Miller proclaimed her identity to all who would listen.
Sienna ripped off her hat and said, 'I am Sienna Miller. I am a famous actress!'" Ms. Folino said. "That's what she did. She was basically throwing a temper tantrum.
Said Ms. Folino: "There was no reason for her to act like she did. No ID, no entry -- I'm sorry, we can't bend the rules for anybody."

Sienna Miller, in town filming "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh", recently told Rolling Stone that she was stuck in "Shitsburgh".
Can you believe this is my life? Will you pity me when you're back in your funky New York apartment and I'm still in Pittsburgh? I need to get more glamorous films.
So Pittsburgh hates Sienna Miller right now, right? Na, hardly, they aren't a bunch of haters.
Pittsburgh responds:
Well, she's wrong, it's Pyscho-burg.
I think I can understand why someone from England wouldn't appreciate it.
There are a lot of other cities that are worse, but there are a lot of other places that are better.
Hmm, none of this really goes along with Greater Pittsburgh Convention & Visitors Bureau company line:
With so much to see, you're sure to find something to love in Pittsburgh.
The mysteries of Pittsburgh indeed.
Defend Steel Town's honor, or bash Pitt here.
