Sienna Miller - Miller Hinted At Ifans Split Weeks Ago

British actress SIENNA MILLER hinted that a split between her and ex-fiance RHYS IFANS was possible - weeks before reports claimed they had separated.

The couple is alleged to have parted ways earlier this month (Jun08), with Miller reportedly dumping Notting Hill actor Ifans by phone.

But the Alfie star revealed she wasn't ready to settle down while recently promoting forthcoming film GI Joe.

In an interview with Britain's Telegraph Magazine, which was published on Sunday (08Jun08), Miller appears to cast doubt over the future of her relationship with Ifans.

She says, "When it comes to settling down, I chop and change.

"I really thought I was ready for it, and then I realised that I wanted to be selfish for a little bit longer. I'm full of curiosity. I know that as soon as I have a child it will probably be everything, and I don't want to regret not doing more.

"I'll always work, I hope, but I want to have the freedom to go to India tomorrow for three months, like Tarka (Cordell, her writer friend) did.

"The press will say, 'She doesn't love Rhys' and 'She's selfish!', but I'm 26 and I have time and when it's right it will happen."

A classifiable, schoolgirlish voice, nipping, impeccable delivery, and an irrepressible sense of playful swing made Blossom Dearie one of the almost gratifying singers of the outspoken era. Her warmheartedness and froth ensured that she'd ne'er treat standards as the hackneyed songs they frequently appeared in less capable manpower. And though her report was made on record with a string of splendid albums for Verve during the '50s, she remained a draw with Manhattan floor show audiences long into the new millennium.

After gradation, she affected to New York and began coming into court with vocal groups like the Blue Flames (attached to Woody Herman) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey). She besides played cocktail forte-piano around the urban center, and stirred to Paris in 1952 to form her have radical, the Blue Stars of France. Dearie besides appeared in a night club play with Annie Ross, and made a brusk, uncredited appearance on King Pleasure's vocalese classical, "Moody's Mood for Love." She recorded an isolated record album of forte-piano solos, and in 1954, the Blue Stars hit the national charts with a French version of "Cradlesong of Birdland."

Her eponymous debut for Verve featured a set of standards that aslope traditional pop back to its roots in Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, and floor show. Her focussing on knowledgeable readings of standards ("Deed of conveyance I Do," "Thousand Swell") and the relaxed triad scene (bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jo Jones, plus Dearie on piano) john Drew nods to her nightspot screen background.


On her following few records, Dearie stuck to her focal point on standards and small groups, though her gift for songwriting emerged as well with songs like "Blossom's Blues." She performed in solo settings at supper clubs all over New York, and appeared on the more civilised of the late-'50s New York lecture shows. Her married man, flautist Bobby Jaspar, made several appearances on her records, notably 1959's My Gentleman Friend. After a recording break in the early '60s, Blossom Dearie gestural to Capitol for one album (1964's May I Come In?), merely then recorded slenderly during the rest of the ten.


At long last, in the other '70s, she formed her have Daffodil Records mark and began releasing her have work, including 1974's Bloom Dearie Sings and the following year's My Favorite Celebrity Is You. She besides performed at Carnegie Hall with Anita O'Day and Joe Williams, billed as the Jazz Singers. She continued to perform and record during the eighties, centered mostly in New York merely also a regular attraction in London as well.
